6-240 minutes for open cholecystectomy) and hospital stay (3-9 days after laparoscopic and 8.3-18 days after open cholecystectomy). Intraoperative findings during cholecystectomies for XGC included empyema or Mirizzi syndrome. In addition, complex surgical procedures, like wedge hepatic resections and bile duct excision were required during operations for XGC. XGC seemed to be a rare, benign inflammatory disease that presents similar features as gallbladder cancer. The mortality and complication rates of XGC were low, despite the complex surgical procedures that might be required in some cases.

Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer death in women in low- and middle-income countries, largely because of late-stage diagnosis. Yet studies are very limited in the Ethiopian context. Therefore, we determined the occurrence of late-stage disease and associated factors in selected public hospitals in south and southwest Ethiopia. A 5-year retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on breast cancer patient medical records from January 2013 to December 2017 in 6 hospitals. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with late-stage disease (stage III and IV). Adjusted odds ratios (AOR) with 95% confidence intervals were used. P< .05 was considered statistically significant. Overall, 426 breast cancer patients were identified, and 72.5% were diagnosed with late-stage disease. The mean ± standard deviation patient age was 42.8 ± 13.4 years. Factors associated with late diagnosis were patient delay in seeking care (AOR= 2.50; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.o promote early breast cancer diagnosis, particularly in rural areas, are needed in south and southwest Ethiopia. Emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) are an underused resource among adolescent and young adult women who have unprotected sex. This analysis examines young women's attitudes about and willingness to use ECPs, with particular attention to their experiences with health care providers. Sexually active young women (ages 15-25, assigned female at birth, N=212) completed a self-administered survey at 10 family planning clinics in the San Francisco Bay Area. Participants reported attitudes about ECP effectiveness, safety, effect on sex drive, and whether it should not be taken often, and their willingness to use ECPs in the next 3months. The predictors of interest were past and current contraceptive experiences with health care providers. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression analyses controlling for sociodemographic characteristics, prior contraceptive use, pregnancy history, and pregnancy intentions. Most young women agreed that ECPs are effective at preventing pregnancy (75%) and safe to use (71%); few reported that they reduce sex drive (11%). Yet, the majority (62%) believed ECPs should not be taken often and only 35% reported willingness to use ECPs. In multivariable analyses, more positive health care experiences were associated with more positive attitudes about ECP safety, less concern that ECPs should not be taken often, and greater willingness to use ECPs (p<.05). Health care providers play an important role in the acceptance and provision of ECPs, especially for young women who prefer ECPs over other contraceptive methods. In particular, providers can use the contraceptive visit as an opportunity to destigmatize repeat ECP use.
