Baptist Women’s Hospital celebrates Thanksgiving in the NICU - WVLT

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Some Mid-South families had to celebrate Thanksgiving without their newest family members this holiday, so staff at one hospital brought the festivities to their tiniest patients so the little ones wouldn't miss out on their very first Thanksgiving.

Newborn babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (or NICU) usually have to stay behind after birth until they are healthy enough to go home with their parents.

So, workers at Baptist Women's Hospital decided to bring the celebrations to the NICU instead.

Take a look at some of the little ones dressed as turkeys to celebrate the holiday.

inherited kidney disease :: Article Creator Hyperuricemia Ups Chronic Kidney Disease Risk Even With No Genetic Predisposition Hyperuricemia increases the risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD), whether or not an individual is genetically predisposed to it, investigators reported at the American Society of Nephrology's Kidney Week 2023 meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Yaerim Kim, MD, PhD, of the Keimyung University School of Medicine in Daegu, Korea, and colleagues conducted a genome-wide association study of mostly White individuals in the United Kingdom Biobank. From 459,155 samples, they identified 438,253 clinical data points and 4,307,940 single nucleotide polymorphisms. Polygenic risk scores positively correlated with CKD development. Hyperuricemia was significantly associated with 54% increased odds of CKD across the range of polygenic risk scores, especially in those with low genetic risk, the investigators reported.
