Ethical Issues

Ethical Issues

Nurses are essential in patient care, upholding the ethical principles of their profession and effectively navigating ethical dilemmas. Neglecting ethical issues can lead to inadequate patient care, compromised therapeutic relationships, and moral distress among healthcare workers.

International Nursing Organizations II

International Nursing Organizations II

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Geneva. The WHO has many initiatives that center around health. Primarily, they lead global efforts to expand universal health coverage using science-based policies and programs. They are also responsible for shaping health research agendas and developing norms and standards.
The WHO provides expert team support, including funding, vaccines, testing, and treatment tools at the country level to fight...

Fetal Circulation

Fetal Circulation

Fetal circulation is a unique system that facilitates the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the developing fetus and the mother. This intricate process takes place through a special organ called the placenta.
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...

Development of the Oral Microbiota

Development of the Oral Microbiota

The establishment of the oral microbiome begins before birth, challenging the long-held belief that the fetal oral cavity is sterile. The presence of oral microbes such as Streptococcus and Fusobacterium in amniotic fluid suggests that microbial exposure may occur in utero, potentially through translocation from the maternal oral or gastrointestinal tract. This early colonization primes the neonatal immune system and sets the stage for subsequent microbial succession. Maternal health,...

Teratogenicity

Teratogenicity

The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

International Nursing Organizations I

International Nursing Organizations I

International Nursing Organization (ICN) is a global union of national nurses' organizations. Individual nurses can be a part of ICN through member organizations. Each member organization strives to ensure quality nursing care, sound health policies, the advancement of nursing knowledge, respect for the profession, and a satisfied and competent nursing workforce.
ICN member organizations work to advance the field of nursing and healthcare via policies, partnerships, lobbying, professional...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

New guidelines address stillbirth (SB) by defining a minimum gestational age of 22 weeks for reporting. Recommendations emphasize diagnostic work-ups, multidisciplinary audits, and parental support to improve stillbirth prevention strategies.

Area of Science:

Perinatal Medicine
Obstetrics
Public Health

Background:

Stillbirth remains under-addressed clinically and statistically.
The European Association of Perinatal Medicine convened a Study Group to review stillbirth issues.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish standardized definitions and clinical guidelines for stillbirth.
To recommend strategies for causality assessment and parental support.
To advocate for research funding to develop preventative measures.

Main Methods:

Review of existing literature and clinical practices.
Discussion and finalization of recommendations in an open workshop.
Emphasis on multidisciplinary audit and parental counseling.

Main Results:

Endorsement of at least 22 completed weeks of gestation as the definition for stillbirth inclusion in statistics and studies.
Suggestion of a minimum diagnostic work-up protocol.
Highlighting the importance of local, multidisciplinary audits for understanding causality.

Conclusions:

Standardized definitions and diagnostic approaches are crucial for stillbirth management.
Multidisciplinary audits and parental support are essential components of clinical care.
International, collaborative research funding is mandatory for effective stillbirth prevention.
