A common myth is that #preeclampsia - a leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity - cannot be prevented. We’re here to set the record straight: preeclampsia prevention is possible. To kick off Preeclampsia Awareness Month, we’re working to highlight how physicians and pregnant patients can take action to reduce the risk of this dangerous complication. As preeclampsia impacts 1 in 12 pregnancies and is on the rise, this evidence-based toolkit outlines practical guidelines to create the healthiest pregnancy possible.  Resources include:  ✅ Prevention Checklist for High-Risk Patients  ✅ Preeclampsia Discussion Guide ✅ Signs and Symptoms Poster Visit PreeclampsiaPrevention.com to access these essential resources.  Special thank you to Eleni Tsigas Christopher Robinson Les Myatt James Roberts Elizabeth Sutton Ob Hospitalist Group to help amplify awareness that prevention is possible! #PreeclampsiaPrevention #PregnancyHealth #MaternalHealth

March commemorates Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Awareness Month, an opportunity to shed light on a silent yet potentially life-threatening condition 😣 ⬇️ As we join healthcare professionals worldwide in raising recognition, here are 5 interesting statistics about DVT that you probably haven't heard already:  🔵 Every 60 Seconds – Someone is diagnosed with DVT every minute, emphasizing the urgency for increased knowledge and prevention. 🔵 Silent Symptoms – Less than half of those with DVT will exhibit symptoms, making it a hidden threat. Vigilance and proactive screening are critical. 🔵 Pregnancy Risks – DVT does not discriminate, even during the miracle of life. Approximately 1 in 1000 women will develop this condition while pregnant.  🔵 Gender Disparity – Studies reveal that women are more susceptible to DVT than men, prompting a need for targeted awareness initiatives. 🔵 Mortality Rate – Over 60,000 deaths are attributed to complications from DVT each year, a number that could be reduced with enhanced detection and treatment. In response to these concerns, we at ECCO Medical (Colorado's premier center for minimally invasive DVT interventions) remain committed to improving patient outcomes. Our team specializes in the latest image-guided procedures to ensure swift, safe, and effective treatment for those affected by DVT. By sharing knowledge and offering cutting-edge medical solutions, we can collectively combat DVT. This month, take a moment to learn, share, and spread the word – your actions could save a life. #DVTAwarenessMonth #ECCOMedical #Healthcare #PatientCare #Thrombosis #Prevention --- Connect with ECCO Medical for more information on how we can assist you or your loved ones in managing DVT risks and treatments: 💻 eccomedical.com 📞 (303) 529-7758

They say that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In aggregate, that's true, and demonstrates very nicely the overall mission of public health. In some cases though, the value of prevention is so high relative to that of cure that, rather like dividing by zero, the ratio is incalculable. In such situations, even one case of illness represents a failure of the system. Congenital syphilis (CS), the infection of an infant by an improperly or untreated mother is one such case. Cooper and Sanchez, in Seminars in Perinatology, say that EVERY case of congenital syphilis is a failure of the public health system. That's because with adequate prenatal testing, up to three tests recommended for at-risk pregnant women, and adequate treatment--injections of bicillin, no infant should have to face the crippling and even deadly consequences of CS. Children born with CS face crippling physical deformity, developmental disability, palsy, blindness, and even death. While they can be treated and cured of syphilis, its effects are often lifelong. The inadequacy of prenatal care in the United States compared to other developed nations is well documented on many fronts. In the face of a rapidly swelling epidemic of syphilis among women aged 15-44 nationwide, however, it is specifically performing inadequately to prevent CS. Across the nation, cases rose 754% between 2012 and 2021, and continue to rise sharply, with 3,755 cases reported in 2022, or 102.5 per 100,000 live births. Among the most vulnerable populations, such as Alaskan Indian/American Indians, the number approaches a staggering 1 out of every 100 live births. Every one of those cases is somebody's precious child, and each case is ultimately preventable with a greater, awareness, effort, and investment in prenatal care. Easier said than done, I know, but we must start somewhere. Prevention is possible, can be relatively painless, and can work every time. An ounce of it in this case, cures the whole thing. #publichealth #phep #sti #std #syphilis #congenitalsyphilis #mch #maternalandchildhealth #healthcare

It’s #pcosawareness month and one of the under-diagnosed symptoms/complications is hypo-lactation in nursing mums. Remember that an absence of diagnosis is not an absence of illness. In our practice, we have consulted with women who had PCOS but were unaware and the only symptom that stood out for them, was a very low breast milk supply. And this is not an issue that is fixed with increased breastfeeding/pumping. Hypo-lactation in #PCOS is thought to be due to insulin resistance that can sometimes occur, and also a decrease in breast tissue with milk glands.

1-6-24 Xiamen, China. Prof Rob Phillips of the University of Queensland and Prof Herbert Valensise of the University of Rome presented exciting new research supporting the use of USCOM 1A in hypertensive disease in pregnancy at the 2024 Cross-Strait Maternal Fetal Medical Symposium and 5th XOGA Annual Conference in Xiamen, China. The meeting was attended by nearly 1000 specialist Maternal Health physicians from across China. Preeclampsia remains the major global cause of maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality and #Uscom is emerging as an innovative solution to improve its management and outcomes. Coincidentally Prof Valensise’s group published a paper demonstrating USCOM 1A guided therapy decreases the incidence of preeclampsia and other complications in small for dates foetuses (Farsetti D, et al.
