Malathion and diazinon are pesticides widely used in agriculture as well as for domestic and veterinary purposes to control pests, such as scale insects, aphids, and fleas. However, these compounds may have harmful effects on the female genital system in humans and animals. This study conducted a systematic review of the scientific literature on the female reproductive effects in humans and rodents exposed to malathion or diazinon.

Clinical algorithms are commonly used as decision-support tools, incorporating patient-specific characteristics to predict health outcomes. Risk calculators are clinical algorithms particularly suited for resource allocation based on risk estimation. Although these calculators typically use physiologic data in estimation, they frequently include demographic variables such as race, sex, and age as well.

This letter, signed by over 50 academic chairs of emergency medicine, urges the ACGME to reconsider a proposed mandate requiring all emergency medicine residency programs to adopt a four-year training model. The authors argue that current three-year programs are supported by data demonstrating equivalent educational and clinical outcomes compared to four-year formats. They criticize the flawed survey methodology underpinning the proposal, note the loss of milestone-based training flexibility, and highlight the lack of added scholarly or clinical value in the fourth year.

Background: Japan's maternal mortality rate and perinatal mortality rate have shown one of the world's most significant declines, positioning Japan at the global forefront of the lowest levels. The nearly logarithmic annual decline in maternal and perinatal mortality rates suggests that, in addition to advances in medicine and healthcare, various types of care for mothers and newborns have played a crucial role in this achievement.
Method: From the period of World War II to the postwar era, up to around 1980, and then every decade thereafter, the events and movements surrounding perinatal healthcare in each era were examined from the perspectives of epidemiology, medical/healthcare advancements, and institutional/policy trends.
