Curr Opin Obstet Gynecol
August 2023
Purpose Of Review: Previous modeling data suggest ovarian conservation up to age 65 for women without adnexal disease and at average risk of ovarian cancer because of an increase in mortality associated with ovarian removal. Recent modeling data challenges this practice. This review of recent literature will update providers regarding consideration for oophorectomy at time of benign hysterectomy.

- The study looks at how often placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) happens in pregnancies after women have undergone a specific treatment for a condition called Asherman syndrome (AS).
- Out of 355 patients treated for AS, 97 got pregnant beyond the first trimester, and 23.7% of them had PAS, with previous cesarean deliveries being a significant risk factor.
- Many patients with PAS faced serious complications, like needing a cesarean hysterectomy or experiencing uterine rupture, highlighting the need for better ways to diagnose and predict PAS in these pregnancies.

The most recent studies examining overuse injury rates in high school sports were based on data from 2012 to 2013 and, therefore, may not reflect current overuse injury rates in high school sports.
Objective: To (1) determine overuse time-loss (TL) and non-time-loss (NTL) injury rates among high school student-athletes using National Athletic Treatment, Injury and Outcomes Network Surveillance Program (NATION-SP) data collected from 2014-2015 to 2018-2019 and (2) compare overuse injury rates based on student-athlete sex defined by whether it was a boys' sport or a girls' sport, the sport itself, and the injury location.

Article Synopsis
- The gut microbiome helps our bodies by producing vitamins and nutrients and supporting our immune system, but we still don’t fully understand how different germs affect our health when we’re exposed to chemicals.
- Researchers studied how the gut microbiome in fruit flies reacts to the common herbicide atrazine and found that the effects can be different for male and female flies and really depend on the kinds of germs present.
- They discovered a specific type of bacteria called Acetobacter tropicalis that can help break down atrazine and reduce its harmful effects, showing that our gut germs can help protect us from harmful chemicals.
