Effect of Social Vulnerability Index on Betamethasone Timing in Patients at Risk of Preterm Birth.

Several social vulnerability index (SVI) components have been associated with adverse obstetrical outcomes and provider bias. The objective of this study is to assess whether betamethasone administration timing among patients at risk for preterm birth differs by social vulnerability index. A multicenter retrospective cohort study of pregnant people at a large academic healthcare system between January 2019 and January 2023.

Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of the Reaction of CH with Formaldehyde (CHO) at Very Low Temperatures and Application to Astrochemical Models.

Rate coefficients for the reaction of CH with CHO were measured for the first time over the temperature range of 37-603 K, with the CH radicals produced by pulsed laser photolysis and detected by CH radical chemiluminescence following their reaction with O. The low temperature measurements (≤93 K) relevant to the interstellar medium were made within a Laval nozzle gas expansion, while higher temperature measurements (≥308 K) were made within a temperature controlled reaction cell. The rate coefficients display a negative temperature dependence below 300 K, reaching (1.

Vacuum-induced management of hemorrhage using intrauterine foley catheter: A report of two cases.

Hemorrhage is a common postpartum complication which can also occur during abortion. Most cases can be managed with uterine evacuation and uterotonics, but some require additional procedures. We present cases of hemorrhage following dilation and evacuation, and delayed postpartum hemorrhage, where a Foley catheter was used for vacuum-induced hemorrhage control.

Incidence and awareness of dysphoric milk ejection reflex (DMER).

Objectives: To determine Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex (DMER) incidence. Secondary objectives were to describe the symptom profiles and patient characteristics of DMER and assess DMER familiarity.

Methods: A prospective observational study of people who initiated breastfeeding after delivery between December 2022 and May 2023 at two hospitals in New York.
