Hypertension during pregnancy, as occurs with preeclampsia, can interfere with fetal growth and require premature delivery. These babies are at increased risk of complications at delivery, hypoglycemia, poor growth, developmental delays, and death. RFK Jr. is hurting babies. #NSNNN

I also do this when describing the size of a newborn’s scrotum when there are hydroceles present. A baseball-sized scrotum is fairly common. #NSNNN

Apgar is an example of a backronym, where an existing word is turned into an acronym by using its letters for the words of a phrase:
Appearance
Pulse
Grimace
Activity
Respiration
This was done a decade after Dr. Virginia Apgar developed the scoring system for assessing newborn health.

Acoustic guitars used to just be called ‘guitars.’
Then, we invented electric guitars. Oh no.
Which meant saying ‘guitar’ wasn’t clear enough.
So 'guitars' became 'acoustic guitars.'
‘Acoustic guitar’ is an example of a ‘retronym.’

Midline scalp, face, or spinal lesions are always a red flag on a newborn exam as they can be a clue to underlying conditions like spina bifida or an encephalocele. #NSNNN
A 5-week-old boy was brought to the hospital with a painful scalp lump that had been present since birth. On examination, there was a tense, nonpulsatile round mass on the occiput surrounded by a ring of dark, coarse hair. Read the full case details: nej.md/3N4jkgV

The Galant reflex is hit and miss in newborns. I don’t even check for it in healthy babies with good tone. Even in this instructional video you can see how it isn’t easy to demonstrate. Chiropractors should not be allowed to treat babies.

We are hoping it is an example of the clumpy nature of random events, but there were 8 families refusing vitamin K for their baby last week. That’s very unusual for our population. There is no downside to this lifesaving medication. None. It saves hundreds of lives every year in the US. #NSNNN
