THANKS. As usual you have information with excellent science. As I think we all know the ASCCP guidelines are great for first line and are great for the NPs and FPs doing colpos. The question posed is for those cases that then get referred to the ObGyns. THANKS again Joanne Joanne Bulley, MD, FACOG Keene, NH

This is a multipart message in MIME format. =_alternative 0004BE5888257A00 When the colpo is negative (no AWE or vascular changes), do You routinely check random biopsies, along with the ECC? Anticipating the answer is yes, and Path returns negative for SIL, keep in mind that most CIN2-3 originated in Patients with persistent HPV of 5-10 years duration.

I see quite a lot of patients with ASCUS, HPV DNA (+) in whom colposcopy is negative, but who continue to come back with the same cytology. For a number of years, I'd repeat the colposcopy only to continue to have the same result. Now, I have stopped doing a second colposcopy unless the cytology is consistent with high grade disease. I have found no reason to return to the very

Elective induction of labor at term can lessen the likelihood of perinatal mortality without increasing the need for cesarean delivery, a large retrospective study found. At 40 weeks' gestation, the adjusted odds ratio of perinatal death was 0.39 (99% CI 0.24 to 0.63, P In addition, elective induction at weeks 40 or 41 was not associated with an increase in cesarean delivery, with an adjusted odds ratio of 0.83 (99% CI

The Fertility Preservation Pipeline Is Clogged for Women with Cancer
Sonja Kristiansen, MD , April 3, 2012

Here's a situation that illustrates how fantastic medical advances don't always translate to patients benefiting in the clinic. For that to happen, the science needs to be carried along a pipeline of practitioner communication, all the way to the patient.

What Infertility Can Teach Us about Customizing Healthcare Protocols
Liz Imler , March 29, 2012

Treating “Religious Infertility”
Lawrence Grunfeld, MD , January 27, 2012

Orthodox Jewish women may follow an ancient tradition that requires sexual abstention during her menses and for the seven days that follow. Once the woman has completed this, she immerses in a ritual bath to purify her soul and then is encouraged to have intercourse with her husband but when your patient experiences infertility, how do you treat the infertility while maintaining respect for her religious traditions?

CA-125: What is it good for?
David Holtz, MD , January 10, 2012

[quote=nbp]Mother's day turned out great. DH woke DD up in the morning, and I didn't get out of bed until 11:30. While DD was napping I went out to play with friends, and then after she went to bed I went out with said friends for dinner. So I got to enjoy some nice time with DD and DH, but also got time to myself and the luxury of sleeping in late. Guess I couldn't (and shouldn't!) ask for much more![/quote] I love it! What an AWESOME day--I think you have the best Mother's day story so far

For early elementary I was in a public NYC magnet school which was beyond amazing. Then we moved out of the city and I went to a generic suburban public

I remember this being true as well. I have heard that most medical schools look at all your MCAT scores and not your best. And at least when I was applying, we took our test in April to start applying in June. I was told I should apply as soon as possible because of the rolling admission. Good luck!

A few things. I am a little biassed I suspect, because I have a husband that is incredibly supportive. He is a literal rocket scientist. The school I want to go to is is a 2 hour commute from where our house is now, so he has said we can either move closer, or I could rent a little studio and live down there Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, leave home Monday morning and come back Thursday night. We have two children, one in elementary school, one will be in middle school, so he is the one t
