Introduction: Contraception is key for maternal well-being in the postpartum period. This study aims to evaluate the impact of prenatal counseling on postpartum contraception uptake.
Methods: This cohort study assessed pregnant patients who received their prenatal care at our outpatient obstetrics clinic in 2021-2022. The intervention group received counseling at their 28- and 36-week prenatal visits with a language-congruent paper handout and a review of methods by the provider. The non-intervention group was seen in the outpatient clinic prior to implementation. Intervention patients were surveyed on postpartum days 1-3 to evaluate recollection of counseling and intent to start contraception. Data on uptake and type of contraception chosen was collected for both groups at 6- and 12-weeks postpartum. Our primary outcome was uptake of any type of contraception at the 6-week postpartum visit.
Results: A total of 126 patients over two five-month intervals (64 intervention and 62 non-intervention) were included in analysis. Baseline patient characteristics were similar between the groups, including predominance of public insurance. Groups differed by race/ethnicity, with higher rates of Hispanic patients in the intervention group. Patients in the intervention group had higher contraception uptake within six weeks of delivery (OR 2.61, p = 0.0287). Forty-three patients in the intervention group desired postpartum contraception (including permanent methods, such as tubal ligation), although only 21 (48.8 %) received their desired method. There were no differences in method chosen between the non-intervention and intervention groups (p = 0.15).
Conclusions: Structured prenatal counseling regarding contraceptive options can improve the timely initiation of contraception.

Background/purpose: Although metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has been proposed to replace the diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with new diagnostic criteria since 2023, the genetic predisposition of MASLD remains to be explored.
Methods: Participants with data of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in the Taiwan Biobank database were collected. Patients with missing data, positive for HBsAg, anti-HCV, and alcohol drinking history were excluded.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of TiRobot-assisted treatment for femoral neck fractures, in comparison to traditional freehand treatment methods. Throughout the research process, we conducted an extensive literature search across numerous databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), CQVIP, and Wanfang. Based on the literature screening criteria, we selected six studies, encompassing 358 cases of femoral neck fracture patients, for this meta-analysis.

Purpose: Age stratification influences the clinicopathological features and survival outcomes of breast cancer. We aimed to understand the effect of age on gene variants in young Chinese women with breast cancer compared with those from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).
Methods: Enrolled patients ≤ 40 years old (N = 370) underwent germline or somatic genetic testing using a 32-gene hereditary cancer panel at Fujian Union Hospital.

Purpose: There is an increasing incidence of young breast cancer (YBC) patients with uncertainty surrounding the factors and patterns that are contributing.
Methods: We obtained characteristics and survival data from 206,156 YBC patients (≤ 40 years of age) diagnosed between 2005 and 2019 from the National Cancer Database (NCDB). Patients were subdivided into two comparison groups based on year of diagnosis (2005-2009, Old vs.
