The gynecological sequelae of sexual violence in adolescence in the United States: A scoping review.

Background: Women who engage in sexual acts against their will are at high risk for sexual and reproductive health complications including sexually transmitted infections (STIs), menstruation disturbance, infertility, abnormal uterine bleeding, reproductive cancers, dyspareunia, vaginismus, and chronic pelvic pain. However, the occurrence of these gynecological sequelae in women who experienced sexual violence during their youth has not been scoped in the literature. To map the breadth of gynecological sequelae, corresponding interventions, and associated symptomatology in childhood and adolescence, the researchers conducted a scoping review.

The first comparative analysis of open and robotic tracheobronchoplasty for excessive central airway collapse†.

Objectives: Tracheobronchoplasty is an operation to treat excessive central airway collapse by stabilizing the posterior tracheal membrane. In 2020, our institution transitioned from the traditional open approach to the robotic-assisted tracheobronchoplasty in select patients. This retrospective cohort study compares postoperative complications and short-term outcomes for patients undergoing open versus robotic tracheobronchoplasty at a high-volume complex airway centre.

Risk Factors of Pulmonary Embolism in Long-Segment Posterior Thoracolumbar Fusion: Scoring System for Prophylactic Inferior Vena Cava Filter Placement.

Objective: To investigate the factors for pulmonary embolism (PE) development and the necessity of inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement. Specifically, propose a scoring system to identify patient populations who benefit from IVC filter placement.

Methods: A single-institution retrospective cohort study was performed between 2010 and 2022.

Intravenous Fluid Resuscitation Capabilities in Simulated Reduced Gravity.

Critical care for exploration space missions may require intravenous (IV) fluid resuscitation therapy. Resource constraints may limit availability of standard, Earth-based infusion technologies. The effect of variable acceleration on infusion flow rates using simple fluid resuscitation supplies was investigated.
