What’s new in obstetrics and gynecology from UpToDate
35% of UpToDate topics are updated every four months. The editors select a small number of the most important updates and share them via "What's new" page. I selected the brief excerpts below from What's new in obstetrics and gynecology:
Obstetrics
Influenza vaccination with inactivated vaccine is recommended for pregnant women, regardless of the stage of pregnancy. The 2010-2011 influenza vaccine is trivalent and includes antigens from both the 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus and seasonal influenza viruses.
Use of acetaminophen during pregnancy was associated with a reduction in neural tube defects, as well as cleft lip/palate and gastroschisis. These data support the safety of acetaminophen for relief of fever and pain.
Gynecology
Like CA 125, human epididymal secretory protein E4 (HE4) is a promising biomarker for ovarian cancer. In contrast to CA 125, HE4 levels do not appear to be elevated in women with endometriosis, and thus can be useful to rule out ovarian cancer in patients with endometriosis and a pelvic mass suspected to be an endometrioma.
Sterilization does not impact sexual function. Sexual function appears to be unchanged or improved in women following tubal sterilization.
Botulinum toxin may be useful for overactive bladder syndrome (onabotulinumtoxinA, Botox®). Detrusor injection of botulinum toxin (BoNT) had a transient effect. The average time between injections was 8 to 12 months.

Statins Use in Presence of Elevated Liver Enzymes: What to Do?
The beneficial role of statins in primary and secondary prevention of coronary heart disease has resulted in their frequent use in clinical practice.
However, safety concerns, especially regarding hepatotoxicity, have driven multiple trials, which have demonstrated the low incidence of statin-related hepatic adverse effects. The most commonly reported hepatic adverse effect is the phenomenon known as transaminitis, in which liver enzyme levels are elevated in the absence of proven hepatotoxicity.
"Ttransaminitis" is usually asymptomatic, reversible, and dose-related.
Lovastatin, a compound isolated from Aspergillus terreus, was the first statin to be marketed for lowering cholesterol. Image source: Wikipedia, public domain.
The increasing incidence of chronic liver diseases, including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and hepatitis C, has created a new challenge when initiating statin treatment. These diseases result in abnormally high liver biochemistry values, discouraging statin use.
A PubMed/MEDLINE search of the literature (1994-2008) was performed for this Mayo Clinic Proceedings review. The review supports the use of statin treatment in patients with high cardiovascular risk whose elevated aminotransferase levels have no clinical relevance or are attributable to known stable chronic liver conditions.

In Adolescents, Gratitude Leads to More Success Than Materialism
Materialistic youth seem to be languishing while grateful youth seem to be flourishing.
In this study, 1,000 high school students completed measures of materialism, gratitude, academic functioning, envy, depression, life satisfaction, social integration, and absorption.
Gratitude, controlling for materialism, predicted all outcomes considered: higher grade point average, life satisfaction, social integration, and absorption, as well as lower envy and depression.
In contrast, materialism, controlling for gratitude, uniquely predicts three of the six outcomes: lower grade point average, as well as higher envy and life satisfaction.

Stelara (ustekinumab) and Remicade (infliximab) are effective if Enbrel (etanercept) stops working in psoriasis
About 7.5 million Americans suffer from psoriasis, a lifelong disorder characterized by inflammation of skin and, often, the joints.
Stelara, Remicade, and Enbrel are all biologics -- drugs made of genetically engineered proteins -- that are generally used to treat patients who aren't responding to traditional therapies such as light therapy and methotrexate.
Remicade and Enbrel both block tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), a chemical produced by immune cells that fuels inflammation, much like gas on a fire. Stelara targets two proteins, interleukin 12 and interleukin 23, that also drive the inflammatory process.

Tom Jones at 70: "I will sing as long as I possibly can. My enemy is time"
He's sold over 150 million records, but Sir Tom Jones has confessed that he dreads the day that he can no longer sing.
The 70-year-old veteran -- whose latest album 'Praise and Blame' is a meditative collection of gospel and blues songs dealing with spirituality and mortality -- was speaking to CBS News when he revealed his fear.
"I dread the day. Time is my enemy. Time will catch up with me vocally. And I dread that,' he said. "I dread to think about life without singing because I can express myself, it's a great release, it's a wonderful feeling to get on stage and pour all this stuff out and for people to go, 'Yeah!'''
From the comments on the YouTube video:
catcando75: I grew up listening to this man who belted out a song like no other & always did it in skin tight pants! His voice was clear & crisp yet deep & raspy.? When you watched him you knew he loved every note because he wore it like a banner on his? face. He pushed tv limits without a pause, his charisma was strong. This is a man so in love with music he knows no boundaries...

Head, Neck and Oral Cancer Examination
This 40-minute video is intended for practitioners of dentistry, medicine, nursing and public health who are responsible for diagnosing and referring patients with head and neck and oral cancer.
Emergency Medicine Ultrasound Simulation (U/SS) Case Scenario Package
This resource consisit of a modular package containing 5 high-fidelity full-body simulation case scenarios with supplemental bedside Emergency Department Ultrasound videos (de-identified) to assist in EM decision-making training.
Disclosing Medical Errors To Patients
This is a standardized patient case, which has been used to assess the communication skills of radiology residents when disclosing a medical error to a patient. The case content can be modified for use in other specialties. The checklist for the standardized patient and the self-evaluation checklist for the resident can be used without modification by all residencies.
Introduction to Effective Communication Skills
This PowerPoint with audio program covers the relevance and basic concepts of communication and interpersonal skills as they apply to general dentistry.
The Study Skills Workshop was introduced to guide and promote 1st year Medical Students towards effective ways of learning in medicine. It is hoped that through the workshop the students are able to identify their individual learning styles and approaches. Thus they can find out self-improvement strategies to enhance their learning in medicine.
