As the Year of the Dragon approaches, sales of products with dragon elements have witnessed explosive growth on major e-commerce platforms, which experts said indicates not only the strong resonance of traditional Chinese culture among consumers, but also the vitality of the nation's consumer market.龙年将至，各大电商平台龙元素产品销量爆发式增长，专家表示，这不仅体现了中国传统文化在消费者中的强烈共鸣，也体现了我国消费市场的活力。Dragon, or long in Chinese, a mythical and auspicious creature that is the fifth animal of the 12-year Chinese zodiac cycle, is considered to be a sacred symbol of good luck, strength and fortune in China. The purchasing frenzy ahead of the upcoming Spring Festival holiday is expected to further shore up consumer confidence and bolster the recovery of consumption, the experts added.龙，一种神秘的吉祥物，是中国十二生肖中的第五位，在中国文化中被认为是好运、力量和财富的神圣象征。专家补充说，春节假期前的抢购狂潮预计将进一步提振消费者信心，促进消费复苏。Data from e-commerce platform JD showed that searches for dragon-related merchandise via its online marketplace have surpassed 23 million since January, with dragon-themed Moutai, commemorative coins and apparel leading the trend.电商平台京东的数据显示，自1月份以来，网上市场上与龙相关的商品搜索量已超过2300万次，其中以龙为主题的茅台酒、纪念币和服饰引领潮流。Since the launch of JD's Spring Festival promotional campaign on Jan 17, the transaction volume of dragon-themed commodities in more than 800 subcategories has soared more than tenfold year-on-year, according to the company.据京东介绍，自1月17日春节促销活动启动以来，800多个小品类的龙主题商品交易额同比猛增十倍以上。It said products with dragon-themed elements, such as car ornaments, household accessories, clothing, daily necessities, alcohol, maternal and infant goods, and gold jewelry have been favored by consumers. Purchases by the post-1990s and post-2000s generations accounted for nearly 55 percent of the total, while consumers in Guangdong province, Beijing, Jiangsu province, Shanghai and Shandong province, in that order, were the top five spenders on dragon-featured items, according to JD.车饰、家居饰品、服装、日用品、酒类、母婴用品、黄金首饰等龙主题产品深受消费者青睐。90后、2000后消费群体占比近55%，龙类商品消费前五位依次为广东省、北京、江苏、上海、山东省。Jason Yu, general manager of Kantar Worldpanel China, a market research provider, said that because the dragon is an important symbol of Chinese traditional culture and is believed to bring good luck, Chinese consumers who buy dragon-themed goods are expressing their hopes for a better life in the new year.市场研究机构凯度消费者指数中国区总经理于杰表示，由于龙是中国传统文化的重要象征，被认为会带来好运，因此购买龙主题商品的中国消费者都表达了对龙的期待。新的一年生活更美好。Yu noted that China's Generation Z shoppers — those born between the mid-1990s and the early 2010s — are displaying a heightened sense of national pride and confidence in Chinese culture, and "their pursuit of the Year of the Dragon products has also injected fresh vitality into the inheritance of traditional culture".于杰表示，中国的Z世代购物者（即20世纪90年代中期至2010年代初出生的消费者）表现出高度的民族自豪感和对中国文化的自信，他们对龙年产品的追求也为传统文化传承注入了新鲜活力。Dragon-themed red envelopes, refrigerator magnets, mobile phone cases, underwear and socks have gained popularity among Chinese consumers, according to Taobao, the online marketplace of Chinese tech heavyweight Alibaba Group. Searches for dragon-related products skyrocketed 640-fold year-on-year between Dec 27 and Jan 2 on Taobao, according to the company.据中国科技重量级阿里巴巴集团的在线市场淘宝网称，以龙为主题的红包、冰箱贴、手机壳、内衣和袜子受到中国消费者的欢迎。据该公司称，12月27日至1月2日期间，淘宝上与龙相关的产品搜索量同比猛增640倍。Among the items, gold ornaments with dragon elements saw a 500-fold increase in search volume, while searches for "limited collections for the Year of the Dragon" soared more than thirtyfold compared with the same period last year. More than 30 museums, such as the Palace Museum in Beijing, the Gansu Provincial Museum and the British Museum, have launched over 1,000 limited editions of dragon-related products on Tmall, Alibaba's business-to-customer e-marketplace.其中，带有龙元素的金饰搜索量同比增长500倍，“龙年限量收藏”搜索量较去年同期飙升逾30倍。北京故宫博物院、甘肃省博物馆、大英博物馆等30余家博物馆在阿里巴巴B2C电子市场天猫推出了1000多件限量版龙相关产品。The rich cultural connotations and the good wishes that the dragon carries have not only stimulated people's passion for buying, but also satisfied their rising demand for personalized and creative products with unique cultural symbols, said Hong Yong, an associate research fellow at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation's e-commerce research institute.中国科学院国际贸易经济合作部电子商务研究所副研究员洪勇表示，龙丰富的文化内涵和美好祝愿不仅激发了人们的购买热情，也满足了人们对具有独特文化符号的个性化、创意产品日益增长的需求。"Spring Festival is the traditional festival that Chinese people attach the most importance to, and it's also a peak season for consumption," Hong said, emphasizing that brands should capitalize on traditional Chinese culture to launch more innovative products.The shopping craze for dragon-related products ahead of Lunar New Year is crucial for expanding domestic demand and promoting the recovery of the consumer market, he added.洪勇表示：“春节是中国人最重视的传统节日，也是消费旺季。品牌要结合中国传统文化，推出更多创新产品。春节前的相关产品对于扩大内需、促进消费市场复苏至关重要”。Lunar New Year春节a peak season for consumption消费旺季

Newborn babies get their first microbiome from their mother's vagina during birth.  The baby will become covered with this beneficial bacterial as they come out of the protected environment of the womb, through the birth canal, and to the world beyond.  When the baby is born vaginally, they will have a gut microbiome similar to that of their mother's vaginal and fecal flora.  This helps set up lifelong gut health.  But for babies not born vaginally, there are other ways to help insure good gut health.  Join us for a thought-provoking discussion of why microbiome is important and how to help families advocate for procedures that will be beneficial for themselves and their baby.   Toni Harman is a graduate of the London Film School and has produced and directed a number of internationally-distributed documentary films, including: MICROBIRTH (about the origins of the human microbiome), FREEDOM FOR BIRTH (about the struggle for women's rights in childbirth), and DOULA! (about the work of birth and postnatal doulas). Toni's extensive research for MICROBIRTH led to her co-authoring the books THE MICROBIRTH EFFECT and YOUR BABY's MICROBIOME. Toni is a professional speaker at international conferences about the science of the microbiome and epigenetics. She also leads the MICROBIOME COURSES online school. Toni combines knowledge gained from researching the subject for ten years with her extensive experience of running educational one-day and multiple-day workshops for adult learners.   Listen and Learn: Why microbiome is so necessary for healthy humans, starting at birth  How initial microbiome is transferred from mother to baby  What happens with the microbiome if the baby is born by cesarean  Processes other than birth that can help increase a newborn's microbiome  How we can teach these important facts to pregnant and new families  How mothers can increase the beneficial parts of their microbiome for their own health and their baby's  Resources & Mentions:  https://microbirth.com and https://microbirth.teachable.com  Get in touch with Toni Harman:  toniharman@hotmail.com   Related Products from InJoy:  Understanding Birth Curriculum

In 2016, when the NYS DOH put out a request for application to receive the Creating Breastfeeding Friendly Communities (CBFC) Grant, the Rockland County Lactation community united to support and work together for this initiative. At that time, 86.6% of new mothers in the state initiated breastfeeding, but only 56% were still breastfeeding at six months, and of those, only 17% were exclusively breastfeeding.   Patti's organization felt that connecting and supporting breastfeeding families beyond their hospital stay could make a big difference. The CBFC initiatives goal was to include physician practices, daycares, worksites, and public locations in the effort to support breastfeeding families for a longer period. Listen to find out how Patti and her practice made a change in the amount and type of education and support they were offering to their patients and how they involved their whole community in the effort.

Listen in as we discuss promoting Vaginal Nulliparous Term Singleton Vertex (NTSV) birth to decrease the risk of maternal morbidity and mortality. Dr. Lagrew agrees with a past president of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Vincenzo Berghella, who said, “Physicians do need to balance risks and benefits, and for some clinical conditions, cesarean is definitely the best mode of delivery. But for most (NTSV) pregnancies that are low risk, a cesarean delivery may pose greater risk than vaginal delivery, especially risks related to future pregnancies.” Working to decrease the number of cesareans that are not strictly for clinical conditions is something we can all work on. Educators, nurses, community health workers, and others can use the information Dr. Lagrew shares to help people avoid the first cesarean.  This will not only lower unintended outcomes of the initial cesarean like hemorrhage and infection but also prevent problems in subsequent pregnancies.    Dr. Lagrew is a maternal-fetal medicine specialist and physician informaticist with a particular interest in maternal quality improvement. He recently retired as Medical Director of Women's and Children's services for Providence St. Joseph-Southern California and as a Providence System Provider Informaticist in Obstetrics. He has started his new role as Chief of Service, Maternal Fetal Medicine at Hoag Healthcare. He holds triple board certification in Obstetrics/Gynecology, Maternal Fetal Medicine, and Clinical Informatics. In addition to these administrative and leadership roles, he continues to actively author numerous peer-reviewed publications and book chapters. He is a clinical professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at UC Irvine. He is the immediate past chair of the Society of Maternal-Fetal Medicine's Clinical Informatics Committee.    Listen and Learn:   That the absolute lowest risk delivery is a vaginal delivery after a previous vaginal delivery  The rate of cesarean birth compared to vaginal births in the US now  How an NTSV protects the woman's long-term health, especially if she plans to have more children   How midwives may have a lower cesarean rate due to their practice of admitting to the hospital later during labor  How the shared decisions help prevent primary cesarean births   How having a wide range of cesarean rates, state by state, is actually a good thing  A sneak preview of the US's ARRIVE Study compared to an upcoming study out of Canada  That robust childbirth education about risks and benefits including an explanation of complications and outcomes will benefit parents and will likely decrease the cesarean rate    Resources & Mentions:   Nation's Ob-Gyns Take Aim at Preventing Cesareans Safe Prevention of the Primary Cesarean Delivery Childbirth Connection info on cesarean resources  California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative (many states have similar organizations)  Email Dr. David Lagrew: David.Lagrew@hoag.org   Related Products from InJoy:   Understanding Pregnancy Understanding Birth  The Stages of Labor

Pregnancy and birth are often portrayed with a single brush as if all these experiences are basically the same for every birthing person. But for Lauren and her family, that was far from the truth. The anticipation of the ideal birth ended abruptly and unexpectedly when her husband arrived home early with flowers one day, finding her looking unwell. He talked Lauren into going to the doctor for a “just in case” checkup, which turned into a totally unexpected outcome for Lauren.   We will explore Lauren's story to understand how preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome impacted not just her birth but continue to impact Lauren's life to this day. In sharing her story, we will discover the tenacity of all those involved in her experience, including Lauren. During the conversation, we will discuss what, if any, warning signs were there that she didn't recognize at the time. She will give us ideas for ways to speak to our students and patients about this still largely mysterious malady that affects 5 to 8% of pregnant people (and of these, 15% of these develop HELLP syndrome). Overcoming  preeclampsia/HELLP syndrome takes not just a team but an entire village—and that is just what happened in Lauren's journey.   Lauren Ward Larsen is a storyteller, writer, speaker, advocate, and former corporate and nonprofit executive. As a professional speaker, Lauren has delivered hundreds of keynote addresses at corporate meetings, conferences, nonprofit events, and fundraisers in the U.S and Europe.  Based on her birth experience with Clare, she has added another type of storytelling to her repertoire. Educating pregnant families and medical care providers about her experience with preeclampsia has become a key component of her life.     Listen and Learn:  How the lack of information caused big trouble for Lauren: “I didn't know what I didn't know The signs to look out for regarding preeclampsia, including upper right abdominal pain How things changed for Lauren so quickly 3 days after a “normal” appointment  How her husband's unusual mid-day personal flower delivery likely saved her life While pre-existing health conditions like high blood pressure can be a predictor, others can be affected, including   Lauren, who is an active athlete How important it is for everyone in the hospital and medical community to understand the signs of preeclampsia, including the Emergency Department The importance of listening to your intuition and not taking possible symptoms lightly Zuzu's Petals is not a book for pregnant people     Resources & Mentions:  Eclampsia Foundation  Hear Her Zuzu's Petals: A True Story of Second Chances by Lauren Ward Larsen (on Amazon or other book sellers)   Lauren's website: https://laurenwardlarsen.com     Related Products from InJoy: Discussion and Warning signs in:  Understanding Birth  Understanding Postpartum Health & Baby Care 

The words bonding and attachment are common words, but what is the deeper meaning behind those words for new parents and their newborns or yet-to-be born babies?  How can parents connect with their newborn in utero?  How will the attachment before and after the baby is born affect the epigenomes, brain development, and future health of their little one?  Laurel will take us on a fascinating dive into this topic to help us translate this information to our patients, students, and clients so that more new parents will understand the benefits of attachment to their new babies.  Laurel Wilson, IBCLC, RLC, BSc, CLE, CCCE, CLD is a TEDx and international speaker, pregnancy and lactation specialist, consultant, educator, and author. Laurel is the co-author of two books, The Attachment Pregnancy and The Greatest Pregnancy Ever; original editor of The CAPPA Lactation Educator Manual; as well as a contributing author to Round the Circle: Doulas Talk About Themselves. Her passion is blending today's recent scientific findings with mind/body/spirit wisdom to highlight the magnitude and importance of the perinatal period. Spending 17 years as Executive Director for Lactation Programs for the Childbirth and Postpartum Professionals Association formed the foundation of her inquiry into the science of human milk.

This episode was recorded on 5/23/22  The students and patients that you interact with have far different expectations for learning than a K-12 student.  They are with you for a very specific reason and expect you to give them relevant information they can use right away that they can incorporate with what they already know.  Adult learners require educators to use some unique approaches that tap into both the art and science of teaching.  This episode will give you some specific tips on how to incorporate Adult Learning Principles in your classroom or virtual classes.    Our expert is Kristen Gosse, MEd, the Learning Strategist and Content Development Manager for InJoy Health Education. She has a background in professional writing and almost 14 years of experience designing content for pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and parenting health education materials. Kristen explores ways to apply adult learning theory and the psychology of motivation to health education.

In the area of high-risk pregnancies, preeclampsia poses special challenges. Kimmara Jackson, a highly experienced OB nurse and legal nurse consultant, provides a detailed analysis of how this condition is treated. Pregnant women with preeclampsia have the risk of high blood pressure, decreased kidney function, and seizures. Typically, they are confined to their hospital beds and monitored very closely for a range of symptoms, including decreased urine output, lethargy, and reflex function. One of the challenges with such patients is that they may become increasingly restless and may get out of bed. Some check themselves out of the hospital because they find confinement unbearable. Others may have other children at home who are receiving inadequate care. Preeclampsia also challenges new nursing graduates. They lack the experience to recognize symptoms of lethargy, and they may do inadequate reflex testing. Their feelings of being overwhelmed are deepened by the effect that the Covid epidemic has had in shrinking the resources of all medical personnel. https://youtu.be/dfteTBh2mWo Join me in this episode of Legal Nurse Podcast to learn about Preeclampsia - High Risk Clinical and Legal Complication What are some of the challenges of treating a woman with preeclampsia? How does preeclampsia affect kidney function? What symptoms of distress are difficult for new nurses to discern? How has the Covid epidemic made learning on the job particularly difficult for new nurses? How can experienced nurses communicate standards of care to newer ones?
