Analysis of clinical outcomes of vitrified-warmed embryo transfer after IVF/ICSI at high altitude (3650 m) in Tibet.

Research Question: What are the pregnancy outcomes of IVF vitrified-warmed embryo transfer (IVF-FET) carried out in a clinical setting located at an altitude of 3650 m in Tibet, China?

Design: A retrospective analysis of 238 infertility couples (n = 344 treatment cycles) who underwent FET treatment at the Xizang Fukang Hospital, Tibet. The overall clinical pregnancy rate, implantation rate, live birth rate, miscarriage rate and ectopic pregnancy rate were statistically analysed. Women were categorized into two groups based on age: 35 years or younger (n = 265 cycles) and over 35 years (n = 79 cycles).

Ovarian pregnancy rupture following ovulation induction and intrauterine insemination: A case report.

Background: Ovarian pregnancy after assisted reproductive technology treatment has rarely been reported; ovarian pregnancy following intrauterine insemination (IUI) is even rarer, and only nine cases have previously been reported.

Case Summary: We report a case of ovarian pregnancy rupture after ovulation induction and IUI. The patient presented with bilateral lower abdominal pain and was referred to the emergency department.

Comparison of outcomes of hysteroscopic myomectomy of type 2 submucous fibroids greater than 4 cm in diameter via pretreatment with HIFU or GnRH-a.

Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and gonadotropin-releasing analogues (GnRH-a) as pretreatments for the hysteroscopic transcervical resection of myoma (TCRM) for type 2 submucosal fibroids greater than 4 centimeters in diameter.

Materials And Methods: Seventy-nine patients were assigned into two groups according patient preference: 42 in HIFU and 37 in GnRHa. TCRM was performed after 3 months of pretreatment with HIFU or GnRHa.

Magnetic resonance imaging T2WI hyperintense foci number and the prognosis of adenomyosis after high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between the number of hyperintense foci of T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) and the efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in the treatment of adenomyosis.

Methods: This prospective cohort study enrolled 102 patients with adenomyosis. Participants were classified into two groups: 50 patients in whom the number of hyperintense foci on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T2WI was more than five were placed in the >5 group and 52 patients in whom the number of hyperintense foci on MRI T2WI was five or fewer were placed in the ≤5 group.

Management of lumbar spondylodiscitis developing after laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy with a mesh: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Lumbar spondylodiscitis is a rare and severe complication of laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy with a polypropylene mesh. However, a case of lumbar spondylodiscitis following laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy has not been reported so far. We present a case of lumbar spondylodiscitis following laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy with a mesh.
