The theory of gender and power provides a unique framework for understanding condom use by accounting for distinct challenges faced by minority women in particular. This study examined whether self‐efficacy about condom use communication (SECC) and perceived partner's beliefs about condom (PPBC) use had an influence on condom use frequency; and whether these associations varied by gender. A sample of 252 African–American college students (101 males and 151 females) completed a confidential online survey assessing SECC, PPBC, and condom use behavior. SECC and PPBC showed significant associations with condom use behavior. Furthermore, there was a gender interaction effect with PPBC on condom use behavior. As PPBC increases toward positive associations about condom use, condom use behavior increased significantly more for females (B = 0.42; p = .02) as compared to males (B = 0.26; p = .19). This study supports the need to teach young women effective communication skills in order for them to accurately assess what their partner thinks about condom‐related behaviors; and ultimately not allow partner discouragement to influence their decisions to use condoms. Interventions aimed at reducing risky sexual behavior on predominantly Black college campuses, in particular, may benefit from directly addressing relationship power and focusing on building self‐efficacy in communicating condom use.

<p>Cervical teratomas are extremely rare germ cell tumours. Cervical teratoma is much more common in newborn than adults, and in contrast to the paediatric cases adult teratomas have been highly malignant. Cervical teratoma incorporates lesions arising in the anterior and posterior triangles of the neck. Cervical teratoma can reach enormous size and cause airway obstruction.  Surgery is the primary modality of treatment as malignant transformation occurs. Hereby, we present a case of benign teratoma of neck in adult which was completely misdiagnosed preoperatively due to its rare occurence in adults. Even though cervical teratoma of adult is extremely rare, it should be considered as an important differential diagnosis in patient of midline cystic neck swelling. Preoperative radiological investigations requires high index of suspicion. Complete surgical resection is recommended. </p>

The term 'sinusitis' refers to a group of disorders characterized by inflammation of the mucosa of theparanasal sinuses. Because the inflammation nearly always also involves the nose, it is now generally accepted that 'rhinosinusitis' is the preferred term to describe this inflammation of the nose and paranasal sinuses. Presently, functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is the standard treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and in sinonasal polyposis. The endoscopic procedure is based on the principles introduced by Messerklinger, which prioritize both the function and the permeability of pre-ethmoidal spaces. In 1985, Kennedy described this technique and popularized the term "Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery -FESS".
