Posterior uterine wall rupture in an unscarred uterus in a term pregnancy; a case report.

Uterine rupture is a catastrophic separation of the uterine walls due to several risk factors. It is a common complication of scarred uterus during labor and delivery. Early detection is associated with better maternal and fetal outcomes.

A rare case report: An early second trimester cystic hygroma with hydrops fetalis.

Cystic hygroma is a congenital lymphatic malformation characterized by fluid-filled cysts, often located in the neck or axillary regions, and is associated with significant fetal morbidity and mortality. This case report details a 32-year-old gravida 7 para 6 at 15 weeks of gestation, diagnosed prenatally with a large cystic hygroma exhibiting septation in the cervicoccipital and axillary region, accompanied by bilateral pleural effusion, pericardial effusion and subcutaneous edema. This report underscores the importance of early diagnosis and the need to carefully consider management options in cases of cystic hygroma with fetal hydrops.

Promoting evidence-based practices for breast cancer care through web-based collaborative learning.

The Knowledge Summaries for Comprehensive Breast Cancer Control (KSBCs) are a series of 14 publications aligned with World Health Organization guidance on evidence-based breast cancer control and accepted frameworks for action. To study utilization of the KSBCs in the development of locally relevant breast cancer control policies and programs in limited resource settings, the National Cancer Institute Center for Global Health, the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center developed the Project ECHO® for KSBCs (KSBC ECHO). Project ECHO is an online model which employs case-based learning, while promoting multi-directional learning and network-building.

Rat behavior and dopamine release are modulated by conspecific distress.

Rats exhibit 'empathy' making them a model to understand the neural underpinnings of such behavior. We show data consistent with these findings, but also that behavior and dopamine (DA) release reflects subjective rather than objective evaluation of appetitive and aversive events that occur to another. We recorded DA release in two paradigms: one that involved cues predictive of unavoidable shock to the conspecific and another that allowed the rat to refrain from reward when there were harmful consequences to the conspecific.
