The Mayo, Cushing, and Osler Influence on A. L. Rhoton: A Historical Vignette of the Interconnectedness Between Highly Influential Neurosurgery Leaders over 100 Years.

The careers of the Mayo brothers, Harvey Cushing, and Sir William Osler greatly shaped medical and surgical practice in the late 19th century and early 20th century and created a legacy to influence decades of physicians to follow. Additionally, these individuals were instrumental in the founding of neurosurgery as a distinct surgical specialty. Alongside these great men, Dr.

Feasibility and efficacy of ultrasonographic and laparoscopic guidance for microwave ablation of clinically normal canine ovaries.

Objective: To determine the optimal energy profile for and to assess the feasibility and efficacy of ultrasonographic and laparoscopic guidance for microwave ablation (MWA) of clinically normal canine ovaries.

Sample: 44 extirpated ovaries from 22 healthy dogs.

Procedures: In the first of 2 trials, 13 dogs underwent oophorectomy by routine laparotomy.

Postnatal pediatric systemic antibiotic episodes during the first three years of life are not associated with mode of delivery.

Background: Delivery by cesarean section (C-section) is associated with adverse short-term and long-term infant outcomes. Given that antibiotics during early life are prescribed for infant outcomes that are more likely among c-section deliveries, we hypothesized that postnatal antibiotic exposure will be greater among c-section infants compared to vaginally delivered infants.

Objective: The aim of this paper was to evaluate if mode of infant delivery was associated with patterns of systemic antibiotic exposure in children during their first three years.

Fertility preservation in breast cancer with case-based examples for guidance.

With more young breast cancer survivors, a trend toward having children later in life, and improvements in assisted reproductive technology (ART), fertility preserving techniques are of growing importance prior to initiation of gonadotoxic treatments. The American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) updated their Fertility Preservation in Patients with Cancer guidelines in April of 2018. ASCO continues to recognize oocyte and embryo cryopreservation as standard practice for women interested in preserving fertility and sperm cryopreservation as standard practice for men.

The Neuroanatomy of Reproduction: Seeing Is Believing.

The brain is the central controller of reproduction and the menstrual cycle. Reproductive endocrinologists spend their days treating patients with perturbations in reproduction as a result of pituitary diseases and manipulate pituitary hormones to enhance fertility and quality of life. Microscopic neuroanatomical images will allow a better understanding of how a tumor in the pituitary might affect vision, or a mass in the brain might cause amenorrhea.

The National Physicians Cooperative: transforming fertility management in the cancer setting and beyond.

Once unimaginable, fertility management is now a nationally established part of cancer care in institutions, from academic centers to community hospitals to private practices. Over the last two decades, advances in medicine and reproductive science have made it possible for men, women and children to be connected with an oncofertility specialist or offered fertility preservation soon after a cancer diagnosis. The Oncofertility Consortium's National Physicians Cooperative is a large-scale effort to engage physicians across disciplines - oncology, urology, obstetrics and gynecology, reproductive endocrinology, and behavioral health - in clinical and research activities to enable significant progress in providing fertility preservation options to children and adults.

Case-based care for pre-existing or new-onset mood disorders in patients undergoing infertility therapy.

The inability to conceive is an immensely stressful event in a woman's life. Thus, it is no surprise that women with infertility have twice the rates of depressive symptoms as women without infertility. Incidence of depression in the general female population is approximately 20% compared to almost 40% in infertile females.

Obesity and reproduction: a study to determine how effectively medical education enhances awareness of the reproductive risks related to obesity.

Objective: To explore awareness of the reproductive versus the medical risks of obesity in a medical and non-medical college educated population.

Methods: An exploratory prospective research design was used. A 26-question online survey was developed and offered to a sample of medical students/residents (n=325) and non-medical college students (n=102).
