The first part of this article (Volume 11, No. 1) looked at the formation of ideology in the specialty of obstetrics and gynecology from 1920 to World War II. This was a period of professional establishment and self-definition; it saw the emergence of interventionist ideology as the dominant belief system influencing ob-gyn practice. Part II in this issue begins with the period of optimism and expansion marked by a surging post-war birth rate, and ends in 1980 with the profession on the defensive, feeling "under siege" from both lay and medical forces.

Article Synopsis
- The rise in pregnancy-related deaths in the U.S., particularly for Black patients, highlights a gap in support for recognizing and addressing severe postpartum symptoms due to bias within healthcare systems.
- There is a need for a mobile health (mHealth) solution that empowers Black patients to assess when to seek care for these symptoms and could also help other underrepresented groups.
- Interviews with healthcare professionals and postpartum Black patients identified essential inputs for symptom monitoring and design needs for a supportive decision-making system, emphasizing the importance of patient-centered care.

Introduction: Hysterectomy is one of the most common surgeries performed in women. Minimally invasive methods are on the rise globally as they have been shown to decrease surgical morbidity compared with abdominal hysterectomy. Hysterectomy by vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is the latest innovation.

Background: Nineteen genomic regions have been associated with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). We used data from the Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium (OCAC), Consortium of Investigators of Modifiers of (CIMBA), UK Biobank (UKBB), and FinnGen to identify novel HGSOC susceptibility loci and develop polygenic scores (PGS).
Methods: We analyzed >22 million variants for 398,238 women.

Background: Decidualization of endometrial cells is the prerequisite for embryo implantation and subsequent placenta formation and is induced by rising progesterone levels following ovulation. One of the hormone receptors contributing to endometrial homeostasis is Progesterone Receptor Membrane Component 1 (PGRMC1), a non-classical membrane-bound progesterone receptor with yet unclear function. In this study, we aimed to investigate how PGRMC1 contributes to human decidualization.
