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.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
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

3. CHOOSING AN OB-GYN
OR MIDWIFE
Choosing between an OB-GYN and a CNM is easier if you first pinpoint
what is essential to you in a provider. This may be their credentials, their
views about pain medication, whether they will be at your side throughout
your labor and delivery, or the location of their office as it relates to your
home. Take a moment to write down your priorities, keeping in mind that
you may have to make some concessions along the way..

4. CHOOSING AN OB-GYN
MIDWIFE(CONT.)
hen should I begin looking?
he optimal time to locate a prenatal provider is before you conceive. There are
a number of advantages to getting an early start. You can take your time
finding someone you really like without the added pressure of needing
immediate prenatal care. You will also avoid putting your future developing
embryo at risk by adopting the health and wellness information covered in
preconception visits. These include eating right, getting enough exercise,
taking folic acid and prenatal vitamins, and abstaining from alcohol, tobacco,
and drugs. Both OB-GYNs and CNMs see clients for preconception visits. If
possible, make the appointment at a time when both you and your partner can
5. HOW TO APPLY FOR
MEDAICAID
1 Call the Human Resources Department or Social Services
in your county. Explain that you are calling for a Medicaid for
Pregnant Women application. Usually, you can pick it up or
they send it to you through the mail. Fill out all the necessary
paperwork and return it to the office.
2 Get your paperwork organized. As with other Medicaid
applications, you have to provide proof of income, residency,
and everyone living in your home. You need to locate social
security cards and your driver's license.
In addition, Medicaid for Pregnant women ask for proof of
pregnancy. This doesn't mean bringing the pregnancy test
from home. You need a medical expert to provide proof of
pregnancy
6. HOW TO APPLY FOR MEDICAID
3 Make an appointment when the Medicaid office calls you. Take in all
of the paperwork from step 2. They usually let you know that day if
you qualify.
Even if you think you may not qualify, if you are uninsured, apply anyway.
4Keep all medical bills from the pregnancy, before getting on Medicaid for
Pregnant Women. The state reimburses you for this. On the day of the
appointment, speak to the Medicaid worker about the past bills

9. WHAT TYPE OF FOOD SHOULD
PREGNANT WOMEN EAT?
A well-balanced diet should contain something from all the food groups: dairy
products, fruit, vegetables, fish, meat, eggs, fat and carbohydrates. A pregnant woman
needs to eat something from all these food groups every day in order to get the proper
amounts of energy.
Approximately 10 per cent of calories should come from protein. Protein is mainly
found in meat, fish, eggs, dairy products and beans.
Approximately 35 per cent of calories should come from fat, which is mainly found in
butter, oils, margarine, dairy products and nuts.
Approximately 55 per cent of calories should come from carbohydrates, which are
found in bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, corn and other grain products.

11. What are prenatal vitamins
For a mother's health, and the health of her baby, she is advised to take
"prenatal vitamins" during pregnancy. These are specially formulated
multivitamins that make up for any nutritional deficiencies in the mother's
diet. While the supplements contain numerous vitamins and minerals, their
folic acid, iron, and calcium content are especially important.
12. WHY?
Why do pregnant women need folic acid, iron and calcium?
Folic acid can reduce your risk of having a baby with a serious birth defect
of the brain and spinal cord, called the ‘neural tube.’ A baby with spina
bifida, the most common neural tube defect, is born with a spine that is
not closed. The exposed nerves are damaged, leaving the child with varying
degrees of paralysis, incontinence, and sometimes mental retardation.

15. NATURAL CHILD BIRTH
any women with low-risk pregnancies choose to go au natural to avoid
any possible risks that medications could pose for the mother or baby.
Pain medications can affect your labor — your blood pressure might
drop, your labor might slow down or speed up, you might become
nauseous, and you might feel a sense of lack of control.
ut many women choose natural childbirth to feel more in touch with the
birth experience and to deal with labor in a proactive manner.
16. WHAT IS A WATER BIRTH
magine your own personal pool, centered in a room filled
with soft light, your favorite scent wafting past as you
languish in its gentle warmth. The room is hushed with a
subtle sense of anticipation. You sigh and settle deeper
into the pool. This may not be the scene you picture
when visualizing natural childbirth, but it is the reality for
many women who are experiencing it.
17. THE HISTORY OF WATER BIRTH
hile water birth may appear to be a new trend, it has been practiced for
centuries around the globe, from Japan where women labored in the sea to
Finland where women delivered in saunas. In the US, it gained more
mainstream acknowledgment in the 1980s but its practice in traditional
medical settings has been waning in recent years.
Prior to this time in the West, women remained in a tub for short periods of
time, such as in the shower or bath as a way to increase their comfort in early
18. WHAT IS A CESAREAN
SECTION?
cesarean section, or c-section, is the delivery of a baby through a surgical
incision in the mother's abdomen and uterus. In certain circumstances, a c-
section is scheduled in advance. In others, it's done in response to an
unforeseen complication.
http://www.babycenter.com/0_giving-birth-by-cesarean-section_160.bc
19. WHAT IS A EPIDURAL
uring an epidural, painkilling drugs are passed into the small of your back via a
fine tube. It is a regional anaesthetic, so the drug is injected around the nerves
that carry signals from the part of your body that feels pain in labour, It will
numb your belly and provide you with very effective pain relief.
http://www.babycentre.co.uk/pregnancy/labourandbirth/painrelief/epidural/
21. WHY DOES MY CHILD NEED A
CAR SEAT?
he short answer is that, in most states, it's the law. All 50 states require
that children up to 18 months of age ride in car seats, and most have
laws requiring car seats until a child is at least 3 years old. More
important, though, buckling your child into a car seat is an important
investment in his safety. Studies show that children who don't ride in
car seats are up to four times more likely to be seriously injured in a
car crash, even a parking lot fender-bender.
22. HOW TO INSTALL A CAR SEAT
tep 1: Check the vehicle seat-belt system to ensure that it meets safety requirements.
These requirements include lap belts that can be manually adjusted or belts that
automatically retract
tep 2: Choose placement for the safety seat. The infant seat should always face the
rear. Preferably, the car seat is placed in the middle section of the back bench seat. If
this is not an option, installing the seat behind the driver's seat is the next best
choice. Never place an infant seat in a place where there is an air-bag system.
23. tep 3: Take the car seat out of the base before installation. This is done by lifting
the lever on the back portion of the seat itself and lifting it out of the base. Place
the base in the car facing the rear. The shoulder and lap belts should run through
the slots on the base. Do not twist belts. Secure, tighten and release any slack on
the safety belts.
24. tep 4: Use the metal clip provided with the seat to secure the lap and shoulder
belts together. The clip should be placed just above the seat belt buckle. Shake the
base to check security. It should feel stable and remain in place without slipping or
sliding in any direction.
tep 5: Retrieve the car seat and slide it into the base, pushing down until you hear a
click and it is locked into place. The Graco Infant Restraint/Carrier is ready for
travel with your baby.
25. WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF
BREASTFEEDING
Breastfeeding is one of the most natural and beneficial acts a mother can do for
her child. Dramatic health benefits have been proven to pass from mother to
child through breast milk From antibodies which protect an infant at birth...to
the exclusive nutrients in mother's milk which have been shown to prevent a
number of childhood diseases...the benefits are incalculable. There is no other
single action by which a mother can so impact the present and future health of
her baby.
