Objective: The aim of this study is to identify and explore the unmet needs of adolescents and young adults living with endometriosis.

Design: An open-ended online survey was conducted, with questions derived from prior research looking at areas of unmet need in healthcare, career and work, financial, information, psychological, social and cultural domains.

Setting And Population: Self-selecting 18-25 year olds with surgically diagnosed endometriosis (self-reported) currently living in Australia were included as participants.

Clinical research on neonatal resuscitation has accelerated over recent decades. However, an important methodologic limitation is that there are no standardized definitions or reporting guidelines for neonatal resuscitation clinical studies. To address this, the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation Neonatal Life Support Task Force established a working group to develop the first Utstein-style reporting guideline for neonatal resuscitation.

Objective: To characterize respiratory function monitor (RFM) measurements of sustained inflations and intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) delivered noninvasively to infants in the Sustained Aeration of Infant Lungs (SAIL) trial and to compare vital sign measurements between treatment arms.

Study Design: We analyzed RFM data from SAIL participants at 5 trial sites. We assessed tidal volumes, rates of airway obstruction, and mask leak among infants allocated to sustained inflations and IPPV, and we compared pulse rate and oxygen saturation measurements between treatment groups.

Umbilical Cord Management for Newborns <34 Weeks' Gestation: A Meta-analysis.

Pediatrics

March 2021

Department of Pediatrics, The Robert Larner College of Medicine, The University of Vermont, Burlington, Vermont; and.

Article Synopsis
  • The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation reviewed umbilical cord management in preterm infants (<34 weeks) to find the best strategies for cord clamping and milking.
  • A total of 42 randomized controlled trials involving 5772 infants were examined, showing that delayed cord clamping (DCC) and intact-cord milking (ICM) might slightly improve survival rates but also have uncertain effects on other health outcomes.
  • While DCC offers potential benefits for preterm infants, and ICM requires more research to assess its risks and advantages, the optimal approach for cord management in these cases remains unclear, with early clamping potentially being detrimental.

Background: Previous research shows counselling delivered by trained family doctors reduces depression for women experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). However, the potential for self-efficacy, doctor support and safety enquiry to mediate these effects has not been examined.

Objectives: To assess whether (i) women experiencing IPV and counselled by a trained family doctor report greater self-efficacy, perceived doctor support and enquiry about safety than those receiving usual care and (ii) whether self-efficacy, doctor support and enquiry mediate effects of counselling on depression for these women.

Unlabelled: : media-1vid110.1542/5839981895001PEDS-VA_2018-1828 CONTEXT: The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation prioritized to review the initial fraction of inspired oxygen (Fio) during the resuscitation of preterm newborns.

Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis provides the scientific summary of initial Fio in preterm newborns (<35 weeks' gestation) who receive respiratory support at birth.

Idiopathic fetal growth restriction (FGR) is frequently associated with placental insufficiency. Previous reports have provided evidence that endocrine gland-derived vascular endothelial growth factor (EG-VEGF), a placental secreted protein, is expressed during the first trimester of pregnancy, controls both trophoblast proliferation and invasion, and its increased expression is associated with human FGR. In this study, we hypothesize that EG-VEGF-dependent changes in placental homeobox gene expressions contribute to trophoblast dysfunction in idiopathic FGR.
