Condom use and incident sexually transmitted infection after initiation of long-acting reversible contraception.

Background: Use of more effective contraception may lead to less condom use and increased incidence of sexually transmitted infection.

Study Design: This is a secondary analysis of the Contraceptive CHOICE Project.

Ovarian complete hydatidiform mole: case study with molecular analysis and review of the literature.

At presentation, the patient underwent excision of a hemorrhagic left ovarian cyst, with routine sections demonstrating a hemorrhagic corpus luteum with a single microscopic focus of detached atypical trophoblast, without chorionic villi.
