Another successful study using the new version of desperate Debra - out soon! …pregnancychildbirth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

We successfully identified distinct RNA profiles in maternal plasma that are predictive of early and very early sPTB. Interesting insight into mechanism of preterm labour. School of Life Course & Population Sciences. Rachel Tribe doi.org/10.1016/j.ajog…

CTs on cervices from our cerclage simulator. Interesting variation in suture placement by our “experts”. Another genius idea from the percipient Graham Tydeman. limbsandthings.com › productsCervical Cerclage Module (CCM) - PROMPT Flex - Limbs & Things ⁦graham t⁩

Only Graham Tydeman could make a picture out of Tydeman Tubes and frame it as a birthday present. I’m not letting on how old I am though. 😅⁦graham t⁩

Contact cerysmatthews.co.uk/contact/#.Ym5i…. Hi Cerys, particularly great show today. Supposed to be fixing my boat on the west coast but mainly listening and looking at the sun on Mull.

30 studies, n= 1.25 children; a single course of ACS was associated with a decrease in neurodevelopmental impairment in those born #preterm, but with an increase in neurocognitive/psychological impairment in those subsequently born late preterm or term jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

Delighted to be part of this grouping. This is what happens when you have different professional groups with diverse skills and experience sharing the same coffee room. 😅

Full paper now available. In infants of women with late preterm pre-eclampsia, the average neurodevelopmental assessment at 2 years lies within the normal range, regardless of whether planned delivery or expectant management was pursued. doi.org/10.1111/1471-0…

Having had great care when mine was removed a few months ago, seemed reasonable to do something in return: another 52 of a 200 mile target added today to raise money for prostate cancer research. If you can spare a few quid please do. cyclethemonth.prostatecanceruk.org/fundraising/g2…

Yes, he really did just make this disgusting comment to Tory MPs. Please RT if, like me, you want him gone.

I am talking about antenatal steroid use on the 17th August 4 pm. BST. Or listen to the recording. Free to register. I think we can use them far more effectively. eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

If you have a chance, give blood. The family ask. Andrew had 14 operations and 100 units of blood during 7 weeks in ITU. His life was saved at least 7 times by transfusions. Alas, injuries too series. But you could help save someone. Please retweet.

Second-stage C-section more than doubles the risk of preterm delivery in a subsequent pregnancy, and the risk is greater still if this full-dilatation C-section follows a prolonged second stage of labour. obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/14…

Timely. Today in the Lancet. Resonates with what I was saying this week….they recommend using our QUiPP App. “Only 16–17% of the fetuses in the current study were exposed to antenatal corticosteroids within the optimal window of 7 days before birth…..” doi.org/10.1016/S0140-…

There's still time for you to add your name: change.org/p/hike-the-win…

She was groomed by dark-money lobby groups working for Big Tobacco, Big Oil and foreign oligarchs. Now Liz Truss is in office and trashing this country on their behalf.
