Self-Reported Sexual Behavior of Transgender Youth
: Research indicates transgender/gender diverse (TGD) youth are more likely to engage in sexual behavior, have more sexual partners, and initiate sexual behavior earlier than their cisgender peers. However, no gender-inclusive self-report survey questionnaires (i.e., those that do not assume the gender of sexual partners or body parts used for sex) exist to assess sexual behavior of TGD youth.

Nonsexual Acute Genital Ulcerations as a Rare Presentation of Disseminated Lyme Disease in a Pediatric Patient
Nonsexual acute genital ulcerations (NAGU), also known as Lipsch ütz ulcers, are vulvar ulcers occurring predominantly in adolescent females. While the pathogenesis is unknown, NAGU are commonly associated with systemic infections. Here we present a female child with NAGU along with disseminated Lyme disease. We believe this is the first reported pediatric case of this phenomenon. (Source: Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology)

Surgical Management of OHVIRA and Outcomes
Study objective: Obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly (OHVIRA) includes uterine didelphys, unilateral obstructed hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal anomaly. Surgical management of this condition relies on accurate diagnosis to excise the obstructed longitudinal vaginal septum (OLVS). Vital considerations involve identifying the side affected, ipsilateral renal anomaly (IRA), thickness of the septum (TS), septal axis (SA) and distance of the septum to perineum (DSP). The study aimed to evaluate preoperative characteristics, imaging findings and surgical outcomes of OHVIRA. (Source: Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology)

Vaginal Foreign Bodies in the Pediatric and Adolescent Age Group: A Review of Current Literature and Discussion of Best Practices in Diagnosis and Management
The self-insertion of a vaginal foreign body (VFB) is common in the female pediatric and adolescent age group. Prompt disclosure to parents usually results in a call to the primary care provider and a visit to the pediatrician's office, local emergency department or urgent care center. However, some foreign bodies may go unnoticed for extended periods, causing distressing symptoms and complications. Large case series providing comprehensive epidemiological data on this topic are scarce. This review summarizes the current literature on VFBs and compiles best practices for the diagnosis and management of VFBs in the pediatri...
