The evaluation and appropriate management of the critically ill neonate requires knowledge of the physiologic changes and life-threatening pathologies that may present during this time period. A broad systematic approach to evaluating the neonate is necessary to provide a comprehensive yet specific differential diagnosis for a presenting complaint or symptom. Efficient recognition and prompt management of illness in the neonatal period may be life saving. Recently, it has become more important for the emergency department physician to be familiar with the neonate because of early discharge policies. This review provides a systematic approach to the recognition, emergency stabilization, and management of the more common newborn emergencies.

Purpose: To develop and evaluate the effectiveness of an asynchronously delivered app, InBloom, for postpartum depression (PPD) prevention relative to an evidence-based synchronously delivered in-person intervention, ROSE (Reach Out, Stay Strong, Essentials for mothers of newborns) for depression and return on investment via a prospective randomized controlled trial and quasi-experimental cohort analyses.
Background: PPD affects 1 in 7 gestational parents in the US, causing emotional distress, consequences for infant development and child adjustment, disruptions in family relationships, and financial burden. ROSE is an evidence-based intervention administered as four in-person group sessions plus one postpartum booster session.
Introduction: Quality midwifery education is central to improving midwifery service delivery and maternal and newborn health outcomes. In many settings, midwifery educators insufficiently prepared for their teaching role and deficient curriculum compared to international standards affect the quality of healthcare provided by the midwifery graduates. This study assessed the effectiveness of an EmONC enhanced midwifery curriculum delivered by trained and mentored midwifery educators on the quality of education and student performance in Kenya.

Red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunization can occur because of exposure to various sensitizing factors and poses a constant threat in transfusion. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) involves manipulation of sperm, ova, or embryos with the goal of producing a pregnancy. We present an interesting case of ART-induced maternal alloimmunization (AIMA) due to anti-c in a woman carrying a twin pregnancy.
