A Look Back at Bioethics: William L. Meadow, 1948 –2019
William L. Meadow, MD, PhD, died at the age of 70 years on Saturday, September 14, 2019. Meadow was a consummate neonatologist, a devoted teacher, a great soccer coach, an accomplished a cappella singer, and an iconoclastic bioethicist. He pioneered the use of empirical research on neonatal outcomes and prognostication to ground the ethical analysis of decisions to withhold life-sustaining treatment from critically ill neonates.

Cardiovascular Disease in Pregnancy
Cardiovascular disease remains a major contributor to rising maternal morbidity and mortality. Both the pregnant woman and fetus are exposed to many potential complications as a result of the physiologic changes of pregnancy. These changes can exacerbate existing cardiac disease, as well as lead to the development of de novo issues during gestation, delivery, and the postnatal period. For women with preexisting cardiac disease, including congenital malformations, valvular disease, coronary artery disease, and aortopathies, it is crucial that they receive multidisciplinary evaluation, counseling, and optimization before con...

Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy
Preeclampsia is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy that is a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The condition presents heterogeneously at varying gestational ages. Primary prevention for preeclampsia with low-dose aspirin is recommended for patients with clinical risk factors. Despite extensive research, there is no clearly defined pathophysiology for preeclampsia or treatment for preeclampsia besides delivery of the placenta. Delivery of patients with preeclampsia without severe features is indicated in the early term period at 37 weeks ’ gestation and sooner if the patient develops sever...

Placenta Accreta Spectrum
Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) refers to the range of pathologic adherence of the placenta to the uterine myometrium, including the placenta accreta, increta, and percreta. The incidence of PAS is rising primarily because of an increase in related risk factors, such as the rate of cesarean deliveries and pregnancies resulting from assisted reproductive technology. The maternal risks associated with PAS are significant, including hemorrhage, hysterectomy, and death. Fetal and neonatal risks are primarily the result of premature delivery. Antenatal diagnosis via ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging remains imperfe...

Multifetal Gestations and Associated Perinatal Risks
Along with the rise of assisted reproductive technology, multifetal gestations increased dramatically. Twin pregnancies account for 97% of multifetal pregnancies and 3% of all births in the United States. Twins and higher-order multiples carry increased risks of obstetric, perinatal, and maternal complications; these risks increase with increasing fetal number. Neonatal morbidity and mortality in multifetal gestations is driven primarily by prematurity. Both spontaneous and indicated preterm births are increased in multifetal gestations, and only a limited number of strategies are available to mitigate this risk. No single...

An Abnormal Echocardiogram and Telemetry Tracing in a Late Preterm Infant
A neonate is admitted to the NICU for a late preterm birth at 34 6/7 weeks ’ gestation. The pregnancy was complicated by premature rupture of membranes and maternal intrapartum fever. The neonate’s initial course is unremarkable except for a requirement of supplemental oxygen by nasal cannula to maintain oxygen saturation above 94% and nasogastric feedings. On the 10th postnatal day, the neonate is noted to have episodic desaturations, with oxygen saturations decreasing to the low 80s. Physical examination findings are notable for a new grade 2/6 soft systolic heart murmur heard best at the apex. Clips of the infant â€...
