For women who present with Bartholin's abscesses, placement of a Word catheter offers a minimally invasive approach for effective management in urgent care and emergency department settings. Although the procedure is relatively simple, the frequency of placement in the ED setting varies. Provider familiarity with both the device and the procedure can be enhanced using simulation techniques. This article presents the diagnostic and treatment approaches to Bartholin's abscesses and describes in detail both low- and high-fidelity simulations for Word catheter placements.

Background: Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel ablation technology. A rare side-effect is the occurrence of mostly subclinical coronary spasms when PF energy is applied in proximity to coronary arteries. However, it has been described that prior application of nitroglycerin attenuates these effects.

Background: Advancements in the medical field and increased survival of premature infants have led to a rise of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in neonates. Neonatal hemostasis exists in a delicate balance with a propensity towards pro-coagulation. Current recommendations include careful observation, therapeutic anti-coagulation and in some cases thrombolysis.
