The Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Library at Georgetown University has compiled a number of key resources on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs), which includes Web sites; fact sheets and brochures; screening, diagnosis, surveillance, intervention, and training tools; prevention-education materials (in both English and other languages), as well as other materials. It is available online at http://mchlibrary.info/guides/fasd.html
- The CDC has developed a Web-based featured item about fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. The item includes a video that shares the story of a family living with the effects of fetal alcohol exposure. Visit the feature and share the message about having a healthy, alcohol-free pregnancy with colleagues and friends.
The CDC also has unveiled a new, user-friendly, research-based Web site on FASDs. Among the features are state alcohol consumption data for 2008, a special video providing an inside look at one family living with FASDs, easy-to-read information on the diagnosis and treatment of children with FASDs, individualized pages for special groups (women, families, health care providers, educators and partners), and updated information on CDC activities.

- What to do about Erythromycin Opthalmic shortage for newborns.
- A process today stemming from a published article in JOGN back in 1984.
- We transitioned to unit dose sterile/aseptic technique repackaging of
our currently available 3.5 G tubes we have in stock to 210 mcg (0.2 mL)
unit dose sterile slip tip syringes.
- NOTE: The expiration date & time, it is limited to 2 days at room temperature in Pyxis.
- NOTE: A continuous ribbon of ointment from the inner corner of the eye out to the edge is approximately 0.1mL (~15 mm). Use one 0.2 mL
syringe to treat both eyes, dose is approximately 0.1mL per eye.
- Pharmacy will prepare sterile unit dose Erythromycin Ophthalmic Ointment in slip tip syringes as needed and will check Pyxis stock daily
to maintain a MIN/MAX level and monitor expiration dating.
- Once one runs out of the ointment, one can go to diluting the 5% povidine / iodine ophthalmic solution eye drops to 2.5%. We notified and obtained authorization/notice from our local San Francisco Dept of Health to do so. There was a study done in Africa reporting the success of this practice.
