Abstract This paper presents a rapid evidence review into the clinical and psychological impacts of COVID-19 on perinatal women their infants. Literature search revealed that there is very little formal impact pregnant, labouring postnatal or babies. The to date suggests pregnant childbearing women, babies are not at increased risk either getting infected, having severe symptoms consequences than population as whole. There no short- longer-term restrictive practices social personal...
Objectives To explore stakeholders’ and national organisational perspectives on companionship for women/birthing people using antenatal intrapartum care in England during COVID-19, as part of the Achieving Safe Personalised maternity In Response to Epidemics (ASPIRE) COVID-19 UK study. Setting Maternity provision England. Participants Interviews were held with 26 governmental, professional service-user organisation leads (July–December 2020). Other data included public-facing outputs logged...
Understanding the effects of birthing positions on labour is crucial for optimising maternal and foetal outcomes. Upright are encouraged but their biomechanics not fully understood. Biomechanical changes during can make certain more or less favourable depending individual physical characteristics. these factors essential tailoring strategies that enhance comfort facilitate labour. This study aimed to quantify seven common upright positions, comparing biomechanical characteristics evaluating...
High numbers of women experience a traumatic birth, which can lead to childbirth-related post-traumatic stress disorder (CB-PTSD) onset, and negative pervasive impacts for women, infants, families. Policies, suitable service provision, training are needed identify treat psychological morbidity following birth experience, but currently there is little insight into whether what provided in different contexts. The aim this knowledge mapping exercise was map policy, provision European...

The national health care response to coronavirus (COVID-19) has varied between countries. United Kingdom (UK) and the Netherlands (NL) have comparable maternity neonatal systems, experienced similar numbers of COVID-19 infections, but had different organisational responses pandemic. Understanding why how similarities differences occurred in these two contexts could inform optimal normal circumstances, during future crises.To compare UK Dutch three key domains: choice birthplace,...
Background The COVID-19 pandemic had a severe impact on women’s birth experiences. To date, there are no studies that use both quantitative and qualitative data to compare experiences before during the pandemic, across more than one country. Aim examine of women who gave in United Kingdom (UK) or Netherlands (NL) either pandemic. Method This study is based analyses from online Babies Born Better survey. Responses recorded by giving UK NL between June December 2020 have been used,...

Abstract The aim of this prospective longitudinal study was to examine the association between Cesarean section (CS) and child development behavior. sample consisted 256 children who were born at term without serious perinatal pathologies. Their behavior assessed age four using Ages Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3), Children’s Behavior Strength Difficulties Questionnaire. Multivariate linear regression analyses conducted assess CS outcomes. associated with better scores in Problem Solving domain...

On whole, twenty five patients with twenty-five suffering extremities were treated. Five them simultaneously had Hallux Valgus type deformity and that supports belief mechanical...
Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI) has much potential in the field of maternal-fetal health and wellbeing research. The fact that it is totally non-invasive particularly important this context. purpose study was, for first time, to assess DITI's ability record fetal presentation position, other pregnancy-related physiological factors, via their superficial thermal prints. Ten healthy pregnant women (approximately 34–37 weeks gestation) were recorded with two imaging cameras (Flir C3 i3...

Although it is known that a change in any level of the spine alters biomechanics, there are not many studies to evaluate as whole both sagittal and frontal planes. This prospective cohort study evaluates morphology mobility entire patients with vertebral fractures. The Treatment Group consisted 43 who underwent percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty or plus fixation. Control 39 healthy subjects. Spinal Mouse was used for assessment curvatures spine. Clinical outcomes were evaluated by Visual...
