Greetings, and welcome to MD News Long Island. Our cover story profiles the team in the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Division at NewYork-Presbyterian Queens — led by Daniel Skupski, MD, Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at NewYork-Presbyterian Queens, an obstetrician and gynecologist with NewYork- Presbyterian Medical Group Queens, and a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Weill Cornell Medicine — and their successful methods and approach to care that result in more than 4,000 infant deliveries annually. In our Legal Ease section, we examine the still-prevalent Zika virus and the steps that obstetricians can take to properly counsel their patients and help avoid liability ramifications down the line. A clinical trial has sparked hopes for significant progress in the fight against Alzheimer's disease. We examine the findings in our special clinical section about neurology. We also review a study linking maternal rheumatoid arthritis to childhood epilepsy risk. And we provide a roundup of other neurology news. In our national feature, we look at research showing a glucose-lowering drug reduces cardiovascular mortality and morbidity among people with Type 2 diabetes and existing cardiovascular disease.
