Lived experience of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy: a systematic review and meta-synthesis.

Background: Hypertensive disorders are major causes of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality, affecting ∼10% pregnancies worldwide.

Objective: Understanding the lived experience of women with hypertensive disorders during pregnancy is important to inform best practice and provide holistic care.

Study Design: This is a systematic review and meta-synthesis of studies containing qualitative components relating to direct lived experience of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

Implementation of an Enhanced Prenatal Checklist to Increase Rates of Counseling of Prenatal Fetal Aneuploidy Testing.

Aim This study aims to assess the effect of implementing an enhanced prenatal genetic checklist to guide the provider's discussion on both screening and diagnostic options for fetal aneuploidy testing at the initial prenatal visit. Methods A retrospective quality improvement (QI) project was performed at a single, large, urban academic medical center. The implementation of this project was prospective; however, data was examined retrospectively after the QI initiative was implemented for three months.

Spontaneous uterine rupture complicated by bilateral pulmonary emboli: A case report.

Spontaneous uterine rupture in unscarred uteri complicated by pulmonary emboli is a rare event with major maternal morbidity and mortality. This is a case of a 32-year-old woman, G1P0, at term, with no pertinent past medical/surgical history, who underwent an emergency cesarean delivery for failed induction of labor complicated by uterine rupture. Post-operatively, the patient was tachycardic and hypoxic.

Examining provider practice-level disparities in delivery outcomes among patients with a history of Cesarean Delivery.

Background: Choosing whether to pursue a trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) or scheduled repeat cesarean delivery (SRCD) requires prenatal assessment of risks and benefits. Providers and patients play a central role in this process. However, the influence of provider-associated characteristics on delivery methods remains unclear.

What faces reveal: Hugh Diamond's photographic representations of mental illness.

Hugh Diamond was a psychiatrist, antiquarian, and photographer, who was the first person to take photographs of female asylum patients. These photographs, using the newly invented technology of the camera, were intended to be objective and accurate visual indicators of mental illness. Considering Diamond's overlapping interests, his project must be understood within the larger cultural and historical context and the tensions inherent in medical photography and portraiture.

Treatment of Serious Mental Illness in Medical and Mental Health Settings.

Objective: This study investigated service use by individuals with serious and nonserious mental illness receiving mental health care in medical and mental health settings.

Methods: Claims data from the New York State Medicaid Data Warehouse were examined for 8,988 patients who received at least one mental health service at an urban academic medical center during 2017 at a mental health setting, a medical setting, or both.

Results: Most patients (59%) received all of their mental health care in medical settings and from unaffiliated providers, including a large portion (16%) with serious mental illness.

A framework to conceptualize personal recovery from eating disorders: A systematic review and qualitative meta-synthesis of perspectives from individuals with lived experience.

Background: An extensive literature exists describing treatment interventions and recovery from eating disorders (EDs); however, this body of knowledge is largely symptom-based and from a clinical perspective and thus limited in capturing perspectives and values of individuals with lived experience of an ED. In this study, we performed a systematic review to coproduce a conceptual framework for personal recovery from an ED based on primary qualitative data available in published literature.

Methods: A systematic review and qualitative meta-synthesis approach was used.
