Cimetidine for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis in pregnancy as an alternative adjuvant treatment
ConclusionCimetidine is generally safe and not known to be associated with any major teratogenic risks during pregnancy. RRP is postulated to worsen in pregnant women due to the increase in oestrogen levels during pregnancy. Hence, adjuvant therapy was imperative for our patient to reduce recurrent papillomata formation during her pregnancy. Larger scale studies are warranted to assess the use of long-term high-dose cimetidine in terms of efficacy and safety in pregnancy. (Source: European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology)

Molecular and cellular programs underlying the development of bovine pre-implantation embryos
Reprod Fertil Dev. 2023 Dec;36(2):34-42. doi: 10.1071/RD23146.ABSTRACTEarly embryonic mortality is a major cause of infertility in cattle, yet the underlying molecular causes remain a mystery. Over the past half century, assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilisation and somatic cell nuclear transfer have been used to improve cattle reproductive efficiency; however, reduced embryo developmental potential is seen compared to their in vivo counterparts. Recent years have seen exciting progress across bovine embryo research, including genomic profiling of embryogenesis, new methods for improving embryo comp...

Surgery to improve male fertility
CONCLUSION: Whenever possible, the urologist should present the surgical options for improving male fertility to the ART team and to the couple, discussing the benefit/risk balance of the operation as part of a personalized approach.PMID:38012911 | DOI:10.1016/j.purol.2023.09.011 (Source: Progres en Urologie)

Inpatient versus outpatient management of prenatally diagnosed vasa praevia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Vasa praevia is a pregnancy complication where unprotected fetal blood vessels are in close proximity or cross the internal cervical os. The most recent incidence estimate is approximately 1 in 1200 pregnancies [1] and risk factors include low-lying, succenturiate or bilobed placenta, velamentous cord insertion, in vitro fertilisation and multiple pregnancy.

Strong social disparities in access to IVF/ICSI despite free cost of treatment: a French population-based nationwide cohort study
Access to IVF/ICSI is facilitated when the financial barrier is removed. In a national context where in vitro fertilisation (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm Injection (ICSI) treatment is cost-free, how many women ... (Source: BMC Women's Health)

An Evidence-Based Case Report of Female Infertility Treated with Individualised Homoeopathic Medicine
Homœopathic Links DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1770721 Introduction Infertility is defined as the failure to conceive within 1 or more years of regular unprotected coitus. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India to be between 3.9 and 16.8%. Medical therapy includes the treatment of reversible endocrine or infectious causes of subfertility. In the medical literature, case reports of infertility are scanty. We aimed to report a case treated with homoeopathic constitutional medicine in a lady suffering from infertility. Case summary A female patient, aged 30, ...

Expression of genes and enzymes involved in ovarian steroidogenesis in relation to human follicular development
This study aims to explore the expression patterns of key enzymes that govern human ovarian steroidogenesis throughout follicle development, employing both genomic and immunological methodologies. MethodsFollicles and GCs obtained from women undergoing ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) and in vitro fertilisation treatment were utilized. Gene expression data were obtained from a Chinese study using RNA sequencing and from microarray data generated in our laboratory to comprehensively analyse gene expression profiles across distinct stages of follicular development. To corroborate the localisation of key enzymes within G...

Current status of fertility preservation in a Spanish tertiary public hospital: multidisciplinary approach and experience in over 1500 patients
CONCLUSIONS: The 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.PMID:37872422 | DOI:10.1007/s12094-023-03330-2 (Source: Clinical Breast Cancer)
