@amit-r Although past studies have shown incidence rates of 10% to 30% for maternal depression, which can often lead to negative family and child development outcomes, studies focusing on paternal depression are troubled by "clinical heterogeneity and prevalence estimates that vary considerably

@ritabhari The results suggest physicians should stop "automatically prescribing opioids for caesarean section patients at discharge and, instead, work on individualized prescribing. With "no standard dose recommendation for physicians to follow when it came to prescribing opioids for post-cesarean pain management.

Federal regulators have given permission to Abbott Nutrition to release some of its infant formula included in a recent recall to families who desperately need it on a case-by-case basis. The formulas were produced at Abbott's facility in Sturgis, MI, this year and carry a risk of being contaminated, the FDA said. But the company may release products to families "needing urgent, life-sustaining supplies" of certain formulas.

@abhiraj From a large patient data registry, researchers identified 41 cases of TTS and 63 controls matched for age, sex, race, and health status. All participants had suspected malignancy and had undergone whole-body fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) scanning at Massachusetts General Hospital from 2005-2019. The median age of the study population was 67.5 years, 72% were female, and most (89.4%) were White. In the TTS group, four patients had recurrence of this condition.

In recent decades, natural products have had increased consumer attention in industrialized nations. One of the challenges is that "natural" can be more of a perception than a standard. "Herbal products" is a more frequently used and perhaps a more apt term. Herbal products come in many forms, including herbs used in food preparation, teas, infusions, caplets, dried extracts, essential oils, and tinctures.

@taniya Children enrolled in these trials were 3 years old to younger than 13 years, with unilateral amblyopia and 20/40 to 20/400 visual acuity in the amblyopic eye. The main study endpoint was improvement in logMAR amblyopic eye visual acuity, after adjustment for baseline amblyopic eye visual acuity, spherical equivalent refractive error in the amblyopic eye, type of amblyopia, previous treatment of amblyopia, study treatment, and protocol. Because there was a nonlinear association between age and improvement in amblyopic eye visual acuity, 3 age groups were analyzed separately (3 to < 5 years, 5 to < 7 years, and 7 to < 13 years).

@monami-s As reported by Medscape Medical News, the purified CBD formulation used in the trial (Epidiolex, GW Pharmaceuticals) was approved in 2018 by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), two treatment-resistant forms of epilepsy. CBD, a chemical component of the cannabis sativa plant, does not cause users to become high. TSC affects an estimated 1 in 5500 individuals. It is caused by defects in the TSC1 and TSC2 genes that negatively control the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway and cause abnormal growth of cells in organ systems, most notably in the skin and brain

A new review suggests that micronutrient supplementation — particularly a combination of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), zinc, copper, selenium, and iron — might be a potential strategy to improve myocardial function in patients with heart failure (HF) by improving mitochondrial function. Macronutrients, such as fatty acids, lactic acid, and carbohydrates, are the main energy sources for cardiomyocytes and are consumed in large quantities, but micronutrients — including vitamins, minerals, and essential amino acids — are also necessary to convert these macronutrients into energy and are required in very small amounts, which a healthy diet normally produces.

@amit-r Omicron Is Fast Moving, but Perhaps Less Severe, Early Reports Suggest. Researchers in South Africa, where the variant is spreading quickly, say it may cause less serious Covid cases than other forms of the virus, but it is unclear whether that will hold true.
