Antiepileptic medicines provide significant benefit to people with epilepsy, but they are associated with an increased risk of harm during pregnancy - as are seizures; benefit and risk must be balanced: https://t.co/WbhsWS8HNz #bpacnz #Epilepsy #Antiepileptics

Māori in New Zealand are disproportionately affected by hereditary diffuse gastric cancer. Whānau who carry the gene have a 70% risk of developing this cancer, therefore most undergo a prophylactic gastrectomy; see: https://t.co/N5vNCgZ16q #bpacnz #gastric_cancer
