How does ASRM produce clinical guidelines?

ASRM develops evidence-based practice guidelines through a rigorous process of identifying clinically significant questions, conducting systematic literature reviews, and evaluating evidence quality. The evidence-based recommendations in ASRM practice guidelines provide reproductive healthcare professionals with standardized, scientifically grounded recommendations to enhance patient care.

Exploring strategies to enhance patient safety in spine surgery: a review.

Patient safety is the foundation of spine surgery, where the intricate nature of spinal procedures and the unique risks involved call for exceptional diligence and comprehensive protocols. In this high-stakes field, developing and implementing rigorous safety protocols is not only vital for minimizing complications but also for achieving the best possible outcomes and strengthening the confidence patients have in their care team. Each patient entrusts their well-being to their surgical team.

Automatic discrimination between neuroendocrine carcinomas and grade 3 neuroendocrine tumors by deep learning of H&E images.

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) arise from diffuse neuroendocrine cells and are categorized as either well-differentiated and less proliferative Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs), divided into low (G1), middle (G2), and high grades (G3), or poorly differentiated, and more proliferative Neuroendocrine Carcinomas (NECs). Low-grade NENs typically necessitate surgical intervention, whereas high-grade ones often require chemotherapy. However, low-grade NENs may exhibit aggressive behavior.

Shell-bearing Bivalvia and Gastropoda from a rocky shore in the Central Caribbean of Colombia.

This study documents the natural accumulation of mollusk shells on an elevated rocky shore carved into the calcareous rocks of the La Popa formation at Punta Roca (Atlántico), covering an estimated area of 0.35 km. Hydrodynamic transport and differential exposure to environmental conditions are the primary factors contributing to shell deposition.
