Prenatal Care: An Evidence-Based Approach
Am Fam Physician. 2023 Aug;108(2):139-150.ABSTRACTWell-coordinated prenatal care that follows an evidence-based, informed process results in fewer hospital admissions, improved education, greater satisfaction, and lower pregnancy-associated morbidity and mortality. Care initiated at 10 weeks or earlier improves outcomes. Identification and treatment of periodontal disease decreases preterm delivery risk. A prepregnancy body mass index greater than 25 kg per m2 is associated with gestational diabetes mellitus, hypertension, miscarriage, and stillbirth. Advanced maternal and paternal age (35 years or older) is associated wit...

Whole Blood Administration for Obstetric-Related Hemorrhage During Prehospital Transport
CONCLUSION: Whole blood can be successfully administered both in and out of the hospital setting, even for obstetric hemorrhage. The benefits of easily administered balanced resuscitation, limited donor exposure, and improved patient outcomes likely outweigh potential alloimmunization, especially in resource-limited settings. Addressing concerns of alloimmunization cannot be accomplished without more research, and we encourage others to investigate using whole blood in this population.PMID:37562035 | DOI:10.1097/AOG.0000000000005320 (Source: Obstetrics and Gynecology)

News at a glance: Long Covid trials, fossil controversy, and an ancient necklace restored
PALEONTOLOGY
Call for fossil’s return to Brazil
Paleontologists from Brazil and Europe have published an
open letter
asking the German state of Baden-Württemberg to return a fossil of the dinosaur
Irritator challengeri
(illustration above) to Brazil. The remnant of the spinosaurid’s skull was discovered in Brazil and purchased from a fossil digger by the State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart in 1991; researchers used it to describe the species in a 1996 paper. But the authors of the open letter question the legality of the export to Germany, pointing to a 1942 Brazilian...
