Purpose: Inaccurate beliefs about medication abortion (MA) are common. This study evaluated pilot data from a community-led media intervention designed to increase MA knowledge among Black and Latinx women in Georgia.
Methods: Participants (=855) viewed the intervention video and completed pre-post surveys. Data were analyzed using linear and logistic regression.
Results: Knowledge scores significantly increased from 3.88/5.00 to 4.47/5.00. Participants who were Native American, Asian and Pacific Islander, multiracial, Black, <20 years old, and living in Georgia scored below the sample mean at baseline; however, nearly all disparities disappeared after intervention exposure.
Conclusions: This intervention effectively increased MA knowledge and narrowed racial/ethnic, age-based, and geographic disparities.

Surgical Obliteration of a Filum Terminale Arteriovenous Fistula Following Aborted Endovascular Embolization: Illustrative Case Report and Literature Review.

Arteriovenous fistulas of the filum terminale are rare vascular malformations that predominantly affect males and can present with various neurological symptoms. In this study, we indexed previously published cases of filum terminale arteriovenous fistulas demonstrating that endovascular and microsurgical management are both proven to be appropriate and successful treatment modalities with low complication rates. Endovascular treatment is far less invasive; however, it is associated with higher failure rates, which need to be managed surgically.

Background: Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is intricately linked to metabolic dysregulation at the maternal-fetal interface during early gestation. Abnormal levels of essential fatty acids and downstream oxylipins in decidua and chorionic villi have been identified as potential risk factors for RSA. Oxylipins have been linked to excessive inflammation, which might disrupt maternal-fetal immune tolerance, potentially contributing to RSA.

The concept of foetal viability has evolved significantly and has been influenced by advancements in neonatal care and legal frameworks. This review explores the complexities of defining foetal viability in India's contemporary medical landscape, particularly in light of the recent extension of the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act to 24 weeks. The article examines the confusion surrounding the classification of extreme preterm births, Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act, and prenatal documentation during sonography.

Introduction: MTP has been legalized in India through the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, of 1971, which allows pregnancy termination up to 20 weeks. The present study included second-trimester pregnancy terminations and the main aim of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of tablet mifepristone 24 h before vaginal tablet misoprostol in group-I with vaginal tablet misoprostol alone in group-II as a method of second-trimester pregnancy termination.
Methodology: It was a prospective randomized comparative study conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, R.

Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder with a high and increasing global prevalence. Although the precise causes are unknown, both genetic and environmental factors, including maternal ones during pregnancy, significantly influence its development. Therefore, this study endeavors to explore the potential causes of autism, including maternal and paternal prenatal risk factors, as well as antenatal and natal maternal risk factors, and their associations with the severity of ASD in mothers of children with ASD, from February to May 2024.
