Combination Foley catheter and prostaglandins or Foley and oxytocin for cervical ripening: a network meta-analysis
No full textBACKGROUND:
Trial and meta-analysis data show a reduction in time to delivery for Foley and prostaglandins or Foley and oxytocin versus Foley alone. However, there is scant data for comparison of the two combination methods against each other. OBJECTIVES:
To determine whether Foley and prostaglandins or Foley and oxytocin decrease the time to vaginal delivery via network meta-analysis. STUDY DESIGN:
A network meta-analysis (PROSPERO CRD42018081948) was performed comparing Foley and prostaglandins (PGE1 or PGE2) and Foley and oxytocin for cervical ripening. Foley alone and prostaglandins (PGE) alone were used as nodes for indirect comparison. Database searches were performed from inception to March 2020 with data abstracted from published manuscripts. Eligibility criteria included randomized trials comparing Foley and oxytocin to Foley and prostaglandins (PGE1(misoprostol) or PGE2 (dinoprostone)). Trials were also included if they compared the Foley catheter or PGE to a combination of Foley and PGE or Foley and concurrent oxytocin. Nulliparous and multiparous women were analyzed together. Foley catheters of any catheter material or size, gestational age greater than 24 weeks with a live fetus were included. Quasi-randomized, cohorts and other combination methods for cervical ripening were not included. PGE1 and PGE2 combined methods were analyzed separately in a planned subanalysis. The primary outcome was the mean time from induction to vaginal delivery in hours. Secondary outcomes included time from induction to delivery, delivery within 24 hours, cesarean delivery, chorioamnionitis, endometritis, epidural use, tachysystole, postpartum hemorrhage, meconium, NICU admission, and 5 minute APGAR \u3c7. Data was analyzed as a network meta-analysis (NMA) using multivariate meta-regression. RESULTS:
30 randomized controlled trials with a total of 6,465 women were considered eligible for inclusion in this network meta-analysis. When compared to Foley alone, the use of Foley/oxytocin reduced the time to vaginal delivery by 4.2 hours (MD -4.2 hours [95% CI -6.5 to -1.9]). Foley/PGE reduced time to vaginal delivery compared to Foley but did not meet statistical significance (MD -2.9 hours [95% CI -5.7 to 0.0], p=0.05). When compared head to head, there was no difference in the time to vaginal delivery between Foley/PGE and Foley/oxytocin (MD 1.3 hours [95% CI -2.0 to 4.7]). There was no difference in the rate of cesarean delivery, chorioamnionitis , epidural, tachysystole, postpartum hemorrhage, meconium, NICU admissions, or 5min APGAR\u3c7 for Foley/PGE vs. Foley/oxytocin, although the rate of endometritis was high for Foley/PGE. In the sub-analysis by PGE type, there was no difference in time to vaginal delivery for Foley/PGE1 vs Foley/PGE2 vs Foley/oxytocin. However, Foley/PGE2 had a definite trend towards longer time to all deliveries compared to both Foley/PGE1 and Foley/oxytocin (p=0.05). CONCLUSIONS:
Time to vaginal delivery was similar when comparing Foley with combined misoprostol, combined dinoprostone, and combined oxytocin. Dinoprostone comparisons are limited by small sample size, but suggest longer time to delivery compared with Foley and misoprostol or oxytocin. No significant differences were seen in maternal or neonatal adverse events with the exception of endometritis, but this is limited by the sample size, varied reporting of studies used in the indirect comparisons, and definitions of infectious morbidity use in the studies

Is Happiness a Fantasy Only for the Privileged? Exploring Women's Classed Chances of Being Happy Through Alcohol Consumption During COVID-19
No full textThis chapter uses the pandemic crisis to explore the social processes that structure happiness and shape fantasies of living a happy life. Considered herein are issues of human potential, gendered and classed possibility and people’s differing chances in cultivating a sense of satisfaction in ‘being happy’, despite living through COVID-19. Interviews with 40 Australian women living during lockdown restrictions with varying levels of social, cultural and economic capital are utilised to make sense of women’s happiness. Vastly different avenues for achieving a happiness fantasy outside of drinking alcohol were possible for more privileged women than for those in middle and working classes. The classed differences in women’s gendered roles in managing emotions (their own and other people’s) and their chances to be happy are exemplified in how the changes to the structure of the day that resulted from COVID-19 restrictions did not devastate or cause stress (as we heard from working-class women) or need to be filtered or blocked out using alcohol in order to retain balanced emotions (as we heard from middle-class women) but rather provided an opportunity to celebrate the achievement of their happiness fantasy. We deduce that for those with less agency available to control their chances of living a happy life, prevailing COVID-19 discourse that places happiness within individual responsibility and focuses on personal resilience rather than tending to the conditions for flourishing, is problematic.Belinda Lunnay, Megan Warin, Kristen Foley and Paul R.

Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA): a powerful tool for representing implicit knowledge of scholar knowledge workers
No full textIn the last decade, knowledge has emerged as one of the most important and valuable organizational assets. Gradually this importance caused to emergence of new discipline entitled ―knowledge management‖. However one of the major challenges of knowledge management is conversion implicit or tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. Thus Making knowledge visible so that it can be better accessed, discussed, valued or generally managed is a long-standing objective in knowledge management. Accordingly in this paper author co- citation analysis (ACA) will be proposed as an efficient technique of knowledge visualization in academia (Scholar knowledge workers)

Evaluating the North St Paul City Redevelopment Process
No full textReport, presentation and handout completed by students enrolled in OLPD 5501: Principles and Methods of Evaluation, taught by Randi Nelson in fall 2013.This project was completed as part of the 2013-2014 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of North St. Paul. North St. Paul had a goal of becoming a “redevelopment ready” community, a designation given by the Urban Land Institute. In 2011, the city also applied for a Metropolitan Council livable cities grant. To reach these goals, project lead Paul Ammerman collaborated with students in OLPD 5501: Principles and Methods of Evaluation, taught by Randi Nelson, to evaluate the City’s redevelopment proposal. The students identified stakeholders, set the context for the evaluation, and offered an evaluation proposal. The final report, presentation, and handout are available.This project was supported by the Resilient Communities Project (RCP), a program at the University of Minnesota whose mission is to connect communities in Minnesota with U of MN faculty and students to advance community resilience through collaborative, course-based projects. RCP is a program of the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs (CURA). More information at http://www.rcp.umn.edu.Ologbosere, Itohan; Goldbeck, Briana; Zji, JingJing; Foley, Kari. (2013).
