Article Synopsis
- OB-GYN has seen a significant female workforce over the last decade, but the relationship between this demographic and issues like gender bias and sexual harassment remains unclear.
- The study systematically reviews the prevalence of harassment and discrimination faced by OB-GYN clinicians and trainees, along with interventions designed to address these issues in OB-GYN and other surgical fields.
- Findings reveal high rates of sexual harassment (up to 70.9% among female gynecologic oncologists), workplace discrimination (up to 67.2% among female gynecologic oncologists), and bullying (52.8% among female gynecologic oncologists), indicating a troubling issue within the specialty.

Objective: To analyze the impact of the early COVID-19 pandemic on the diagnosis and initiation of treatment for patients with gynecologic cancer.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with gynecologic cancer in the National Cancer Database during 2017-2020 were included. For the first aim, incidence rate ratios were calculated to compare gynecologic cancer diagnosis in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic to the three years prior, and factors associated with a reduction in diagnosis were identified.
Obesity increases risk for cardiomyopathy in the absence of hypertension, diabetes or ischemia. The fatty acid milieu, modulated by diet, may modify myocardial structure and function, lending partial explanation for the array of cardiomyopathic phenotypy. We sought to identify gross, cellular and ultrastructural myocardial changes associated with Western diet intake, and subsequent modification with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation.
