Assessment of the effect of physical activity on intraocular pressure using a novel implanted telemetric pressure sensor.

Background: Due to technical limitations of commonly used tonometry devices, the effects of physical exercise on intraocular pressure (IOP) have never been studied during exercise. This study continuously monitored IOP variations in patients with glaucoma during physical exercise using an implanted IOP microsensor.

Methods: In total, 10 participants (six male and four female) with open-angle glaucoma (age range: 67-79), previously implanted with an IOP sensor, were included.

The Diversity-Informed Tenets for Work with Infants, Children, and Families: Integrating Cultural Self-Awareness into Clinical Practice.

The Diversity-Informed Tenets for Work with Infants, Children, and Families were developed to increase infant mental health providers' awareness of health disparities and intentionality in combatting inequities to better meet the needs of diverse family systems. The Tenets have informed reflective processing and have increased the awareness of the importance of valuing family identity and culture while providing infant mental health services. This article will describe the history and necessity of the Tenets, review the teachings of each Tenet, and provide a clinical application of the Tenets through both the discussion of a clinical vignette and the lens of parental reflection.

Maternal depression, psychosocial stress and race/ethnicity: examining barriers to breastfeeding for young mothers.

Background: Breastfeeding has a positive impact on child and maternal health outcomes. Black and Latina women and adolescent mothers have lower rates of breastfeeding initiation and continuance in the U.S.

Rates of Preterm Birth and Low Birth Weight in an Adolescent Obstetric Clinic: Achieving Health Equity Through Trauma-Informed Care.

Objectives: Adolescents who are pregnant and identify as Black are exposed to more societal harms that increase their and their offspring's risk for poor health outcomes. The Colorado Adolescent Maternity Program (CAMP) offers comprehensive, multidisciplinary (medical, behavioral health, nutrition, case management), trauma-informed obstetric care to pregnant adolescents to ensure the healthiest pregnancy and birth possible and pursue health equity. The present study aimed to examine ethnic and racial disparities in preterm birth and low birth weight before and after implementation of a trauma-informed model of care.

Connecting during COVID: The application of teleservices in two integrated perinatal settings.

Integrated perinatal behavioral healthcare provides opportunities to support women and their babies as part of their primary care medical home. The COVID-19 pandemic required significant changes to be made to medical practices to enhance safety and reduce risk, particularly for vulnerable populations, including pregnant women. Previously established modes of mental health service delivery in the HEART program, an integrated behavioral health program embedded in a primary care clinic for adolescent mothers and their babies, and the PROMISE Clinic, an integrated obstetric behavioral health program that serves pregnant women, quickly pivoted to telehealth services because of the pandemic.
