#SMFM23 Plenary on the Pessary… we want to love you, but never can make it work… speaking of, @fei_cai_md and I have a creogsovercoffee podcast coming out this weekend on #pessary! For prolapse and incontinence, not PTB… but maybe we can do a PTB dive eventually!

Of those with a pessary, 4.7% also had a cerclage… hmm. #smfm23

I think it’s safe to say that we will stop doing pessary research bc it doesn’t work? #SMFM23

Byebye cervical pessary #SMFM23

Exogenous biochemicals can modify inflammatory cytokines, suggesting environmental exposures can contribute to pathogenic cervical remodeling preceding spontaneous preterm birth. Kristin Gerson #obgyn #basicscience #pretermbirth #SMFM23 bit.ly/3wKkQt0

Context: xenobiotics are everywhere... and associated with adverse reproductive outcomes. What about cervical remodeling? #SMFM23

New research in PPROM: Ampicillin + roxithromycin led to higher infection rate and neonatal adverse outcomes compared to cefuroxime + roxithromycin. Should this change our practice? #PPROM #pretermbirth #SMFM23 bit.ly/3l54kBu

Time to re-assess our antibiotic protocol for PPROM??? Cefuroxime+roxithromycin with improved obstetric outcomes #SMFM23 #pretermbirth

Struggling with phone battery life, can’t be too active, but always love seeing the fellows get their chance to shine! #smfm23

Strongly recommend this conference to anyone involved in the care of pregnant people!

Congrats to all of those who received MFM interviews today! Incredibly deep pool; be proud of yourself! But, if you find yourself with more interviews than you expected, consider cancelling at programs you're less serious about. Those on wait list (& MFM programs) will thank you!

Network TV destroyed itself when it opted for single run, lower budget, reality tv shows, rather then continuing the tradition of real story telling, with character driven shows, that people would return to watch over and over again, like family. #SAGAFTRAstrike

I think all you need to know about how Baldur’s Gate 3 is going for me is that I am one of the 3.7% who let Astarion bite them
