Objective: To determine if the use of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) increased after the Dobbs decision leak on May 2, 2022, and after the Dobbs final ruling on June 24, 2022, compared with before the Dobbs decision.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Subjects: Patients who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) within a large fertility network geographically distributed across six states from June 2021 through June 2023.
Introduction: The future of training in second trimester surgical abortions with dilation and evacuation (D&E) procedures faces ongoing legal and political scrutiny; thus, adjuncts to standard clinical experiences are exceedingly important. We sought to build medical trainees' surgical familiarity with D&Es using a realistic simulation model.
Methods: The simulation began with an instructional video reviewing accessible and affordable materials used to build the fetal model (vaginal swabs, styrofoam ball, and putty) and the uterine model (collapsible water bottle).
Live birth after uterine-sparing treatment of pyometra following abdominal myomectomy: A case report.

Article Synopsis
- Pyometra is a rare condition characterized by pus in the uterus, which can cause serious complications like uterine perforation.
- A 33-year-old woman experienced post-operative perforated pyometra after a myomectomy, but instead of a hysterectomy, she received conservative treatment that included surgical cleaning and antibiotics.
- This case demonstrates the effectiveness of uterine-sparing approaches in selected patients, enabling the woman to later achieve a successful pregnancy.
Introduction: Simulation has rapidly expanded in obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) for teaching surgical skills, reinforcing medical knowledge and assessing surgical proficiency. Low-fidelity simulations are typically lower cost to produce and have been proven to be beneficial for surgical training. The aim of this study is to describe an innovative simulation competition among residency programs to develop, present, and share low-cost, low-fidelity surgical simulation.
