Clinical tools and counseling considerations for breast cancer risk assessment and evaluation for hereditary cancer risk.

Breast cancer is a complex and heterogeneous disease. Unfortunately, it is the most common malignancy diagnosed in women in the USA, with 281,550 new cases of invasive breast cancer and 49,290 new cases of noninvasive breast cancer are diagnosed per year. In England, it is currently estimated that approximately 1 in 7 (14%) women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.

Isodicentric Y mosaicism involving a 46, XX cell line: Implications for management.

Carriers of isodicentric Y (idicY) mosaicism exhibit a wide range of clinical features, including short stature, gonadal abnormalities, and external genital anomalies. However, the phenotypic spectrum for individuals carrying an idicY and a 46, XX cell line is less clearly defined. A more complete description of the phenotype related to idicY is thus essential to guide management related to pubertal development, fertility, and gonadoblastoma risk in mosaic carriers.

Exploring co-parent experiences of sexuality in the first 3 months after birth.

Introduction: Research on postpartum sexuality has focused primarily on mothers, though new findings suggest that relational perceptions may have a strong influence over sexual desire and behavior. Little investigation exists regarding sexuality in partners of postpartum women. Additionally, recent findings point to the importance of a partner's sexuality for postpartum women's perceptions of their own sexuality in this time.

Exploring women's postpartum sexuality: social, psychological, relational, and birth-related contextual factors.

Introduction: Women's postpartum sexuality can be influenced by factors related to physical, personal, and relationship transitions after the newborn arrives. Despite this, many experiential and social factors remain unexplored.

Aims: This study aims to (i) investigate a range of variables thought to influence postpartum sexuality; (ii) expand the focus beyond latency to penis-vagina intercourse; and (iii) assess positive aspects of postpartum sexuality.
