Preconception and Prenatal Maternal Exposure to Pesticides Linked to Neonatal Health Risks, Study Finds - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog Maternal exposure to pesticides, as documented with residential proximity to agriculture, impacts neonatal health.

In a study of #birth outcomes in Arizona, researchers find that #preconception & #prenatal #exposure to some #carbamates, #organophosphates, & #pyrethroids increases risk of lower #Apgar scores.

In #LSCS under GA, higher maternal volatile exposure was associated with lower 5-min #Apgar scores. However, this association attenuated after adjustment for maternal hypotension, suggesting MAP may be the key driver

#APGAR
Dr Apgar first published a paper on the assessment tool & scoring system for newborn health

The #APGAR Score still needs inclusive coloured illustrations!
Thanks to Dr Franziska ZenRuffinen, here is my illustration of the APGAR Score, for public use.
Feedback for updating/improving the illustration are welcome.

#KnowledgeByte: The #Apgar #Score is a method to quickly summarize the health of newborn children against infant mortality.

Dr. Virginia Apgar created the system in 1952, and used her name as a mnemonic for each of the five categories that a person will score.
