Dhea: A Neglected Biological Signal That May Affect Fetal And Child Development, 2024 University of Virginia
Dhea: A Neglected Biological Signal That May Affect Fetal And Child Development, Natasha A. Bailey, Elysia Poggi Davis, Curt A. Sandman, Laura M. Glynn
Psychology Faculty Articles and Research
The stress-sensitive maternal hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis through the end-product cortisol, represents a primary pathway through which maternal experience shapes fetal development with long-term consequences for child neurodevelopment. However, there is another HPA axis end-product that has been widely ignored in the study of human pregnancy. The synthesis and release of dehydroepiandosterone (DHEA) is similar to cortisol, so it is a plausible, but neglected, biological signal that may influence fetal neurodevelopment. DHEA also may interact with cortisol to determine developmental outcomes. Surprisingly, there is virtually nothing known about human fetal exposure to prenatal maternal DHEA and offspring neurodevelopment. The current study …

Ogilvie's Syndrome: Acute Colonic Pseudoobstruction. A Review For Residents., Tyler Bayliss, Caleb Clark, Errington C. Thompson
Marshall Journal of Medicine
Ogilvie's syndrome (acute colonic pseudoobstruction) was first described in 1948. Acute colonic pseudoobstruction can occur in a variety of clinical settings, including postsurgical, obstetrics, pelvic surgery, critical care and sepsis. Clinicians need to recognize the syndrome early. Colonic distention without evidence of obstruction can be seen on plain films of the abdomen or CT scan. Successful therapies, including bowel rest, neostigmine and colonoscopic decompression, have been used. Avoiding respiratory compromise from abdominal distention and colonic perforation of the primary goals of treatment.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Faculty Papers
BACKGROUND: Female genital fistula is a traumatic debilitating injury, frequently caused by prolonged obstructed labor, affecting between 500,000-2 million women in lower-resource settings. Vesicovaginal fistula causes urinary incontinence, and other morbidity may occur during fistula development. Women with fistula are stigmatized, limit social and economic engagement, and experience psychiatric morbidity. Improved surgical access has reduced fistula consequences yet post-repair risks impacting quality of life and well-being include fistula repair breakdown or recurrence and ongoing or changing urine leakage or incontinence. Limited evidence on risk factors contributing to adverse outcomes hinders interventions to mitigate adverse events. This study aims to quantify …

A Hanging Case Or A Hit And Run Accident, 2024 Lecturer of Forensic Medicine and clinical Toxicology, Faculty of Medicine - Al Azhar University (Assiut).
A Hanging Case Or A Hit And Run Accident, Mohamed M. Hussein, Ashraf I. Hassan
Al-Azhar International Medical Journal
When the victim's body was observed to be partially or totally hanged, a death by hanging occurred. The existence of both general and local indicators of hanging together with circumstantial evidence is typically used to diagnose the cause. After ruling out the presence of other important suspicious signs, such as those suggesting struggle, and when the victim is toxicologically free, the manner of death is tends to be suicidal. Circumstances also, should exclude homicide and accidental death. We present a man in the third decade of life, found on a road with head trauma but with signs of hanging including …
