Outcomes of fertility investigations in a cohort of adults with perinatally acquired HIV-1 infection: a UK cross-sectional observational study.

There are no published studies of fertility measurements in people living with perinatally acquired HIV (PaHIV). We performed fertility investigations in 25 adults with PaHIV. Seven (78%) men had sperm morphology normal forms (%) below the fifth centile for the general population with four (44%) having no normal forms.

Embryo migration following ART documented by 2D/3D ultrasound.

Embryos have traditionally been thought to implant at the exact site they are transferred during assisted reproductive technology (ART). The introduction of 2D/3D ultrasound has allowed for mapping of the transfer site using air bubbles as a surrogate marker of embryo location. This study's aim was to compare the location of embryo transfer (ET) on ultrasound to that of embryo implantation.

Misoprostol for open myomectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised control trials.

Background: Excessive blood loss is a significant risk of myomectomy with the potential need for hysterectomy.

Objective: To study the effectiveness of preoperative misoprostol compared with placebo at open myomectomy on intra- and postoperative outcomes.

Search Strategy: PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, MEDLINE and EMBASE.

Advances in machine perfusion graft viability assessment in kidney, liver, pancreas, lung, and heart transplant.

Solid organ transplant constitutes the definitive treatment for end-stage organ failure. Better organ preservation methods have enabled use of marginal grafts, thereby expanding the donor pool to meet the growing demand for organs. Static cold storage as a preservation method has been superseded largely by machine perfusion in kidney transplant, with work regarding its use in other organ transplants ongoing.
