Abstract:
Australia has a lower teenage fertility rate than other industrialised English-speaking countries. However, with over 11,000 births and 12,000 abortions to teenagers each year, the resolution of teenage pregnancy is an issue faced by many young Australian women. ¶ This research seeks to explore the factors that discriminate between those who terminate and those who continue a teenage pregnancy. To achieve this aim a survey was conducted on young ever-pregnant women throughout New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. The survey sought information on young women’s characteristics on three different levels: individual; institutional; and societal or cultural. ¶ The findings suggest that, at each of the three levels proposed, there are factors that discriminate between young women who choose abortion and those who choose motherhood. At the individual level, attitudes to abortion and career aspirations were found to affect pregnancy resolution. At the institutional level factors relating to education, family, relationships and religion were found to discriminate between the two groups. Finally, at the cultural level, ethnicity and area of residence were found to be associated with pregnancy resolution, in addition to modifying the effect of characteristics at other levels.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: An exploratory study of the extent and nature of adolescent pregnancy resolution and pre-abortion counselling was undertaken. Little research has been done on pre-abortion counselling in South Africa since the Choice of Termination of Pregnancy Act (92 of 1996) was passed in February 1997. This study emphasised pre-abortion counselling since this is a new field for most counsellors. A literature study was conducted on adolescent pregnancy, focussing on the factors and possible consequences of the choice to carry the pregnancy to term or to terminate it. Adolescents, more than adults, need assistance to make this decision. Crisis intervention was explored as a possible counselling model for pregnancy resolution and pre-abortion counselling. The preliminary investigation included interviews with social workers and nursing professionals in Mossel Bay. Nursing professionals were included in the study since they administer the pregnancy tests and are therefore the first professionals with whom the pregnant adolescent comes into contact. This investigation revealed that nurses, not social workers, do most of the preabortion counselling in Mossel Bay. The Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act emphasises the importance of supplying pre and post-abortion counselling at the facility providing the termination of pregnancy. The Act also envisages this as primarily a medical concern, with the implication that nursing professionals should do the counselling. The role of professional counsellors such as social workers is not mentioned in the Act. The Act lays down that training will be provided to equip nursing professionals with necessary skills to render this service. The empirical study examined the training and skills of nursing professionals and social workers to determine whether they were adequately qualified to render these services. The respondents' attitude towards pregnant adolescents who choose abortion was also investigated, since this would influence their counselling skills. The investigation revealed that many of the nurses did not seem confident in their counselling although they felt that they were adequately qualified to counsel pregnant adolescents. The nurses explained that they did not feel that they had enough knowledge of the different options, especially foster care and adoption and therefore referred patients to a social worker or Options Pregnancy Centre (a volunteer based counselling centre). The social workers felt confident in counselling adolescents who decided to carry pregnancy to term. The counselling model used was crisis intervention, which is most appropriate for pre-abortion counselling as well. However they felt that they did not have enough information of abortion procedures and emotional consequences of abortion to counsel a pregnant adolescent requesting an abortion effectively. The study showed that respondents felt empathy and understanding for the adolescents' situation and the seriousness of the decision needing to be made. The study also found that social workers and nurses were willing to attend further training in order to improve their knowledge and their counselling skills. The training should therefore not focus on attitudes but simply on improving counselling skills. Training should focus on the nature of a crisis and the steps of crisis intervention.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: 'n Studie is gedoen om die aard en omvang insake die besluitneming ten opsigte van tienerswangerskappe en berading voor 'n aborsie te ondersoek. Sedert die Wet op Beëindiging van Swangerskap (92 van 1996) in Februarie, is weinig navorsing in Suid-Afrika gedoen oor berading voor 'n aborsie. Hierdie studie beklemtoon voorafgaande berading aangaande aborsie, aangesien dit 'n onbekende terrein vir baie beraders is. 'n Literatuurstudie oor tienerswangerskap is geloods met die fokus op faktore en moontlike gevolge van die keuse om die volle termyn van die swangerskap te voltooi of die beëindiging daarvan. Adolessente het meer ondersteuning nodig as volwassenes om so 'n keuse uit te oefen. Krisis-ingryping is ondersoek as 'n moontlike model vir die beslissing van 'n swangerskap en berading wat 'n aborsie voorafgaan. Met die voor-ondersoek is onderhoude met maatskaplike werkers en verpleegkundiges in Mosselbaai gevoer. Verpleegkundiges was deel van die studie aangesien hulle die eerste kundiges is met wie die swanger tiener in aanraking kom, omdat hulle die swangerskaptoetse uitvoer. Dié navorsing toon dat verpleegsters in Mosselbaai (nie maatskaplike werkers nie) grotendeels die berading voor 'n aborsie hanteer. Die Wet benadruk hoe belangrik dit is om beradingsdienste vir voor- en na-aborsie te voorsien by die plek waar die aborsie toegepas word. Dié Wet beskou dit ook primêr as 'n mediese aangeleentheid, gevolglik behoort verpleegkundiges die berading te doen. Daar word egter nie melding gemaak van die rol van professionele beraders soos maatskaplike werkers, in dié verband nie. Die Wet bepaal ook dat verpleegkundiges opleiding sal ontvang om hulle met vaardighede toe te rus om so 'n diens te lewer. Die opleiding en vaardighede van verpleegkundiges en maatskaplike werkers is dus getoets aan die hand van studies, gegrond op praktiese ervaring, om te bepaal of hulle bevoegd is om die dienste te lewer. Daar is ook ondersoek ingestel na die respondente se houding teenoor die swanger adolessent wat 'n aborsie verkies, aangesien hul vermoë om die berading te hanteer, beïnvloed kan word. Die ondersoek toon dat baie verpleegsters onseker voorgekom het tydens berading, hoewel hulle gevoel het dat hulle bekwaam is om swanger adolessente te adviseer. Hulle verklaar dat hulle nie genoeg kennis oor die verskillende opsies, veral pleegsorg en aanneming, gehad het nie, en dus pasiënte na 'n maatskaplike werker of Options Pregnancy Centre verwys het. Maatskaplike werkers het berading aan swanger adolessente wat die termyn van die swangerskap wou voltooi, met sekerheid hanteer. In die proses is krisis-ingryping uitgeoefen wat dan ook gepas is vir berading voor 'n aborsie. Die maatskaplike werkers het egter gevoel dat hulle nie genoeg inligting oor die aborsieproses en die emosionele gevolge daarvan gehad het om die swanger adolessent wat 'n aborsie verlang, effektief voor te lig nie. Die studie het getoon dat respondente die adolessent se situasie en die erns van die besluit wat gemaak moes word, met empatie en begrip hanteer het. Met die studie is ook bevind dat maatskaplike werkers en verpleegsters bereid was om verdere opleiding te ontvang en sodoende hul kennis en vaardighede te verbeter. Die opleiding moet dus nie op houdings fokus nie, maar eerder die ontwikkeling van vaardighede. Dit behoort te fokus op die aard van die krisis en die stappe van krisis-intervensie.

Abstract:
O contrato de trabalho a termo traduzir-se-á sempre numa relação laboral precária. Esta modalidade contratual, nascida para assegurar necessidades do empregador, representa uma forte instabilidade na vida do trabalhador, dada a duração limitada do seu vínculo profissional. Esta fragilidade ganha ainda mais relevância perante a cessação do contrato a termo de um trabalhador, mãe ou pai, que se encontre no exercício das suas responsabilidades parentais. Deste modo, a tutela da parentalidade garante uma proteção especial àqueles trabalhadores em matéria de cessação do contrato. A presente dissertação tem como objeto a análise do equilíbrio entre o regime da caducidade no contrato a termo e a proteção da parentalidade.
The fixed-term employment contract will always represent a precarious employment relationship. This type of contract, created to ensure the needs of the employer, represents a severe instability in the worker's life, given the limited duration of his professional relationship. This precariousness becomes even more relevant in face of a termination of the fixed-term contract of a worker, mother or father, who is in the exercise of their parental responsibilities. In this way, the protection of parenthood guarantees a special protection to those workers in terms of termination of the contract. This dissertation aims to analyze the balance between the expiration regime in the fixed-term contract and the protection of parenthood.

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome can cause thunderclap headache, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and stroke. The clinical presentation can be similar to aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and therefore requires rapid angiography. Angiographic findings of vasculopathy and resolution of clinical symptoms and imaging abnormalities support this diagnosis. This syndrome is most often incited following pregnancy or the ingestion of a vasoactive medication.

Abstract:
Vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) describes the flow of urine from the bladder into the upper urinary tract when the ureterovesical junction fails to perform as a one-way valve. Most commonly, VUR is primary, though it can be secondary to bladder outflow obstruction and can occur in several multiorgan congenital disorders. There is good evidence of a genetic basis with a greatly increased risk of VUR in children with a family history of VUR. VUR is a congenital disorder, which largely shows improvement or complete resolution with age. Fetal VUR may be associated with parenchymal developmental defects (dysplasia). Postnatally non-infected, non-obstructed VUR does not appear to have a detrimental effect on the kidneys. However there is an association of VUR with urinary tract infection and acquired renal parenchymal defects (scarring). The parenchymal abnormalities detected on imaging, often termed reflux nephropathy, may be as a result of reflux-associated dysplasia or acquired renal scarring or both. It is difficult to distinguish between the two on routine imaging. Higher grades of VUR are associated with more severe reflux nephropathy. The precise role of VUR in pyelonephritis and scarring is not clear and it may be that VUR simply increases the risk of acute pyelonephritis. Whilst most VUR resolves during childhood, it is associated with an increased risk of urinary tract infection and burden of acute disease. Investigation strategies vary considerably, related to uncertainties about the natural history of the condition and the effectiveness of various interventions. The long-term prognosis is chiefly related to the morbidity of reflux nephropathy leading in some cases to impairment of glomerular filtration rate, hypertension, proteinuria, and pregnancy-related conditions including hypertension, pre-eclampsia, and recurrent urinary tract infection. Management is controversial and ranges from simple observation with or without provision of rapid access to diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract infections; to long-term prophylactic antibiotics or various antireflux surgical procedures.

Abstract A 30-year-old woman presented to her GP with a two-day history of dysuria, urinary frequency, and an offensive smell to her urine. She was 28 weeks pregnant in her first pregnancy. Her pregnancy had been uncomplicated apart from a previous urinary tract infection with similar symptoms 6 weeks prior to this presentation. A urine culture at this time had confirmed E. coli, sensitive to amoxicillin, so she was given a 5-day course, which led to resolution of her symptoms. She was otherwise fit and well with no past medical history, and was not taking any regular medications. She lived with her husband, worked as an accountant, and had never smoked.

Abstract:
Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy. Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is the most frequent type of thyroid cancer and generally has a good prognosis. Diagnosis is based on neck ultrasound and fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) which selects patients for thyroid surgery. Total thyroidectomy is required for large, invasive tumours with lymph node invasion; lobectomy is sufficient for small nodules without any suspicious features. Clinical and pathology data are used to stratify patients according to their risk of mortality and disease recurrence. Adjuvant therapy with radioiodine is indicated in high-risk groups. Follow-up is based on serial thyroglobulin measurements and ultrasound in a dynamic risk evaluation system. In case of disease persistence or recurrence radioiodine scans, high resolution cross-sectional imaging studies with computed tomography (CT) or MRI and 18FDG-PET are performed. Particular management is required for children and during pregnancy. Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is a rare, aggressive malignancy, affecting older patients, rapidly evolving, and almost uniformly fatal. Prompt management is essential, involving early surgery followed by external radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and palliative care when needed. Thyroid lymphoma is a rare thyroid cancer that frequently occurs on the background of autoimmune thyroiditis. Management depends on histological subtype and stage. In localized forms radiotherapy alone may be sufficient; diffuse forms require a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy to improve survival and decrease the risk of recurrences.

Abstract:
The diagnoses shown in bold in Figure 18.1 are all surgical emergencies that you must exclude as you clerk the patient. In women, you should consider gynaecological causes, e.g. ectopic pregnancy, ovarian torsion (you can of course narrow these down depending on whether the woman is of childbearing age or not). Also, bear in mind that other abdominal pathology can occasionally present as flank pain (e.g. pancreatitis, diverticulitis, appendicitis). You should ask the standard array of questions about the pain—remember the mnemonic SOCRATES: Site: Where is the pain, and has it always been there? Is it unilateral or bilateral? Kidney stones are almost always unilateral, but the location of the pain may radiate from loin to groin. Often they start with a vague discomfort that is ignored until it becomes a severe pain. Onset: Any trauma or other trigger, or spontaneous? Gradual or sudden? Trauma may lead to musculoskeletal pain or internal bleeding. Character: Is the pain colicky or constant? Is it sharp or dull? Ureteric stones give a colicky (waxing and waning) pain because of periodic spasms of the ureteric smooth muscle walls trying to dislodge the blockage. A constant pain is more consistent with a stone lodged in the kidney, which does not periodically contract (‘vermiculate’) like the ureters, or an inflammatory cause. Musculoskeletal pain is more typically an ache, while nerve impingement causes shooting pains. Radiation: Does the pain radiate to the groin (typical of ureteric pain)? Does it radiate down the leg (typical of lumbar nerve root pain)? Alleviating factors: Does anything make the pain better, e.g. a given posture, eating/drinking, any medications, etc.? Timing: How long has the pain been present? Musculoskeletal back pain can last many weeks, whereas a leaking abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is unlikely to persist for more than a day without resolution, one way or another. Exacerbating factors: Does anything make the pain worse? Patients with peritonitis (e.g. due to a perforated peptic ulcer) are very sensitive to movement. Severity: How severe is the pain (e.g. on a scale of 1–10)? Kidney stones are said to be excruciatingly painful, comparable to childbirth.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter addresses the complexity of sexual violence and coercion, rape, pregnancy, and birth in the territories formerly held (and some still coercively controlled) by Islamic State. The monolithic realities of stigma and long-term rights denial are particularly acute for children born through forced pregnancies in territories captured by the Islamic State. These children are outcast, ostracized, and unwanted by their countries of nationality, and defined almost exclusively by the parentage of their absent or dead fathers. As global regulatory mechanisms, Security Council Resolutions, and state approbation for fighters and their associated families have universally shown, there is adverse judgment in abundance and little willingness by many states, particularly Western states, to disaggregate the experience of women, girls and their children and to recognize the complexity of birthing, violence, and gendered realities under the Caliphate. There is little indication that mothers and their children will be treated as victims and there is a dearth of compassion for both.

Although there are well-defined treatments, they are still controversial during pregnancy: surgery seems safe and chemotherapy (CT) poses no harm to the fetus, especially if applied late in pregnancy. Hormone therapy (HT) and radiation therapy (RT) are prone to cause fetal damage. In patients diagnosed with pregnancy during treatment, there are no clear procedures about terminating the pregnancy or ceasing CT and RT. In these cases, it is necessary to monitor the patient and the fetus taking into account the woman’s will - especially if the tumor has estrogen and progesterone receptors, increasing the chance of relapsing or stop responding to CT. This study reports a case in which the hormones of pregnancy influenced a major recurrence of breast cancer, which diminished shortly after the birth. Case report: A 35-year-old woman, diagnosed with infiltrating ductal carcinoma in the left breast, underwent sectorectomy, axillary lymph nodes excision, and RT with an insufficient response. Subsequently, left tumor recurrence arose and mastectomy was performed. In the follow-up, she underwent CT and RT, with poor response. In the interim, it was discovered that the patient was pregnant, thus referred from oncology to gynecology for the interruption, since there was a considerable recurrence in the left breast plastron. Sixth -times pregnant, with five vaginal deliveries, the latest one six years before, all pregancies without complications. She was advised to terminate pregnancy but remained adamant in maintaining the pregnancy. She underwent an obstetric ultrasound showing a viable fetus of six weeks and six days of gestational age (GA). At 22 weeks of pregnancy, she was referred to the hospital by the oncologist for the interruption, as the plastron on the left breast was growing, with CT failure. The patient acknowledged that, with this GA, the fetus’s chance of survival was low. Yet, she opted for pregnancy continuation. Later she was sent by the prenatal care to the maternity hospital at 32 weeks of GA, aiming at delivery and a new CT protocol afterwards. She started corticosteroids for pulmonary development of the conceptus and endured cesarean delivery with bilateral adnexectomy. Female newborn, 1.830g, 8/9 APGAR score and 32 weeks and 5 days Capurro, transferred to the neonatal ICU (intensive care unit) due to prematurity. The patient was evaluated few months after delivery: great spontaneous resolution of the plastron in the left breast, with no effect of pregnancy hormones and responsive to CT. Follow-up in the oncology department.

Abstract:
Introduction: Paget’s disease is a rare condition ocurring in the papillary-areolar complex, and it is associated with carcinoma, representing 0.5%–5% of all types of Breast Cancer (BC). The uniqueness of the case is related by the BC diagnosis during pregnancy, besides the COVID-19 pandemic context and its consequences. Case report: A 37-year-old woman identified a first-trimester pregnancy during preoperative exams of a nipple biopsy, which confirmed Paget’s disease. Due to the pregnancy and considering the COVID-19 pandemic, an expectant conduct follow-up was settled. After eight weeks, the patient at 26-week gestational age referred a breast lump, and a core biopsy confirmed invasive ductal carcinoma. She started treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. After three cycles, the therapy was interrupted because she presented clinically local progression. The interruption of treatment and the pregnancy resolution was made at 36 gestational weeks. Posteriorly, the surgical approach involved mastectomy and axillary limph nodes dissection, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.
