Since it's #InternationalMensDay, here's a thread of every part of the gynaecological anatomy that is named after a man, with a bit of trivia about each man. Some of the bits are very specific. Before you ask, there are no parts of the gynaecological anatomy named after women...

I just joined UNLV so I can't take any credit for the MSN program's success, but it's pretty cool to see this ranking: fortune.com/education/health…

The FBI has received credible information of a broad threat to synagogues in NJ. We ask at this time that you take all security precautions to protect your community and facility. We will share more information as soon as we can. Stay alert. In case of emergency call police.
So instead of “elderly primigravida” or “geriatric pregnancy” can we just use 35+? Or what are people doing that’s better?

Evidence exists to show investments in group prenatal care and nurse home visits reduce PTB (among other things). But Makena soaked up all the funding, attention, resources & much more.

An FDA panel just decided this drug should be withdrawn. Sounds like we just found some extra dollars to invest in what we know actually works. #Midwives it’s time to know your worth. #abundance #700millionplease.
I still can't get over this graph of the $700 million Medicaid spent from 2018-2021 on #Makena, a #PretermBirth prevention drug that doesn't work and that the #FDA wants withdrawn.
If you're not up to speed on Makena, now's the time to get activated, & you've come to the right🧵
Evidence-based list of interventions that are actually associated with lower rates of preterm birth and other healthy outcomes. Imagine how far $700million would go to support birth centers and CenteringPregnancy care.
We considered the $700 mil @OIGatHHS says Medicaid has spent on Makena since 2018. ((Source: oig.hhs.gov/oei/reports/OEI-…) Mind you, the confirmatory trial results came out in early 2019, so we knew this drug was worthless. I asked people's ideas for better investments. 6/n
Actually, we don't have to imagine how many birth centers could be built if the wasted Makena $ was directed responsibly-- they could be built in 1,000s of neighborhoods:
