Phenotypes of Pelvic Organ Prolapse.

Importance: The Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) stages do not correlate with symptoms or characterize important prolapse subtypes.

Objectives: We hypothesize that clinically meaningful prolapse "phenotypes" utilizing POP-Q measurements can be defined. The primary aim was to define the phenotypes and their frequency.

Use of Freestyle Libre 2.0 in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus and elevated HbA: Extension phase results after a 12-week randomized controlled trial.

Aim: To investigate extension phase outcomes with intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM 2.0) in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and elevated HbA (7.5-12.

Impact of education and clinic site champion on extragenital testing for sexually transmitted infections.

Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are on the rise in the United States. Infections at extragenital (EG) sites (throat or rectum) may serve as an overlooked reservoir for STIs. The aims of this project were to determine the proportion of patients receiving EG testing and to observe the impact of an educational intervention.

Emergency department use in the postpartum period: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Visits to the emergency room (ED) by women in the postpartum period may reflect gaps in postpartum care and disparities in access to obstetric and primary care services. This study aimed to characterize the patients who visited the ED in the first year after delivery, their reasons for coming to the ED, and the care they received.

Methods: The electronic health record was reviewed for all patients who delivered at University of Iowa Health Care between 2009 and 2023 and visited the ED within 365 days after delivery.

Development of respiratory care guidelines for Duchenne muscular dystrophy in the UK: key recommendations for clinical practice.

Unlabelled: Significant inconsistencies in respiratory care provision for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are reported across different specialist neuromuscular centres in the UK. The absence of robust clinical evidence and expert consensus is a barrier to the implementation of care recommendations in public healthcare systems as is the need to increase awareness of key aspects of care for those living with DMD. Here, we provide evidenced-based and/or consensus-based best practice for the respiratory care of children and adults living with DMD in the UK, both as part of routine care and in an emergency.
