Antenatal care involves comprehensive health supervision and guidance for pregnant women from conception through delivery. Its goals are to reduce maternal and infant mortality and morbidity. Regular checkups are recommended which include physical exams, screening tests, health education, and monitoring for potential complications. Common discomforts of pregnancy like fatigue, back pain, and nausea are discussed along with relief measures. Screening recommendations are provided for conditions like gestational diabetes, anaemia, and infections. Nutritional supplements like folic acid and vitamin D are also addressed.
Fourth stage of labor: The hour or two after delivery when the tone of the uterus is reestablished as the uterus contracts again, expelling any remaining contents. These contractions are hastened by breastfeeding, which stimulates production of the hormone oxytocin.

Antenatal care is the clinical examination, observation, and follow up of the mother and fetus during pregnancy, for the purpose of obtaining the best possible health for the mother and child.
Health education on Antenatal care include definition,aim, objectives, registration, antenatal check up, immunization, iron & folic acid, diet, bowel care, cleanliness, clothing, shoes, dental care, care of breast, sleep, exercise, coitus, travel, smoking & alcohol, family support & dangers signs during pregnancy.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
2. Definition of Antenatal care
comprehensive health supervision of a
pregnant woman before delivery
Or it is planned examination, observation
and guidance given to the pregnant
woman from conception till the time of
labor.
3. Goals
To reduce maternal and perinatal
mortality and morbidity rates
To improve the physical and mental
health of women and children
4. Importance of Antenatal Care
To ensure that the pregnant woman and her
fetus are in the best possible health.
To detect early and treat properly
complications
Offering education for parenthood
To prepare the woman for labor, lactation and
care of her infant
5. Schedule for Antenatal Visits:
The first visit or initial visit should be made
as early is pregnancy as possible.
Return Visits:
Once every month till 28 w.
Once every 2 weeks till the 36 w
Once every week, till labor.
6. Frequency of antenatal appointments
NulliparousNulliparous with an uncomplicated pregnancy,
a schedule of 10 appointments.
ParousParous with an uncomplicated pregnancy, a
schedule of 7 appointments.
9. Fetal kick count
The pregnant woman reports at
least 10 movements in 12 hours.
Absence of fetal movements
precedes intrauterine fetal death
by 48 hours.
10. Physical Examinations
Height of over 150 cm indication of an
average-sized pelvis
The approximate weight gain during
pregnancy is 12 kg.; 2kg in the first 20
weeks and 10 kg in the remaining 20
weeks (1.5 kg per week until term).
11. Symphysis–fundal height should be
measured and recorded at each
antenatal appointment from 24 weeks.
Fetal presentation should be assessed
by abdominal palpation at 36 weeks.
12. Fetal heart sound is heard by sonicaid
as early as 10thweek of pregnancy.
Fetal heart sound is heard by Pinard' s
fetal stethoscope after the 20thweek of
pregnancy.

17. Common Discomforts of Pregnancy,
Etiology, and Relief Measures:
Urinary frequency
RELIEF MEASURES:
Decrease fluid intake at night.
Maintain fluid intake during day.
Void when feel the urge.
22. Nausea and vomiting
•most cases of nausea and vomiting in
pregnancy will resolve spontaneously within 16
to 20 weeks.
•that nausea and vomiting are not usually
associated with a poor pregnancy outcome.
•non-pharmacological:non-pharmacological:
•ginger
•P6 (wrist) acupressure
•pharmacological:pharmacological:
•antihistamines.
23. Nausea and vomiting
RELIEF MEASURES:
Avoid food or smells that exacerbate condition.
Eat dry crackers or toast before rising in
morning.
Eat small, frequent meals.
Avoid sudden movements. Get out of bed slowly
Breath fresh air to help relieve nausea.
33. Asymptomatic Bacteriuria
Women should be offered routine
screening for asymptomatic bacteriuria
by midstream urine culture early in
pregnancy. Identification and treatment
of asymptomatic bacteriuria reduces the
risk of pyelonephritis.
34. Gestational age assessment
New Pregnant women should be offered an early ultrasound
scan between 10 weeks 0 days and 13 weeks 6 days to
determine gestational agegestational age and to detect multiple pregnanciesdetect multiple pregnancies.
New Crown–rump length measurement should be used to
determine gestational age. If the crown–rump length is above 84
mm, the gestational age should be estimated using headhead
circumference.circumference.
35. Screening for fetal anomalies
New The 'combined test' (nuchal translucency,
beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin, pregnancy-
associated plasma protein-A) should be offered to
screen for Down's syndrome between 11 weeks 0
days and 13 weeks 6 days.
36. For women who book later in pregnancy the most
clinically and cost-effective serum screening test
(triple or quadruple test) should be offered between
15 weeks 0 days and 20 weeks 0 days.
37. Screening for gestational diabetes
New risk factors for gestational diabetes :
body mass index above 30 kg/m2
previous macrosomic baby weighing 4.5 kg or above
previous gestational diabetes (refer to 'Diabetes in pregnancy
family history of diabetes (first-degree relative with diabetes)
family origin with a high prevalence of diabetes:
South Asian (specifically women whose country of family origin is India, Pakistan or
Bangladesh)
black Caribbean
Middle Eastern (specifically women whose country of family origin is Saudi Arabia,
United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Lebanon or Egypt).
38. Screening for haematological conditions
New Screening for sickle cell diseases
and thalassaemias should be offered to
all women as early as possible in
pregnancy (ideally by 10 weeks).
39. Anaemia
Screening shouldtake place early in
pregnancy (at the booking appointment).
at 28 weeks when other blood screening
tests are being performed.
At 36 weeks.
40. Normal range:
11 g/100 ml11 g/100 ml at first contact and 10.510.5
g/100g/100 ml at 28 weeks) should be
investigated and iron supplementation
considered .
41. Blood grouping and red-cell alloantibodies
Women should be offered testing for
blood group and rhesus D status in early
pregnancy.
To give anti-D at 28 weeks and post
delivery if the baby (+)
42. Hepatitis B virus
Serological screening for hepatitis B
virus should be offered to pregnant
women so that effective postnatal
interventions can be offered to infected
women to decrease the risk of mother-
to-child transmission.
43. Hepatitis C virus
Pregnant women should notnot be offered
routine screening for hepatitis C virus
because there is insufficient evidence to
support its clinical and cost
effectiveness.
44. Rubella
Rubella susceptibility screening should
be offered early in antenatal care to
identify women at risk of contracting
rubella infection and to enable
vaccination in the postnatal period for
the protection of future pregnancies.
46. Folic Acid
Start before conception and throughout the
first 12 weeks.
reduces the risk of having a baby with a neural
tube defect (for example, anencephaly or
spina bifida).
The recommended dose is 400 micrograms
per day.
47. Vitamin D
New women at greatest risk are following advice to take this daily
supplement. These include:
women of South Asian, African, Caribbean or Middle Eastern family origin
women who have limited exposure to sunlight, such as women who are
predominantly housebound, or usually remain covered when outdoors
women who eat a diet particularly low in vitamin D, such as women who
consume no oily fish, eggs, meat, vitamin D-fortified margarine or
breakfast cereal
women with a pre-pregnancy body mass index above 30 kg/m2
.
48. Vitamin A
Vitamin A supplementation (intake above
700 micrograms700 micrograms) might be teratogenic
and should therefore be avoided
49. Iron
Iron supplementation should notnot be
offered routinely to all pregnant women.
It does not benefit the mother's or the
baby's health and may have unpleasant
maternal side effects.
