Dr. Madana DeHart was the first female graduate physician to practice in New Jersey. She was soon followed by Drs. Sarah DeHart, Florence DeHart, and Clara Krans. They had many barriers to overcome in their practices, but they succeeded. These women serve as role models to all physicians.
Although lipomas are one of the most common soft tissue tumors found in the body, atypical lipomas remain a puzzling diagnostic dilemma. Their differential diagnosis from malignant lesions is imperative, but more important is understanding the correct surgical treatment. A thorough review of the literature, the pathology of the entity, and several illustrative cases are presented.

In dealing with the traumatized pregnant patient, certain special factors must be kept in mind, as follows: Remember you are dealing with two lives, the mother and her developing fetus. Be aware of the anatomic and physiologic changes that occur during pregnancy and be able to take them into account in treating the injured pregnant patient while using the ABCs of trauma care. Particular emphasis must be placed on prevention of fetal anoxia by maintenance of the mother's respiratory status. Frequent blood gas measurements are required. A careful history of the course of the patient's present and previous gestational history will help the emergency room physician from arriving at erroneous conclusions regarding his patient's vital signs. Use diagnostic tests as indicated, but try to avoid or minimize the use of radiology in favor of ultrasonography. Obstetric consultation should be obtained as quickly as possible for the traumatized pregnant patient to help deal with the special bodily changes involved. Observance of the points covered in this article will bring about improved maternal and fetal survival in the traumatized patient.
A case of massive hemorrhage from benign nonspecific ulcer of the rectum necessitating operative intervention is reported. A 42-yr-old woman developed massive hemorrhage from a benign ulcer of the rectum. At laparotomy, a pedunculated fibroid was found to be pressing on the rectum at the site of the ulcer. After hysterectomy and double-barrel colostomy, bleeding ceased and the ulcer healed. The colostomy was closed 3 months later and the patient has remained asymptomatic for 5 yr.
Presented here is an unusual case of extrinsic biliary obstruction due to a mass caused by xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, in itself a rare disease, of the right kidney. This phenomenon has not been described previously in the literature, and it should be brought to the attention of practitioners as another possible cause of biliary disease.

To separate fact from fiction regarding the susceptibility of women athletes to injury, three surveys were conducted. The initial data were collected from the athletic departments of collegiate institutions, and the final material was assembled from certified athletic trainers at these institutions, plus an extensive computer search of applicable publications. The collected statistical data were tabulated, and a written commentary was evaluated by the authors. It was established that injuries sustained by female athletes, aside from those related to different biological structures, were essentially no different than those of men, nor are well-trained women athletes more prone to injury. Ankle and knee injuries are most frequent, and women sustain many contusions, sprains, and shin splints. It is anticipated that the overall number of injuries will decrease as better coaches and trainers become available to women athletes.
