Adenoid basal cell carcinoma: An underrecognized cervical malignancy.

Introduction: Adenoid basal cell carcinoma is a rare cervical malignancy which is indolent in nature but resembles more commonly occurring aggressive malignancies.

Cases: Here we describe three cases of cervical adenoid basal cell carcinoma. All patients had a history of cervical dysplasia with high-risk HPV.

The effect of older age on treatment outcomes in women with advanced ovarian cancer receiving chemotherapy: An NRG-Oncology/Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG-0182-ICON5) ancillary study.

Objective: To assess the effect of age on overall survival (OS) in women with ovarian cancer receiving chemotherapy. Secondary objectives were to describe the effect of age on treatment compliance, toxicities, progression free survival (PFS), time from surgery to chemotherapy, and rates of optimal cytoreduction.

Methods: Women enrolled in GOG 0182-ICON5 with stage III or IV epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) who underwent surgery and chemotherapy between 2001 and 2004 were included.

Intestinal type adenocarcinoma of the endometrium with signet ring cells, a rare aggressive variant.

Objective: Intestinal type mucinous adenocarcinoma (iMACE) is a rare and unusual variant of mucinous carcinoma of the endometrium that can show focal features of poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas of gastric, pancreatic or intestinal origin by producing signet ring cells. To date, only two reported cases of signet ring cells as a morphological feature of iMACE have been reported. Alterations in E-cadherin expression have been linked to increased metastatic potential, tumor dedifferentiation, and deep myometrial invasion in endometrial carcinomas.

Nosocomial COVID-19 infection in women undergoing elective cesarean delivery: a prospective cohort study.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic placed obstetricians in a difficult position of continuing to perform elective cesarean delivery without the knowledge of the risk of the spread of nosocomial infection of the COVID-19 virus.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the nosocomial infection rate in women undergoing elective cesarean delivery at 2 academic institutions.

Study Design: This nonrandomized prospective cohort trial evaluated patients undergoing elective cesarean delivery during the reopening phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in the state of New York at 2 large volume labor and delivery units.

Toward the Quadruple Aim: Impact of a Humanistic Mentoring Program to Reduce Burnout and Foster Resilience.

Objective: To assess the effect of a faculty development program (Mentoring and Professionalism in Training [MAP-IT]) that fosters humanism in medicine on elements of burnout and the development of resilience.

Participants And Methods: The cohort of participants was drawn from a cross-section of disciplines and represented a diverse group of health professionals, including physicians, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists, psychologists, social workers, and chaplains. The 106 participants were divided into 12 groups, each of which was facilitated by two or three leaders.
