This was an excellent presentation by a pediatric allergist, Dr. John Kelso. I learned a lot, but I'm a little behind on writing up a summary.
Check back for my notes shortly.

Thanks to Dr. Ryley Saedi-Kwon for her presentation this week on Physiologic Birth. As usual, a recording of the presentation is available above. Dr. Saedi-Kwon covered a wide range of birth topics, see my highlights below.
Physiologic Birth, as outlined in a 2012 consensus statement of US midwifery organizations includes:
2018 systematic qualitative review found that
Most wanted a physiological labor and birth while acknowledging that birth can be unpredictable and frightening and they may need to ‘go with the flow’
Small minority birth was physical process that should be conducted as quickly and painlessly as possible

Many thanks to Dr. Connie Earl for a FANTASTIC Grand Rounds presentation this week on Osteopathic Manipulation in the Hospital. Dr. Earl, who previously ran the Forestville Wellness Center through West County Health Centers, is currently doing a year of extra "residency" training on Osteopathic and Neuromuscular Medicine (ONMN) at Maine Medical Center. She shared with us her passion for Osteopathic Manipulation (OMM/OMT) and a TON of what she described as "really weird studies that demonstrate ways in which OMN may be used in the hospital setting".
As an allopathic-trained physician, I admit I am often envious of the anatomy knowledge and tremendous skills of my osteopathic colleagues-- and I can tell you from personal experience that Dr. Earl has amazing clinical skills (and hands!)
For those of us less familiar with OMT, she started with the four principles of osteopathy:
The body is a unit; the person is a unit of body, mind and spirit.
The body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing and health maintenance.
Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated.
Rational treatment is based upon an understanding of the basic principles of body unity, self-regulation and the interrelationship of structure and function.
