Arlene Schwartz notices the new green buds growing in the nearby bushes as she stands on her porch. "This right here is very much, Peter [Schwartz]," she says. "He loved the outdoors and enjoyed seeing all the new growth on the trees and shrubs." Many people knew Peter E. Schwartz, MD, for being a pioneer in women's health and for establishing the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at Yale School of Medicine, but there was much more to the man who passed away last October.

BACKGROUND: Utilization of Fontan fenestration varies considerably by center. OBJECTIVES: Using a multicenter Pediatric Heart Network dataset linking surgical and preoperative hemodynamic variables, the authors evaluated factors associated with use of Fontan fenestration and the impact of fenestration on post-Fontan length of stay (LOS). METHODS: Patients 2 to 6 years old at Fontan surgery from 2010 to 2020 with catheterizationeffect. RESULTS: Fenestration was used in 465 of 702 patients (66.2%).

Women using hormonal birth control can experience a variety of side effects, including weight gain, irregular bleeding, mood swings, acne, headaches, cramping, and even contraceptive failures leading to unintended pregnancies, in rare cases. Because everyone reacts differently to different forms of hormonal birth control, it can be difficult to determine which method will work best for an individual.

Parallel circulation represents a unique circulatory physiology in which the systemic saturation is dependent on a weighted average of the systemic and pulmonary venous saturations. The weights for this average depend on the relative proportion of blood flow going to the pulmonary and systemic circulations. This ratio of pulmonary and systemic blood flow is further dependent on the relative resistances in these two beds.

BACKGROUND: The pandemic poses challenges for in-person procedural skills training. We developed a virtual module for teaching hands-on tracheostomy skills. OBJECTIVE: To develop and evaluate a virtual module prototype grounded in deliberate practice using tracheostomy change as an example. METHODS: After identifying desirable features of a virtual module by surveying stakeholders, we designed a prototype using VoiceThread, a multimedia-based collaborative learning platform.
