Background And Objectives: Addressing the issues of workplace advancement, resilience, and retention within medicine is crucial for creating a culture of equity, respect, and inclusivity especially towards women and nonbinary (WNB) providers including advanced practice providers (APPs), most notably those from marginalized groups. This also directly impacts healthcare quality, patient outcomes, and overall patient and employee satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to amplify the voices on challenges faced by WNB providers within a pediatric academic healthcare organization, to rank workplace interventions addressing advancement, resilience, and retention highlighting urgency towards addressing these issues, and, lastly, to provide suggestions on how to improve inclusivity.

- Adding concurrent chemotherapy to radiotherapy enhances treatment outcomes for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, with a meta-analysis indicating better disease control with a hypofractionated schedule.
- The RAIDER clinical trial compared standard and adaptive radiotherapy in patients with unifocal bladder cancer, assessing acute toxicity based on therapy and fractionation schedules.
- Results showed that individuals receiving concomitant therapy experienced significantly higher rates of acute grade 2+ gastrointestinal toxicity in the 20-fraction group, but not in the 32-fraction group, highlighting differences in toxicity based on treatment regimens.
Kallmann syndrome (KS) is a rare genetic disorder that refers to the association between hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and anosmia or hyposmia due to abnormal migration of olfactory axons and gonadotropin-releasing hormone-producing neurons. Here, we present a case of a 40-year-old man who presented with psychological problems (emotional disturbance) as the chief complaint. Physical examination revealed gynecomastia, absence of facial and axillary hair, and sparse pubic hair, micropenis, undescended right testicle, low libido and lack of sexual function.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed through PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases. The intervention group was patients receiving percutaneous balloon angioplasty using the DCB.
