Anxiety disorders are the most common postpartum psychiatric conditions, yet limited research exists on the prevention of postpartum anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Postpartum anxiety leads to significant problems in both mother and child, such as maternal depression, difficulty breastfeeding, interference with parent-infant bonding, and childhood anxiety. In the current study, we tested the feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of an Internet-delivered postpartum anxiety and OCD prevention program, "Preventing Postpartum Onset Distress" (P-POD), in a sample of 15 pregnant women in their third trimester.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess if radiographs can help classify thumbs as Blauth IIIA or IIIB based on their morphological features.
  • Six pediatric hand surgeons evaluated 77 thumb radiographs, achieving an 82% consensus in classification and a 77% agreement with the original enrolling surgeon's classification.
  • Key findings indicate that IIIA thumbs are characterized by near-normal dimensions, while IIIB thumbs display abnormally short and tapered shapes; specific length and width ratios further distinguish the two classifications.

Purpose: This study seeks to investigate demographics of patients with Madelung deformity in a large, geographically diverse sample and understand patient and caregiver perceptions of the impact of this condition. We hypothesized that patients with untreated Madelung deformity have greater pain and lower function compared to the normal population but are less affected than the chosen control group, namely, patients with proximal radioulnar synostosis (PRUS).

Methods: This retrospective study queried the Congenital Upper Limb Differences (CoULD) Registry, a multicenter registry of patients treated in tertiary care pediatric hospitals.
