Hospitals In 5 States Clamp Down On Delivering Babies Before 39 Weeks

SHORT TAKES ON NEWS & EVENTS

When hospitals commit to stopping the delivery of babies before 39 weeks gestation unless there is medical cause to do so, they can dramatically lower rates that can put babies at increased risk for serious health problems.

$\"\"$ A study published Monday in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology showed a group of 25 hospitals in five states were able to cut their rates of elective early deliveries from nearly 28 percent to under 5 percent in one year. The March of Dimes, which partly funded the study and assisted the hospitals in setting up new policies and procedures, said the findings show hospitals can overcome cultural and economic barriers to lower their rates.

\”We are really moving the goal line for hospitals and doctors who may have thought delivering a baby at 37 weeks was going to be fine,\” said Dr. Edward R.B. McCabe, medical director of the March of Dimes. \”We have learned in recent years that babies born at 37 and 38 weeks are at higher risk of death and other problems.\”

The American College of Obstetrics & Gynecology has recommended for nearly three decades that doctors and hospitals wait until at least 39 weeks to perform elective inductions or Cesarean sections. But rates have remained stubbornly high because either women did not know about the risk or doctors delivered babies early as a convenience to themselves or their patients. An estimated 10 to 15 percent of U.S. babies every year are delivered early without medical cause, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. Babies born before 39 weeks are more likely to have feeding, breathing and developmental problems than those born at 39 or 40 weeks.

Bell Oaks Fashion Show A Success

Charitable Students – Eighth Grade students, under the direction of teachers Carol Holt and Gina Catrambone, are pictured at the Fourth Annual Bell Oaks Fashion Show, which was dedicated in memory of Officer \”Bobby\” Swanson. By participating in the Fashion show, students are taught life skills and raise an awareness for charity.

The annual Bell Oaks Fashion Show is a popular, highly anticipated event at the middle school for both students and staff alike. It is the brainchild of physical education teacher, Carol Holt, who came up with the idea after she observed that students did not know basic etiquette.

Four years ago, Holt sought to host an event that would teach students necessary life skills, such as setting a table.

That idea has blossomed into the major production that it is today: a combined fashion show and three-course sit down dinner prepared and served by eighth grade students. The proceeds of the ticket sales are donated to charity.

Planning and preparations began in January. Students who are mentors and peer mediators of the eighth grade class are eligible to participate in the fashion show. This year, 54 students were involved.

Leave the Chocolate Out of Rover’s Celebrations

Posted on April 9, 2013 by FDA Voice

By: Bernadette Dunham, DVM, PhD, and Carmen Stamper, DVM

Holidays and chocolate seem to go together. For birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day and many other holidays — chocolate is everywhere. But, there is someplace chocolate should never be, and that’s in your dog. Chocolate is toxic to dogs and can kill them. And since a lot of the chocolate treats might be the kids’, make sure to pass along the message to them to never give chocolate to Rover.
