Nearly 300 students from a variety of health-oriented academic programs recently took part in Oakland University s fifth annual Interprofessional Education Workshop on opioid abuse. Although this year s event was held virtually due to the coronavirus pandemic, it featured plenty of insights into the challenges and opportunities health professionals have to deliver the highest quality of patient care.
This year s event was focused on Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), a withdrawal syndrome that can occur in newborns exposed to certain substances, including opioids, during pregnancy. NAS develops in about 50-80% of all newborns exposed to narcotics in utero and is characterized by the withdrawal symptoms (high-pitched cry, irritability, tremors, jitteriness etc.) that occur as the drugs gradually clear from the baby s system.

After 28 hours of labor and a New Year s kiss, a Gibraltar couple welcomed their second child into the world.
Gia Rose Nicoletti was born at 12:42 a.m. Jan. 1, the first baby at Beaumont Health s eight-hospital system in 2021.
