The causes of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) are multifactorial with both intrinsic and extrinsic influences. While many studies focus on the intrinsic pathological causes, the possible long-term consequences resulting from extrinsic intrauterine physiological constraints merit additional consideration and further investigation. Infants with IUGR can exhibit early symmetric or late asymmetric growth abnormality patterns depending on the fetal stage of development, of which the latter is most common occurring in 70–80% of growth-restricted infants. Deformation is the consequence of extrinsic biomechanical factors interfering with normal growth, functioning, or positioning of the fetus in utero, typically arising during late gestation.

    SUBGALEAL HEMATOMA Sarah Meyers MS4 Ilse Castro-Aragon MD CASE HISTORY Ex-FT (37w6d) male infant born by low transverse C-section for arrest of descent and chorioamnionitis to a 34-year-old G2P1 mother. The infant had 1- and 5-minute APGAR scores of 9 and 9, weighed 3.625 kg (54th %ile), and had a head circumference of 34.5 cm (30th %ile). Following a challenging delivery of the head during C/s, the infant was noted to have left-sided parietal and occipital bogginess, and an ultrasound was ordered due to concern for subgaleal hematoma. PEDIATRIC HEAD ULTRASOUND: SUBGALEAL HEMATOMA Superficial pediatric head ultrasound showing moderately echogenic fluid collection (green arrow), superficial to the periosteum (blue arrow), crossing the sagittal suture (red arrow). Findings on U/S consistent with large parieto-occipital subgaleal hematoma. PEDIATRIC HEAD ULTRASOUND: SUBGALEAL HEMATOMA Superficial pediatric head ultrasound showing moderately echogenic fluid collection (green arrow), consistent with large parieto-occipital subgaleal hematoma. CLINICAL FOLLOW UP - Subgaleal hematoma was confirmed on ultrasound and the infant was transferred from the newborn nursery to the NICU for close monitoring, including hourly head circumferences and repeat hematocrit measurements - Serial head circumferences remained stable around 34 cm and hematocrit remained stable between 39 and 41 throughout hospital course - The infant was subsequently treated with phototherapy for hyperbilirubinemia, thought to be secondary to resorption of the SGH IN A NUTSHELL:

Methods: This study was a controlled semi-experimental clinical trial. Samples included 70 selected women referring to selected hospitals in Tehran. The subjects were divided into control and study group. Study group received Lamaze technique included a training program for the study group containing 6 sessions. In each session, various subjects based on educational program were taught. Subjects were followed from 24-26 weeks of pregnancy to 24 hours after delivery. A checklist and a questionnaire were used for collecting the data. Data was analyzed by SPSS software. Results: The findings showed the subjects were the same regarding demographic characteristics and level of knowledge concerning various methods of labor and Lamaze technique. There was no significant difference between two groups regarding the type of delivery, longitude of the first stage of delivery and the first and fifth minute APGAR score as well as mean gestational age. But, a significant difference in frequency of normal vaginal delivery and forceps or vacuum usage between two groups was mentioned (p). Discussion: The findings showed Lamaze practices can increase satisfaction of labor process.

Received 19 January, 2021; Accepted 23 March, 2021 Birth injury is an important cause of short and long-term deformity and disability in children. It is becoming an increasing source of litigation in developing countries. Exploring the magnitude of the problem in a resource-limited setting, and, identifying associated factors, will help reduce its occurrence. This surveillance for birth injuries is a 4-year prospective study conducted in the Enugu State University Teaching Hospital (ESUTH) between 2013 and 2017. Newborns with birth injuries and controls delivered around the same time with similar clinic-anthropometric parameters were enrolled for this study. One thousand nine hundred and twenty newborns were seen during the study period. Forty-six birth injuries were recorded giving in-hospital incidence rate of 24.0 (CI 17.3-30.9) per 1000 live birth. Majority (64.1%) of the injuries seen were related to the scalp. The commonest birth injuries encountered included Caput Succedaneum (41.2), Cephalohematoma (22.9), Erb’s Palsy (17.4), and shoulder dislocation (6.5).

    AWHONN Compendium of Postpartum Care THIRD EDITION AWHONN Compendium of Postpartum Care Third Edition Editors: Patricia D. Suplee, PhD, RNC-OB Jill Janke, PhD, WHNP, RN This Compendium was developed by AWHONN as an informational resource for nursing practice. The Compendium does not define a standard of care, nor is it intended to dictate an exclusive course of management. It presents general methods and techniques of practice that AWHONN believes to be currently and widely viewed as acceptable, based on current research and recognized authorities. Proper care of individual patients may depend on many individual factors to be considered in clinical practice, as well as professional judgment in the techniques described herein. Variations and innovations that are consistent with law and that demonstrably improve the quality of patient care should be encouraged. AWHONN believes the drug classifications and product selection set forth in this text are in accordance with current recommendations and practice at the time of publication. However, in view of ongoing research, changes in government regulations, and the constant flow of information relating to drug therapy and drug reactions, the reader is urged to check information available in other published sources for each drug for potential changes in indications, dosages, warnings, and precautions. This is particularly important when a recommended agent is a new product or drug or an infrequently employed drug. In addition, appropriate medication use may depend on unique factors such as individuals’ health status, other medication use, and other factors that the professional must consider in clinical practice. The information presented here is not designed to define standards of practice for employment, licensure, discipline, legal, or other purposes.
