What will you learn today on The Hormone Genius with Guest Dr. Stephanie Kafie? What devices and technology are available for women to track their fertility? What are the advantages and disadvantages of these devices? What are natural signs of fertility that women can track and what are the advantages/disadvantages of these? How can femtech be incorporated into natural family planning for avoiding or achieving pregnancy? Dr. Kafie was kind enough to give additional information about femtech (see below), what devices are available, what the research is behind these methods and how they can be incorporated into NFP methods formally (such as Sympto-thermal or Marquette Method) or informally. Inito Pattnaik S, Das D, Venkatesan VA. A quantitative home-use framework for assessing fertility and identifying novel hormone trends by recording urine hormones. Medrxiv 2022 Bottom Line: Inito can be used for urinary monitoring of LH, estrogen and progesterone to help identify ovulation. Thakur R, Akram F, Rastogi V, Mitra A, Nawani R, Av V, et al. Development of Smartphone-Based Lateral Flow Device for the Quantification of LH and E3G Hormones 2020 Bottom Line: Using Inito for urinary hormone testing was comparable to the gold standard for urinary monitoring of LH, estrogen and progesterone. Inito vs. Mira Bouchard TP. Using Quantitative Hormonal Fertility Monitors to Evaluate the Luteal Phase: Medicina 2023 Bottom Line: There are few studies validating femtech devices: 2 studies for Inito, one study on Proov, and one comparing Mira and Clearblue. Further studies are needed to validate these devices. Clearblue vs. Mira Bouchard TP, Fehring RJ, Mu Q. Quantitative versus qualitative estrogen and luteinizing hormone testing for personal fertility monitoring. Expert Rev Mol Diagn 2021 Bottom Line: Both monitors had dates of ovulation that were highly correlated. Total satisfaction scores were higher for Clearblue than Mira. Marquette Method using Clearblue Monitor - Non-breastfeeding Fehring, R. J., & Schneider, M. (2017). Effectiveness of a Natural Family Planning , MCN, The American Journal of Maternal/Child Nursing Bottom Line: This study showed 98% effectiveness of the Marquette Method in avoiding pregnancy with perfect use in non-breastfeeding women. Marquette Method using Clearblue Monitor - Breastfeeding Bouchard, T., Fehring, R. J., & Schneider, M. (2013). Efficacy of a New Postpartum Transition Protocol for Avoiding Pregnancy. The Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine Bottom Line: With perfect use, this study showed 98% effectiveness of the Marquette Method for avoiding pregnancy during the transition to regular menstrual cycles postpartum. Marquette Method using Clearblue Monitor - Achieving Pregnancy Bouchard, T. P., Fehring, R. J. (2018). Achieving Pregnancy Using Primary Care Interventions to Identify the Fertile Window. Frontiers in Medicine Bottom line: For women who wish to achieve a pregnancy, using a hormonal fertility monitor alone offers to best natural estimate of a woman's fertile phase of her menstrual cycle. Focused intercourse during 24 menstrual cycles can assist couples with achieving pregnancy. Wearable Devices that track fertility - A Review Cromack SC, Walter JR. Consumer wearables and personal devices for tracking the fertile window. Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2024 Bottom Line: More research is needed on these devices. Studies have many limitations with limited sample sizes and researchers who may have a stake in the company.

In this episode, we dive into an often overlooked topic: provider trauma in labor and delivery (L&D). We explore what provider trauma is, how the high-pressure environment of L&D impacts healthcare workers, and why acknowledging their trauma is crucial for improving patient care.Join us as we discuss the intersection of provider trauma and birth trauma, the challenges providers face, and the importance of creating a supportive system that fosters healing for both caregivers and patients.Whether you're a healthcare provider, birth worker, or someone impacted by birth trauma, this episode sheds light on the emotional toll of L&D and why healing must happen on both sides of the birth experience.Busch, I.

Today, we're sharing a replay of our podcast episode with EBB Childbirth Class parent, Angela Jones, about having an uncomplicated pregnancy and birth when labeled as high risk. Angela is a macro-level social worker, wife to her husband, Tony, and mom to her son, Allister, and their cats, Pumpernickel and Lion-O. Angela and Tony graduated from the Evidence Based Birth Childbirth Class with EBB instructor, Victoria Michonski. Both Victoria and Heather McCullough, who is also an EBB instructor, were Angela and Tony's doulas for Allister's birth. In today's replay, we talk about Angela's birth story and her experience having an easy, uncomplicated pregnancy and birth despite being labeled as high risk for multiple reasons. We also talk about data birth outcomes for people who have multiple high-risk labels. Three years later, Angela shared this thoughtful update as she reflected on her birth story. Update from Angela: When I am having difficult moments, I sometimes look back at the video of myself giving birth to Allister and feel such peace. Allister turned 3 this year, and recently he has been asking about how he came into this world. My husband and I have been showing him the video of him being born and when he sees it, he looks at me, almost in awe, with a big smile. He now requests to see it at least once per week. Going into my birthing time, I never imagined that I would have 41 hours of active labor. I still credit the EBB course and my amazing doulas with having prepared me well in understanding all of the tools that were available to me when, after 30 hours of not being able to tolerate any food or water, I decided that I wanted to depart from my original birth plan. Getting an epidural allowed me to eat, drink, sleep and then ultimately push my son out gently in the position of my choosing. This was the exact birth experience that I wanted. I still encourage women, especially those who are afraid (in particular, those who are afraid due to multiple "high risk" labels) to not settle for a care team that is anything less than supportive, safe, and empowering. Content note: We talk about ectopic pregnancy, pregnancy losses, high-risk pregnancy complications, and perinatal morbidity. Resources: Learn more about EBB Instructor, Victoria Michonski, here.

This week on BackTable Urology, Dr. Suzette Sutherland (University of Washington) and Dr. Olivia Chang (UC Irvine) discuss reasons for uterine preservation and hysteropexy techniques for prolapse repair. --- EARN CME Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn free AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs: https://earnc.me/f2sdAy --- SHOW NOTES First, Suzette and Olivia discuss the value of keeping the uterus in place for women undergoing prolapse repairs, as well as the indications for apical suspension surgery. They also note the historical context of hysterectomy and why it has been the go-to treatment for so long. Next, the doctors discuss the advantages of hysteropexy over hysterectomy for prolapse repair, such as a shorter operative time, less bleeding, and a quicker recovery. The doctors then go into more detail about the best approaches for prolapse repair, like weighing the options of permanent sutures versus delayed absorbable sutures. They also analyze recurrence rates after prolapse surgery, specifically in the anterior compartment. Then, they explore the data on how the choice to keep the uterus in place can stem from a woman's personal and cultural views. Olivia shares about the Value of Uterus questionnaire, a six-question survey instrument that can quantify how a woman values her uterus. It can streamline clinic visits and help to predict whether a woman would choose a uterine-preserving procedure. The doctors note that there is research demonstrating a correlation between valuing the uterus and sexual activity. Finally, Suzette and Olivia contraindications for leaving the uterus in place. They emphasize the importance of assessing for abnormal uterine bleeding and cervical pathology before recommending uterine preservation. They suggest that listeners review the current guidelines around preoperative workup and consider transvaginal ultrasound or endometrial biopsy first. Lastly, they emphasize the importance of symptom and risk stratification and shared decision making when it comes to uterine preservation. --- RESOURCES Chang OH, Walters MD, Yao M, Lapin B.

This is the first of a special podcast series on obstetric critical care. I am joined on this series by Dr. Elizabeth Garchar, MD, FACOG. She is an OB/GYN and Maternal Fetal Medicine (MFM) specialist who has a special interest in obstetric critical care. She is also unique in that she flies regularly with our critical care transport teams and acts as one of our Assistant Medical Directors for the flight program. So, Dr. Garchar has unique insight into managing this population in transport. This podcast focuses on severe postpartum hemorrhage. We discuss the epidemiology and risk factors as well as the nuances of diagnosis, specifically how blood loss is actually quantified in this setting. We also go through the importance of point-of-care ultrasound to help identify and manage the causes of postpartum hemorrhage. Then, we transition to the discussion of management, focusing on the medical management of uterine atony, and also go over advanced interventions such as uterine packing, balloon tamponade devices, and REBOA. Finally, Dr. Garchar discusses the indication and procedure for emergent hysterectomy as well as the post-procedure management critical care transport crews may have to perform.

In this episode, Dr. Ian Fields joins Dr. Mark Hoffman at the mic to discuss the role of the microbiome in obstetrical and gynecological conditions. --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Ian Fields completed a fellowship in Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery and received a Master of Clinical Research degree from Oregon Health & Sciences University. His research focuses on changes in the urinary microbiome and their association with lower urinary tract symptoms. Dr. Fields begins the episode by describing the microbiome as “all of the things outside of our cells that make up the human body,” which includes bacteria, viruses, and fungi. He explains that the microbiome may play a role in how humans maintain states of health, in addition to having large impacts on the pathophysiology or development of disease states. Dr. Fields references the Human Microbiome Project, a United States National Institutes of Health research initiative that was aimed to improve the understanding of microbiota in relation to human health and diseases. The physicians then transition to cover the role of the microbiome, specifically in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. Dr. Fields explains that the most studied condition is bacterial vaginosis. From a urogynecology perspective, he expresses a particular interest in urinary tract disorders, such as urinary incontinence, recurrent urinary tract infections, and interstitial cystitis. Dr. Fields emphasizes to listeners that urine is not sterile. In addition, he highlights how the use of vaginal estrogen increases the presence of lactobacillus within the genital microbiome, and thus is beneficial in the settings of genitourinary syndrome of menopause and recurrent menopause. Dr. Fields concludes the episode by briefly addressing other areas of study regarding the microbiome in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. For example, studies have revealed a link between vaginal microbiota and risk of preterm birth, as well as neonatal gut microbiota and the mode of delivery. Ultimately, Dr. Fields states that the microbiome is an underfunded and understudied aspect of medicine, and he urges listeners to acknowledge the large potential the field has. --- RESOURCES The Human Microbiome Project: https://hmpdacc.org/hmp/overview/ Brubaker L, Nager CW, Richter HE, Visco A, Nygaard I, Barber MD, Schaffer J, Meikle S, Wallace D, Shibata N, Wolfe AJ.

Episode 129: Emergency ContraceptionBailey describes the available methods of emergency contraception in the United States. Written by Bailey Corona, MS4, American University of the Caribbean. Editing by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Definition. Emergency contraception refers to therapy used after intercourse to prevent pregnancy. The need for emergency contraception can happen for many reasons, such as a condom breaking or failure to use contraception. More than 11% of sexually active women in the United States between ages 15 and 44 reports using emergency contraception at least once. With such high demand, a multitude of options has become available to meet these needs. With so many options on the market, it may be difficult to decide which option best fits the needs of each individual, which makes it important for providers to have a clear understanding of the risks and benefits associated with each method. Emergency contraception may be commonly used by young patients as their main contraception method. Let's talk about the types of emergency contraception.Levonorgestrel-only (Plan B®).Levonorge'strel-only emergency contraception is the most popular option on the market today. More commonly known as “Plan-B”, this therapy works because of levonorgestrel's similar make-up to progesterone. Mechanism of action.High levels of progesterone delay follicular development so long as it is administered before the level of luteinizing hormone begin to rise. This gives contraceptive therapy of this class a therapeutic window of 72 hours which is the most limited window of all the methods discussed. Despite this shortcoming, Levonorgestrel contraception remains the most popular option because it can be purchased over the counter without the need of a physician and is available to women of all ages. Additionally, therapy includes only a single 1.5mg dose making noncompliance virtually non-existent. Side effects. Side effects include nausea in 12% of patients and headache in 19% of patients. According to one study, 16% of women reported self-resolving uterine bleeding within the first week after use.Selective progesterone modulators (Ella®).The second most commonly used form of emergency contraception are the selective progesterone receptor modulators or more widely known as Ella®. Mechanism of action.Treatment includes a single 30mg dose of ulipristal acetate, which inhibits follicular rupture even after the luteinizing hormone has begun to rise. Due to this mechanism of action, selective progesterone receptor modulators have a wider therapeutic window of 5 days.Side effects.Side effects resemble that of progesterone-only therapy, significant for nausea and headache. Treatment has 2 major barriers preventing it from being the most widely used. Firstly, efficacy is decreased in women with a BMI greater than 35, and secondly, treatment requires a prescription from a medical professional. Estrogen-progesterone combination.Estrogen-progesterone combination therapy is also a viable option for emergency contraception; however, it is no longer available as a dedicated product but can be made from a variety of oral contraceptives. Its decreased popularity is likely due to its increased incidence of nausea when compared to the other options available.Copper IUD.Lastly, Copper IUDs like Paragard can be used for emergency contraception despite not being FDA-approved for this purpose. Copper IUDs are highly effective if placed within 5 days of intercourse, but studies have shown therapy to be effective up to 10 days after. Mechanism of action.Copper IUDs prevent fertilization by altering sperm viability and oocyte-endometrium interaction. This method is the most invasive as it requires placement by a physician and carries the rare risk of uterine perforation, occurring in around 1/1000 IUD placements. That said, copper IUD placement carries with it the added benefit of continued contraception for 10 years. It is contraindicated, however, in patients with a history of heavy menstrual bleeding. FAQs about emergency contraception:Does increasing the availability of emergency contraception encourage risky sexual behavior?No, according to a systematic review by Maria Rodrigues, there was no significant increase in sexually risky behavior correlated with increased availability of emergency contraception.Rodriguez MI, et al.What is the greatest barrier to emergency contraception use in the United States?Education. A study by Abbott J, et al, interviewed adolescents receiving care in urban emergency rooms. The study showed that only 64% of patients had ever heard of emergency contraception. By educating patients of reproductive age on what options may be available to them it is expected that there would be a decrease in unplanned pregnancies. Additionally, studies like “knowledge of emergency contraception among women aged 18-44 in California” by Foster DG have gone further to establish that women of lower socioeconomic status, foreign birth, or who have not graduated high school also have suboptimal education in emergency contraception.When should someone use emergency contraception?Treatment should begin as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse in order to ensure maximum efficacy. 3 days for Plan B, 5 days for Ella, and 10 days for IUD.How effective is emergency contraception?The answer to this question differs based upon what method a patient decides to useIUDsA systematic review of 42 studies over a 35-year time period reports that pregnancy rates were between 0 and 2%.The efficacy of intrauterine devices for emergency contraception: a systematic review of 35 years of experience by Cleland K. et al. Oral regimens have been studied extensively and have shown that ulipristal acetate like Ella® are slightly more effective, showing a pregnancy rate of 1.4% and a rate of 2.2% in levonorgestrel-only pills like Plan B. Ulipristal acetate versus levonorgestrel for emergency contraception: a randomized non-inferiority trial and meta-analysis by Glacier AF.Do patients require follow up after use of emergency contraception?No. Only if there is a delay in the start of normal menses by greater than 1 week or if lower abdominal pain or persistent irregular bleeding develops.___________________Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number 129 “Emergency Contraception.” Bailey explained that a pelvic exam is not needed in most cases before or after emergency contraception. Plan B® is available over the counter, while Ella® is available with a prescription. Copper IUD is not FDA-approved for emergency contraception, but evidence has shown it is an effective method. Dr. Arreaza suggested that, after learning more about emergency contraception, listeners can draw their own conclusions about the ethical dilemma of prescribing it to their patients.

On today's podcast, we're going to talk with EBB Childbirth Class parent, Angela Jones, about having an uncomplicated pregnancy and birth when labeled as high risk. Angela is a macro-level social worker, wife to her husband, Tony, and mom to her son, Alistair, and their cats, Pumpernickel and Lion-O. Angela and Tony graduated from the Evidence Based Birth Childbirth Class with EBB instructor, Victoria Michonski. Both Victoria and Heather McCullough, who is also an EBB instructor, were Angela and Tony's doulas for Alistair's birth. We talk about Angela's birth story and her experience having an easy, uncomplicated pregnancy and birth despite being labeled as high risk for multiple reasons. We also talk about data birth outcomes for people who have multiple high-risk labels. Content Warning: We talk about ectopic pregnancy, pregnancy losses, high-risk pregnancy complications, and perinatal morbidity.

www.bmj.com/content/368/bmj.m149 No one wants to get pregnant two minutes after having a baby. And also agrees that an IUD is most effective form of conception. However placing IUD after delivering a child seems to be a point of debate as the risk of expulsion seems to be significantly higher immediately post pregnancy In this study titled Averbach SH, Ermias Y, Jeng G, et al. Expulsion of intrauterine devices after postpartum placement by timing of placement, delivery type, and intrauterine device type: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2020;223:177-188. They looked at the different rates of IUD expulsion postpartum. As you can imagine the rates vary based on if the IUD was placed within 3 minutes of child delivery or 3 weeks after child delivery. There also seemed to be a difference between hormonal IUD (LNG-IUD) compared with a copper T-shaped IUD. Finally there was a difference whether she had a C-section or a vaginal delivery as you can imagine the vaginal delivery was associated with significant less rates of expulsion which is the numbers we are going to talk about going forward as the rates of expulsion following C-section were significantly lower around 0-2%. Brand progesterone IUD are called Skyla, Liletta, Mirena -- but in this study they only included those papers which she used MIRANA. Copper IUD goes by paragard Ultimately the authors looked at 3 different timeframes for placement of the IUD. 1-immediate placement within 10 minutes postpartum, or IUD placement anywhere from 10 minutes postpartum to 72 hours postpartum or early outpatient placement somewhere between 72 hours to 4 weeks postpartum So let’s break them down by timeframe- Those individuals who had an IUD placed immediately following delivery had a 27% exposure rate with Mirena and a 12% exposure rate with ParaGard Those individuals who had an IUD placed not immediately but within the first 72 hours the exposure rate was 37% with the hormonal IUD and 7% for the copper IUD And finally for those women who had an IUD placed in the outpatient setting at some point between 72 hours in 4 weeks there was no expulsion that occurred for either the hormonal or copper IUD. I think the final answer here is for a woman who has a vaginal delivery and would like to have IUD placement following delivery there is almost no way we can justify placing hormonal IUDs within the first 72 hours as the expulsion rate of 30ish percent is way too high to justify. The ideal situation would be IUD placement in the outpatient setting at sometime point between 72 hours in 4 weeks however if you’re patient is insisting on IUD placement while still in the hospital then it appears the best option would be a copper IUD and this likely should be placed as close to discharge as possible because even those individuals who had a copper IUD placed prior to 72 hours still had a 7% exposure rate which seems a little high. If you’re going to use this paper and practice I think important thing to remember is that it was for woman with vaginal deliveries and not for women with C-sections as those individuals had near 0% expulsion rates. The next our article talks about one of the most irritating conditions to treat and of course that is irritable bowel syndrome. In this randomized double-blind placebo controlled trial titled Hamatani T, Fukudo S, Nakada Y, Inada H, Kazumori K, Miwa H. Randomised clinical trial: minesapride vs placebo for irritable bowel syndrome with predominant constipation. Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2020;52(3):430-441. Author still just over 400 patients with a history of severe irritable bowel syndrome predominant constipation who were having less than 3 spontaneous bowel movements per week and randomized them to placebo or minesapride 10 mg, 20 mg, or 40 mg daily for 3 months. The primary endpoint—an increase in one or more complete spontaneous bowel movements and in the end it didn’t matter what dose of minesapride you got because it was no better than placebo. All groups had about a 40% improvement in their rates of spontaneous bowel movement. Irritable bowel is irritating to treat because pooping and bowel movement are so mental. Anxiety and stress and tension can back you up like a hoover damn and then a magical pill even if it is placebo can put you at ease and open the flood gates…running a trial is hard because you need to beat placebo and speaking of things that didn’t beat placebo This paper titled Boesen AP, Boesen MI, Hansen R, et al. Effect of platelet-rich plasma on nonsurgically treated acute achilles tendon ruptures: a randomized, double-blinded prospective study. Am J Sports Med 2020;48(9):2268-2276. Looked to see if platelet rich plasma could be placebo in the treatment of acute Achilles tendon rupture. In this randomized double-blind placebo controlled trial of 40 patient’s with acute Achilles rupture confirmed on ultrasound- All patients were treated with a continuously worn ankle casts that kept the foot plantar flexed for 8 weeks. Every 2 weeks, the researchers lessened the degree of plantarflexion. After 9 weeks, all patients began an ankle rehabilitation program But half were randomized to placebo or and half platelet rich plasma injections. The patient’s were injected every 2 weeks starting within 4 days of the injury they then evaluated patient function via the Achilles tendon total rupture score at the time of removing the cast and then again at 3, 4-1/2, 6, 9, and 12 months after injury. In the end there was no difference between whether patient was randomized to receive platelet rich plasma injections or saline injections. Granted this study was only 40 patient’s and too small to determine differences such as the re-rupture rate but this was a really well done study that I think is hard to refute, they did a lot of things exactly how you want to see them done. For example, None of the patient’s nor providers nor the statistician’s nor the outcome assessors were aware of Whether the patient had received saline or platelet rich plasma. There is only one person who did the injections which was an experience sports medicine physician and injected all patients under ultrasound but this provider had no other influence on the patient’s outcome or care and was also blinded to saline or platelet rich plasma injections as a sheeth was placed over the syringe and the help of the needle. This in all actuality was a very well done trial and methadone neurologically was one of the most sound trials I have read in a long time, if he ever want to read how a method section should be written then he should read this paper. The methods were given in such extreme detail right down to the exact gauge of the needle and to the to the brand of ultrasound machine was used. If you doubt this trial then there is more than enough information in the method section you could easily repeat it in your office tomorrow without any questions. But otherwise said placebo was not nothing placebo is hard to be especially if you’re trying to be treated with platelet rich plasma for an Achilles tendon rupture The man noticed that I said they did a method section really well and if he doesn’t agree with the outcome then you can repeat the study yourself in your clinic. I notice when he comes a cold literature as well as vitamin D literature and other such literature which is borderline terrible those individuals who believe in something so powerful such as mask refuses to believe the outcome of the well done trial regardless of how well the trial was done. However the most important part of the paper size for the results is the method section. If you know exactly what gauge needle, what size syringe, what lab assay, what number years of experience the provider giving the intervention has you can almost do an exact simulation in your office and see if you, with the exact results because sometimes the results very just based on something he would never think of like the laboratory which is no more clearly seen in this article titled Potter JM, Hickman PE, Oakman C, Woods C, Nolan CJ. Strict preanalytical oral glucose tolerance test blood sample handling is essential for diagnosing gestational diabetes mellitus. Diabetes Care 2020;43(7):1438-1441. Which looked at the effect of processing and oral glucose tolerance test with either delayed or early centrifuge protocol. There is a total of just over 12,000 women in this study approximately 7000 women received delayed centrifuge protocol and approximately 5000 women received in early centrifuge protocol. The lumen that had the delayed centrifuge protocol Heather blood collected but then it was sent off to a central laboratory for blood glucose analysis those when that had a early centrifuge protocol underwent the same oral glucose tolerance testing but when they had their blood drawn for analysis but glucose testing was performed immediately. All things being equal they’re really shouldn’t be much of a difference here the results showed that those individuals who had immediate glucose testing rales twice as likely to be diagnosed with gestational diabetes than those individuals with delayed glucose testing Fasting- with fasting there was a difference of 4 mg/dl 1-hour samples 6.1 mg/dL and the two hour measurement was a difference of - 2.8 mg/dL (0.16 mmol/L; 2.3%).. this may sound very small change in the overall glucose but remember the fasting blood glucose concentration is less than 95 so a difference of 4 just based on higher lab processes the blood draw is almost a 5% error in the test.. Likely in the United States for many oral glucose tolerance test we use Accu-Chek monitors however the same question in the same importance and relevant supplies to the calibration and accuracy of the monitor being used. We have a chance grab 2 different brand monitors and check the same person at the exact same time just with different fingers and all certainly you’ll come up with a slight difference in their blood sugar. I’m not surprised by these findings which is a constant reminder that will be due in medicine is small. Nothing is a parachute. Nothing is absolute. I recently heard someone compare a certain intervention to Russian Roulette which implies a 1-6 chance of dying, this is follow-up taking that gives us an over his zealous and heightened sense of our work almost nothing that we do as a number needed to treat of 6 and especially not for death. We have to keep this in mind make sure that our patients are also aware of the inconsistencies in our practice of medicine which is also clearly seen in this paper titled McCormack JP, Holmes DT. Your results may vary: the imprecision of medical measurements. BMJ 2020;368:m149. doi: 10.1136/bmj.m149 Which looked at the variation or error that surrounds laboratory testing. This paper found much of what I mentioned previously on questioning medicine about laboratory findings such as a single HbA1c test result of 6.3% (45 mmol/L) could actually be as low as 5.5% (39 mmol/mol) or as high as 7.1% (51 mmol/mol). The lab findings are thrown off by variability in the analytic or lab process (4.3%), as well as biologic variability meaning the variation in the same person over the course of days caused by physiologic changes. Combined, these challenges to precision can make a single iron, bilirubin, or triglyceride level be inaccurate by as much as 50%. That means you would require at least a 50% change in the levels to be considered valid true actual change and not just a stastical variability. I have put a link to the office calculator as the very first piece of information in this podcast and think everyone should save it to their favorites to either bring up with the patient sitting in clinic or to discuss with your colleagues at the next zoom conference Let’s recap the articles discussed today before this ship set sale in the sea of evidence

FDA 批准促性腺激素释放激素(GnRH)拮抗剂治疗子宫肌瘤导致的大量子宫出血NEJM 比较子宫动脉栓塞术与子宫肌瘤切除术治疗子宫肌瘤的疗效Cell 在孕妇中利用代谢动力学预测孕周和分娩时间恶拉戈利(elagolix)恶拉戈利(elagolix)是一种口服促性腺激素释放激素(GnRH)拮抗剂,既往用于治疗子宫内膜异位症引起的盆腔疼痛。2020年5月,美国FDA批准恶拉戈利用于治疗绝经前期、子宫肌瘤导致的大量子宫出血。《UF-1和UF-2研究:恶拉戈利治疗子宫肌瘤所致月经过多的治疗方案》New England Journal of Medicine,2020年1月 (1)研究旨在比较恶拉戈利300mg bid(单药治疗或联合雌激素-孕激素反加疗法)对子宫肌瘤的疗效。在两项相同的试验(UF-1和UF-2)中,月经过多(月经失血量>80 mL)且经超声诊断为子宫肌瘤的总共790名女性(平均年龄42岁)被随机分组,分别接受6个月的恶拉戈利联合反加疗法、恶拉戈利单药治疗或安慰剂治疗。研究者通过收集生理用品的方式量化月经失血量。两项研究6个月后,84%和77%的单药治疗、68.5%和76.5%的恶拉戈利联合反加疗法和9%的安慰剂组达到主要终点(月经量50%)。主要不良反应是潮热和子宫出血,恶拉戈利联合反加治疗组的发生率显著高于安慰剂组。反加治疗法减轻了恶拉戈利的低雌激素效应,腰椎骨密度减少0.76%,低于恶拉戈利单药治疗组2.95%。结论:恶拉戈利单药治疗或联合雌-孕激素反加疗法均有效减轻子宫肌瘤相关的月经过多。恶拉戈利单药治疗与骨密度显著降低相关,反加治疗可以减少这种副作用。子宫肌瘤子宫肌瘤,是女性最常见的盆腔肿瘤,是起源于子宫平滑肌细胞和成纤维细胞的单克隆非癌性肿瘤。主要发生在育龄期妇女,可表现为异常子宫出血、盆腔疼痛/压迫感、生殖功能障碍(不孕或产科并发症)。大多数的子宫肌瘤会在生产后或绝经后自行萎缩;如果子宫肌瘤引起严重症状,则需治疗。对没有生育要求的患者,可行宫腔镜下切除粘膜下肌瘤;雌-孕激素避孕药;释放孕激素的宫内节育器;氨甲环酸;促性腺激素释放激素(GnRH)的激动剂和拮抗剂等。对于有生育要求的患者,药物大多会妨碍受孕,因此治疗首选微创手术切除。《行子宫动脉栓塞术与子宫肌瘤切除术治疗子宫肌瘤的比较》New England Journal of Medicine,2020年7月 (2)对于希望保留子宫、且药物治疗无效的女性,子宫肌瘤切除术和子宫动脉栓塞术是可选治疗方案。这项多中心、随机、开放标签试验,旨在评估症状性子宫肌瘤患者中使用子宫肌瘤切除术和子宫动脉栓塞术的疗效的比较。子宫肌瘤切除术的可选术式包括开腹、腹腔镜或宫腔镜手术。研究共招募了254名女性随机分组:子宫肌瘤切除术组和子宫动脉栓塞术。随访2年时,两组的生活质量评分分别为84.6分和80.0分(P=0.01)。在所有初次手术中,子宫肌瘤切除术组29%的女性和子宫动脉栓塞术组24%的女性发生了围手术期和术后并发症。结论:在有症状的子宫肌瘤患者中,接受子宫肌瘤切除术的女性在2年时的子宫肌瘤相关生活质量优于接受子宫动脉栓塞术的女性。《随机双盲对照试验:术前氨甲环酸减少子宫肌瘤切除术失血》American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology,2020年9月(3)氨甲环酸是一种合成赖氨酸衍生物,具有抗纤溶活性,用于其他外科学科,以减少手术期间的失血。本研究旨在探讨早期静脉注射氨甲环酸对子宫肌瘤切除术妇女围手术期出血和输血需求的影响。这项双盲、随机、安慰剂对照试验中,纳入有大出血风险的、症状性子宫肌瘤的女性共60人,随机分入干预组(手术前20分钟静脉注射氨甲环酸15 mg/kg)和安慰剂组(手术前静脉注射生理盐水)。这里有大出血风险定义为:(1)至少1个肌瘤≥10cm,(2)任何1个肌壁内或阔韧带肌瘤≥6cm,和/或(3)手术前影像学检查提示至少有5个肌瘤。患者中53%接受腹腔镜子宫肌瘤切除术,40%接受机器人子宫肌瘤切除术,7%接受采用剖腹手术。氨甲环酸组和安慰剂组中,中位估计失血量分别为200ml和240ml(P=0.88);中位手术时间没有差异(165min 和 164min),围手术期血红蛋白改变也没有差异(1.00 和 1.1 g/dL)。氨甲环酸组的患者均不需要输血,但安慰剂组有4例需要输血。结论:术前静脉给予氨甲环酸在腹腔镜或机器人肌瘤切除过程中,与减少出血量无关。《术前肠道准备并不能减少子宫切除术后的感染》American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology,2020年8月 (4)关于妇科手术前肠道准备的文献很少,在子宫切除术前进行肠道准备主要是借鉴结直肠手术的经验。因此本研究的目的是比较子宫切除术前,与无肠道准备相比,单纯机械性肠准备、单纯口服抗生素或联合使用抗生素是否与手术部位感染或吻合口漏发生率降低有关。研究回顾性的分析了10余年间、共224,687例子宫切除术手术患者的数据。其中良性疾病186,148例、平均45岁,恶性肿瘤38,539例,平均54岁。其中包括腹腔镜/机器人手术、剖腹手术和经阴道手术等不同术式。术前准备包括肠道准备、口服抗生素、两者联合等不同策略。研究人员发现,肠道准备并没有降低手术部位感染、吻合口漏或其他并发症的发病率。在恶性肿瘤、开腹子宫切除术中,肠道准备、口服抗生素或肠道准备联合抗生素等几种策略,与不进行抗生素预防治疗的患者相比,感染发病率没有差异。结论:无论手术方式如何,肠道准备都不能预防手术部位感染或并发症,可以安全省略此步骤。妊娠期高血压妊娠>20周的女性新发高血压,但没有蛋白尿或新发靶器官功能障碍,则诊断为妊娠期高血压。根据2019年美国妇产科医师学会的建议,无论是否有其他表现,收缩压≥ 160mmHg和/或舒张压≥110mmHg,应直接诊断为“重度子痫前期”,即以前所说的“重度妊娠高血压”。更名的原因是,即使没有蛋白尿,妊娠诱发的重度血压升高也可能导致严重的不良事件。若产后≥12周后,血压仍高于正常,诊断为慢性高血压。妊娠期高血压最常用的降压药物包括:甲基多巴、拉贝洛尔、硝苯地平。尚有争议的药物包括:噻嗪类利尿剂、肼屈嗪、可乐定、硝普钠。妊娠期应避免使用的药物包括:ACEI、ARB、直接肾素抑制剂、盐皮质激素。《综述:他汀类药物在预防子痫前期中的作用》American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology,2020年8月 (5)子痫前期的确切原因尚不清楚,但普遍认为与胎盘异常释放可溶性抗血管生成因子有关,加之氧化应激和炎症反应的增加,导致母体全身内皮功能障碍。他汀类药物已被证明可以纠正类似的病理生理过程。普伐他汀,在各种临床前期和临床研究中显示,它可以逆转妊娠特异性的血管功能失衡,恢复内皮健康,防止氧化和炎症损伤。人类研究表明普伐他汀具有良好的安全性,而最近的证据不支持他汀类药物致畸的担忧。结论:他汀类药物在子痫前期预防性的使用,仍需大型随机对照研究支持。《荟萃分析:口服降压药对慢性高血压孕妇的疗效和安全性的比较》American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology,2020年10月 (6)此荟萃分析的目的是同时比较降压药对患有慢性高血压的孕妇的疗效和安全性。共纳入了22项研究,包括4464名女性。随机对照试验的分析表明,没有任何药物会显著影响先兆子痫的发生率。与安慰剂相比,阿替洛尔与小于胎龄儿(small for gestational age,SGA)的风险增加显著相关(风险比 26.00),而且被列为疗效最差的降压药。严重高血压的发生率在以下药物的干预下显著降低:硝苯地平风险比0.27,甲基多巴风险比0.31,吲哚洛尔风险比0.29,酮舍林风险比0.17。相比而言,严重高血压发生的概率最高的药物包括:速尿、氨氯地平和安慰剂。硝苯地平和甲基多巴能显著降低胎盘早剥率的风险(风险比 0.29和0.23)。各类降压药在剖宫产、围产期死亡、早产和分娩时胎龄方面无显著差异。结论:阿替洛尔与小于胎龄儿的风险显著增加有关。当使用硝苯地平和甲基多巴时,严重高血压的发生率显著降低。尽管在降压药中先兆子痫的风险是相似的,但未来仍需大规模研究为妊娠期降压药的选择和目标血压提供指导。《前瞻性观察队列研究:慢性高血压患者妊娠并发症与妊娠前母体心脏功能和结构有关》American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology,2020年9月 (7)约3%的妊娠合并为慢性高血压,这些产妇的分娩并发症发生率可高达25 - 28%。本研究的目的是通过超声心动图,评估妊娠前孕妇的心脏结构和功能,寻找其与分娩并发症以及妊娠前治疗的相关性。这项前瞻性观察队列研究,纳入192名长期接受降压治疗的孕妇,妊娠前改用甲基多巴,并随访至分娩。在192例患者中,出现24例早期并发症(

In this episode, I am joined by Sabrina Tran of Alabama, who recently had a daughter, and took the Evidence Based Birth Childbirth Class with Instructor Traci Weafer. Sabrina, a therapist, is now a stay at home mom. Sabrina had a precipitous - or, extremely fast labor and delivery. She describes it as exciting! Hear her tell her story of how her baby was born before the midwife could make it to her home. I also share the evidence on perineal tearing, and the relationships between tearing, provider experience, and home birth.

This episode is the first in our series of interviews we conducted live from the 2019 Evidence Based Birth Conference - Bringing the Evidence to Life. EBB Instructor and Professional Membership Coordinator Chanté Perryman interviewed several different panels of attendees, hearing from them the most pressing issues in their communities, and how they plan to affect change after being inspired at the conference. This week, we will hear from nurses and doulas: doula Rebecca McKinney, doula Sara Pixton, and labor and delivery nurse Paula Richards. Listen as they highlight some of the challenges faced between the two professions, and how both can work together to support women in labor. After their brief interview, I talk about the research evidence on the challenges of doulas and nurses working together, and offer potential solutions for collaboration!

Audrey Gaskins is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University. Dr. Gaskins earned her doctoral degree in nutrition and epidemiology from the Harvard School of Public Health in 2014. This training was preceded by a two-year fellowship in the Department of Epidemiology at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and a Bachelor's of Science degree in engineering from Duke University in 2008. Dr. Gaskins's research is aimed at elucidating how environmental, dietary, and lifestyle factors experienced throughout the life course influence a couple's ability to conceive and maintain a healthy pregnancy to term. Over the past decade, she has published over 100 articles on how diet and lifestyle factors affect semen quality, menstrual cycle function, time to pregnancy, miscarriage, and outcomes of assisted reproduction using a variety of population based studies. Her research has been cited over 1,500 times and resulted in numerous awards including multiple NIEHS Top 10 Extramural Science Papers of the Year and the Best New Researcher Award from the International Society of Environmental Epidemiology. In April 2017, Dr. Gaskins received a prestigious 5-year career development award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to further her research on how exposure to environmental chemicals such as air pollution interact with dietary factors to influence a couple's fertility. In addition to her research endeavors, Dr. Gaskins teaches courses ranging from research methods to nutrition and health and devotes a significant amount of time to mentoring students and fellows at Emory and Emory-affiliated hospitals. She is the current chair of the Nutrition Special Interest Group of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and on the editorial board for Fertility & Sterility, one of the leading academic journals of reproductive medicine. What does the research say about the recent rise in infertility? What are the dietary and environmental factors contributing to fertility and healthy pregnancy?

Hi Everyone, After last weeks fascinating case discussion, Nolan and I continue with our discussion on amniotic fluid embolism. In this discussion we drill down into some of the current theories and understanding of the pathophysiology, prevalence, risk factors and AMOSS, the Australasian Maternities Outcomes Surveillance System, which has focussed on AFE in Australasia. The exact biological mechanism of AFE is still not fully understood as this is a rare unpredictable condition with no reproducible animal model which makes it exceedingly difficult to study. The knowledge we currently have has been gleaned from descriptions of case reports / case series and the pathophysiology that was observed. Current theories favour the condition to be an immune mediated reaction triggered by maternal exposure to fetal amniotic fluid and that the term "embolism" may be misleading. Listen to our podcast above for some more nuanced discussion on this topic. If anyone has any comments, questions or personal experiences they'd like to share please leave us a comment we'd love hear from you!

If you are a parent, then you have been sleep deprived more often than you probably remember (or would like to admit). Heck, many parents I know operate in a cycle of sleep deprivation wherein half of the time they are sleeping decently and the other half is a solid 3-4 hours of interrupted and crappy sleep. Consider this the rule book on how to workout while sleep deprived. When my son was born and put me through the navy seal-style sleep deprivation training, I couldn't find anything helpful out there to guide me in not giving up my workout habit without injuring myself or making the exhaustion worse. Enjoy! And note, whether its the job, familial issues, or the kids that's ruining your sleep, this will not last forever.

https://www.obsgynaecritcare.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Oxytocin-in-labour-increases-PPH.m4a The use of oxytocin to induce or augment labour is an established, commonly used practice that underpins a lot of modern obstetric practice. This technique is a undoubtedly a useful tool which has allowed us to improve maternal and fetal outcomes. For example to induce a timely delivery when maternal illness such as PET occurs or to avoid an operative delivery for a mother when their spontaneous progress in labour is slow. However, like most things in medicine (and life in general) there is no such thing as a "free lunch" and it is perhaps a less well recognised fact that the use of oxytocin in labour - especially at higher doses and for prolonged periods - is associated with an increased risk of postpartum haemorrhage due to uterine atony. Uterine atony is becoming more common in developed countries: The incidence of uterine atony causing postpartum haemorrhage in developed countries has increased markedly in the last 2 decades - one of the important factors contributing to this is thought to be the increased prevalence and use of oxytocin during labour. Lutomski JE1, Byrne BM, Devane D, Greene RA. Increasing trends in atonic postpartum haemorrhage in Ireland: an 11-year population-based cohort study. BJOG. 2012 Feb;119(3):306-14. Epidemiological investigation of a temporal increase in atonic postpartum haemorrhage: a population-based retrospective cohort study. What is the mechanism underlying this phenomenon? Exposure to oxytocin used during labour over time leads to downregulation and desensitisation of the oxytocin receptors on the myometrium. This leads to a decreased response to oxytocin when used after delivery as a uterotonic to prevent PPH.¹ "Fatigued / tired myometrium". Women who are not progressing well and have been in prolonged labour may have a "tired" myometrium (it is a muscle and it tires after prolonged use). These women may often then receive augmentation with oxytocin in an effort to achieve vaginal delivery. The presence of the oxytocin infusion could also be considered a marker of the presence of a "fatigued / tired" uterus in these individuals.² 1. Oxytocin exposure during labor among women with postpartum hemorrhage secondary to uterine atony. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2011; 204: 56.e1-6. 2. Predictors of severity in primary postpartum hemorrhage. Arch Gynecol Obstet. 2015 Dec;292(6):1247-54. Recognise these patients BEFORE delivery. Anticipate and prepare for uterine atony! In Theatre: When patients come from labour ward to theatre for a non elective caesarean during the patient assessment and the team time out specifically enquire about the length of labour & oxytocin use, duration and dose. In Labour Ward: The midwifery and obstetric team should specifically have a discussion regarding their planned management of the third stage in patients on oxytocin infusions. Oxytocin is still the best first line uterotonic but anticipate that it may not be effective. In vitro rat and human studies indicate that oxytocin is less effective in myometrium exposed to oxytocin in labour, but still appears to be more effective than the other uterotonics - at least in vitro anyway.¹ Use oxytocin first but start with your highest recommended dose of oxytocin don't wait until haemorrhage is already well established! At our institution at caesarean delivery I would give a 2-3 unit bolus (and I personally repeat this a few times every few minutes if there is haemodynamic stability) and start the 40u/500ml infusion at 250ml/hr. 1 - Comparative efficacy of uterotonic agents: in vitro contractions in isolated myometrial strips of labouring and non-labouring women.

Pelvic inflammatory disease to PID has been a factor in the lives of women in the western world for at least 500 year. It effects up to 5% of US women at sometime during their life and its effects can be long-lasting and devastating.
