This scenario describes a sexual assault that occurred in a workplace. A chief rubbed her breasts against a sailor who was trying to move away, wedging him between a wall and desk. Witnesses were shocked or laughed. The victim was visibly shaken. When the chief saw a witness's horrified reaction, she laughed rather than showing concern for violating boundaries. This was clearly nonconsensual unwanted sexual contact that created a hostile environment.

Harris danielle 05282020
This document summarizes self-care initiatives for sexual and reproductive health. It discusses the WHO definition of self-care, and examples like the Caya diaphragm introduced in Niger through the EECO project. Over 600 diaphragm kits were sold or distributed there from 2019-2020. The DOT app was marketed in India to help women track their periods and fertility. Looking ahead, more evidence is still needed on specific self-care interventions and how to evaluate them, while building advocacy and addressing regulatory questions. COVID-19 also impacts future self-care work.

Student-Assessed Sex Education Standards
- The SASS Project aimed to assess how well California high schools complied with the California Healthy Youth Act (CHYA) standards for comprehensive sex education, from the perspective of students.
- Students at 13 LAUSD high schools completed an anonymous online survey assessing their sex ed classes' coverage of CHYA standards and classroom environment.
- Results showed a range of compliance across schools, with strongest coverage of HIV topics and weakest coverage of gender/sexuality and contraception. Classroom environment also varied, with teachers generally comfortable but time limited.
- The findings could help identify areas of improvement, but LAUSD had not yet decided to formally incorporate the student surveys or provide feedback to schools.

The Inexplicable Persistence of EFM – Is the Law to Blame?The Bixby Center on Population and Reproductive Health
This document discusses the persistence of electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) despite evidence that it does not improve neonatal outcomes for low-risk pregnancies compared to intermittent auscultation. While EFM was introduced to screen for fetal distress and reduce cerebral palsy rates, multiple studies have found it does not achieve these goals. However, EFM continues to be used in 85% of deliveries and has led to increased cesarean rates and costs without clear benefits. The document examines possible explanations for EFM's persistence, including the influence of law and economics, and calls for more randomized trials before new medical technologies are widely adopted.Papp green melissa-02232020

Empowerment with Sex Workers for HIV Prevention in IndiaThe Bixby Center on Population and Reproductive Health
This document provides information about the Durbar intervention for HIV prevention among sex workers in Kolkata, India. It summarizes the evolution of the intervention over time from community mapping and advocacy in 1991 to establishing community organizations and microfinance opportunities for sex workers in 1995. Key aspects of the intervention included community mobilization, empowerment training, peer health workers, and addressing structural barriers faced by sex workers. The document also summarizes a replication study conducted by UCLA which found that the Durbar intervention was successful in increasing condom use and empowerment outcomes among sex workers compared to standard STI clinic care alone. Factors like education level, employment status, and age predicted which sex workers benefited most from the additional community structural intervention components.Understanding HPV vaccine hesitancy from a cultural and social perspective: ...

This document provides an overview of challenges in implementing sexual and reproductive health rights in Southern Africa, using examples from Botswana, South Africa, and Eswatini. It discusses how international law establishes these rights but they still face challenges in practice. Key issues include lack of legal protections, socio-cultural norms that discriminate against women, and lack of resources. While countries have laws incorporating international standards, discrimination and harmful practices still undermine equal access to healthcare and decision making. Ensuring sexual and reproductive rights requires addressing both legal frameworks and social attitudes.Introduction to Judge Dingake lecture 4 feb 2019

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
