AI Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to enhance the discussion of infant safe sleep practices between obstetrical providers and pregnant women by utilizing the Safe Sleep Toolkit during prenatal visits.
- - Training for obstetric providers led to a notable increase in discussions about safe sleep, with reported rates climbing from 32% to 78% among women post-intervention.
- - As a result of the intervention, there was a significant improvement in pregnant women’s knowledge about safe and unsafe sleep practices for infants.
Article Abstract
Objectives: To partner with obstetrical providers to increase promotion of the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines for infant safe sleep. Specifically, this study evaluates the effectiveness of the Safe Sleep Toolkit during obstetrical visits. Secondary objectives include improving provider and maternal knowledge of safe sleep.
Methods: Obstetrical providers (n=11) and staff at an outpatient clinic were trained using the Safe Sleep Toolkit and encouraged to discuss infant safe sleep with pregnant women at their 28- or 36-week gestation appointment (n=111, 56 pre- and 55 post-intervention). Provider-reported time spent counseling women on safe sleep recommendations and safe sleep knowledge was measured before and after the intervention. Surveys were conducted with women assessing safe sleep knowledge, intention to follow guidelines, and whether safe sleep was discussed at the appointment.
Results: Significantly more post-intervention women reported their provider had discussed safe sleep (78% vs 32%) (P<.001). Similarly, provider-reported discussion with women increased significantly for all safe sleep guidelines (82%-90% vs 8%-12%) (all P<.001). Maternal knowledge, especially surrounding unsafe sleep practices, improved significantly post-intervention.
Conclusion: Training obstetricians to use a toolkit to promote infant safe sleep guidelines increases the prenatal delivery of this information, and improves pregnant women's knowledge and intentions regarding safe infant sleep.

Background: Pregnancy-related anatomic, physiologic, and hormonal factors can occur at different stages of pregnancy and affect sleep disturbances. The relationship between sleep problems during pregnancy and postpartum depressive symptoms as well as neonatal condition at delivery have not been well described. This study hypothesized that sleep problems are associated with postpartum depressive symptoms and adverse neonatal outcomes at delivery.

Lysosomal storage disorders characterized by defective heparan sulfate (HS) degradation, such as Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA-D (MPS-IIIA-D), result in neurodegeneration and dementia in children. However, dementia is preceded by severe autistic-like behaviours (ALBs), presenting as hyperactivity, stereotypies, social interaction deficits, and sleep disturbances. The absence of experimental studies on ALBs' mechanisms in MPS-III has led clinicians to adopt symptomatic treatments, such as antipsychotics, which are used for non-genetic neuropsychiatric disorders.

Patients on chronic anticoagulation undergoing metabolic surgery represent an increased risk of complications, including both bleeding and thrombotic events, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). The optimal perioperative management of patients who are receiving chronic anticoagulation therapy (CAT) is complex. In the colorectal surgery literature, patients on CAT have a 10% rate of peri-procedural bleeding and a 3% rate of thromboembolism.

: Migraine is a common neurological condition that significantly impacts quality of life, especially in women during their reproductive years. Pregnancy poses unique challenges for migraine management due to hormonal changes and the limited use of pharmacological treatments. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as physiotherapy, exercise, and relaxation techniques, offer promising alternatives for managing migraines during this critical period.
