Obstetrical and gynecologic implications of COVID-19: what have we learned over the first two years of the pandemic.

The rapidly evolving nature of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in the publication of a breadth of information in the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology. This article is an examination of the impacts of COVID-19 on women's health, specifically on pregnancy, fertility, and delays to care. We review, in brief, the clinical presentation, transmission, and definitions of post-COVID conditions.

The prognosis of pediatric headaches--a 30-year follow-up study.

Background: Although headaches in childhood are common, there are few data available on their long-term prognosis. We have monitored a group of patients since diagnosis in 1983.

Methods: Patients who were part of the 20-year follow-up study in 2003 were contacted, and data were collected using a standardized telephone interview.

Dexamethasone given to premature infants and cardiac diastolic function in early childhood.

Objectives: To determine if dexamethasone given to premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia would result in cardiac diastolic dysfunction in early childhood, a topic unstudied in humans.

Study Design: We compared seven children ages 3 to 8 years born at 26 weeks' gestation and given dexamethasone for bronchopulmonary dysplasia with eight gestation-matched and age-matched control children using echocardiography to assess measures of systolic and diastolic function. All dexamethasone patients had resolved hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
