Objective: Our objective was to evaluate whether using a standardized shoulder dystocia delivery form improved documentation. A standardized delivery form was added to our institution's obstetrical record in August 2003.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted comparing 100 vaginal deliveries complicated by shoulder dystocia before, and 81 after implementation of the standardized delivery form. The two groups were compared in terms of obstetric characteristics, neonatal outcomes and documentation components.
Results: Charts that included the standardized delivery form were more likely to contain documentation of estimated fetal weight (82.7% vs. 39.0% without the form, P<0.001) and head-to-shoulder delivery interval (76.5% vs. 15.0% without the form, P<0.001). Both groups were statistically similar in terms of documenting estimated blood loss and fetal weight, umbilical cord pH, type and order of maneuvers utilized to relieve the shoulder dystocia, and second stage duration.
Conclusions: Inclusion of a standardized form in the delivery record improves the rate of documentation of both shoulder dystocia-specific and general delivery components.

SOCS domain targets ECM assembly in lung fibroblasts and experimental lung fibrosis.

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ, USA.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal disease defined by a progressive decline in lung function due to scarring and accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. The SOCS (Suppressor Of Cytokine Signaling) domain is a 40 amino acid conserved domain known to form a functional ubiquitin ligase complex targeting the Von Hippel Lindau (VHL) protein for proteasomal degradation. Here we show that the SOCS conserved domain operates as a molecular tool, to disrupt collagen and fibronectin fibrils in the ECM associated with fibrotic lung myofibroblasts.

Objective This study aimed to investigate whether the amount of blood loss during delivery in patients with low-lying placenta is affected by the planned mode of delivery, internal os distance, and warning bleeding. Materials and methods We conducted a single-center retrospective study encompassing women with singleton pregnancies diagnosed with low-lying placenta between January 2012 and December 2021. Data for maternal demographic details and pregnancy outcomes were extracted from the institution's records.

Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptors mediate pathogen effector-triggered immunity (ETI) in plants, and a subclass of NLRs are hypothesized to function at the plasma membrane (PM). However, how NLR traffic and PM delivery are regulated during immune responses remains largely unknown. The rice NLR PigmR confers broad-spectrum resistance to the blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae.
