Journal of Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics Publishes Editorial on Chiropractic Care for Infant Cow's Milk Allergy and Intolerance

Journal of Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics Publishes Editorial on Chiropractic Care for Infant Cow's Milk Allergy and Intolerance

The Journal of Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics has published an editorial discussing the role of chiropractic care in managing infants with cow's milk allergy (CMA) and cow's milk intolerance (CMI). The editorial, authored by Rosemary Schiavi, DC, DICCP, IBCLC, from Anthro Chiropractic and Wellness, LLC in Belvidere, Illinois, differentiates between CMA, which is immune-mediated, and CMI, which is often non-immune and can involve lactose malabsorption. It highlights that symptoms like eczema, vomiting, reflux-like issues, diarrhea, and irritability can arise from multiple mechanisms, necessitating a careful approach to diagnosis and treatment. The article proposes a cautious 12-week adjunct chiropractic protocol for a 12-week-old formula-fed infant with confirmed CMA and cross-reactivity to soy and goat milk. This protocol emphasizes safety, interdisciplinary care, and measurable outcomes, positioning chiropractic care as an adjunctive treatment to address musculoskeletal contributors to feeding position,...

FDA Considers Over-the-Counter Vaginal Estrogen to Expand Menopause Treatment Access

FDA Considers Over-the-Counter Vaginal Estrogen to Expand Menopause Treatment Access

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is exploring the possibility of making vaginal estrogen available over-the-counter (OTC) for women experiencing menopause symptoms. This initiative aims to provide easier access to treatments for conditions such as vaginal dryness, burning, irritation, and painful intercourse, which are caused by declining estrogen levels. Currently, these treatments require a prescription in the U.S., unlike in some other countries like Britain, Sweden, and Norway, where certain vaginal estrogen products are available without a prescription or with pharmacist assessment. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) supports OTC access to hormonal contraception and has advocated for removing boxed warnings from low-dose vaginal estrogen, arguing that these warnings, based on systemic hormone therapy studies, unnecessarily deter clinicians from prescribing effective treatments. The FDA has not yet approved a switch or set a timetable for this change, but it is engagin...

ACOG Recommends Universal Syphilis Screening for Pregnant Individuals Amid Rising Congenital Syphilis Cases

ACOG Recommends Universal Syphilis Screening for Pregnant Individuals Amid Rising Congenital Syphilis Cases

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) is advocating for universal serological screening for syphilis in all pregnant individuals. This recommendation comes in response to a significant increase in congenital syphilis cases in the United States, with 3,800 confirmed cases in 2023, marking a tenfold rise since 2012. ACOG advises screening at the first prenatal care visit, followed by universal rescreening during the third trimester and at birth. This approach moves away from risk-based testing, which has proven insufficient, as evidenced by the fact that three in five infants with congenital syphilis in 2022 were born to individuals who had received some prenatal care. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 88% of congenital syphilis cases in 2022 could have been prevented with timely screening and treatment. The 'Compassionate Conversations' series aims to equip obstetric care professionals with the necessary tools for sensitive and respectful discussion...

States Urged to Expand Substance Use Disorder Treatment for Pregnant Individuals

States Urged to Expand Substance Use Disorder Treatment for Pregnant Individuals

A new report emphasizes the critical need for states to expand and integrate substance use disorder (SUD) treatment with obstetrics and gynecologic care for pregnant individuals. Untreated SUD during pregnancy can lead to severe health consequences for both the parent and infant, including premature birth, low birth weight, stillbirth, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, and neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS). Unintentional overdose is also cited as the leading cause of maternal death. The report highlights successful integrated care models in Indiana and Oregon, such as the Indiana Pregnancy Promise Program and Project Nurture, which combine SUD treatment with maternity care, offering services like medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and contingency management. These programs have shown positive outcomes, including increased postpartum care engagement and reduced foster care placements for infants. The report also advocates for strengthening community-based support through health workers, peer...
