The single stillbirth long-term intrauterine retention in dichorionic twin pregnancy is rarely reported. Also, the birth of a fetus is followed in most cases by immediate expulsion of the second twin. We hereby present an unusual case of asynchronous delivery of dichorionic twins, associating discordance for major and minor anomaly. The intrauterine death of the twin A, presenting a large sacrococcygeal tumor, occurred in the second trimester. The deceased twin A was born at 29 weeks' gestational age (GA). The twin B was extracted by Caesarean section at 31 weeks and had a good outcome. We performed a close follow-up of the high-risk pregnancy and we used tocolytic and antibiotic drugs for prolonging it. Corticoid therapy was administered for the lung maturation of the second twin. The expectant management in the single twin stillbirth dichorionic pregnancy and the asynchronous delivery had a significant impact on the newborn outcome.

Comparing Synchronous and Asynchronous Remotely Delivered Lifestyle Interventions: Protocol for a Randomized Noninferiority Trial.

Background: Remotely delivered lifestyle interventions have emerged to increase the reach and accessibility of traditional interventions that involve numerous in-person visits. Remote interventions can be delivered synchronously via videoconference software or phone or asynchronously via online platforms. Asynchronously delivered interventions are convenient and flexible in that they allow people to participate at any time and as such, they may be more sustainable.

Objectives: To evaluate the experiences of patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) and their healthcare providers (HCPs) with patient-initiated follow-up (PIFU) supported by asynchronous telemedicine (TM) compared with their previous experiences with usual care, and to identify prerequisites for sustainable implementation of PIFU/TM.
Methods: Individual, semi-structured interviews were conducted with purposefully selected patients (n = 21) and HCPs (n = 9) who previously participated in the 'TeleSpA' randomised controlled trial and thematically analysed. PIFU/TM consisted of a once-yearly pre-planned physical visit with in-between remote monitoring at 6 months.
Telerehabilitation with a Patient Diagnosed with Acromegaly and Bilateral Total Loss of Vision Secondary to Pituitary Macroadenoma: A Case Report.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused unprecedented disruptions in the lives of people, inducing a change in social behavior because of quarantine and physical distancing measures for health safety. It greatly affected not only the general population but also the healthcare system, forcing healthcare providers and consumers to adjust from the traditional mode of in-person consultation to telemedicine to enable safe and prompt delivery of adequate and efficient patient care. A 35-year-old female was diagnosed with acromegaly secondary to pituitary macroadenoma, presenting as a 10-year history of weight gain, amenorrhea, hand and feet enlargement, coarse facial features, and bilateral vision loss.

Objectives: Little is known about the efficacy of remotely delivered outcome measures (psychological/health-related assessments) in a signed language for Deaf people. The objective is to explore the equivalence of two modes of remote delivery of health-related quality of life outcome measures in British Sign Language (BSL): asynchronous online assessment versus synchronous live face-to-face online assessment in sign language.
Methods: Thirty-one participants were recruited through Deaf networks and sign language media.

The American: Academy of Pediatrics advocates for a preventive approach to children's mental health (MH) care and pediatric primary care providers (PCPs) are in a unique position to promote the emotional health of their patients, integrate systems for screening and assessment of MH conditions and provide MH intervention and ongoing clinical follow-up. Integration of a behavioral health service into pediatric primary care has the potential to increase the clinical confidence and MH competency of PCPs and improve patient health outcomes through increased access to and delivery of quality MH care in the primary care setting.
Method: This article describes the step-by-step process of developing and implementing a custom integrated behavioral health (IBH) program into two different academic pediatric primary care clinics located in New York, NY and Chicago, IL.
