Facilitating coordination between medical and educational systems to improve access to pediatric therapies for preschool children with developmental delays and disabilities.

Introduction: A large portion of preschool-age children with developmental delays and disabilities (PCw/DD) do not receive recommended therapeutic services, including legally mandated school-based therapies. This study examines the feasibility of a community-clinical linkage using virtual patient navigation and a medical-educational care plan called Preschool and Me (PreM) to connect clinical settings serving historically marginalized communities with early childhood special education (ECSE) services.

Method: Parents of PCw/DD attending an urban pediatric clinic from January to March 2022 were enrolled to receive PreM which included navigation support for ECSE, overcoming barriers accessing ECSE, and health care provider communication.

Pelvic floor function after third and fourth degree perineal lacerations: a case-control study on quality of life.

Background: The primary aim of this study was to compare the quality of life between women with obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI) and women with intact perineum or minor vaginal tears following their first vaginal birth through a validated urogynaecological questionnaire. As a secondary aim, we wanted to identify the specific symptoms for pelvic floor dysfunction after a vaginal birth.

Methods: One hundred thirty-three cases (III- and IV-degree vaginal tears) and 133 controls (intact perineum or I- and II-degree vaginal tear) were asked to fill the PFDI-20 condition-specific and quality of life survey at three and 12 months after vaginal delivery.

Use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in pregnancy and oligohydramnios: a review.

Objective: The aim of this review is to evaluate the relationship between the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) during last trimesters of the pregnancy and the reduction of amniotic fluid.

Methods: Electronic databases were searched (PubMed, Medline, and Scopus). Selection criteria included studies reporting the relationship between oligohydramnios and use of NSAID during pregnancy.

Creating Connections: A Feasibility Study of a Technology-Based Intervention to Support Mothers of Newborns during Pediatric Well-Visits.

Objective: Intervention in the earliest period of parenthood can make a strong, positive impact on parenting, yet engaging parents of newborns in parenting interventions can be difficult. Technological adaptation of important interventions can improve early engagement. This study reports the initial feasibility of the Creating Connections intervention, a technology-based intervention developed to support mothers of newborns, and feasibility of evaluating the intervention through a randomized clinical trial in pediatric primary care.

Pregnancy and post-partum outcomes of obese women after bariatric surgery: A case-control study.

Introduction: Bariatric surgery (BS) is known to reduce several obesity-related complications during pregnancy, but there is concern that it may increase the risk of maternal-fetal morbidity because of the malabsorption. This study aimed to investigate the impact of restrictive BS on several pregnancy outcomes in comparison with different grades of obesity.

Materials And Methods: A single-center retrospective case-control study.
