In Oxford at the Science Day of the Department of Womens and Reproductive Health Nuffield Dept of Women's & Reproductive Health An impressive array of cutting edge research, I was particularly impressed with the focus on #BigData #AI and #DigitalHealth in so many aspects.

Important breakthrough: Over a 6-month malaria season 81% of the 6-10yr-olds got P. falciparum. 59% had clinical malaria (placebo group). But a SINGLE s/c dose of monoclonal antibody provided protective efficacy of up to 77% against clinical malaria! nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

One of the fab things in #academicmedicine is forming new collaborations and friendships. We from University of Oxford found ourselves Stanford University & even managed to bring them together with our colleagues from UC Berkeley 😉. Subject: AI-multiomic analysis of INTERGROWTH-21st data 🤖

Today I received from Roberto Romero Roberto Romero the supplementary issue on Labour & birth - it’s really a textbook of human parturition! Great reading - the quality of production of AJOG is admirable. The move to “online only” is a pity to me when I see such tomes 📚.

The July #UOGJournal includes an open-access systematic review by Karim et al., comprising 527,837 fetuses, assessing the diagnostic accuracy of the two-dimensional ultrasound at 11–14 weeks’ gestation as a screening test for non-cardiac fetal anomalies. bit.ly/49tPS9l

Thanks Andy for a tour de force on how to improve outcomes in preterm birth and preeclampsia by Andrew H Shennan OBE … incredible contributions from cerclage, to diagnostics in PE, and management … trial after trial ! My fave is cradle 4 trial. Need to hear more ☺️ Stillbirth CRE

Profoundly saddened by Chris's passing. I was fortunate to witness his fierce intellect, caring nature, and sharp humor. A pioneer in pre-eclampsia research, his FHR analysis system has surely reduced large numbers of stillbirths. A giant in Obs & Gyn ow.ly/iRoi50SXhxs

DYK: Half of all maternal deaths occur during birth? Most are preventable. In this latest BJOG supplement w/ input from HRP colleagues, 19 evidence-based algorithms for the management of normal and abnormal labour are presented. #MaternalHealth ▶️bit.ly/3z1kbbi
