Despite these benefits, physicians, particularly those in training, often face significant obstacles when attempting to meet their breastfeeding and pumping goals. In response to these challenges, the American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) and a diverse group of health care professionals have come together to advocate for comprehensive lactation support policies in medical learning environments and workplaces.

Isolated Ovarian Metastasis from Pancreatic Cancer Mimicking Primary Ovarian Neoplasia: Role of Molecular Analysis in Determining Diagnosis.

In this study, we present the case of a 64-year-old female with a chief complaint of abdominal pain and bloating, which had been persistent over a period of 4 months. Imaging revealed a 6.1-cm left-sided pancreatic mass as well as a 19.

Phrenic nerve injury secondary to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in pregnancy: A case report.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used to provide acute respiratory and/or hemodynamic support to patients with severe, refractory respiratory failure. Phrenic nerve injury with subsequent hemidiaphragm paralysis should be included in the differential diagnosis of pregnant women with persistent hypoxia after ECMO cannulation.

Expedited Scheduling of Interval Tubal Ligation: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: To assess whether expedited scheduling for permanent contraception increases the proportion of patients completing interval tubal ligation within 6 months of delivery.

Methods: We randomly assigned patients with unfulfilled immediate postpartum tubal ligation requests to standard scheduling after a postpartum office visit or an expedited process in which we scheduled the interval tubal ligation surgery before discharge from the hospital. The primary outcome was proportion of participants undergoing tubal contraceptive procedures within 6 months of delivery.

Obstetrics and Gynecology and Family Medicine Residents' Training and Knowledge on Emergency Contraception.

Emergency contraception (EC) has the potential to play a vital role in preventing unintended pregnancies after unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure. Residency training can influence practice behaviors, however, the extent to which EC-related information is taught in training programs remains unknown. This study examined where residents obtain information about EC and whether knowledge differs by resident program characteristics.
