Abstract: Acute pelvic pain in reproductive-aged persons who are assigned female at birth is associated with an extensive differential diagnosis, with possible causes ranging from the genitourinary or gastrointestinal to the musculoskeletal or neurovascular, in some cases even extending to psychological and dermatologic presentations. This article presents a case study that serves as an exemplar of the differential diagnosis of acute pelvic pain, culminating in diagnosis of the patient with a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst as well as a review of outpatient surveillance guidelines for adnexal masses. Management of this difficult-to-diagnose condition is reviewed, and special populations are considered.

Abstract: NPs play a pivotal role in preventing unintended pregnancies in the US. This article provides a comprehensive update on emergency contraception (EC) trends, emphasizing the persistent challenge of reducing unintended pregnancies-a key health priority in the Healthy People 2030 initiative. Despite a declining trend in unintended pregnancy rates from 2010 to 2019, national goals have not been met, and healthcare disparities persist. NPs should be aware of EC methods and prescribing implications. In addition, NPs should be aware of ongoing research focusing on EC options such as levonorgestrel intrauterine devices and the promising addition of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors to oral EC options.

Abstract: Chronic hepatitis B remains a substantial global health challenge, impacting approximately 254 million people worldwide. A cure for this condition is yet to be discovered. Early identification and effective treatments coupled with vigilant monitoring can help alleviate associated morbidity and mortality due to potential complications such as liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
