Some research you may find useful...Those marked L need payment or librarian intervention. Those marked OA are open access. One new Cochrane review: Maternal postures for fetal malposition in labour for improving the health of mothers and their infants. This is one of two new reviews replacing a review from 2007. The other is on maternal postures for fetal malposition in late pregnancy, but I can see no published review or protocol at the moment.

Tick Tock (or TikTok) for US Health Care
BY KIM BELLARD
Yes, I know Congress just passed the Inflation Reduction Act, a big step forward in combating climate change that also has some important healthcare provisions (Medicare negotiating drug prices, anyone?), but, come on, TikTok is buying hospitals! I can’t pass that up.
To be more accurate, TikTok’s parent company ByteDance is actually buying hospitals, through two of its health subsidiaries. As first reported by South China Morning Post, and subsequently confirmed as a $1.5b deal by Bloomberg, ByteDance bought Beijing-based Amcare Healthcare, which runs eight women’s and children’s hospitals...

Each week I’ve been adding a brief tidbits section to the THCB Reader, our weekly newsletter that summarizes the best of THCB that week (Sign up here!). Then I had the brainwave to add them to the blog. They’re short and usually not too sweet! –Matthew Holt
In this edition’s tidbits, I have to return to the stunning impact of the Dobbs ruling. We know will happen because it is already happening in Texas where the 6 week law was already being enforced in contravention of Roe v Wade.
Taxpayer money is going to “pregnancy crisis centers” that flat out lie to vulnerable patients about the impact o...

At the start of my medical school ’s clinical rotations, I was prepared with new scrubs, minute facts about diabetes and kidney disease, and a stethoscope that I struggled to hear murmurs with. What I was less prepared for was the emotional toll that seeing patients would exact.
