We report the anesthetic management of a 16-year-old woman with Fowler's syndrome who became pregnant three years after sacral neuromodulation was initiated for treatment of the condition. Multidisciplinary consensus was to switch off the neurostimulator during pregnancy, and attempt vaginal delivery with a neuraxial block. When the patient was admitted for labor, an epidural catheter was placed successfully. The patient had a normal vaginal delivery. Sacral neuromodulation was restarted uneventfully in the early puerperium and the Fowler's syndrome remains well controlled. The baby continues to develop normally three years after delivery.

Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is an estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC) that was prescribed to millions of pregnant women worldwide, leading to increased rates of infertility in the exposed offspring. We have previously demonstrated that this reduced fertility persists for multiple generations in the mouse. However, how altered ovarian function contributes to this infertility is unknown.

Early teclistamab users commonly received SUD in a hospital setting. This study aimed to evaluate safety and health care resource utilization (HRU) in real-world patients with multiple myeloma who initiated teclistamab SUD in an outpatient setting.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish the impact of area deprivation index (ADI) on treatment timelines of patients with cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS). We hypothesize that increased social deprivation will correlate with increased time between care milestones from presentation to surgery.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients diagnosed with CuTS who underwent surgical intervention at a single academic institution.
(partridgeberry; family Rubiaceae) is a creeping, understory plant native to eastern North America. The twinned, tubular flowers of this distylous plant are bright white and produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Partridgeberry has intermorph incompatibility and thus requires pollinators to move pollen from one morph to the other.
