While histological diagnosis of Paget disease of vulva is mostly straightforward, identifying and confirming invasion can be challenging. Often invasion is accompanied by epidermal hyperplasia, marked inflammatory response and desmoplastic reaction. Diagnosis of invasion in Paget disease portends a poor outcome.

Introduction: Laws regulating substance use in pregnancy are changing and may have unintended consequences on scientific efforts to address the opioid epidemic. Yet, how these laws affect care and research is poorly understood.
Methods: We conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews using purposive and snowball sampling of researchers who have engaged pregnant people experiencing substance use.

Vascular surgical emergencies are common in vascular surgical care and require complex decision making and multidisciplinary care. They are especially challenging when they occur in patients with unique physiological characteristics, such as pediatric, pregnant, and frail patients. Among the pediatric and pregnant population, vascular emergencies are rare.

Purpose: To identify the proportion of reproductive age women with breast cancer that engaged in a fertility preservation discussion and reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) consultation.
Methods: This cross-sectional survey recruited women 18-42 years who were diagnosed with breast cancer from 2006 to 2016 by phone or email and asked them to complete an online survey. Demographic characteristics, barriers to FP, utilization of FP consultation, and FP procedures (oocyte and embryo cryopreservation) were analyzed.

Background: Previous predictive models using logistic regression for stillbirth do not leverage the advanced and nuanced techniques involved in sophisticated machine learning methods, such as modeling nonlinear relationships between outcomes.
Objective: This study aimed to create and refine machine learning models for predicting stillbirth using data available before viability (22-24 weeks) and throughout pregnancy, as well as demographic, medical, and prenatal visit data, including ultrasound and fetal genetics.
Study Design: This is a secondary analysis of the Stillbirth Collaborative Research Network, which included data from pregnancies resulting in stillborn and live-born infants delivered at 59 hospitals in 5 diverse regions across the United States from 2006 to 2009.

Background: Prediction models have shown promise in helping clinicians and patients engage in shared decision-making by providing quantitative estimates of individual risk of important clinical outcomes. Gestational diabetes mellitus is a common complication of pregnancy, which places patients at higher risk of primary CD. Suspected fetal macrosomia diagnosed on prenatal ultrasound is a well-known risk factor for primary CD in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus, but tools incorporating multiple risk factors to provide more accurate CD risk are lacking.

Objective: To compare the effects of same-day discharge on 30-day readmission after minimally invasive pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery in older patients.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study examined all minimally invasive POP surgeries performed and included in the national Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services 5% Limited Data Set (2011-2018). Our primary outcome was 30-day hospital readmission, and our secondary outcome was 30-day emergency department (ED) visits.

The regulation of protein turnover by the unique deubiquitinating enzyme ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1) is only seen in oocytes, spermatogonia, and neurons. Our objective was to investigate variation in expression of UCHL1 across fetal maturation of oocytes that result in lifelong ovarian reserve. We performed a retrospective cohort study of 25 fetal autopsy specimens from 21 to 36 weeks.

Background: Nausea and vomiting is one of the most common complications of pregnancy, affecting 50% to 80% of pregnant persons. Moreover, despite its prevalence, it remains a challenging condition to treat. Treatment often involves oral and intravenous medications with potential side effects, particularly when taken in combination.

Objective: To identify neonatal characteristics and 2-year neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with positive screening for risk of autism.
Study Design: Nine university-affiliated neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) enrolled infants born at <30 weeks of gestation. Infants underwent the NICU Network Neurobehavioral Scale examination before discharge and the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition, the Child Behavior Checklist, and the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, revised with follow-up (M-CHAT-R/F) at 2 years of corrected age.

Background/objective: Graves' disease is an autoimmune disease associated with high levels of circulating thyroid hormones (THs). Resistance to thyroid hormone beta (RTHβ) caused by mutations in the thyroid hormone receptor beta () gene also can lead to high TH levels. Here, we describe 2 related cases, one of a woman with Graves' disease, and her newborn with RTHβ.

Palpable masses in women are the most common symptom associated with breast cancer. This document reviews and evaluates the current evidence for imaging recommendations of palpable masses in women less than 30 to over 40 years of age. There is also a review of several different scenarios and recommendations after initial imaging.

Objective: This study aimed to characterize the relationship between maternal obesity, fetal abdominal size, and neonatal morbidity in pregnancies complicated by fetal growth restriction (FGR).
Study Design: Pregnancies complicated by FGR, which resulted in delivery of a live, singleton, nonanomalous infant at a single center between 2002 and 2013 were identified in a large, National Institutes of Health-funded database of detailed pregnancy and delivery information extracted by trained research nurses. Pregnancies complicated by diabetes were excluded.

Objective: High grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) exhibits low response rates to clinically available immunotherapies. Nevertheless, emerging research has demonstrated that certain immune factors are predictive for HGSOC patient clinical outcomes, with our own groups previous work demonstrating that intratumoral levels of the immune checkpoint receptor LAG-3 is associated with improved patient survival. In this current study we sought to uncover non-invasive circulating immune prognostic and predictive signatures in HGSOC.

Background: Unplanned operative delivery is associated with postpartum depression (PPD), but the mechanism is unknown. We aimed to assess the sense of control over labor for those who had unplanned delivery (unplanned cesarean or operative vaginal delivery: uCD/OVD) versus spontaneous vaginal delivery (SVD).
Methods: Secondary analysis of a cross-sectional survey study of term patients admitted for delivery at a tertiary center.

Genetic counseling is a relatively young profession that has advanced rapidly over the last 50 years. The term "genetic counseling" was first coined by Sheldon Reed in 1947 to describe the advice he would give to physicians regarding their patient's genetic conditions. Today, more than 5,000 genetic counselors are licensed through the American Board of Genetic Counselors.

Objectives: To predict behavioral disruptions in middle childhood, we identified latent classes of prenatal substance use.
Study Design: As part of the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes Program, we harmonized prenatal substance use data and child behavior outcomes from 2195 women and their 6- to 11-year-old children across 10 cohorts in the US and used latent class-adjusted regression models to predict parent-rated child behavior.
Results: Three latent classes fit the data: low use (90.
