RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Family-Based Treatment (FBT) is the leading manualized treatment for adolescent eating disorders; however, there is limited research on the adaptation of FBT for diverse families (i.e., families belonging to identity groups subject to systemic barriers and prejudices). The purpose of this qualitative study was to address: (1) adaptations made to the FBT model (if any) by clinicians working with diverse youth and families; (2) the barriers/facilitators of maintaining adherence (fidelity) to the model for these families; and, (3) the barriers/facilitators to access and engagement in FBT for diverse families. METHOD: Forty-one FBT clinicians were recruited globally using purposive and snowball sampling, and listservs from eating disorder networks. Clinicians participated in individual interviews or focus groups, discussing their experiences delivering and adapting FBT for diverse families. Qualitative data was transcribed verbatim and analyzed using directed content analysis. RESULTS: Some participants reported making adaptations to every phase of the FBT model, while others did not, when working with diverse families. In Phase 1, participants cited adapting the family meal, length/number of sessions provided, and addressed systemic barriers. In Phase 2, participants adapted the length of the phase and rate/level of independence given back to the adolescent. In Phase 3, participants increased or decreased the number of sessions, or eliminated this phase to address barriers to engagement in FBT. DISCUSSION: This is the first study to qualitatively examine clinicians' experiences of implementing FBT with diverse families. Results may inform future FBT planning, clinician training, clinical decision-making tools, and opportunities for modifications to the foundational model. PUBLIC SIGNIFICANCE: This qualitative study examined clinicians' perceptions and experiences implementing FBT with diverse families, specifically what adaptations (if any) were made to the foundational model, and the barriers and facilitators to adhering to and engaging in the model. Results show that some participants reported making adaptations to every phase of FBT, while others did not, with diverse families. Findings may inform future treatment planning, clinician training, clinical decision-making tools, and potential modifications to FBT.

RESUMO

IMPORTANCE: Anterior vaginal prolapse (AVP) is the most common site of recurrence after sacrocolpopexy (SCP). Supracervical hysterectomy helps to prevent mesh exposure, but it is unclear if cervical preservation (CP) affects adequate reduction of AVP. OBJECTIVE: Our primary objective was to determine the difference in AVP recurrence rates in patients who have undergone SCP with or without CP. Secondary outcomes were composite failure and complications rates. STUDY DESIGN: This was a retrospective cohort analysis of women who underwent robotic SCP between 2012 and 2019 at Kaiser Permanente Southern California. The first cohort included women with CP (prior or concomitant supracervical hysterectomy). The second included women without CP (prior or concomitant total hysterectomy). Primary outcome was defined as recurrent AVP beyond the hymen. Patients without 12-month follow-up were included in demographic and surgical data analysis only. RESULTS: The charts of 373 patients with CP and 175 without CP were reviewed. Women with CP were more likely to undergo concomitant anterior repair at the time of SCP (14% vs 6%, P < 0.01); however, rates of AVP recurrence were not significantly different between groups (5% vs 3%, P = 0.26). Median follow-up time was 26 months (interquartile range, 14-38 months). Composite failure was similar between groups (17% vs 11%, P = 0.12). Women with CP were more likely to experience asymptomatic apical failure (6% vs 1%, P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: Cervical preservation at the time of SCP is associated with an increased need for concomitant anterior repair but is not associated with higher rates of AVP recurrence or composite failure.

RESUMO

IMPORTANCE: The proportion of female physicians in the workforce has been steadily increasing, but the proportion of women in department leadership roles across the United States remains low. Urogynecology has the highest representation of women in leadership roles across obstetrics and gynecology and urology subspecialties; however, the proportion of women in leadership roles within urogynecology fellowship programs has not been described previously. OBJECTIVES: Our objective was to investigate gender representation within urogynecology fellowship program leadership positions. STUDY DESIGN: This was a cross-sectional observational study where urogynecology fellowship program websites were queried for the geographic state as well as the gender expression of the program director and division chair. RESULTS: A total of 68 American Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited urogynecology fellowship programs were queried. Of these, 53 are obstetrics and gynecology-based programs and 15 are urology-based programs. Overall, women represent 67.6% of fellowship directors and 59.2% of division directors. One in 4 female fellowship directors concurrently hold the role of division chair. Women are significantly more likely to be fellowship directors in obstetrics and gynecology-based programs compared with urology-based urogynecology programs (75.4% versus 40.0%; odds ratio, 4.1; 95% confidence interval, 1.20-14.0). Women are also more likely to be division chairs in obstetrics and gynecology-based compared with urology-based urogynecology programs, although this did not reach statistical significance (63.4% versus 37.5%; odds ratio, 2.9, 95% confidence interval, 0.60-13.8). CONCLUSIONS: Across urogynecology fellowship programs, women are the majority of division chairs and fellowship directors. However, female representation in leadership roles is lagging at urology-based urogynecology programs.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Data examining the effect of diabetes mellitus (DM) on prolapse recurrence after sacrocolpopexy (SCP) is limited. The primary objective of this study was to determine if DM affects prolapse recurrence after robotic SCP. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of women who underwent robotic SCP between 2012 and 2019 at Kaiser Permanente Southern California. The cohort was divided into women with and without DM at the time of SCP. The primary outcome was composite failure. Secondary outcomes included recurrent compartment-specific prolapse, reoperation rates, and surgical complications. RESULTS: Of 547 patients included, 100 had DM. Women with DM were older, had higher BMI, higher parity, and were more likely to be nonwhite. Women with DM had more advanced prolapse at baseline but were not more likely to undergo concomitant procedures at the time of SCP. Over a median follow-up of 2.1 years (IQR 1.3, 3.4), women with DM had significantly increased risk of anterior vaginal prolapse (AVP) recurrence (13% vs 3%, p<0.01), but not composite failure (21% vs 14%, p=0.14). On multivariate regression, women with DM were almost 4 times as likely to experience AVP recurrence over time (AVP hazard ratio (HR) 3.93, 95% CI 1.29-12.03, p=0.02). CONCLUSION: In our cohort, DM was a risk factor for AVP recurrence but not composite failure after robotic SCP.

RESUMO

IMPORTANCE AND OBJECTIVES: The objective was to determine whether patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) treated with intravesical onabotulinumtoxinA (BoNT) injection for overactive bladder (OAB) had increased urinary retention requiring clean intermittent catheterization (CIC), as well as the impact of disease duration and severity. We hypothesize that patients with DM will have higher rates of retention after BoNT injection. STUDY DESIGN: We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of women in the Kaiser Permanente Southern California Health System who underwent BoNT injection for OAB, excluding women with a history of urinary retention or neurogenic bladder. RESULTS: We identified 565 patients, 410 in the control group and 155 in the DM group. No significant difference was found in the rate of CIC (9% in the control group versus 5.8% in the DM group, P = 0.2), voiding dysfunction, and peak postprocedure postvoid residual volume (PVR). Patients with diabetes had a significantly increased rate of postprocedure urinary tract infection (UTI; 27.6% versus 38.1%, P = 0.02). Urinary tract infection was significantly associated with urinary retention (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 2.26; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02-4.99; P = 0.045) and peak PVR ≥200 mL (adjusted OR, 2.42; 95% CI, 1.15-5.06; P = 0.019). Diabetic disease duration and severity were not a predictor of urinary retention, elevated PVR, or voiding dysfunction; however, the presence of ≥1 disease-related complication was a predictor of UTI (adjusted OR, 2.81; 95% CI, 1.34-5.91; P = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS: Diabetic patients had a similar rate of urinary retention requiring CIC after BoNT injection for OAB compared with nondiabetic patients. Diabetic patients had an increased risk of UTI based on disease severity.

RESUMO

IMPORTANCE: Understanding postoperative opioid consumption is key to reducing opioid misuse. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to quantify the amount of outpatient opioids consumed after urogynecologic surgery. STUDY DESIGN: This is a prospective multicenter cohort study sponsored by the American Urogynecologic Society Fellow's Pelvic Research Network. Women undergoing pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence surgery between May 2019 and January 2021 were included. Patients used text messaging to report daily opioid consumption, pain levels, and nonopioid analgesic consumption 2 weeks postoperatively. Demographic and perioperative factors associated with high opioid use (>75th percentile) were identified. RESULTS: Two hundred sixty-one patients were included from 9 academic centers. The median (interquartile range) morphine milligram equivalents (MME) consumed were 28 (0-65) and prescribed were 75 (50-113). The median ibuprofen and acetaminophen tablets consumed were 19 (10-34) and 12 (4-26). The median pain level was 2.7 of 10 (1.7-4.4). Factors associated with high MME use (>65 MME) included body mass index greater than 30 ( P < 0.01), chronic pain ( P < 0.01), elevated baseline pain score ( P < 0.01), elevated blood loss ( P < 0.01), longer operating time ( P < 0.01), and southern region ( P < 0.01). High MME consumers more frequently underwent perineorrhaphy ( P = 0.03), although this was not significant on multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Urogynecology patients consume a median of 28 MME (3-4 oxycodone 5-mg tablets) after surgery, and surgeons prescribe 3 times this amount (75 MME, 10 oxycodone tablets). In addition, there are several factors that can be used to identify patients who will require greater numbers of opioids. These data may be used to enhance existing prescribing guidelines.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of patient- and physician-directed education in the primary care setting on screening, diagnosis, treatment, and referral patterns to Urogynecology for urinary incontinence (UI). METHODS: This was a prospective, multi-phase, before-and-after study conducted over a 3-year period. New female patients, 40 years and older, seen in the Internal Medicine (IM) clinic of our institution, were included. Phase 1 intervention consisted of UI lectures for IM residents. Phase 2 intervention involved placement of patient-directed posters throughout the IM clinic. Prior to phase 1, charts of new patients were reviewed as the control group to establish a baseline rate of screening, diagnosis, treatment initiation, and referrals. The same data were collected for 4 months after both phase 1 and phase 2. A washout period of 1 year occurred between phase 1 and phase 2. RESULTS: A total of 410 charts were reviewed and included 200 control, 92 phase 1, and 118 phase 2 patients. In the control group, 13% of patients were screened for UI. There was no significant increase in screening after phase 1 (15% vs 13%, p = 0.6); however, there was a significant increase after phase 2 (32.2% vs 13%, p < 0.001). There was no difference in treatment initiation for patients with a positive screen after either phase. CONCLUSION: In our study, providing an informative lecture to an IM referral base did not improve UI screening. Alternatively, directly targeting patients through posters significantly improved screening rates in the primary care setting, demonstrating that simple interventions can improve screening for conditions that are difficult to discuss such as UI.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Guidelines vary on antibiotic prophylaxis for onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) treatment for overactive bladder (OAB). Our primary objective was to determine whether any prophylactic regimen is more effective in preventing urinary tract infection (UTI) after Botox. The secondary objective was to identify prophylactic practice patterns among female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery (FPMRS) providers of different training backgrounds as well as general urologists. METHODS: This was a secondary analysis of a retrospective cohort study on urinary retention after Botox injection in women with and without diabetes mellitus and OAB. Women > 18 years old who underwent Botox injection for OAB between January 2013 and September 2018 were included. Exclusion criteria were history of urinary retention and neuromuscular bladder dysfunction. RESULTS: A total of 565 patients were included. Two hundred eighty (49.6%) were treated by OB-GYN FPMRS, 209 (37.0%) by urology FPMRS and 76 (13.5%) by general urologists. The majority (92.9%) received antibiotic prophylaxis: 44.4% received intravenous (IV) only, 8.9% received oral (PO) only, and 39.7% received combination IV and PO prophylaxis. Urology FPMRS used antibiotic prophylaxis less frequently (p = 0.003). Within 3 months, 171 patients developed UTI (30.4%). There was no difference in post-procedural UTI for any antibiotic regimen compared to no prophylaxis. No route of antibiotic administration was superior at preventing UTI. CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort, no route of antibiotic administration was more effective in the prevention of UTI. Antibiotic prophylaxis did not lower the rate of post-procedural UTI compared to no antibiotics.

RESUMO

Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is a Feeding and Eating Disorder newly added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5 th Edition, which presents with high prevalence rates in community and clinical settings. Given its recent diagnostic recognition, validated and standardized treatments for this population are lacking. In addition, given the complexity, heterogeneity of symptoms, and high rates of psychiatric comorbidities in the ARFID population, new models of care are required. The current therapy model combines two evidence-based treatments - Family Based Treatment (FBT) and the Unified Protocols for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents (UP-C/A) - for young patients with ARFID plus Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), which allows clinicians to personalize care based on each patient's unique presenting needs. This paper presents two distinct cases which showcase the use of the FBT+UP for ARFID approach for treating comorbid ARFID and ASD in a clinical setting. Case 1 demonstrates the application and reliance on FBT, while Case 2 draws upon UP to facilitate behavioural change in the patient. Case backgrounds, presenting problems, and treatment approaches combining the two evidence-based treatments are presented and discussed. The cases demonstrate the unique challenges of treating young patients with comorbid ARFID and ASD, along with the proposed benefits of the combined approach with this population.


Le trouble évitant/restrictif de la prise alimentaire (TERPA) est un trouble alimentaire nouvellement ajouté au Manuel diagnostique et statistique des troubles mentaux, 5 e édition, qui présente des taux de prévalence élevés en milieu communautaire et clinique. Étant donné sa récente reconnaissance diagnostique, il manque de traitements validés et normalisés pour cette population. En outre, vu la complexité et l'hétérogénéité des symptômes, et les taux élevés de comorbidités psychiatriques dans la population TERPA, de nouveaux modèles de soins sont nécessaires. Le modèle de thérapie actuel combine deux traitements fondés sur les données probantes ­ le traitement basé sur la famille (TBF) et les protocoles unifiés pour le traitement transdiagnostique des troubles émotionnels chez les enfants et les adolescents (PU-E/A) ­ pour les jeunes patients souffrant de TERPA et de TSA qui permet aux cliniciens de personnaliser les soins, selon les besoins uniques présentés par chaque patient. Le présent article présente deux cas distincts qui démontrent le recours à TBF + PU pour l'approche du TERPA afin de traiter le TERPA et le TSA comorbides dans un cadre clinique. Le cas 1 démontre l'application et la confiance dans le TBF, tandis que le cas 2 puise aux PU pour faciliter le changement de comportement du patient. Les antécédents des cas, les problèmes présentés et les approches de traitement combinant les deux traitements fondés sur des données probantes sont présentés et discutés. Les cas démontrent les difficultés singulières de traiter de jeunes patients souffrant de TERPA et de TSA comorbides, de même que les avantages proposés d'une approche combinée avec cette population.

RESUMO

Surgical approach to pelvic organ prolapse has traditionally included hysterectomy; however, in the past decade, uterine sparing prolapse surgery (hysteropexy) has become increasingly popular within female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery. The current literature demonstrates comparable outcomes for hysteropexy and traditional approach. As these procedures become more common, it is important to consider how to approach patients with unique anatomy such as uterine anomalies who desire uterine sparing surgery. In our case, we describe a woman aged 77 years with uterine didelphys who underwent a successful vaginal uterosacral ligament hysteropexy for stage 2 pelvic organ prolapse and was followed for 12 months postoperatively. Our case demonstrates that vaginal uterosacral ligament hysteropexy is feasible in a patient with uterine didelphys.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: This study is aimed at evaluating the readability and quality of Wikipedia articles on pelvic floor disorders (PFD) and comparing their content with International Urogynecological Association patient education leaflets. METHODS: Readability was assessed using six different readability scales, including the Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG) Index, which is considered superior for scoring healthcare information. Quality was assessed by three female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery fellows using the modified DISCERN instrument. DISCERN is validated to evaluate the quality of written consumer health information; it was subsequently modified by health education researchers to enable the evaluation of Wikipedia articles. RESULTS: We evaluated 30 Wikipedia articles that correlated with 29 International Urogynecological Association leaflets. The mean SMOG score of the Wikipedia articles was 12.0 ± 2.1 (12th-grade reading level) whereas the mean SMOG score of the International Urological Association (IUGA) leaflets was 3.4 ± 0.3 (third-grade reading level, p < 0.001). The mean modified DISCERN score of the Wikipedia articles was 34.43 ± 5.90 (moderate quality); however, the mean modified DISCERN score of the IUGA literature was 45.02 ± 1.36 (good quality, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Wikipedia articles on PFD are neither readable nor reliable: they require a 12th-grade-level education for comprehension and are merely rated moderate in quality. In comparison, IUGA leaflets require a third-grade education for comprehension and are rated good in quality. Urogynecological providers should provide appropriate health education materials to patients, as Wikipedia is both a popular and sometimes inaccurate resource for patients.

RESUMO

Health systems are struggling to manage a fluctuating volume of critically ill patients with COVID-19 while continuing to provide basic surgical services and expand capacity to address operative cases delayed by the pandemic. As we move forward through the next phases of the pandemic, we will need a decision-making system that allows us to remain nimble as clinicians to meet our patient's needs while also working with a new framework of healthcare operations. Here, we present our quality improvement process for the adaptation and application of the Medically Necessary Time-Sensitive (MeNTS) toolto gynecologic surgical services beyond the initial COVID response and into recovery of surgical services; with analysis of the reliability of the modified-MeNTS tool in our multi-site safety net hospital network. This multicenter study evaluated the gynecology surgical case volume at three tertiary acute care safety net institutions within the LA County Department of Health Services: Harbor-UCLA (HUMC), Olive View Medical Center (OVMC), and Los Angeles County + University of Southern California (LAC+USC). We describe our modified-Delphi approach to adapt the MeNTS tool in a structured fashion and its application to gynecologic surgical services. Blinded reviewers engaged in a three-round iterative adaptation and final scoring utilizing the modified tool. The cohort consisted of 392 female consecutive gynecology patients across three Los Angeles County Hospitals awaiting scheduled procedures in the surgical queue.The majority of patients were Latina (74.7%) and premenopausal (67.1%). Over half (52.4%) of the patients had cardiovascular disease, while 13.0% had lung disease, and 13.8% had diabetes. The most common indications for surgery were abnormal uterine bleeding (33.2%), pelvic organ prolapse (19.6%) and presence of an adnexal mass (14.3%). Minimally invasive approaches via laparoscopy, robotic-assisted laparoscopy, or vaginal surgery was the predominant planned surgical route (54.8%). Modified-MeNTS scores assumed a normal distribution across all patients within our cohort (Median 33, Range 18-52). Overall, ICC across all three institutions demonstrated "good" interrater reliability (0.72). ICC within institutions at HUMC and OVMC were categorized as "good" interrater reliability, while LAC-USC interrater reliability was categorized as "excellent" (HUMC 0.73, OVMC 0.65, LAC+USC 0.77). The modified-MeNTS tool performed well across a range of patients and procedures with a normal distribution of scores and high reliability between raters. We propose that the modified-MeNTS framework be considered as it employs quantitative methods for decision-making rather than subjective assessments.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Family-based treatment (FBT) is an efficacious intervention for adolescents with an eating disorder. Evaluated to a lesser degree among adolescents, enhanced cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT-E) has shown promising results. This study compared the relative effectiveness of FBT and CBT-E, and as per manualized CBT-E, the sample was divided into a lower weight [<90% median body mass index (mBMI)], and higher weight cohort (⩾90%mBMI). METHOD: Participants (N = 97) aged 12-18 years, with a DSM-5 eating disorder diagnosis (largely restrictive, excluding Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), and their parents, chose between FBT and CBT-E. Assessments were administered at baseline, end-of-treatment (EOT), and follow-up (6 and 12 months). Treatment comprised of 20 sessions over 6 months, except for the lower weight cohort where CBT-E comprised 40 sessions over 9-12 months. Primary outcomes were slope of weight gain and change in Eating Disorder Examination (EDE) Global Score at EOT. RESULTS: Slope of weight gain at EOT was significantly higher for FBT than for CBT-E (lower weight, est. = 0.597, s.e. = 0.096, p < 0.001; higher weight, est. = 0.495, s.e. = 0.83, p < 0.001), but not at follow-up. There were no differences in the EDE Global Score or most secondary outcome measures at any time-point. Several baseline variables emerged as potential treatment effect moderators at EOT. Choosing between FBT and CBT-E resulted in older and less well participants opting for CBT-E. CONCLUSIONS: Results underscore the efficiency of FBT to facilitate weight gain among underweight adolescents. FBT and CBT-E achieved similar outcomes in other domains assessed, making CBT-E a viable treatment for adolescents with an eating disorder.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This case report discusses the presentation and treatment of a nine-year-old female with a history of significant weight loss and food refusal using a combined approach of Family-Based Treatment (FBT) and the Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children (UP-C). CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was diagnosed with avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), separation anxiety disorder, and a specific phobia of choking, and subsequently treated with a modified version of FBT, in conjunction with the UP-C. At the end of treatment, improvements were seen in the patient's weight and willingness to eat a full range of foods. Decreases in anxiety regarding eating/choking, fears of food being contaminated with gluten, and fears of eating while being away from parents were also observed. CONCLUSIONS: These findings highlight promising results from this combined treatment approach, referred to as FBT + UP for ARFID. Further research is needed to evaluate the use of this treatment in patients presenting with a variety of ARFID symptoms.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is a comparatively new DSM-5 diagnosis. In an effort to better understand this heterogeneous patient group, this study aimed to describe the physical and psychological attributes of children and adolescents with ARFID, and to compare them to patients with full-threshold or atypical anorexia nervosa (AN). METHODS: Children and adolescents aged 7-to-19 years (N = 193) were examined upon presenting at a pediatric eating disorder center between July 2015 and December 2017. Data included diagnosis assessed via the semi-structured Eating Disorder Examination interview along with measures of anthropometrics, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, perfectionism and clinical impairment. RESULTS: Compared to AN and atypical AN (n = 87), patients with ARFID (n = 106) were significantly younger (12.4 vs. 15.1 years, p < .0001), male (41% vs. 15%, p < .0002), and were more likely to be diagnosed with at least one co-morbid DSM-5 diagnosis (75% vs. 61%, p = .04). Patients with ARFID were less likely to be bradycardic (4.7% vs. 24.1%, p < .0001), amenorrheic (11.1 and 34.7%, p = .001), admitted to the hospital (14.2% vs. 27.6%, p = .02), and have a diagnosis of depression (18.9% vs. 48.3%, p < .0001). Patients with ARFID were significantly less likely to experience acute weight loss vs. chronic weight loss as compared with those with AN or atypical AN (p = .0001). On self-report measures, patients with ARFID reported significantly fewer symptoms of depression, anxiety, perfectionism, clinical impairment, concerns about weight and shape, and higher self-esteem than patients with AN or atypical AN (all ps < .0001). No differences were observed by race, anxiety disorder, orthostatic instability, suicidal ideation, and history of eating disorder treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Study results highlight the clinical significance of ARFID as a distinct DSM-5 diagnosis and the physical and psychological differences between ARFID and AN/atypical AN. The novel finding that ARFID patients are more likely than those diagnosed with AN to experience chronic, rather than acute, weight loss suggests important related treatment considerations.

RESUMO

The primary purpose of this study was to examine differences among youth with avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) by age, weight status, and symptom duration. A secondary goal was to report the frequencies of ARFID using DSM-5 clinical presentations (i.e., fear of aversive consequences, lack of interest in food, sensory sensitivities). Participants (N = 102), ages 8-18 years, were recruited through an eating disorder service within a pediatric hospital. They were evaluated using semi-structured interviews and questionnaires. Patients were assigned to groups according to age, weight status, and symptom duration. Frequencies of clinical presentations, including combinations of DSM-5 categories, were also examined. Our findings suggest that adolescents presented with higher rates of Depression (p = 0.04). Youth with chronic ARFID symptoms presented with significantly lower weight (p = 0.03), and those with acute symptoms rated significantly higher suicidal ideation and/or self- harm (p = 0.02). Half of patients met criteria for more than one ARFID symptom presentation. This study provides preliminary evidence that youth with ARFID differ in clinical presentation depending on age, weight status, and symptom duration, and highlights safety concerns for those with acute symptoms of ARFID. High rates of overlapping symptom presentations might suggest a dimensional approach in the conceptualization of ARFID.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The aim of this paper is to give a conceptual comparison of family-based treatment (FBT), a specific form of family therapy, and enhanced cognitive behavior therapy (CBT-E) in the management of adolescents with eating disorders. MAIN TEXT: FBT and CBT-E differ in the conceptualization of eating disorders, the nature of involvement of parents and the child/adolescent, the number of treatment team members involved, and evidence of efficacy. FBT is the leading recommended empirically- supported intervention for adolescents with eating disorders. Data from randomized controlled trials indicate that FBT works well with less than half of the parents and adolescents who accept the treatment, but cannot be used with those who do not have available parents, or for those with parents who are not accepting of a FBT model, or are unable to participate in a course of this treatment. CBT-E has shown promising results in cohort studies of patients between ages 11 and 19 years, and has recently been recommended for youth with eating disorders when FBT is unacceptable, contraindicated, or ineffective. CONCLUSION: There is a need to compare these two treatments in a randomized controlled trial to assess their acceptability, effectiveness, relative cost and cost-effectiveness, and to explore moderators of treatment response.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Angiomyofibroblastoma (AMFB) is a benign mesenchymal tumor most commonly found in the female genital tract of premenopausal women. Although rare, AMFB is an important consideration in the differential diagnosis of vulvar and vaginal masses, as it must be distinguished from aggressive angiomyxoma (AA), a locally recurrent, invasive, and damaging tumor with similar clinical and pathologic findings. CASE: We describe a patient with a 4 cm vaginal AMFB and the relevant preoperative radiographic imaging findings. CONCLUSION: Preoperative diagnosis of AMFB remains difficult. Common findings on magnetic resonance imaging and transvaginal sonography are described. We conclude that both transvaginal ultrasound and MRI are potentially useful imaging modalities in the preoperative assessment of vulvar and vaginal AMFB, with more data needed to determine superiority of one modality over the other.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To examine trends and characteristics of single women with malignancy of the uterine cervix. METHODS: This is a retrospective observational study examining the United States population-based tumor registry (the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program). Time-specific trends in single marital status were examined in 3,294,208 women among 12 common female malignancies including 87,151 women with uterine cervical malignancy between 1973 and 2013. RESULTS: While the proportion of single women in the majority of malignancies increased during the study time, the proportion of single women with cervical malignancy significantly increased more than in other malignancies (29.3% in 2013 from 6.3% in 1973). There was a surge in the proportion of single women with cervical malignancy starting in the early 1990s, exhibiting the largest annual percentage rate change (APC) among all examined malignancies (1.8%; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.6, 2.0; p<0.001). There was a significant decrease in the proportion of women aged <40 years with cervical malignancy between 1989 and 2013 (APC, -1.2%; 95% CI=-1.4, -1.0; p<0.001). However, when stratified by age, the proportion of single women aged ≥40 years increased significantly during the time (APC, 2.7%; 95% CI=2.3, 3.2; p<0.001) but did not in those who were <40 years (APC, 0.1%; 95% CI=-0.7, 0.6; p=0.850). CONCLUSION: The proportion of single women with malignancy of the uterine cervix has significantly increased in the past 4 decades. This increase was most dramatic in single women aged ≥40 years. Improving screening strategies in single women aged ≥40 years may help reduce the incidence of this malignancy.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine an association between intrauterine manipulator (IUM) use and frequency of lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) in women with endometrial cancer undergoing minimally invasive hysterectomy. METHODS: A retrospective case-control study was conducted among stage I-IV endometrial cancer patients who underwent hysterectomy between 2008 and 2015. Medical records were reviewed for patient demographics, surgical details, and tumor characteristics. Women who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) with IUM use were compared with women who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH). Review of archived medical record for data collection and propensity score matching were performed to adjust for background differences between TLH-IUM and TAH groups. A systematic literature review with pooled analysis was performed to examine frequency of LVSI. RESULTS: There were 687 women who underwent hysterectomy for endometrial cancer. Of those, 419 women underwent TLH with IUM use and 194 women underwent TAH. The most common type of IUM was VCare (89.5%). There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of LVSI between the 2 groups: 15.1% for TLH-IUM vs 19.9% for TAH (P = 0.14). After propensity score matching, frequencies of LVSI were similar between the 2 groups: 21.2% for TLH-IUM vs 19.6% for TAH (P = 0.78). Systematic literature review identified 1371 cases of TLH-IUM and 1246 cases of TAH performed for endometrial cancer, and frequencies of LVSI were similar between the 2 groups (15.0% vs 13.6%, P = 0.31). CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that IUM use during TLH for endometrial cancer is not associated with increased frequency of LVSI.
