Current status of fertility preservation in a Spanish tertiary public hospital: multidisciplinary approach and experience in over 1500 patients
ConclusionsThe increase in FP treatment reflects the implementation of reproductive counselling in oncology programmes. A multidisciplinary approach in a tertiary public hospital allows individualised FP treatment for each patient. In recent years, there has been a change in trend with the introduction of new indications for FP and a change in techniques due to their optimisation. (Source: Clinical and Translational Oncology)

Aneuploidy detection in pooled polar bodies using rapid nanopore sequencing
ConclusionThe automated detection of the ploidy classification per chromosome and shorter duplications or deletions depending on the sequencing depth demonstrates an advantage of the ONT method over standard, commercial aCGH methods, which do not consider the presence of three chromatids in pooled polar bodies.

Private equity investment in health care delivery, Australia, 2008-2022
CONCLUSIONS: The number of private equity acquisitions of Australian health care delivery assets increased during 2008-2022. Doctors should be aware of the motivations and dynamics of private equity companies, as they are increasingly likely to interact with these firms and assets owned by these firms.PMID:38566454 | DOI:10.5694/mja2.52270 (Source: Medical Journal of Australia)

Can serum progesterone concentration direct a fresh or freeze-all transfer strategy in the first in vitro fertilisation cycle?
ConclusionsIn an unselected population, frozen transfer is associated with greater chances of live birth, especially in patients with higher serum progesterone concentration. In patients over 35 years old, the benefit of a freeze-all policy appears small across all serum progesterone concentrations. (Source: Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics)

Comparing blastocyst euploid rates between the progestin-primed and gonadotrophin-releasing hormone antagonist protocols in aneuploidy genetic testing: a randomised trial protocol
This study aims to compare the euploidy rate of blastocysts following the PPOS protocol and the gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist protocol in women undergoing preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A). Methods/analysis This is a randomised trial. A total of 400 women undergoing PGT-A will be enrolled and randomised according to a computer-generated randomisation list to either (1) the antagonist group: an antagonist given once daily from day 6 of ovarian stimulation till the day of the ovulation trigger; or (2) the PPOS group: dydrogesterone from the first day of ovarian stimulation till the day of ov...
