57. Fistula Formation from Chronic Presence of a Vaginal Foreign Body
Small vaginal foreign bodies (FB) in adolescent girls are common, resulting in simple outpatient removal without major sequelae. However, persisting FBs can result in serious complications, such as becoming deeply embedded, perforations, fistula formation involving multiple organs, and needing complex surgeries.

74. Labial Adhesion Mimicking a Persistent Urogenital Sinus in a Reproductive-Aged Woman: a Case Report
Labial adhesion is a condition generally associated with hypoestrogenic status of prepubertal girls but can also occur during reproductive years related to vulvar trauma (mutilation, delivery, sexual abuse) or inflammatory diseases (herpes, lichen, lupus). In severe and long-standing cases, it can mimic congenital anomalies, such as persistent urogenital sinus (PUS), when is difficult to distinguish the characteristic midline raphe of a fusion. The purpose of this case it to portray the difficulties of the differential diagnosis of persistent labial adhesions and congenital malformations. (Source: Journal of Pediatric and ...

84. Mature Ovarian Dermoid Cyst Trajectory in Premenarchal Girls
This study aims to assess characteristics associated with expectant management (EM) vs surgical management (SM) in premenarchal patients, to assess growth rate of ODCs in patients expectantly managed, and to investigate rates of oophorectomy versus cystectomy in patients who had surgery (Source: Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology)

96. Ovarian Torsion After Oophoropexy: A Retrospective Review Through the NASPAG Fellows Research Consortium
Pediatric ovarian torsion (OT) is rare and occurs more frequently in premenarchal girls, presumably due to prepubertal adnexal anatomy. There is little literature examining the rate of recurrent OT after oophoropexy (OP), though this operation is commonly performed to prevent OT and preserve the gonad. We sought to determine the rate of OT after OP (by plication or fixation) in a pediatric population to determine the success of OP for preventing recurrent OT.

108. Prevalence of bleeding disorders in adolescents presenting with heavy menstrual bleeding and anemia
Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is one of the most common gynecologic disorders among adolescents. While anovulatory bleeding (AB) is usually the underlying cause, a previously undiagnosed bleeding disorder (BD) can also may also lead to such bleeding. It has been reported that approximately 20% of adolescents with HMB and up to 33% of girls hospitalized for HMB may have BD. The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence of BD in a population of adolescents who were evaluated for HMB and whose hemoglobin values were 12 and below (Source: Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology)

1. Adverse Obstetrical Outcomes are Increased in Adolescent Pregnancy
Adolescent pregnancy is defined as pregnancy before the age of 20 and is the leading cause of mortality in girls ages 15 to 19 worldwide. Adolescent pregnancies are associated with increased maternal, obstetric, and neonatal risks, however data is limited. Our objective was to compare the risk of adverse obstetrical outcomes in teenage pregnancies to adult pregnancies. (Source: Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology)

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 427: Factors Associated with Insured Children & rsquo;s Use of Physician Visits, Dentist Visits, Hospital Care, and Prescribed Medications in the United States: An Application of Behavioral Model of Health-Services Use
This study is the first to examine factors in the utilization of physician services, dentist services, hospital care, and prescribed medications focusing exclusively on insured children in the United States. Data describing 48,660 insured children were extracted from the 2021 National Survey of Children’s Health. Children in the present sample were covered by private health insurance, public health insurance, or other health insurance. Logistic regression results showed self-reported health to be negatively associated with physician visits, hospital-care use, and prescription use, but teeth condition to be po...

Uretrovaginal reflux as a cause of daytime intermitent urinary incontinency in a 14-year old girl
Urethrovaginal reflux (UVR) as a cause of daytime intermittent urinary incontinence (DUI) in girls is an extremely rare clinical phenomenon and rarely described in the literature. A small number of papers on UVR in pediatric age have been published in the PubMed database, some of which I present in the literature [1 –5]. As a contribution to this rare phenomenon, we present a case from our own clinical practice. (Source: European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology)

Environmental exposure to melamine and its derivatives and kidney outcomes in children

We assessed cross-sectional associations between childhood exposure to melamine and its derivatives and biomarkers of kidney injury and health and explored potential heterogeneity by sex suggested by sex-dependent differences in renal physiology.

Attachment style to body dissatisfaction, restrained eating, and disordered eating in adolescent girls: Differential weight communication mediators
Appetite. 2024 Mar 28:107321. doi: 10.1016/j.appet.2024.107321. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBody dissatisfaction and eating behaviors are disproportionately elevated amongst adolescent girls. Family relationships represent a context in which adolescent girls' body image issues emerge. Thus, we integrated attachment and confirmation theories to examine whether weight related supportive messages (i.e., acceptance and challenge) mediated the relationship between attachment style (i.e., anxiety and avoidance) and body image outcomes (i.e., body dissatisfaction (BD), restrained eating (RE), and disordered eating (DE)). Accept...
