Objectives: To evaluate efficacy and satisfaction of dextromethorphan as a non-narcotic adjuvant to current analgesic regimens for medication abortion.
Study Design: We conducted a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. We randomized eligible participants (N = 156) 1:1 to adjunctively take dextromethorphan (loading dose 60 mg and two subsequent 30 mg doses at 2 and 5 hours after misoprostol administration) or placebo combined with usual-care nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications ± opioids for pain.
Objective(s): To identify practice-level barriers that adolescents experience when seeking a hormonal intrauterine device (IUD).
Study Design: We secret-shopped gynecological practices within a health system using a script targeting potential practice-level barriers.
Results: We assessed 50 of a targeted 50 practices; only 8 (16%) would schedule a contraceptive appointment that permitted same-day IUD placement.
In this multicenter, cross-sectional study, 561 melanoma patients completed a questionnaire battery 4 years after primary diagnosis. The proportion of melanoma patients with clinically relevant anxiety (p < .001) or depression (p = .

In this study, the course of NGAL was observed and differences of serum- (sNGAL) and urine-NGAL (uNGAL) levels following TAAA repair, especially with regard to AKI, were evaluated.
Patients And Methods: In this retrospective single centre study, 52 patients (mean age 64.
Article Synopsis
- Abnormal uterine anatomy, particularly due to conditions like leiomyomas, can complicate surgical procedures for pregnancy evacuation, leading to increased risks of more invasive surgeries like hysterectomy.
- A case was presented of a 41-year-old woman who required an abortion at 14 weeks of pregnancy, but large leiomyomas made the tissue hard to access with standard tools.
- The study suggests that using an endotracheal tube with suction under ultrasound guidance is a minimally invasive alternative that can effectively achieve uterine evacuation in such challenging scenarios.
