  Neonatology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the care of newborn infants, particularly those who are ill or premature. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the survival and well-being of newborns, especially in the first few days and weeks of life, which are critical for the infant’s long-term health. The field encompasses a wide range of conditions, from common newborn illnesses to complex and rare congenital disorders, and involves the expertise of neonatologists, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other medical professionals working collaboratively in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). 
  At birth, the infant undergoes a series of physiological changes, transitioning from the maternal environment to the external world. This period of adaptation is a defining feature of neonatology, where the neonatologist’s role is to manage any challenges that arise during this transition. This includes monitoring the newborn’s heart rate, breathing, and temperature regulation, as well as ensuring the baby is receiving adequate nutrition and support. 
  Neonatology has advanced significantly over the past few decades, with improvements in neonatal care reducing mortality rates for preterm infants and those with congenital conditions. Innovations such as advanced respiratory support systems, better understanding of neonatal pharmacology, and the development of sophisticated monitoring techniques have drastically improved the chances of survival for critically ill newborns. These advancements have also contributed to a deeper understanding of the long-term effects of prematurity, low birth weight, and other neonatal complications on development.

  Black maternal mortality statistics have not shifted in the past thirty years. 
   
  The maternal mortality rate for Black patients is four to five times higher than it is for White patients. This is just one example of racism as a health and national crisis, but it is a particularly tragic one. 
   
  Birthing Liberation presents reproductive justice as the pathway to equity. The issue of reproductive justice may sound specific, but it is in fact the birthplace of liberation. Its four guiding principles—analyzing power systems, addressing  
  intersecting oppressions, centering the most marginalized, and joining together across issues and identities—have the power to lead us to collective liberation in all facets of life. 
   
  Collective liberation rests on the idea that in order for us all to have equity in this world—from the safety of birthing children to the ability to bring a baby home to a safe community to having access to resources, safety, and opportunities over  
  the long term—we must all become liberated individuals. 
   
  Sabia C. Wade is a renowned radical doula and educator inspired to create a guide for how we can all achieve liberation through trauma healing and reproductive justice. 
   
  Birthing Liberation creates a path to social and systemic change, starting within the birthing world and expanding far beyond.

  Endocrinology - The Body's...

  The endocrine system is a complex network of glands and organs that produce, regulate, and secrete hormones—chemical messengers that influence nearly every physiological process in the body. These hormones control metabolism, growth and development, reproduction, mood, and overall homeostasis. Unlike the nervous system, which relies on rapid electrical signals, the endocrine system operates through the bloodstream, allowing hormones to exert long-lasting effects on target organs and tissues. 
  The endocrine system consists of several major glands, each responsible for specific hormone production. The hypothalamus, often referred to as the control center, regulates hormonal signals and maintains communication between the nervous and endocrine systems. It directs the pituitary gland, known as the "master gland," to release hormones that influence other endocrine organs. The thyroid gland regulates metabolism through thyroid hormones, while the parathyroid glands control calcium levels in the blood. The adrenal glands produce cortisol and adrenaline, essential for stress response and energy regulation. The pancreas, an organ with both endocrine and exocrine functions, plays a crucial role in blood sugar regulation through insulin and glucagon secretion. The gonads—testes in males and ovaries in females—produce sex hormones that govern reproductive functions and secondary sexual characteristics. Additionally, the pineal gland regulates sleep-wake cycles through melatonin production.

  Cryptids: How We Know They are Real

  When you stare into the shadows... do the shadows stare back? 
  Sasquatch! Mothman! Nessie! The Jackalope! Many cryptids are famous, but which ones are real? Search beyond blurry photos and sketchy eye-witness accounts to examine physical evidence of cryptids that shows... how we know they are real. 
  Sample passages: 
  From Chapter 1 
  "Studying cryptids sharpens the mental tools needed to cut through the thickets of misleading and incomplete evidence. The skills you’ll practice as you judge the existence of Bigfoot can be used to analyze any number of scientific, commercial, political, or philosophical claims. The study of cryptids can lead the open-minded explorer into a better understanding and appreciation of our world. 
  From Chapter 16 
  "The giant squid swims through deep, dark seas surrounded by things we’ll never see, and can’t imagine. 
  In this light, the fact that anyone would state that we’ve already discovered every large creature in the wild is a foolish claim. Just because something is unknown isn’t proof that it’s unreal. If someone tells you a certain cryptid doesn’t exist, there’s no reason to accept that as the final word. There can be no final word. Reality is still being discovered and understood, and there’s an infinite supply of the unknown to transform into the knowable."
