- Pregnancy is a key consideration for individuals with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) since MS typically begins during the child-bearing age, affecting Disease-Modifying Therapy (DMT) choice before, during, and after pregnancy.
- This study analyzed data from the US MarketScan Claims Database, focusing on women aged 18-55 with MS from January 2016 to April 2021, aiming to understand DMT use and relapse patterns throughout the pregnancy and postpartum periods.
- Results showed that DMT usage decreased significantly during pregnancy, particularly among Medicaid patients, who had lower DMT utilization compared to commercially insured patients, indicating a need for better guidance on MS management during these times.
Introduction: The focus of morbidity and mortality conferences (M&MCs) has shifted to emphasize quality improvement and systems-level care. However, quality improvement initiatives targeting systems-level errors are challenged by learning in M&MCs, which occurs at the individual attendee level and not at the organizational level. Here, we aimed to describe how organizational learning in M&MCs is optimized by particular organizational and team cultures.

Building on research that suggests punishment is used to regulate social hierarchies, we argue that individuals who are motivated to maintain existing hierarchies will treat male perpetrators of sexual harassment with greater leniency, especially when judging perpetrators of high social status. Conversely, we predict that egalitarians-who are motivated to reduce group-based hierarchies-will judge male perpetrators more harshly, especially those of high social status.

- The study examines the impact of surgically addressing non-R0 resections of rectal neuroendocrine tumors (r-NETs) to prevent disease recurrence.
- It involved a retrospective analysis of 100 patients who underwent endoscopic procedures to remove tumor scars after initial unsuccessful resections.
- The findings indicate that using advanced endoscopic techniques achieved near 100% complete resection (R0) of scars, revealing that residual r-NET was present in 43% of cases.
