Patients undergoing elective and oncofertility preservation respond similarly to controlled ovarian stimulation for fertility preservation.

Objective: Outcome data for oocyte vitrification for fertility preservation are still scarce despite the scientific and technological advances. Studies suggest that patients with cancer have worse outcomes regarding mature vitrified oocytes when compared to healthy patients. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the oocyte vitrification response in patients undergoing elective and oncofertility preservation.

Tubal factor, cleavage stage and more than one embryo transferred were risk factors associated with ectopic pregnancy after assisted reproductive treatment.

Objective: Ectopic pregnancy is a well-known complication following in vitro fertilization with embryo transfer; studies have questioned, however, whether there are risk factors that could be identified before the procedure. The objective of this study was to investigate the possible risk factors involved in ectopic pregnancy following in vitro fertilization.

Methods: Retrospective case-control study performed at an assisted reproduction clinic in Brazil.

The Quality of Mobile Apps Used for the Identification of Pressure Ulcers in Adults: Systematic Survey and Review of Apps in App Stores.

Background: The increasing global use of smartphones has contributed to the growing use of apps for various health conditions, showing promising results. Through mobile apps, it is possible to perform chronological and iconographic follow-up of wounds, such as pressure ulcers, using a simple and practical tool. However, numerous surveys have pointed out issues related to the functionality, design, safety, and veracity of app information.
