View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

An explosion in multiple birth rates has generated record numbers of multiple pregnancies and infants. Obstetric and neonatal nurses and those in related practice areas, such as reproductive endocrinology, perinatal education, home health, and lactation services, need special knowledge and resources to provide optimal care for these high-risk families. Multiple birth families have a number of unique health care problems that require directed nursing interventions throughout the perinatal continuum.

Chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia resources on the world wide web: a descriptive journey.

A wealth of information on chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and fibromyalgia is available on the World Wide Web for health care providers and patients. These illnesses have overlapping features, and their etiologies remain unknown. Multiple Web sites were reviewed, and selected sites providing useful information were identified. Sites were classified according to their content and target audience and were judged according to suggested standards of Internet publishing. Fifty-eight sites were classified into groups as follows: comprehensive and research Web sites for CFS and fibromyalgia, meetings, clinical trials, literature search services, bibliographies, journal, and CFS and fibromyalgia Web sites for the patient.
