Issue #1: We're really doing this....
Welcome to Neonatal Nuggets
Hello from the team at Tala Talks NICU! Before we continue, the file for the 50 Multiple Choice Questions is at the bottom of this email.
But in the meantime: we’re so glad you’re here! We’ll be sending out a Neonatal Nuggets Newsletter (that’s a bit of a mouthful, isn’t it?) every couple of weeks.
In it, you can expect the following types of content:
Clinically applicable tips for neonates (“The head circumference of premature infants increases ~ 0.5 cms a week. If head growth is > 1.5-2 cms a week, this is concerning for hydrocephalus”).
A concise PDF summary of our most recent video:
Super short reviews of interesting articles / news items (Early vs late repair of inguinal hernias? Fewer complications in infants if repair done at > 55 weeks vs. before discharge. And the article: Inguinal hernia repair) Timing of Inguinal Hernia Repair!
Stuff we’ve learnt at conferences or from the neonatal community (and why everyone should join #neotwitter!)
