Health Care Utilization by Patients With Chronic Pelvic Pain
CONCLUSION: Patients with chronic pelvic pain have higher rates of chronic overlapping pain conditions and undergo more ED visits, imaging tests, and hysterectomies than patients without chronic pelvic pain. Improving access to multidisciplinary care, increasing utilization of interventions such as PT and psychological or behavioral therapy, and reducing ED utilization may be possible targets to help reduce overall health care costs and improve patient care.PMID:38696811 | DOI:10.1097/AOG.0000000000005595 (Source: Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Surgical Field Separation in Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Obstet Gynecol. 2024 May 2. doi: 10.1097/AOG.0000000000005596. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe aimed to study whether separating the vaginal and abdominal surgical fields during total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) is associated with surgical site infection rates. This was a retrospective cohort study of all patients who underwent TLH and any concomitant procedures with two minimally invasive gynecologic surgery subspecialists between January 2016 and May 2023. Among 680 included patients, the rate of infection was 0.8% with surgical field separation and 1.3% without (3/377 vs 4/303; odds ratio 0.60, 95% CI, 0.13-2.70). ...

Assessment of a Decade of Change in U.S. Assisted Reproductive Technology Cumulative Live-Birth Rates: 2004-2009 Compared With 2014-2020
CONCLUSION: This analysis provides insights into the changing landscape of ART treatments in the United States over the past two decades. The observed shifts in demographics, clinical practices, and technology highlight the dynamic nature of an evolving field of reproductive medicine. These findings may offer insight for clinicians to consider in counseling patients and to inform future research endeavors in the field of ART.PMID:38696814 | DOI:10.1097/AOG.0000000000005598 (Source: Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Metformin for endometrial hyperplasia
CONCLUSIONS: Review authors found insufficient evidence to either support or refute the use of metformin, specifically megestrol acetate, given alone or in combination with standard therapy, for the treatment of women with endometrial hyperplasia. Robustly designed and adequately powered randomised controlled trials, yielding long-term outcome data are still needed to address this clinical question.PMID:38695827 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD012214.pub3 (Source: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews)

Baron Antoine Dubois and the difficult childbirth of Napoleon I's second wife the Empress Marie Louise on 20 March 1811
ConclusionOur simulation confirmed the practicability of the application of the forceps as assumed by our hypothesis. Definitive proof that this scenario actually happened, cannot be given because there are no written first-hand accounts by Dubois on the delivery.PMID:38696140 | DOI:10.1080/00015458.2024.2350803 (Source: Acta Chirurgica Belgica)

Knowledge of female genital schistosomiasis and urinary schistosomiasis among final-year midwifery students in the Volta Region of Ghana
CONCLUSION: Awareness of FGS was limited among the study participants. The high prevalence of knowledge of some FGS symptoms related to the genitalia needs cautious interpretation. Health care training institutions must make deliberate efforts to highlight FGS in the training of midwives as the condition has diagnostic and management implications for some sexual and reproductive health conditions.PMID:38696499 | DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0302554 (Source: Pain Physician)
