Article Synopsis
- Syphilis and congenital syphilis (CS) cases have been increasing in the U.S. and worldwide since the 2000s, with a notable rise during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- A study reviewed 61 pregnant women with syphilis from 2016 to 2022 at an urban hospital, revealing significant increases in maternal syphilis and CS rates, especially during the pandemic.
- Findings highlighted that only a portion of mothers received adequate prenatal care and treatment, with CS linked to social factors like homelessness and opioid use, indicating a need for improved access to care.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effects of a new nutrition guideline aimed at preventing unhealthy body mass index (BMI) in premature infants with gestational ages of 32 weeks or less.
- It found that increasing feeding volumes resulted in fewer instances of growth failure (weight below the 10th percentile) and reduced occurrences of disproportionately low BMI among infants.
- While the guideline showed promise in preventing growth issues, it had a limited impact on the proportion of infants classified as disproportionately large at discharge.
