Radiation cystitis (RC) is a debilitating adverse side effect of pelvic radiation therapy. Despite advancements within the field of radiation oncology, the location of the bladder makes it difficult to avoid during radiation and approximately 5-10% of cancer survivors with a history of pelvic radiation are at risk. While RC is not common, the long-term effects can be crippling and we hope to provide more information on the risk factors to help survivors and inform clinicians.

Gestational Weight Gain And The Associated Perinatal Outcomes In Middle Eastern Women, Dana Rector, Zeynep Alpay-Savasan

Gestational Weight Gain (GWG) can impact perinatal outcomes for mothers and infants, especially if the mother gains inadequate or excessive weight during pregnancy. We hypothesized that Middle Eastern women would be more likely to gain inadequate weight, compared to the general population, resulting in adverse perinatal outcomes.

INTRODUCTION
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Two main diagnostic criteria are used for PCOS: the Rotterdam and Androgen Excess Society (AES) criteria. Depending on which criteria is used, the diagnosis of PCOS may change. Therefore, our study investigates the discrepancies in the diagnosis of PCOS when using the Rotterdam versus the AES scale in the Beaumont Health System. This is clinically significant because a PCOS diagnosis should not be made lightly as it can come with many lifelong social, emotional, and medical implications.

INTRODUCTION
Prior evaluations of breast and cervical cancer screens have found that immigrant South Asian women have lower compliance rates when compared to non-immigrant, white, or African American women (Shoemaker, 2016). It is widely accepted that early detection of cancers can improve outcomes for patients, and that screenings like mammography and pap smear tests are critical in this process. The aim of this study was to evaluate compliance rates for breast cervical cancer screens in Sikh women in Michigan, as well as to investigate attitudes which may be contributing to any disparities which may exist.

INTRODUCTION
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of birth defect-associated infant death. With 1 in 111 newborns born with CHD and an elevated infant mortality rate of 30-50%, early detection is imperative. Current prenatal screening mainly focuses on detecting chromosomal anomalies. However, the accuracy of these exams on detecting fetal cardiac abnormalities is not well researched. The primary goal of this study is to compare three prenatal screening tests’ potential, i.e anatomy ultrasound, nuchal translucency (NT), and cell-free DNA (cfDNA), in identifying risk for fetal cardiac anomalies.

Due to a rise in cesarean sections since the 1970s, the American College of Gynecology has acted to reduce unnecessary cesarean deliveries. In 2017, ACOG released clinical management guidelines for vaginal birth after cesarean delivery (VBAC), including a nomogram to predict VBAC success. This nomogram, developed by Grobman et al. (2007), explored factors impacting VBAC success for delivery at term for a singleton pregnancy. While the presence of diabetes was evaluated in the study, it was not found to be a significant factor in predicting outcome. This study will take a more detailed look at if pre-existing diabetes impacts a …
