While the use of levonorgestrel 52-mg intrauterine device (IUD) has been shown to reduce blood loss in patients with heavy menstrual bleeding, these same patients are at an increased likelihood of expelling the IUD. That’s why it’s important to set realistic expectations with patients, as Dr. Mitch Creinin from the University of California Davis Health explains.

Guest: Tiffany A. Moore Simas, MD, MPH, MEd, FACOG
According to a poster that was featured at the 2023 ACOG Annual Clinical and Scientific Meeting, only 75 percent of patients at UMass Chan Medical School were screened for perinatal mental health conditions, and of those screened, white patients were more likely to be connected with appropriate care and treatment than black or Hispanic patients. Dive deeper into the findings that underscore the importance of addressing disparities and inequities in perinatal depression care with Dr. Tiffany Moore Simas, Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at UMass Chan Medical School.

Its presentation varies clinically and ranges from asymptomatic to severe manifestations such as sepsis and meningitis. Listen in as Drs. Masja de Haas and Lee Shulman discuss clinical clues that should catch your eye. Discover novel yet simple ways to be vigilant and make the right clinical calls.

HPV testing plays an important role in cervical cancer screening, but not every patient who's HPV-positive will develop cervical cancer. One option that can help us identify which HPV-positive patients are truly at risk is CINtec PLUS Cytology, an immunohistochemistry test that simultaneously detects p16 and Ki67 biomarker proteins. Learn more about how this dual staining technique works in this video.

NAMS Position Statement on the Management of Osteoporosis in Postmenopausal Women Menopause. 2021;28(9):973-997. Consensus Statement from the Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation, formerly known as the National Osteoporosis Foundation The Clinician’s Guide to Prevention and Treatment of Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis Int. 2022;33(10):2049-2102.While there’s growing awareness among orthopedic surgeons that osteoporosis is the underlying cause of fractures, there is often a disconnect between this recognition and action in the form of treatment to prevent subsequent fractures. In this discussion, Drs. Andrea Singer, Paul Anderson, and Susan Bukata address the pathophysiology of osteoporosis and the need to identify patients at risk for additional fractures. Osteoporosis treatment (including pharmacotherapy) can play a critical role in preventing future fractures, but physicians must first recognize that fracture is a sentinel event and treat it as a call to action.

The American Journal of Obstetrics and GynecologyAs the platelet equivalent of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn, fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) is an uncommon yet complex and life-threatening bleeding disorder that results from incompatibility between mother and baby for platelet-specific antigens. Despite relatively normal platelet function, in the setting of severe thrombocytopenia, intracranial hemorrhage is a consequence. Drs. Shulman and Bussel discuss advances in management strategies and concrete steps you can take to lower the risk and stop the progression of this disorder in your patients.

Guest: Patricia M. Boatwright, MD
As any healthcare professional would agree, being passionate about your practice is key to having a good relationship with your patients. But choosing a specific specialty isn’t always an easy or clear decision.

Guest: Patricia M. Boatwright, MD
Ob-gyn Dr. Patricia Boatwright once cared for a patient who told her the following philosophy: "If it doesn't bother you, don't bother it." Sadly, this is far from the only isolated event in which healthcare professionals hear this or a similar mantra from their patients. To help us better manage this all-too-common occurrence, Dr. Boatwright walks us through this particular patient case and how she encourages her patients to listen to their bodies rather than their peers.

Host: Ana Maria Rosario
Guest: Patricia M. Boatwright, MD
When a patient comes to an appointment saying, “I want” or “I need,” it can be difficult to challenge them. But as ob-gyn Dr. Patricia Boatwright explains, doing so is absolutely critical to ensuring they receive the best and most appropriate care. Tune in to hear Ana Maria Rosario and Dr. Boatwright discuss a patient case and how we can do right by our patients, even if it means challenging their—or even a colleague's—opinion.
