Virtual prenatal visits associated with high measures of patient experience and satisfaction among average-risk patients: a prospective cohort study.

Background: Virtual visits have the potential to decrease barriers to prenatal care stemming from transportation, work, and childcare concerns. However, data regarding patient experience and satisfaction with virtual visits remain limited in obstetrics. To address this gap, we explore average-risk pregnant women's experiences with virtual visits and compare satisfaction with virtual vs.

Literary arts and the development of the life story.

Throughout adolescence, children begin to develop their life story: a coherent account of their experiences and selfhood. Although the nature of this development is still being uncovered, one promising direction for research is the examination of factors that could encourage life story development. Here the authors explore the idea that exposure to the literary arts (i.

Premature graduates of the newborn intensive care unit: a guide to followup.

Approximately 40,000 infants weighing less than 1500 grams are born in the United States each year. Caring for these infants after their discharge from the newborn intensive care unit is complex and difficult. The survival, growth, routine health care maintenance, neurologic and developmental outcome and assessment, and long-term medical complications are reviewed.

THE REGENERATION OF VISUAL PURPLE IN THE LIVING ANIMAL.

1. The accumulation of visual purple in the retina after bleaching by light has been studied in the intact eye of the frog. The data show that duration and intensity of light adaptation, which influence the course of human dark adaptation as measured in terms of visual threshold, have a similar influence on the course of visual purple regeneration.

INTENSITY DISCRIMINATION IN THE HUMAN EYE : II. THE RELATION BETWEENDeltaI/IAND INTENSITY FOR DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE SPECTRUM.

1. A new apparatus is described for measuring visual intensity discrimination over a large range of intensities, with white light and with selected portions of the spectrum. With it measurements were made of the intensity DeltaI which is just perceptible when it is added for a short time to a portion of a field of intensity I to which the eye has been adapted.
