State Abortion Policy and Moral Distress Among Clinicians Providing Abortion After the Dobbs Decision.

Importance: Moral distress occurs when individuals feel powerless to do what they think is right, including when clinicians are prevented from providing health care they deem necessary. The loss of federal protections for abortion following the Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization Supreme Court decision may place clinicians providing abortion at risk of experiencing moral distress, as many could face new legal and civil penalties for providing care in line with professional standards and that they perceive as necessary.

Objective: To assess self-reported moral distress scores among abortion-providing clinicians following the Dobbs decision overall and by state-level abortion policy.

Duration of Induction of Labor for Second-Trimester Medication Abortion and Adverse Outcomes.

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between duration of labor during second-trimester medication abortion and adverse outcomes.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study including all individuals with a singleton gestation undergoing second-trimester medication abortion without evidence of advanced cervical dilation, rupture of membranes, or preterm labor at four centers. The primary exposure was duration of labor (ie, hours spent from receiving misoprostol to fetal expulsion).

Sexual Health for Transgender and Gender Diverse Individuals: Routine Examination, Sexually-Transmitted Infection Screening, and Prevention.

Gynecologists play a critical role in the office evaluation of transgender and gender diverse individuals. This includes the provision of essential healthcare services including the treatment and prevention of human immunodeficiency virus and sexually-transmitted infections and screening for human papillomavirus infection-related diseases and cancers. Caring for patients who identify as transgender or gender diverse (TGD) and who have undergone gender-affirming surgical treatments is challenging due in part to clinical gaps in knowledge resulting from insufficient training and educational resources.

Anticipatory Counseling About Miscarriage Management in Catholic Hospitals: A Qualitative Exploration of Women's Preferences.

Context: Catholic hospitals represent a large and growing segment of U.S. health care.

Restrictions on Reproductive Care at Catholic Hospitals: A Qualitative Study of Patient Experiences and Perspectives.

Background: Previous studies have shown that many women who would seek care at Catholic hospitals are unaware of the hospital's religious affiliation. Furthermore, women often do not realize that these institutions operate according to religious beliefs that restrict access to certain reproductive services. Our study aimed to gain patient perspectives on experiences seeking reproductive care at religiously affiliated institutions.

Do women know whether their hospital is Catholic? Results from a national survey.

Objectives: Catholic healthcare limits access to common reproductive care. We assessed what percentage of US women seeking care at Catholic hospitals are aware of their hospital's religious affiliation and identified variables associated with correct identification.

Study Design: We conducted a national survey of women ages 18-45 (response rate 50%).

Incidence and Characterization of Hypoesthesia in the Distribution of the Infrapatellar Branch of the Saphenous Nerve after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Prospective Study of Patient-Reported Numbness.

The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of patient-reported numbness following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), if postoperative numbness dissipates with time, and how the graft type affects numbness severity. A total of 218 patients undergoing ACLR were prospectively enrolled. At 6 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively, patients completed a questionnaire assessing numbness severity and location.

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft versus allograft in skeletally mature patients aged 25 years or younger.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes and revision rates of skeletally mature patients aged 25 years or younger who have undergone either BPTB autograft or deep-frozen, non-irradiated BPTB allograft ACL reconstruction by a single surgeon.

Methods: Two hundred and twenty-four patients aged 25 or younger at the time of surgery were identified as having a transtibial ACL reconstruction with either a BPTB autograft or deep-frozen, non-irradiated BPTB allograft by one senior surgeon (101 autografts vs. 123 allografts) over the study time period.

Functional outcomes after bilateral arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Background: Arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears is a common procedure performed by orthopedic surgeons. There is a well-known incidence of up to 35% of bilateral rotator cuff tear disease in patients who have a known unilateral tear. The majority of the literature focuses on outcomes after unilateral surgery.

Results of ACL reconstruction with tibial Retroscrew fixation: Comparison of clinical outcomes and tibial tunnel widening.

Unlabelled: ACL reconstruction with the RetroScrew™ shows superior clinical outcomes compared to historical Achilles allograft studies with antegrade screws. Addition of antegrade screw augmentation to retrograde fixation causes an increase in tibial tunnel widening.

Introduction: In traditional antegrade screw fixation of Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) soft tissue allografts, the screw is secured in the opposite direction of graft tension, potentially altering the appropriate tension on the graft.
