Abortion-Related Laws and Concurrent Patterns in Abortion Incidence in Indiana, 2010-2019.

Objectives. To analyze abortion incidence in Indiana concurrent with changes in abortion-related laws. Methods. Using publicly available data, we created a timeline of abortion-related laws in Indiana, calculated abortion rates by geography, and described changes in abortion occurrence coincident with changes in abortion-related laws between 2010 and 2019. Results. Between 2010 and 2019, Indiana's legislature passed 14 abortion-restricting laws, and 4 of 10 abortion-providing clinics closed. The Indiana abortion rate decreased from 7.8 abortions per 1000 women aged 15 to 44 years in 2010 to 5.9 in 2019. At all time points, the abortion rate was 58% to 71% of the Midwestern rate and 48% to 55% of the national rate. By 2019, nearly 1 in 3 (29%) Indiana residents who obtained abortion care did so outside the state. Conclusions. Access to abortion in Indiana over the past decade was low, required increases in interstate travel to obtain care, and co-occurred with the passage of numerous abortion restrictions. Public Health Implications. These findings preview unequal abortion access and increases in interstate travel as state-level restrictions and bans go into effect across the country.

Changes in deep neck muscle length from the neutral to forward head posture. A cadaveric study using Thiel cadavers.

Forward head posture (FHP) is one of the most common postural deviations. Deep neck muscle imbalance of individuals with FHP is of primary concern in clinical rehabilitation. However, there is scarce quantitative research on changes in deep neck muscle length with the head moving forward. This study aimed to investigate changes in deep neck muscle length with different severity levels of FHP. Six Thiel-embalmed cadavers (four males and two females) were dissected, and 16 deep neck muscles in each cadaver were modeled by a MicroScribe 3D Digitizer in the neutral head posture, slight FHP, and severe FHP. The craniovertebral angle was used to evaluate the degrees of FHP. Quantitative length change of the deep neck muscles was analyzed using Rhinoceros 3D. In slight FHP significant changes in length occurred in four muscles: two shortened (upper semispinalis capitis, rectus capitis posterior minor) and two lengthened (longus capitis, splenius cervicis). In severe FHP all occipital extensors were significantly shortened (10.6 ± 6.4%), except for obliquus capitis superior, and all cervical extensors were significantly lengthened (4.8 ± 3.4%), while longus capitis (occipital flexor) and the superior oblique part of the longus colli (cervical flexor) were lengthened by 8.8 ± 3.8% and 4.2 ± 3.1%, respectively. No significant length change was observed for the axial rotator. This study presents an alternate anatomical insight into the clinical rehabilitation of FHP. Six muscles appear to be important in restoring optimal head posture, with improvements in FHP being related to interventions associated with the occipital and cervical extensors.

Neutralisation of SARS-CoV-2 by anatomical embalming solutions.

Teaching and learning anatomy by using human cadaveric specimens has been a foundation of medical and biomedical teaching for hundreds of years. Therefore, the majority of institutions that teach topographical anatomy rely on body donation programmes to provide specimens for both undergraduate and postgraduate teaching of gross anatomy. The COVID-19 pandemic has posed an unprecedented challenge to anatomy teaching because of the suspension of donor acceptance at most institutions. This was largely due to concerns about the potential transmissibility of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the absence of data about the ability of embalming solutions to neutralise the virus. Twenty embalming solutions commonly used in institutions in the United Kingdom and Ireland were tested for their ability to neutralise SARS-CoV-2, using an established cytotoxicity assay. All embalming solutions tested neutralised SARS-CoV-2, with the majority of solutions being effective at high-working dilutions. These results suggest that successful embalming with the tested solutions can neutralise the SARS-CoV-2 virus, thereby facilitating the safe resumption of body donation programmes and cadaveric anatomy teaching.

How can healthcare professionals provide guidance and support to parents of adolescents? Results from a primary care-based study.

BACKGROUND: This study explored the rewards and difficulties of raising an adolescent and investigated parents' level of interest in receiving guidance from healthcare providers on parenting and adolescent health topics. Additionally, this study investigated whether parents were interested in parenting programs in primary care and explored methods in which parents want to receive guidance. METHODS: Parents of adolescents (ages 12-18) who attended an outpatient pediatric clinic with their adolescent were contacted by telephone and completed a short telephone survey. Parents were asked open-ended questions regarding the rewards and difficulties of parenting and rated how important it was to receive guidance from a healthcare provider on certain parenting and health topics. Additionally, parents reported their level of interest in a parenting program in primary care and rated how they would like to receive guidance. RESULTS: Our final sample included 104 parents, 87% of whom were interested in a parenting program within primary care. A variety of parenting rewards and difficulties were associated with raising an adolescent. From the list of parenting topics, communication was rated very important to receive guidance on (65%), followed by conflict management (50%). Of health topics, parents were primarily interested in receiving guidance on sex (77%), mental health (75%), and alcohol and drugs (74%). Parents in the study wanted to receive guidance from a pediatrician or through written literature. CONCLUSIONS: The current study finds that parents identify several rewarding and difficult aspects associated with raising an adolescent and are open to receiving guidance on a range of parenting topics in a variety of formats through primary care settings. Incorporating such education into healthcare visits could improve parents' knowledge. Healthcare providers are encouraged to consider how best to provide parenting support during this important developmental time period.

COVID-19 and anatomy: Stimulus and initial response.

The outbreak of COVID-19, resulting from widespread transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, represents one of the foremost current challenges to societies across the globe, with few areas of life remaining untouched. Here, we detail the immediate impact that COVID-19 has had on the teaching and practice of anatomy, providing specific examples of the varied responses from several UK, Irish and German universities and medical schools. Alongside significant issues for, and suspension of, body donation programmes, the widespread closure of university campuses has led to challenges in delivering anatomy education via online methods, a particular problem for a practical, experience-based subject such as anatomy. We discuss the short-term consequences of COVID-19 for body donation programmes and anatomical education, and highlight issues and challenges that will need to be addressed in the medium to long term in order to restore anatomy education and practice throughout the world.

Exploration of temporal bone anatomy using mixed reality (HoloLens): development of a mixed reality anatomy teaching resource prototype.

Mixed reality (MR), a technology which supplements the real world with virtual objects, is increasingly becoming available as a teaching tool in medical education. The Microsoft HoloLens device allows operators to experience MR using a head-mounted device without interfering with their physical reality, stimulating a realistic learning experience using virtual objects. This project aimed to develop a MR anatomy teaching application with HoloLens for exploring the anatomy of the temporal bone. The educational application was developed from a multidisciplinary collaboration between undergraduate and postgraduate students across several academic disciplines with Medtronic, a medical technology company. 3D anatomical models were built using ZBrush and Blender, while the HoloLens1 application was developed using Windows 10, Visual Studio 2017, Unity and Mixed Reality Toolkit (MRTK). Modules developed within the application included a basic HoloLens tutorial, a virtual temporal bone with surgical anatomy landmarks and free drilling of the temporal bone. The basic tutorial allows the operator to adapt to the MR environment prior to exploring the anatomical landmarks of the 3D temporal bone. The free drilling of the temporal bone using vertex displacement and texture stretching replicates a real-time bone drilling experience and allows the operator to explore the anatomical relationship between different otological structures.

Learning and coping through reflection: exploring patient death experiences of medical students.

BACKGROUND: Existing studies have explored many aspects of medical students' experiences of patient death and propose the importance of faculty support for coping. However, UK-based literature on this subject and research concerning learning through reflection as part of coping are relatively limited. This study, through the lens of reflection, aims to explore students' experiences with patient death in a UK context. These include coping strategies, support from faculty following patient death and the relationship between these experiences and learning. Our research questions were: How do medical students cope with and learn from their experiences?How does support from ward staff and the medical school help them cope with and learn from these experiences?How can students best be supported following patient death? METHODS: We employed narrative inquiry to explore how medical students made sense of their experiences of patient death. Twelve students participated in our study via an online narrative questionnaire. Thematic analysis and complementary narrative analysis of an exemplar were applied to address our research aim. RESULTS: Coping strategies comprised internal and external strategies. Internal strategies included (1) re-interpretation of the death into a meaningful experience including lessons learned; (2) normalization; (3) staying busy and (4) enduring negative emotions. External strategies included speaking to someone, which was found to influence normalization, and lessons learned. Both satisfactory and unsatisfactory support from ward staff was identified. Satisfactory support was characterized by the inclusion of emotional and professional support. Unsatisfactory support was often characterized by a lack of emotional support. Narrative analysis further demonstrated how the experience with patient death was re-interpreted meaningfully. Students suggested that support should be structured, active, sensitive, and include peers and near-peers. CONCLUSION: Many coping strategies, internal and external, were employed in students' experiences with patient death. Student reflections, enhanced by support from ward staff, were shown to be important for learning from patient death. We encourage faculty to have regular sessions in which medical students can reflect on the death incident and discuss appropriately with others, including peers and near-peers.

From "silent teachers" to models.

For decades, embalmed cadavers have played an important role in teaching anatomy to the scientists and doctors of the future. Most anatomy departments use a traditional formaldehyde-based embalming method, but formalin embalming makes the bodies very rigid, which limits their usefulness for procedures other than dissection. A more recent embalming method developed by W. Thiel has allowed these "silent teachers" to take on a further role in applied anatomy research and teaching: to act as models for surgical training and medical research.

Does learning style influence academic performance in different forms of assessment?

Educational research on learning styles has been conducted for some time, initially within the field of psychology. Recent research has widened to include more diverse disciplines, with greater emphasis on application. Although there are numerous instruments available to measure several different dimensions of learning style, it is generally accepted that styles differ, although the qualities of more than one style may be inherent in any one learner. But do these learning styles have a direct effect on student performance in examinations, specifically in different forms of assessment? For this study, hypotheses were formulated suggesting that academic performance is influenced by learning style. Using the Honey and Mumford Learning Style Questionnaire, learning styles of a cohort of first year medical and dental students at Queen's University Belfast were assessed. Pearson correlation was performed between the score for each of the four learning styles and the student examination results in a variety of subject areas (including anatomy) and in different types of assessments - single best answer, short answer questions and Objective Structured Clinical Examinations. In most of the analyses, there was no correlation between learning style and result and in the few cases where the correlations were statistically significant, they generally appeared to be weak. It seems therefore from this study that although the learning styles of students vary, they have little effect on academic performance, including in specific forms of assessment.

Supporting Sexual and Reproductive Health for Immigrant Families Across the Lifespan.

The ability to exercise autonomy in achieving reproductive health goals necessitates access to contraceptive and reproductive health information and medical care. Finding trusted, comprehensive, consistent and affordable reproductive care is particularly challenging for immigrants living in the United States, especially for those without legal immigration status and for those who prefer a language other than English. In immigrant communities, sexual and reproductive health (SRH) knowledge, contraceptive choice, and family planning are influenced by many factors including tension between traditional and adopted cultural norms, limited English proficiency, restricted health care access, and structural racism. The family-centered model and longitudinal nature of relationships in pediatric primary care pose a unique opportunity to support immigrant families across the lifespan in obtaining SRH information and achieving reproductive health goals. Here, we present the unique vulnerabilities faced by immigrants seeking SRH services in the United States including both the upstream and downstream health effects of immigration status on family health. We then describe four time points across the lifespan where pediatricians can support SRH, including examples of existing SRH programming designed or adapted for immigrant families. Finally, we discuss opportunities to advance research, policy, education, and clinical care related to SRH equity for immigrant families.

Recruiting pregnant people considering abortion: An analysis of differences in participant characteristics by recruitment site across online, abortion fund, and clinic-based sources.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate differences by recruitment method in the characteristics of participants who are considering abortion. STUDY DESIGN: Between June 2021 and April 2022, we recruited pregnant people considering abortion in Indiana from (1) online posts, (2) abortion funds, and (3) abortion clinics. We compared participant characteristics reported in an online survey by recruitment source. RESULTS: Compared to those recruited from clinics (n = 94), participants recruited online (n = 84) and through abortion funds (n = 239) were later in their pregnancy, were already parenting, received less formal education, struggled financially, and were more likely to be Black or African American, queer, transgender, or nonbinary. CONCLUSIONS: Recruitment from online sources and abortion funds reaches more people who face greater barriers to abortion care than recruitment from clinics. IMPLICATIONS: Augmenting clinic-based recruitment with online and abortion fund recruitment could capture a more complete sample of people considering abortion.

Assessment of adolescent decision-making capacity for pharmacy access to hormonal contraception.

OBJECTIVES: To examine adolescents' decision-making capacity for pharmacsist-prescribed hormonal contraception. STUDY DESIGN: A subset of 60 females, ages 14-21, were recruited to complete the MacArthur Competence Assessment Tool-Treatment. Overall scores were compared by age and demographic factors and variation examined. RESULTS: Participants scored high on the MacArthur Competence Assessment Tool-Treatment with little variation in the scores (18.8 [±1.9]/20 total points). Factors such as chronic illness, health literacy, and family affluence were not associated with of overall scores. CONCLUSIONS: Adolescents and young adults have the capacity to make decisions regarding contraception in the pharmacy access settings.

Selective aortic arch perfusion: a first-in-human observational cadaveric study.

BACKGROUND: Selective aortic arch perfusion (SAAP) is a novel endovascular technique that combines thoracic aortic occlusion with extracorporeal perfusion of the brain and heart. SAAP may have a role in both haemorrhagic shock and in cardiac arrest due to coronary ischaemia. Despite promising animal studies, no data is available that describes SAAP in humans. The primary aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of selective aortic arch perfusion in humans. The secondary aim of the study was to assess the feasibility of achieving direct coronary artery access via the SAAP catheter as a potential conduit for salvage percutaneous coronary intervention. METHODS: Using perfused human cadavers, a prototype SAAP catheter was inserted into the descending aorta under fluoroscopic guidance via a standard femoral percutaneous access device. The catheter balloon was inflated and the aortic arch perfused with radio-opaque contrast. The coronary arteries were cannulated through the SAAP catheter. RESULTS: The procedure was conducted four times. During the first two trials the SAAP catheter was passed rapidly and without incident to the intended descending aortic landing zone and aortic arch perfusion was successfully delivered via the device. The SAAP catheter balloon failed on the third trial. On the fourth trial the left coronary system was cannulated using a 5Fr coronary guiding catheter through the central SAAP catheter lumen. CONCLUSIONS: For the first time using a perfused cadaveric model we have demonstrated that a SAAP catheter can be easily and safely inserted and SAAP can be achieved using conventional endovascular techniques. The SAAP catheter allowed successful access to the proximal aorta and permitted retrograde perfusion of the coronary and cerebral circulation.

Understanding beliefs, preferences and actions amongst potential body donors.

Body donation is a prosocial act providing a unique learning experience to students, ultimately impacting on patient care and science. With an increasing number of training professionals, there is an increasing need for body donors, yet little is understood about donors' beliefs and preferences. A four-center study aimed to understand donors' perceptions, 843 responses highlighted a significant relationship between completing a body donor consent form and being both an organ donor and having ever donated blood (p < 0.01). In exploring donor intentions, 69% had been considering donation for fewer than five years, 40% knew another body donor, and 27% had a family member or friend currently registered. Of those who had requested donor information packs, 97% had completed body donation consent forms. Of these, 92% had not selected any time restriction for their donation and 96% had consented to images being taken. Almost all (98%) were aware that their donation might not be accepted. Donors' motives highlighted a wish to: improve education, improve health care, advance science, and contribute to the greater good. A bimodal response was observed with body donation being used to save relatives money and inconvenience. Donors felt comfortable with their bodies being used by medical, dental, and allied health professionals; however, donors were less comfortable with their bodies being used by other groups. Only 57% were comfortable with artists, beauticians and yoga teachers using their remains. Understanding donors' motivations and decision-making process is vital to ensure resources for future and to meet any changing requirements of both donors and those studying them.

The relationship between forward head posture, postural control and gait: A systematic review.

BACKGROUND: Forward head posture (FHP) is a common postural deviation. An increasing number of studies have reported that people with FHP present with impaired postural control and gait; however, there is conflicting evidence. A systematic review focusing on these relationships has been unavailable to date. RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there a relationship between FHP, postural control and gait? METHODS: This systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement (PROSPERO ID: CRD42021231908). Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL Plus (via EBSCO) were systematically searched, and a manual search was performed using the reference lists of included studies. Eligible studies included observational studies addressing the relationship between FHP, postural control and/or gait. Quality assessment was conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Cross-Sectional Studies. RESULTS: Nineteen studies were selected for this review. Consistent evidence supported that people with FHP had significant alterations in limits of stability (n = 3), performance-based balance (n = 3), and cervical proprioception (n = 4). Controversial evidence existed for a relationship of FHP with static balance (n = 4) and postural stability control (n = 4). Limited evidence existed to support an alteration in gait and vestibular function. Three studies on induced FHP consistently identified no reduced postural control. SIGNIFICANCE: Current evidence supports an association between FHP and a detrimental alteration in limits of stability, performance-based balance, and cervical proprioception. Instead of simply indicating impaired overall balance, the findings of this review indicate that a reduction in specific aspects of the postural control requires to be clarified in clinical evaluation for individuals with FHP, which would facilitate the planning and application of appropriate interventions to prevent dysfunctions and disability.

Outcomes of a two-visit protocol for long acting reversible contraception for adolescents and young adults.

OBJECTIVES: To examine outcomes of a 2-visit protocol for placement of intrauterine or subdermal contraception. STUDY DESIGN: We identified all women ages 15 to 27 who received an order for an intrauterine or subdermal contraceptive between January 2014-December 2016. We examined time from order to contraceptive placement and reasons for incomplete orders. RESULTS: We identified 1,192 unique patients who received 1,323 orders for intrauterine or subdermal contraceptives; 68% were completed at a second visit. The median time from order to placement was 22 days (interquartile range = 15-35). Of incomplete orders, 41% were related to logistics of a subsequent visit. Twenty-eight percent of patients had a subsequent pregnancy within the study period. CONCLUSIONS: Efforts to provide same-day access for all contraceptive methods are needed.

Adolescent Access to Federally Funded Clinics Providing Confidential Family Planning Following Changes to Title X Funding Regulations.

Importance: In May 2019, new federal regulations regarding Title X funding were introduced. There has been no formal evaluation of the impact of this regulatory shift as it pertains to minors' access to services. Objective: To explore the geography of federally funded clinics providing confidential reproductive care to adolescents following changes to Title X funding regulations. Design, Setting, and Participants: This retrospective cross-sectional study used a population-based sample of US Census tracts. All clinics participating in the Title X program in August 2018 and August 2020 were included in the analysis. Data were analyzed from January to December 2021. Exposures: Period, defined as before and after the 2019 Title X rule change (August 2018 and August 2020, respectively). Main Outcomes and Measures: US Census tracts were evaluated for the availability of confidential family planning care within a 30-minute drive, according to the presence of a Title X clinic or a permissive state law. Census tracts in which minors lost access to confidential care after the rule change were characterized in terms of demographic characteristics. Univariate logistic regression evaluated associations between Census tract characteristics and the odds of losing vs maintaining access to legally protected confidential minor services. Results: The study included 72 620 Census tracts, accounting for approximately 324 697 728 US residents (99.96% of the population). After the Title X rule change, 1743 clinics in the Title X program left (39.0%) and minors living in 6299 Census tracts (8.7%) lost access to confidential family planning care, corresponding to an estimated 933 649 youth aged 15 to 17 years. Minors living in rural Census tracts (odds ratio [OR], 1.27; 95% CI, 1.18-1.36) and those in the Midwest (OR, 2.41; 95% CI, 2.24-2.60) had higher odds of losing access to care. Minors living in Census tracts with a higher Social Vulnerability Index (OR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.47-0.55), a larger proportion of Black individuals (OR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.31-0.37), and/or a larger proportion of Hispanic individuals (OR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.42-0.49) were less likely to lose access to care. Conclusions and Relevance: These findings suggest that there were losses in access to legally protected confidential reproductive health services for youth after the 2019 Title X rule change. Although evidence-based Title X guidelines have since been reinstated, state laws that ensure adolescent confidentiality in obtaining family planning services may protect youth from future alterations to the Title X program.

Adolescent Women with Congenital Heart Disease: Self-Reported Reproductive Health Discussions with Health Care Providers.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated self-reported discussions with health care providers (HCPs) among adolescent and young adult (AYA) women with congenital heart disease (CHD). DESIGN: Data were collected through a one-time survey of AYA women. SETTING: Participants were recruited from pediatric cardiology clinics. PARTICIPANTS: AYA women with CHD, ages 14-21 (N = 107) INTERVENTIONS: None MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Questionnaires assessed adolescent characteristics and specific HCP discussions regarding transmissibility of a cardiac condition to the infant, risk of pregnancy, and hormonal contraception. Outcome measures were self-reported discussions with HCPs about these reproductive health topics. RESULTS: Mean age was 16.8 years (SD = 2.1). Self-reported reproductive health discussions were infrequent, including discussions on transmissibility of a heart condition to their offspring (37%), risk of pregnancy to their offspring (34%), risks of pregnancy to their health (46%), and risks of hormonal contraception given their heart condition (21%). Reported discussions were most commonly with a cardiologist. CONCLUSIONS: AYA women with CHD reported limited discussions about reproductive health topics important to those with CHD. Lack of appropriate and timely counseling could lead to poor maternal and child health outcomes. Targeted interventions that improve reproductive health discussions between HCPs and AYA women with CHD are needed to close critical information and service gaps.

Implementation of a pharmacist-led hormonal contraceptive prescribing service in a campus community pharmacy in Indiana, United States.

OBJECTIVE(S): College-age people have the highest numbers of unintended pregnancies and pharmacies within college campuses are in a unique position to meet student needs. Our objective was to implement a pharmacist contraceptive prescribing service in a campus pharmacy and examine the service utilization. STUDY DESIGN: The Purdue University Pharmacy (Indiana, United States) implemented a pharmacist hormonal contraception prescribing service via a collaborative drug therapy management agreement with the campus student health center. The collaborative drug therapy management agreement enables pharmacists to independently prescribe pills, patches, rings, injections, and emergency contraception to students meeting eligibility criteria. After completing a patient health screening and blood pressure check, the pharmacist discusses the eligible method(s) and prescribes up to a 12-month supply. A referral to another provider for long-acting reversible contraception or further evaluation may also be provided. We collected basic information about each encounter (e.g., age, blood pressure, method of contraception prescribed, and time). RESULTS: During the 2020-2021 academic year, 125 prescribing consultations took place with an average appointment length of 20 minutes (range, 12-65 minutes). The median patient age was 21 years (range, 18-30 years). Eligible patients (n = 123, 98%) received a prescription and 119 (95%) prescriptions were written: combined oral pill (n = 91, 77%), injection (n = 12, 10%), patch (n = 6, 5%), vaginal ring (n = 5, 4%), and progestin only pill (n = 5, 4%). CONCLUSION(S): The pharmacist contraception prescribing service developed by the Purdue University Pharmacy and Student Health Center is a unique approach to meeting the needs of students. Few external resources are required for implementation, and most patients were medically eligible to receive hormonal contraception. IMPLICATIONS: Collaboration between on-campus student health centers and pharmacies can be explored as 1 approach to increase access to hormonal contraception for students.

Developing a Youth Contraception Navigator Program: A Human-Centered Design Approach.

PURPOSE: To determine key elements of a contraception navigator program that provides a personalized approach to overcoming patient-specific barriers by a trained navigator in central Indiana. METHODS: A human-centered design approach was used to engage adolescents and community stakeholders in co-design sessions. Sessions incorporated techniques, such as divergent brainwriting and journey maps, which led to the exploration of various themes that were ultimately used to inform key elements of the contraception navigator program. RESULTS: Adolescents aged 15-17 years (N = 35) and community stakeholders (N = 11) participated in co-design sessions. Analysis verified that the process of obtaining contraception for pregnancy prevention could be intimidating for young people. The importance of language, the presence of stigma, and the knowledge of side effects were all discussed. Essential elements of a contraceptive navigator program included building trust to ultimately co-create a plan that can overcome patient-specific barriers. Having a variety of communication methods available, as well as contraceptive side-effect support, will be essential. DISCUSSION: Using human-centered design techniques to engage adolescent and community stakeholders can help inform the development of a contraceptive navigator program. A trusted navigator that can address patient-specific barriers to contraception access both before and after contraception is obtained is a key element identified by stakeholders.
