Objectives: The objective of this article is to describe the design and implementation of a multimodal, student-driven, sex- and gender-based women's health (SGBWH) elective with a curricular focus on patient and legislative advocacy. In this single arm, pre/post design, interventional study, we detail and evaluate the use of social media, newsletters, and round-table discussions in conjunction with a traditional lecture-based educational format to engage medical students in a virtual learning environment.
Methods: We developed a 22-week SGBWH curriculum for pre-clinical and clinical medical students, which included a series of lectures on multi-specialty and gender-inclusive topics related to SGBWH, small group discussions with community leaders and legislators involved in women's health advocacy, and other self-directed resources such as social media, a website, and digital newsletters.
Background: Among guidelines on gestational diabetes mellitus, there is an incongruity about the threshold of maternal hyperglycemia to diagnose gestational diabetes mellitus.
Objective: This study aimed to ascertain the association between continuous glucose monitoring metrics and adverse outcomes among individuals undergoing gestational diabetes mellitus screening.
Study Design: This was a prospective study (from June 2020 to January 2022) of individuals who underwent 2-step gestational diabetes mellitus screening at ≤30 weeks of gestation.
Objective: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has become available for women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) during pregnancy. The recommended time in range (TIR, blood glucose 70-140 mg/dL) and its correlation with adverse pregnancy outcomes in this group is unknown. Our aim was to compare maternal and neonatal outcomes in pregnant people with T2DM or GDM with average CGM TIR values >70 versus ≤70%.

Study Design: This study was a retrospective study of all people using CGM during pregnancy from January 2017 to May 2021 at a tertiary care center.
Adult onset Still's disease (AOSD) and lymphomas are diseases characterized by very similar clinical and histopathological manifestations. The association between these diseases has rarely been reported in the literature. We here report the case of a 26-year old patient diagnosed with adult onset Still's disease.
