A full-term male neonate with anorectal anomaly and external perineal anomalies was referred to our service. Physical examination showed an epithelized perineal mass with cutaneous orifices, which had urine fistulization, hipotrofic perineal musculature, bilateral congenital clubfoot, hipospadic urethra, criptorquidy bilateral with nonpalpable testis and imperforate anus. A colostomy was constructed immediately after birth. The child underwent excision of perineal mass, bilateral orchidopexy, Duplay neourethroplasty and coloanal anastomosis at 3 months of age. The histopathological examination of the perineal mass revealed a hamartoma.

Women Birth

January 2025

School of Nursing and Midwifery, College of Health, Medicine and Wellbeing, University of Newcastle, Australia.

Background: There are high levels of consumer demand for homebirth in Australia, however access is limited due to a wide range of factors, including associated costs of a private midwife and the limited number of publicly funded homebirth models. Homebirth with a qualified midwife, networked into a health system, is a safe option for women with a low-risk pregnancy. This paper has two aims.

Introduction: Preconception obesity is a risk factor for pregnancy and delivery, which is why giving birth in a perinatal center (care levels I and II) is recommended. There are currently no studies which have investigated the birth outcomes of obese patients based on the care level of the maternity hospital. This study aims to assess the effect of a higher body mass index prior to conception on maternal and fetal outcomes in a maternity hospital (care level IV).

Article Synopsis
  • Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare cancers linked to mutations in the c-KIT gene, with one common mutation being a deletion in exon 11, as seen in an 82-year-old male patient diagnosed in June 2023.
  • The patient subsequently received a low-dose imatinib treatment protocol, starting at 400 mg/day and tapering down to 200 mg/day, which resulted in a reduction of the tumor size over several months.
  • The study suggests that low-dose imatinib can be an effective treatment option for GIST patients with the W557_K558 deletion, especially for those who cannot tolerate higher doses.

Background: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in domestic cattle is an economically significant malignant neoplasm and has been documented primarily in ocular and periocular tissues, vulva, and perineum. SCCs are often slow-growing and locally invasive, but metastasis is uncommon. Increased risk of developing SCC has been predominantly associated with high levels of sunlight exposure and hypopigmentation (skin and conjunctiva).

Maternal and Infant Health Outcomes in US-Born and Non-US-Born Black Pregnant People in the US.

JAMA Netw Open

December 2024

Center of Excellence in Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health, University of California, Berkeley.

Importance: With disparate Black maternal health outcomes in the US and a steadily expanding non-US-born Black population, it is beneficial to investigate Black maternal health outcomes by country of origin.

Objective: To compare the prevalence of maternal morbidity and infant birth outcomes between US-born and non-US-born Black populations in the US.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This cross-sectional study included all registered hospital births in the US from the 2021 National Vital Statistics Systems (NVSS) Natality Data.
