Routine vitamin K prophylaxis. Why are there so many refusals?

This is still a fairly rare phenomenon in my hospital, but it does seem to increasing slightly here, as it is just about everywhere else. The science is settled, transplacental transfer of vitamin K is extremely limited, hepatic stores at birth are very low, and human milk contains extremely low concentrations of vitamin K. In later life, most of our vitamin K2 is produced by intestinal microbiota, including by our friends the Bifidobacteria, as well as Bacteroides and Prevotella, but we don't have many of those present at birth or over the first few days.

Neonatal care leave and pay right for thousands of new parents

Robots will not: - Notice the subtle exam finding that clenches the dx - Understand when families are ready to hear more bad news and when it's time to take a break - Get the tricky LP that's mostly feel and a little faith - Order a test based on vibes and be 💯 right. Glad I went to medical school

Words cannot describe how much I despise this person’s contempt for how hard real scientists work It’s the kind of attitude you can only get from inheriting a fortune from an Apartheid era emerald mine finance.yahoo.com/sectors/heal...
