Pregnancies at the Uterotubal Junction: A Review of Terminology (Interstitial, Cornual, and Angular) and Recommendations for Management.

Ectopic pregnancies are one of the most common causes of obstetric mortality worldwide. Interstitial ectopic pregnancies, defined as an extracavitary pregnancy within the portion of the Fallopian tube that transverses the myometrium, have reported mortality rates approximately seven times higher than all types of ectopic pregnancy combined. In contrast, intracavitary eccentric gestations, often labeled as "cornual" or "angular" pregnancies, have reportedly high rates of live birth.

Management of partial Müllerian agenesis: staged McIndoe procedure for the creation of a neovagina and utero-neovaginal unification.

Introduction: The objectives of this video are to provide a brief overview of Müllerian agenesis, discuss a case of partial vaginal agenesis with a functional uterus, and present the steps of a staged McIndoe procedure for the creation of a neovagina and utero-neovaginal unification.

Methods: We give an overview of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome, and review its incidence, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment options. We present the case of a 23-year-old woman with partial vaginal agenesis, and her clinical course through conservative management with hormonal suppression and dilator therapy leading up to urogynecological surgical treatment.

Understanding and identifying the needs of parent caregivers of children with hydrocephalus: a qualitative study.

Objective: Hydrocephalus is inherently unpredictable. Most parents whose child is diagnosed with hydrocephalus do not anticipate the diagnosis, nor can anyone predict if or when a child's shunt will fail and require emergency surgery. Previous research has shown that children with hydrocephalus and their caregivers experience significant posttraumatic stress symptoms secondary to the diagnosis.

Utility of a Continuous External Tissue Expander in Complex Pediatric Wound Reconstruction.

Background: Soft tissue reconstruction following traumatic injury can be devastating. Reconstructive treatment modalities can prove to be complex. DermaClose (Synovis Micro Companies Alliance, Inc) is a relatively novel wound closure device that has gained popularity for continuous external tissue expansion (CETE).

Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms in Caregivers and Children with Hydrocephalus.

Objective: Hydrocephalus is a disorder of cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, traditionally treated by placement of a ventricular shunt. Shunts are effective but imperfect as they fail in an unpredictable pattern, and the patient's well-being is dependent on adequate shunt function. The omnipresent threat of shunt failure along with the potential need for invasive investigations can be stressful for patients and caregivers.

Anxiety, depression, fatigue, and headache burden in the pediatric hydrocephalus population.

Objective: Childhood hydrocephalus is a common chronic medical condition. However, little is known about the burden of headache and psychological comorbidities in children living with hydrocephalus. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and severity of these conditions among the pediatric hydrocephalus population.

Hydrocephalus-related quality of life as assessed by children and their caregivers.

Objective: Hydrocephalus is a chronic medical condition that has a significant impact on children and their caregivers. The objective of this study was to measure the quality of life (QOL) of children with hydrocephalus, as assessed by both caregivers and patients.

Methods: Pediatric patients with hydrocephalus and their caregivers were enrolled during routine neurosurgery clinic visits.

Os Styloideum Resection Complicated by Severe Contact Dermatitis to 2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate: A Case Study.

Unlabelled: Os styloideum is an accessory wrist bone at the base of the second and third metacarpals. Similar to metacarpal bossing, chronic pain secondary to the development of osteoarthritis and tendon irritation is common. Conservative management consists of splinting and steroid injections, with surgical resection being the definitive treatment.
