We report the case of bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy. The patient was 30 years old and had a 3-year history of infertility; she was referred to the in-vitro fertilization (IVF) program because of tubal factor infertility. A pregnancy resulted from the transfer of two embryos during an artificial cycle. Despite the increase in β -hCG values during the follow-up, 22 days after the embryo transfer, the β -hCG levels were 2,408 U/L and the serum progesterone (P4) level was 10.53 ng/ml. After application with methotrexate, β -hCG levels did not decrease effectively. Moreover, the sonographic screening revealed a suspiciou...

Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Fecundation, Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Abstract Long-chain omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), such as the eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids, have been linked to human health in all stages of life, from fetal development to aging. These PUFAs act as precursors for various metabolites involved in the prevention of certain diseases. The recognizable effects of these supplements prior to pregnancy (oocyte maturation), during pregnancy (improvement in the risk of premature delivery, among others) and in the offspring (in terms of cognitive function and the approach to neurodevelopmental disorders) are described in the present narrative revie...

Description of Referrals for Colposcopy in a Hospital in Brazil
Conclusion Most (60.16%) of the patients referred to the colposcopy service did not benefit from the referral for results without changes, such as negative colposcopies, histologies with no cervical intraepithelial neoplasm (CIN) or only CIN 1, or were out of the age for screening. These findings therefore demonstrate a significant number of unnecessary and inadequate referrals.Resumo Objetivo Descrever os encaminhamentos para colposcopia em um hospital no Brasil e a frequ ência relativa dos pacientes que foram beneficiados, considerando as indicações corretas para o exame e seus diagnósticos finais.
