Baby gear injuries surging, often due to falls
arriers, for example, aren’t a problem when they’re used properly, said Dr. Elizabeth Powell, a pediatrics researcher at Northwestern University in Chicago who wasn’t involved in the study. “As an ED clinician, I see infants who are not properly restrained, or those who fall from carriers placed on counters, beds or other furniture,” Powell said by email. “While this detail is outside the scope of the report, this is why there are injuries associated with this product.”

Cardiovascular Deaths Linked to Poor Dietary Choices
The results suggest that an integrated approach to healthy eating is possible, said Linda Van Horn, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association and a professor of preventive medicine at Northwestern University, who was not involved in the study. “Typically, the higher the diet is in natural — not processed — plant-based foods, the lower the sodium intake is,” she said. “So by eating more of the favored foods, the detrimental intakes of sodium, as well as trans-fat and saturated fat and sugar, are lower.”

Rookie docs can work longer, 24-hour shifts under new rules
Critics of the shorter limit said it short-changed rookie doctors. Dr. Karl Bilimoria, a Northwestern University surgery professor, said some residents have complained that they’ve had to leave work in the middle of surgeries. Bilimoria led a study published last year suggesting that first-year residents could work longer without endangering patient safety or their own well-being.

After a Stillbirth, Tests Can Help Pinpoint the Cause
“These tests have an impact, and now there’s more of a scientific rationale for their use,” said Dr. Emily S. Miller, an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University who was not involved with the study. She predicted that this critical new data would not only persuade more obstetrician-gynecologists that placental testing “is something we really need to recommend,” but also help convince bereaved parents that follow-up testing is “worthwhile.” Despite the tests, some stillbirths remain unexplained. “It’s frustrating,” Dr. Miller said. But, she added: “Feeling like we are doing everything we can to understand why can bring emotional closure.”

Heart Disease Kicks in Earlier for Obese People
Overweight and obese people tend to develop heart disease at an earlier age, living with chronic illness for much longer than those of a healthy weight, a new study shows. These findings show that even though some may benefit from an “obesity paradox” — where people with excess weight live longer than those of normal weight — those extra years of life could be filled with illness and misery, said lead researcher Dr. Sadiya Khan, an instructor at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. “Individuals in the overweight category really live about the same amount of time,” Khan said. “It was really the difference about how long they lived with cardiovascular disease because they developed the disease earlier in life.”
