Australia's caesarean section (CS) rate has been steadily increasing for decades. In response to this, we co-designed an evidence-based, multi-pronged strategy to increase the normal birth rate in Queensland and reduce the need for CS. We conducted three workshops with a multi-stakeholder group to identify a broad range of options to reduce CS, prioritise these options, and achieve consensus on a final strategy. The strategy comprised of: universal access to midwifery continuity-of-care and choice of place of birth; multi-disciplinary normal birth education; resources to facilitate informed decision-making; respectful maternity care and positive workplace culture; and establishment of a Normal Birth Collaborative.

Hip Joint Articulotrochanteric Distance Measurements in Children: Articulotrochanteric Distance in Children Aged 5 to 14 Years Does Not Increase With Age.
J Pediatr Orthop

Background: The articulotrochanteric distance (ATD) has universally been utilized to assess greater trochanter overgrowth in pediatric orthopaedic diseases. However, its overgrowth cannot be detected in a timely manner due to the absence of a normal ATD value. This study is to determine the ATD normal value in hip radiographs of children under the age of 14 and to establish the threshold for overgrowth of the greater trochanter.

Sulfasalazine is a non-specific immunomodulator with haemolytic anaemia as a known side effect that crosses the placenta. We present a preterm neonate with cardiac arrhythmia secondary to hyperkalaemia in the setting of maternal sulfasalazine therapy. A preterm infant was born to a mother taking hydroxychloroquine, sulfasalazine, aspirin and enoxaparin throughout pregnancy.

Accurately predicting the calving time in cattle is essential for optimizing livestock management and ensuring animal welfare. Our research focuses on developing a robust system for calving cattle classification and calving time prediction, utilizing 12-h trajectory data for 20 cattle. Our system classifies cattle as abnormal (requiring human assistance) or normal (not requiring assistance) and predicts calving times based on their individual behaviors.

Background: Prematurity is linked to diverse and significant health outcomes, but a comprehensive understanding of its long-term multisystem impacts remains limited.
Methods: Retrospective longitudinal cohort study on 417 preterm children born between 2000 and 2015 explores the incidence, dynamics, and interrelationships of health conditions from infancy to adolescence. Data on 1818 diagnoses, categorised by birth weight (BW) and gestational age (GA) and documented according to ICD-10, were analysed using non-parametric tests and negative binomial regression models.

Background: Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS), one of the main causes of neonatal death, is clinically characterized by progressive dyspnea and cyanosis 1 to 2 h after birth. Corticosteroids are commonly used to prevent NRDS in clinical. However, the protective mechanism of the corticosteroids remains largely unclear.
