    Abstract Recognizing that the past does not necessarily pass of its own accord but rather is made to pass is crucial for understanding relationships between collective memory, temporality and the past. Analyzing processes of temporal negotiation reveals that changing the ending (or, in some cases creating one at all) requires re-envisioning the entire sequence of events. Thus, the ending (if there is one) depends on the beginning. British prime ministers' references to 9/11 in public addresses demonstrate this process of temporal negotiation about whether and how to create an ending. Tony Blair constructed the attacks as a legacy, thus sustaining the past as part of the present. To unwind this construction and consign 9/11 to the past, Gordon Brown and David Cameron needed to disrupt the flow of contingent incidents in which Blair had embedded 9/11. By redefining the narrative's beginning, they made it possible to bring 9/11 to an end.

    Abstract Visual stress is a perceptual dysfunction that appears to affect how information is processed as it passes from the eyes to the brain. Photophobia, visual resolution, restricted focus, sustaining focus, and depth perception are all components of visual stress. Because visual stress affects what is perceived by the eye, students with this disorder may struggle with reading and math, as well as with other academic areas. Students who suffer from visual stress may also experience difficulties with perception while completing online assessments. The purpose of this experimental quantitative study was to investigate the effect of colored monitor overlays on the rate of completion of a computerized reading assessment, as well as their effect on the scores of the computerized reading assessment. This experimental quantitative study followed a within subject counterbalanced design in which all participants were involved in the control activity, as well as the experimental activity. Participants in the study included 32 students ages 12 to 14, from three Nebraska schools, who had been diagnosed with visual stress and had chosen overlays to remove visual stress symptoms. Student scores and completion rates on two reading assessments, one taken with a colored overlay and one taken with a clear overlay, were compared to determine if the use of colored overlays was related to higher assessment ratings and quicker rates of completion. Results showed that seven (22%) participants scored a higher percentage on the assessment when colored overlays were used, while 25 (78%) participants did not improve their scores, 031)=-0.879, p=0.386. Thirteen (41%) participants improved their time when using a colored overlay(s) and 19 (59%) did not, 031)=-0.452, p=0.654. The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant for either score or time improvements. Further research is recommended. Three suggested improvements include assessing more participants, screening those participants on the computer monitor, and lengthening the assessments in order to incorporate the fatigue factor.

    Abstract Background: During labor, maintenance of maternal euglycemia is critical to decrease the risk of neonatal hypoglycemia and associated morbidities. When continuous intravenous insulin infusion is needed, standardized insulin dosing charts have been used for titration of insulin to maintain glucose in target range. The GlucoStabilizer software program (Indiana University Health Inc, Indianapolis, IN) is a software-guided insulin dosing system that calculates the dose of intravenous insulin that is needed based on metabolic parameters, target glucose concentration, and an individual's response to insulin. Although this tool has been validated and shown to reduce both hypoglycemia and errors in critical care settings, the utility of this software has not been examined in obstetrics.
    Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the use of intravenous insulin dosing software in women with pregestational or gestational diabetes mellitus that requires intrapartum insulin infusion can improve the rate of glucose concentration in target range (70-100 mg/dL; 3.9-5.5 mmol/L) at the time delivery.
    Study design: We performed a retrospective cohort study comparing laboring patients with diabetes mellitus that required insulin infusion who were dosed by standard insulin dosing chart vs the GlucoStabilizer software program from January 2012 to December 2017. The GlucoStabilizer software program, which was implemented in May 2016, replaced the standard intravenous insulin dosing chart. Inclusion criteria were women with pregestational or gestational diabetes mellitus who were treated with an intravenous insulin infusion intrapartum for at least 2 hours. Maternal characteristics, glucose values in labor, and neonatal outcomes were extracted from delivery and neonatal records. The primary outcome was the percentage of women who achieved the target glucose range (defined as a blood glucose between 70-100 mg/dL; 3.9-5.5 mmol/L) before delivery. Parametric and nonparametric statistics were used to compare both groups; a probability value of <.05 was considered statistically significant.
    Results: We identified 22 patients who were dosed by a standard insulin dosing chart and 11 patients who were dosed by the GlucoStabilizer software program during intrapartum management. The GlucoStabilizer software program was superior in achieving glucose values in target range at delivery (81.8% vs 9.1%; P<.001) compared with standard insulin dosing without increasing maternal hypoglycemia (0% vs 4.3%; P=.99). Patients whose insulin dosing was managed by the GlucoStabilizer software program also had lower mean capillary blood glucose values compared with the standard insulin infusion (102.9±5.9 mg/dL [5.7±0.33 mmol/L] vs 121.7±5.9 mg/dL [6.8±0.33 mmol/L]; P=.02). Before the initiation of the infusion, both groups demonstrated mean capillary blood glucose values outside of target range (122.6±8.8 mg/dL [6.7±0.49 mmol/L] for the GlucoStabilizer software program vs 131.9±10.1 mg/dL [7.3±0.56 mmol/L] for standard insulin treatment group; P=not significant). There were no significant differences in baseline maternal characteristics between the groups or neonatal outcomes.
    Conclusion: This study is the first to demonstrate that the use of software-guided intravenous insulin dosing in obstetrics can improve intrapartum glycemic management without increasing hypoglycemia in women with both pregestational and gestational diabetes mellitus that is treated with an insulin infusion.

    Abstract Untreated fetal pleural effusion can cause significant perinatal morbidity and mortality. Treatment of pleural effusions with pleuro-amniotic shunting has been shown to improve outcomes. Pleuro-amniotic shunting is associated with complications including ruptured membranes, preterm labor and shunt dislodgement into either the amniotic cavity or the fetal thorax. Shunt dislodgement into the thoracic cavity can cause prenatal complications from the shunt itself or may necessitate neonatal surgery for removal. We present a case where a novel ultrasound-guided technique was used to replace the dislodged pleural shunt in utero, thereby effectively draining the effusion while simultaneously obviating the need for neonatal surgery and decreasing possible perinatal complications.

    Abstract Objective: We sought to determine the timing of administration of antenatal corticosteroids (AS) for indicated preterm births and to identify which indications are associated with the most optimal timing of administration.
    Study design: This was a retrospective cohort of patients who received AS in anticipation of indicated preterm birth from 2009 through 2012 at Winthrop University Hospital, Mineola, NY. Medical records of patients who received AS, as identified through the hospital pharmacy database, were reviewed. Patients were included if they had a singleton or twin gestation and they received AS for maternal or fetal indications. Women were excluded if they received AS for spontaneous preterm labor or preterm rupture of membranes. Maternal demographic and obstetrical characteristics were compared between those who received AS≤7 days vs >7 days from delivery using parametric and nonparametric tests with relative risks and 95% confidence intervals. P<.05 was considered significant.
    Results: In all, 193 patients were included in this study. Median latency from AS administration to delivery was 9 days (range, 0-83); 93 patients (48%) received AS within 7 days of delivery. There were no significant differences between the 2 groups with regards to baseline maternal characteristics. Those delivering within 7 days of AS administration were more likely to have maternal vs fetal indications (84% vs 16%).
    Conclusion: Only 48% of patients with an indication for preterm birth received AS within 7 days of its administration. AS appear to be more optimally timed in the presence of maternal rather than fetal indications.

    Abstract Thrombocytopenia is a common complication encountered in pregnancy, and can have a wide range of prognostic implications, from completely benign to life threatening. It is important for obstetricians to be aware of the various causes of thrombocytopenia in pregnancy, and to be able to diagnose and manage these patients. This article reviews the various causes of thrombocytopenia in pregnancy, highlights clinical and laboratory features of the most common and most severe causes, and provides an overview of management for these disorders.

    Abstract Purpose: To determine if use of cerclage in twin gestations with mid-trimester short cervix is associated with decreased preterm birth rate.
    Study design: This is a retrospective cohort of twin gestations identified with cervical length of ≤2.5 cm before 24 weeks of gestation through the perinatal ultrasound database of two institutions from 2008 to 2014. Patients with and without cerclage were compared for a primary outcome of preterm birth at <35 weeks. A pre-planned sub-group analysis of patients with cervical length ≤1.5 cm was also performed.
    Results: Eighty-two patients were included; 43 received cerclage, 39 did not. Mean gestational age at cerclage placement was 20.8 weeks. There was no significant difference in rate of preterm birth <35 weeks between the groups (34.9% versus 48.7%, respectively). In the sub-group analysis of patients with cervical length ≤1.5 cm, there was a significant decreased risk of preterm birth <35 weeks [37% versus 71.4%; adjusted RR 0.49 (0.26-0.93)].
    Conclusion: Cerclage placement for cervical length ≤2.5 cm in twin gestations did not decrease the rate of preterm birth at <35 weeks; however, cerclage placement for cervical length ≤1.5 cm was associated with a significantly decreased rate of preterm birth <35 weeks when compared to patients managed without cerclage.
