Birth injuries is an impairment of the infant’s body function or structure due to adverse influences that occurred at birth. Injury commonly occurs during labor or delivery.
Dystocia literally means difficult labor and is characterized by abnormally
slow labor progress.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. BIRTH TRAUMA
Introduction
Birth trauma is a neonatal injury caused by prolonged,obstructed labor
and difficult instrumental deliveries.
They may be avoidable .
It is a common problem with significant neonatal morbidity and mortality.
most common neonatal injuries affect a baby’s head, neck, and shoulders .
with an average of 6-8 injures per 1000 live birth.
In Ethiopia tertiary referral hospital 3.26 per1000 live birth,83.9% vaginal delivery
and 16.1% c/s delivery.

4. Risk Factors
Maternal factor ; premigravida ,cephalo pelvic disproportion ,Small
maternal height
Fetal factor ; low birth weight, Fetal macrosomia or large fetal head, Mal
presentation and malposition ,fetal anomalies.
Delivery factor; Prolonged or precipitated labour ,Instrumental delivery,
Versions and extraction.

6. Head trauma
Head trauma can include superficial lesions, exteracranial and intracranial
hemorrhages, and fractures of the skull bone.
Caput succedaneum
• It is a commonly occurring subcutaneous extra periosteal fluid collection that
is occasionally hemorrhagic.
• It has poorly defined margins and can extend over the midline and across suture lines.
5/9/2023
Birth trauma by Gadisa T 6
7. Caput succedaneum....
• It extends over the presenting portion of the scalp and is usually associated
with molding.
• The lesion usually resolves spontaneously without sequelae over first several
days after birth.
• It rarely causes significant blood loss or jaundice.
• Dx ,clinical
• Mgt, not needed
5/9/2023
Birth trauma by Gadisa T 7
9. Cephalhematoma
It is a sub periosteal collection of blood resulting from rupture of the
superficial veins between the skull and periosteum.
It is always confined by suture lines and cannot cross the suture lines.
Extensive cephalhematoma can result in significant hyperbilirubinemia and rarely
serious enough to necessitate blood transfusion .
The risk of infection is very rare .
Skull fractures have been associated with 5 – 20% of cases.
5/9/2023
Birth trauma by Gadisa T 9
11. Cephalhematoma....
• Management:-
- Observation in most cases
- Incision and aspiration is contraindicated.
- Anemia and jaundice should be treated as needed
5/9/2023
Birth trauma by Gadisa T 11
12. Subgaleal hemorrhage
It is Collection of blood in the soft tissue space between the aponeurosis and the
periosteum of the skull .
subaponeurotic space extends from the orbital ridges to the nap of the
neck and laterally to the ears.
The hemorrhage can spread across the entire calvarium.
The clinical presentation typically includes pallor, poor tone, and a fluctuant
swelling
on the scalp which cross the suture lines and fontanels.
The hematoma may grow slowly or increase rapidly and result in shock.
5/9/2023
Birth trauma by Gadisa T 12
13. Subgaleal hemorrhage.....
With progressive spread the ears may be displaced anteriorly and periorbital
swelling can occur.
Ecchymosis of the scalp may develop and it is very painful on manipulation
The blood is desorbed slowly and swelling resolves gradually
A Subgaleal hemorrhage associated with skin abrasions may become
infected, it should be treated with antibiotics and may need drainage.
5/9/2023
Birth trauma by Gadisa T 13
15. Subgaleal hemorrhage.....
• Management
1. New born with this lesion should be admitted
2. Assess and treat shock
3. Daily HC measurement and HCT follow-up
4. Minimize manipulation because it is painful
5. Manage anemia and jaundice if needed.
• N.B.: SGH should be considered in infants who show signs of
hypoperfusion and falling Hct after attempted or successful vacuum
delivery, even in the absence of a detectable fluctuant mass.
5/9/2023
Birth trauma by Gadisa T 15
16. Skull fracture
Skull fracture may be either linear or depressed
Depressed skull fractures are usually associated with forceps use
Most infants are asymptomatic unless there is an associated intracranial
hemorrhage (eg, subdural or subarachnoid hemorrhage)
diagnosis
made by skull X-ray
If there is suspicion of intracranial injury or neurologic symptoms Head CT scan
or MRI is recommended.
5/9/2023
Birth trauma by Gadisa T 16
17. Skull fracture.....
Management
Uncomplicated linear fractures usually requires no therapy.
Depressed fractures require neurological evaluation for possible elevation needed.
large fractures with neurologic findings need immediate neurologic
evaluation.
If leakage of CSF from the nares or ears is noted, antibiotic therapy
should be started and neurosurgical consultation obtained
5/9/2023
Birth trauma by Gadisa T 17
18. Brachial plexus injury
• The cause is excessive traction on the head, neck, and arm during birth.
• Risk factors include macrosomia, shoulder dystocia, breech presentation.
• Injury usually involves the nerve root, specially where the roots come
together to form the nerve trunk of the plexus.
5/9/2023
Birth trauma by Gadisa T 18
19. Erb’s palsy
Involves the upper trunks (C5,C6 and occasionally C7) and is the most common
type of brachial plexus injury.
Clinical presentation
• The arm is typically adducted and internally rotated at the shoulder
• There is extension and pronation at the elbow and flexion at the wrist and
fingers in the characteristic “waiter’s tip” posture
• Moro is absent on the affected side
• The grasp reflex is intact and sensation is variably affected 5/9/2023
Birth trauma by Gadisa T
19
20. Kulmpke’s palsy
• Involves injury C7/C8 to T1 and is the least common injury
• In this case the grasp reflex is absent
• there is sensory impairment on the ulnar side of the forearm and hand .
Management of brachial plexus injury
physical therapy and passive range of motion exercises prevent contractures
It should be started at 7 -10 days when the post injury neuritis recovered
Splinting should be avoided as contractures in the shoulder girdle may develop
Wrist and digits splints may be useful.
5/9/2023

22. Prognosis
clinical improvement in the first two weeks indicates that normal or near normal
function will return.
Most infants full recovery.
Most infants recover fully by three months of age.
Recovery varies with the extent of injury.
If the nerve roots are intact and not avulsed, prognosis for full recovery is excellent.
In case with slow recovery, electromyography and nerve conduction studies are indicated.
5/9/2023
Birth trauma by Gadisa T 22
23. Phrenic nerve injury (C3, 4 or 5 )
• Phrenic nerve injury leading to paralysis of the ipsilateral diaphragm may result from
stretch injury due to lateral hyperextension of the neck at birth.
• Risk factors include breech and difficult forceps deliveries
• At least 75%of patients also have brachial plexus injury
Clinical features
• Respiratory distress and cyanosis
• Some infants present with persistent tachypnea and decreased breath sounds at the
affected side.
• There may be decreased movement of the affected hemi thorax 5/9/2023
Birth trauma by Gadisa T
23
24. Diagnosis
• confirmed by U/S that shows paradoxical (upward) movement of the diaphragm
with inspiration
• C-X-ray may show elevation of the affected hemi thorax
Management
the initial treatment is supportive
CPAP or mechanical ventilation may be needed
Careful air way care to avoid atelectasis and pneumonia
5/9/2023
Birth trauma by Gadisa T 24
25. Facial Nerve injury
Is the most common cranial nerve injured with a traumatic
birth.
it occurs in up to 10 per 1000 live birth
usually a result of pressure on the facial nerve by forceps or from a prominent
maternal sacral promontory during descent.
Clinical manifestations
include diminished movement or loss of motion on the affected side of the face.
The prognosis in traumatic facial nerve injury is good, with
spontaneous resolution usually noted within the first few weeks of life. 5/9/2023
Birth trauma by Gadisa T

27. Management
observation
provide the eye drop to lubricating
resolve with in a week if doesn't consult
5/9/2023
Birth trauma by Gadisa T 27
Facial Nerve injury.....
28. laryngeal Nerve injury
• Associated with abnormal intrauterine position and excessive lateral flexion
or traction or traction of head during delivery.
Clinical manifestations
baby will have a hoarse cry as well as inspiratory stridor due to inability to
open the vocal cord on the affected side.
There may also be problems with feeding.
Diagnosis
If suspected direct laryngoscopy
5/9/2023
Birth trauma by Gadisa T 28
29. Management
primary concern is feeding and risk of aspiration.
Do smaller and risk more frequent feeing to reduce risk of aspiration.
Typically self resolves within 4 to 6 wks.
5/9/2023
Birth trauma by Gadisa T 29
30. Bone injuries
Clavicular fracture
• Is the most commonly injured bone during delivery.
This fracture is seen in vertex presentations with shoulder dystocia or in breech
deliveries when the arms are extended.
Macrosomia is a risk factor.
A green stick or incomplete fracture may be asymptomatic at birth.

Clinical manifestations
The first clinical sign may be a callus at 7 – 10 days of age.
Signs of a complete fracture include crepitus, palpable bony
irregularity, and spasm of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
The affected arm may have a pseudo paralysis because of pain on
movement.
Absent Moro reflex on the involved side

33. Long bone injuries
Humeral fracture
This fracture usually occurs during a difficult delivery of the arms in the
breech presentation and/or of the shoulder in vertex presentation.
Direct pressure on the hummers may also result in fracture.

Birth trauma by Gadisa T 36
37. Intra abdominal injuries
Hepatic injury
Liver is the most commonly injured solid organ during birth.
Risk factors include macrosomia, hepatomegaly, and breech
presentation.
The etiology is thought to be direct pressure on the liver .
