The patient had previously had an intrapartum stillbirth delivered via caesarean section with an atypical uterine incision at 34 weeks' gestation.

Objective: The UK NHS Getting It Right First Time report (2021) recommended that a significant proportion of native tissue vaginal prolapse operations should be undertaken as day-case procedures (target: 80% anterior compartment, 70% posterior compartment, 60% combined anterior/posterior compartment).

Previous studies have shown that 3-day d-amphetamine (AMPH) treatment effectively induced conditioned place preferences (CPP) and impaired pair bonding behaviors in prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster). Using this established animal model and treatment regimen, we examined the effects of the demonstrated threshold rewarding dose of AMPH on various behaviors and their potential underlying neurochemical systems in the brain of female prairie voles. Our data show that 3-day AMPH injections (0.
