"Some clear warnings from it: Infants shouldn’t sleep with blankets, stuffed toys, or bumpers that 'can potentially lead to suffocation or strangulation,' said Samantha St. John, program coordinator for Cook Children’s Health Care System in Fort Worth, Texas. They also should sleep in cribs or bassinets — not on beds with siblings or in parents’ arms."

This is why I love those Finnish baby boxes.

Anyone use .ai or other tools to complete notes?
Even in the simpler model, taking notes is distracting while talking to patients and finishing notes later so that they are useful to others is a time consuming chore.
No relationship to freed.ai nor any other software, just hate this task and starting to read good things from colleagues online.

From @STAT:
"A new paper suggests a simple fix to the primary care physician shortage"

TLDR? Have ( ) pay them more. too

This has been discussed in the media and a big subject of advocacy for decades but apparently you can still publish a paper about it now.

allows physicians and patients to fix without waiting for this.

"Some 42 million children who come from low-income families or have a disability are covered by Medicaid and the related Children's Health Insurance Program. Schools offer a convenient setting to provide health care services to many of those kids — in addition to disability services required by law — but many states haven't been taking advantage of funding that's long been available through Medicaid and CHIP."

"Texas families and doctors are suing the state to block Senate Bill 14 from going into effect Sept. 1. That new law would ban transgender youth from taking puberty blockers, receiving hormone therapies and having surgery, the latter of which is rarely performed on minors...The plaintiffs assert that the new law violates their parental rights and interferes with their ability to practice medicine."

"Some families facing a diaper crisis can get help from federal assistance programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Women, Infants and Children (WIC), but more families fall in a precarious and often invisible gap: Like Montero, they make 'too much' to qualify for federal aid, but they don’t make enough to meet their children’s basic needs, including diapers."

"The American Academy of Pediatrics backed gender-related treatments for children on Thursday, reaffirming its position from 2018 on a medical approach that has since been banned in 19 states.

But the influential group of doctors also took an extra step of commissioning a systematic review of medical research on the treatments, following similar efforts in Europe that found uncertain evidence for their effectiveness in adolescents."

Assessing infant growth curves can be confusing, especially for who have a child who is not growing in the normal range, or a clinician treating them. Digging into the data & behind growth curves reveals how to improve their quality & use.

@Gustaf @joacim Jepp, funkar det som det är tänkt så kommer du, om du följer hashtaggen till exempel, få alla posts med den taggen i ditt flöde. Men eftersom många medicinska tidskrifter har RSS-flöde skulle man kunna samla alla dessa flöden i en och samma mastodon-bot. @stefanjohansson
