Assessment Of Factors Preventing Adequate Decline In Cervical Cancer Rates Amongst Minority Women In New Jersey, Rosie Wenrich, Jillian Baker
Assessment Of Factors Preventing Adequate Decline In Cervical Cancer Rates Amongst Minority Women In New Jersey, Rosie Wenrich, Jillian Baker
Rowan-Virtua Research Day
Background
• Nationally declining cervical cancer rates are still high amongst minority women in NJ, with Hispanic women being affected the most.
• The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection and can lead to cervical cancer
• Administration of the 9-valent HPV vaccine can prevent infection and progression to cancer
• Regular cervical cancer screenings allow for better outcomes
• Various barriers prevent people with a cervix receiving the vaccine
• Various barriers prevent people with a cervix aged >/= 30 from receiving regular cervical cancer screenings
Conclusions
- Improved physician recommendation is required for the …

Spontaneous preterm delivery (SPTD, birth at <37 weeks’ gestation) is a leading cause of infant mortality in the United States [1]. Infants born prematurely are more likely to suffer from both short and long-term complications including neurodevelopmental delay, visual and hearing impairment, and chronic diseases such as heart disease, hypertension and diabetes in later life [2-4]. African American women have a 2-fold increased risk of preterm delivery compared to Caucasian women [5].The reasons for this disparity are poorly understood. This limits the ability to predict and prevent preterm delivery in the most high-risk populations.
Retrospective Analysis Of Post-Operative Sepsis Rates, Stone Composition, And Ureteral Stent Duration After Ureteroscopy And Laser Lithotripsy During Covid-19, Young Son, Julia T. Scali, Ian Madison, Paul Chialastri, Thomas Mueller

Ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy is routinely used to remove stones but results in manipulation of the genitourinary mucosa and has a well-established relationship with post-operative sepsis under certain conditions. Postoperative sepsis represents a significant morbidity and mortality cost to patients and the healthcare system. Several studies to determine risk factors for sepsis after ureteroscopy have been completed. Such risk factors include positive preoperative urine cultures, female gender, prolonged preoperative stent time > 1 month, and patients with sepsis at the time of initial stenting. To improve sepsis rates, procedural alterations such as the use of disposable ureteroscopes have been introduced, as …

68% of those who performed minimum level exercise prior to pregnancy stopped completely during early pregnancy.
Women stop exercising during pregnancy due to worries about the impact it may have on the development of the fetus.
Starting moderate-intensity, weight-bearing exercise early in pregnancy increases placental growth rate and volume.
Exercise reduces the risks of excess gestational weight gain and high maternal body weight before pregnancy.
Physical exercise reduces the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus.
