healthy, nonpregnant women, in whom these cutoffs would still be considered within the normal reference range. Untreated Depression and Pregnancy Untreated depression during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk for preterm birth and low birth weight — two of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in infants — results of a new meta-analysis suggest. “Although this does not mean that treating depression with antidepressants will reduce these risks, this is an important piece of information for clinicians and women to take into account in the decisionmaking process around management of depression,” said lead author Alexander Jarde, PhD, postdoctoral fellow, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The analysis showed that the odds of preterm birth reported in studies by authors receiving support from pharmaceutical companies were significantly higher than the odds reported in studies by authors who did not receive such support. Researchers performed an exhaustive literature search for randomized and nonrandomized studies reporting adverse neonatal outcomes in pregnant women with untreated depression in comparison with pregnant women without depression. Studies assessed depression using either a clinical interview/diagnosis or a screening tool or scale. NANN PREVIEW Accriva Diagnostics Booth 112 What products do you plan to exhibit at NANN?

As the originator of heel incision devices, many have tried to replicate our proprietary technology, but cannot achieve the same results. When used as intended, the Tenderfoot produces a consistent incision arc that is controlled to a depth just above the nerve fibers. This benefits a device that is safe, easy to use, and virtually pain free with less bruising when compared with traditional lancet devices. Why should our readers stop by your display?
