Maintaining Industry Awareness Gestational Diabetes Mellitus An independent panel convened by the National Institutes of Health has concluded that despite potential advantages of adopting a new diagnostic approach for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), more evidence is needed to ensure that the benefits outweigh the harms. The panel recommended following the current diagnostic approach until further studies are conducted. “The panel believes that cost-benefit, cost-effectiveness, and cost-utility research is needed to more fully understand the implications of changing diagnostic protocols for GDM,” said Dr. Peter VanDorsten, conference panel chairperson and Lawrence L. Hester, Jr. Professor, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston.

Women’s Health Newsletter What We’re Doing Women’s Health Roadmap
Community Awareness Trisomy Awareness Month The word “trisomy” comes from “tri,” the Greek word for “three.” Normally, humans have 46 chromosomes in each cell, divided into 23 pairs. Trisomy occurs when a third copy of a specific chromosome forms. Trisomy can occur on non-sex chromosomes (autosomal trisomies) or on sex-chromosomes (sex-chromosome trisomies). Autosomal trisomies are named based on the location of the third copy – Trisomy 18, for example, means three copies of chromosome 18 exists instead of the normal two copies. The three most common autosomal trisomies are trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome), trisomy 18 (Edward’s syndrome), and trisomy 21 (Down’s syndrome).
A new Women’s Health Roadmap has been posted on our Collaboration Community uCern site: https://connect.ucern.com/docs/ DOC-255586 Here you can view plans and timelines for solution updates and also find upcoming solutions and innovations planned.
Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome) occurs in about 1 in 16,000 newborns with the incidence increasing with increasing maternal age. Trisomy 13 is characterized by severe intellectual disability and physical abnormalities such as heart defects, brain or spinal cord abnormalities, small or poorly developed eyes, extra fingers or toes, cleft lip or cleft palate, and weak muscle tone. Only 5-10% of infants born with Trisomy 13 live past their first year. Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome) occurs in about 1 in 5,000 live-born infants. It is much more common during pregnancy, but many fetuses with trisomy 18 do not survive to term. Incidence of trisomy 18 increases with increased maternal age. Trisomy 18 is characterized by intrauterine growth restriction and low birth weight, cardiac and other organ abnormalities, and abnormal physical features such as an abnormally shaped head, small jaw and mouth, and clenched fists with overlapping fingers. Only 5-10% of infants born with Trisomy 18 live past their first year. Trisomy 21 (Down’s syndrome) occurs in about 1 in 700 newborns with incidence increasing with increasing maternal age. Trisomy 21 is characterized by intellectual disability, weak muscle tone, characteristic facial appearance, cardiac defects, and digestive abnormalities. Please find more information, including Trisomy 18 and 13 growth charts, at www.trisomy.org.

Shawnee Mission Medical Center Celebrates Birth Center Grand Opening On February 25, 2013, SMMC opened their new 100,000 square foot Birth Center. The Birth Center is three times larger than the old space and emphasizes a spa-like atmosphere. It includes 26 labor and delivery rooms, 43 private postpartum rooms and three Cesarean-section suites. The Center also features lounge areas with fireplaces for families to gather, eat and relax while spending time with mom and baby. The Center also provides care for the littlest patients with a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The unit features 24 private rooms to give families and their new baby more space to themselves. “We wanted to address patient requests for more privacy, and the new private rooms allow families more alone time with their new baby,” says Denise Martinek, Executive Director of Women’s and Children’s Services at SMMC .
