Do serum and CSF N-acetyl aspartate levels differ in multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica?

This research indicates a gap in health care for young mothers. Only half enter parenthood with a PCP, and once mothers, few plan to see a physician for preventive care. In this study, OBGYNs were identified most often for preventive health care. Therefore OBGYNs should provide comprehensive care to this population, or connect them with other PCPs. Furthermore, young mothers do plan on seeing FPs for acute health care, supporting previous recommendations that physicians use all visits to provide comprehensive care to adolescents.
