Safety considerations for dietary supplement manufacturers in the United States.

Due to significant dietary supplement use in the US, product manufacturers must understand the importance of implementing a robust approach to establishing safety for all ingredients, including dietary ingredients, components, and finished dietary supplement products. Different regulatory pathways exist by which the safety of dietary ingredients can be established, and thus allowed to be marketed in a dietary supplement. For individual dietary ingredients, safety information may come from a variety of sources including history of safe use, presence of the ingredient in foods, and/or non-clinical and clinical data.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on antenatal care provision and associated mental health, obstetric and neonatal outcomes.

Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic imposed many challenges on pregnant women, including rapid changes to antenatal care aimed at reducing the societal spread of the virus. This study aimed to assess how the pandemic affected perinatal mental health and other pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in a tertiary unit in Queensland, Australia.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of pregnant women booked for care between March 2019 - June 2019 and March 2020 - June 2020.

Aural microsuction: an analysis of post-procedure patient safety incidents.

Background: Aural microsuction can be associated with delayed syncopal and vertiginous events, which can lead to serious adverse patient safety incidents.

Objective: This article highlights the serious risks associated with microsuction.

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective review of the hospital risk database over a 2-year period.

"Echoes of a dark past" is a history of maternal childhood maltreatment a perinatal risk factor for pregnancy and postpartum trauma experiences? A longitudinal study.

Background: Although associations between maternal exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and perinatal anxiety and depression are established, there is a paucity of information about the associations between ACEs and perinatal trauma and perinatal post-traumatic stress outcomes. For the purposes of this article, perinatal trauma is defined as a very frightening or distressing event that may result in psychological harm. The event must have been related to conception, pregnancy, birth, and up to 12 months postpartum.

Lifetime prevalence and correlates of perinatal depression in a case-cohort study of depression.

Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the prevalence, timing of onset and duration of symptoms of depression in the perinatal period (PND) in women with depression, according to whether they had a history of depression prior to their first perinatal period. We further sought to identify biopsychosocial correlates of perinatal symptoms in women with depression.

Design And Setting: The Australian Genetics of Depression Study is an online case cohort study of the aetiology of depression.
