Objective: To estimate the cost of Rhesus (Rh) testing and prophylaxis for first-trimester vaginal bleeding in the ambulatory setting.
Study Design: We used time-driven, activity-based costing to analyze tasks associated with Rh testing and prophylaxis of first-trimester vaginal bleeding at one hospital-based outpatient and two independent reproductive health clinics. At each site, we observed 10 patients undergoing Rh-typing and two patients undergoing Rh prophylaxis.
Limited data indicates that homelessness during pregnancy is linked to adverse outcomes for both mothers and newborns, but there is an information gap surrounding pregnant individuals struggling with homelessness. In a landscape of increasing healthcare disparities, housing shortages and maternal mortality, information on this vulnerable population is fundamental to the creation of targeted interventions and outreach. The current study investigates homelessness as a risk factor for adverse obstetrical, neonatal, and postpartum outcomes.

- Intramyometrial pregnancies are rare, accounting for about 1% of all ectopic pregnancies, and often require surgical intervention.
- A 32-year-old woman was diagnosed with this condition at 6 weeks of pregnancy, confirmed through ultrasound and MRI, and was successfully treated with multidose methotrexate.
- The case highlights that multidose methotrexate can be considered a viable treatment option for stable patients with intramyometrial pregnancies when surgical access is limited.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of virtual group contraceptive counseling in the abortion care setting.
Study Design: Patients seeking abortion care at an urban university hospital were invited to participate in this cohort study. Prior to their clinical appointments, groups of two to six patients participated in 45-minute virtual contraceptive counseling visits facilitated by study staff.
Male bighorn sheep () participate in seasonal ramming bouts that can last for hours, yet they do not appear to suffer significant brain injury. Previous work has shown that the keratin-rich horn and boney horncore may play an important role in mitigating brain injury by reducing brain cavity accelerations through energy dissipating elastic mechanisms. However, the extent to which specific horn shapes (such as the tapered spiral of bighorn sheep) may reduce accelerations post-impact remains unclear.

Also, to compare patient acceptability between the two modalities.
Study Design: This pragmatic multisite randomized noninferiority trial compared TAS to TVS at 10 New York City and New Jersey health centers that provide medical abortion.
Objective: To review systematically medical-legal cases of sleep-related violence (SRV) and sexual behavior in sleep (SBS).

This cross-sectional survey aimed to investigate nurses' opinions and practices regarding information and consent in the context of a large Italian teaching hospital and to explore potential influences of gender, age, university education, length of professional experience, and care setting. A questionnaire was administered to 282 nurses from six different care settings (Emergency Room, Emergency Medicine, Surgery, Hematology-Oncology, Geriatrics, and Internal Medicine). Overall, 84% (n = 237) of nurses returned the questionnaire (men: 24%; mean age: 36.
