Peripartum Considerations for the Transgender Parturient: A Case Report.

Despite efforts by medical and social activists, transgender parturients encounter barriers to adequate and gender-inclusive health care, resources, and support. We present a case of a 38-year-old transgender man presenting for induction of labor at term.

Severe perineal lacerations after vaginal delivery: are they an anesthesiologist's problem?

Purpose Of Review: Perineal tears or lacerations are common occurrences after vaginal delivery. Understanding the degree of severity of these tears and the immediate and long-term complications of severe perineal lacerations can assist anesthesiologists with the management of these patients in the immediate postpartum period.

Recent Findings: Severe perineal lacerations have a high degree of association with postpartum depression.

Maternal sedation during scheduled versus unscheduled cesarean delivery: implications for skin-to-skin contact.

Background: Early maternal skin-to-skin contact confers numerous benefits to the newborn, but maternal sedation during cesarean delivery could have safety implications for early skin-to-skin contact in the operating room. We compared patient-reported and observer-assessed levels of sedation during unscheduled and scheduled cesarean deliveries.

Methods: Laboring women undergoing unscheduled cesarean delivery with epidural anesthesia, and scheduled cesarean delivery with spinal anesthesia were enrolled.

The effects of face expertise training on the behavioral performance and brain activity of adults with high functioning autism spectrum disorders.

The effect of expertise training with faces was studied in adults with ASD who showed initial impairment in face recognition. Participants were randomly assigned to a computerized training program involving either faces or houses. Pre- and post-testing included standardized and experimental measures of behavior and event-related brain potentials (ERPs), as well as interviews after training.
