Didactic Instruction's Impact on Medicolegal Quality of Radiation Oncology Resident Physician Documentation.

Effective documentation serves as a cornerstone for communication and patient care, especially in radiation oncology (RO). Studies have shown room for improvement in documentation practices, and although documentation guidelines exist, it is uncertain if RO physicians are aware of or adhere to them. We aimed to assess RO resident physicians' medicolegal knowledge and the impact of an educational intervention on documentation practices.

Use of Photoacoustic Imaging to Study the Effects of Anemia on Placental Oxygen Saturation in Normoxic and Hypoxic Conditions.

We aimed to evaluate fetal and placental oxygen saturation (sO2) in anemic and non-anemic pregnant rats throughout gestation using photoacoustic imaging (PAI). Female Sprague-Dawley rats were fed an iron-restricted or iron-replete diet before and during pregnancy. On gestational days 13, 18, and 21, PAI was coupled with high resolution ultrasound to measure oxygenation of the fetus, whole placenta, mesometrial triangle, as well as the maternal and fetal faces of the placenta.

Assessing young adults' menopause knowledge to increase understanding of symptoms and help improve quality of life for women going through menopause; a student survey.

Background: Due to menopause being a largely invisible and under-discussed topic in wider society, women often deal with menopause-related complications on their own. Social support and awareness have been shown to reduce negative menopausal experiences; however, lack of menopause knowledge, particularly among younger people, may deter support for women suffering from menopause symptoms. This study aims to assess the level of knowledge young adults have on menopause to be able to create interventions that target knowledge gaps and increase understanding of women's experiences and difficulties during their menopause transition.

Social Isolation Stress Modulates Pregnancy Outcomes and the Inflammatory Profile of Rat Uterus.

Prenatal stressors have been linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes; including preterm birth (PTB). Recent work demonstrates that social isolation in mothers represents a silent stressor contributing to PTB risk. Here; we investigate the association of inflammatory and stress markers with PTB risk in Long-Evans rats exposed to social isolation stress (SIS) during preconception and pregnancy across four generations (F0-F3).
