Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how well patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) understand their pregnancy risks and management before getting pregnant.
- Most patients had been pregnant before, but many experienced complications, and not enough were getting good advice about these issues.
- There’s a big need for doctors to do a better job of educating patients about the risks and management related to PCOS, especially for those with other health problems.
Depression, Anxiety, and Risk of Metabolic Syndrome in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Longitudinal Study.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab
February 2025
Context: Patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are at high risk of depression, anxiety, and metabolic syndrome (MetSyn), a key predictor of cardiovascular disease. The impact of depression and/or anxiety on MetSyn is unknown in this population.
Objective: To compare the risk of developing MetSyn in patients with PCOS with and without a history of depression and/or anxiety.
Determining early pregnancy location and viability can be cumbersome, often requiring serial evaluations. This study aimed to identify novel biomarker candidates for pregnancy location and viability using a pseudodiscovery high-throughput technique. This was a case-control study among patients presenting for early pregnancy assessment, including ectopic pregnancies, early pregnancy losses, and viable intrauterine pregnancies.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Academic infertility center.
Article Synopsis
- Scientists found that certain foods can help moon jellyfish, fruit flies, and mice heal their body parts better.
- Another group of researchers tried to do the same thing with fruit flies but didn't see the same results.
- The differences in how they cut the flies, the amount of treatment they used, the age of the flies, and how they handled stress might explain why they got different results.
Determining early pregnancy location and viability can be cumbersome, often requiring serial evaluations. This study aimed to identify novel biomarker candidates for pregnancy location and viability using a pseudodiscovery high through-put technique. This was a case-control study among patients presenting for early pregnancy assessment, including ectopic pregnancies, early pregnancy losses, and viable intrauterine pregnancies.

One of the most prominent advances is preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), which allows for the screening of embryos obtained during in vitro fertilization before transfer. Moreover, PGT can be performed for aneuploidy screening, detection of monogenic disorders, or exclusion of structural rearrangements.

Design: Qualitative semi-structured interview study.
Setting: Academic medical center.
Article Synopsis
- Scientists are exploring how to make animals regenerate their limbs, and they've found a method that works for different types of animals.
- Feeding moon jellyfish L-leucine and insulin helped them grow back their arms.
- The same method helped insects regrow legs and even allowed mice to regenerate parts of their toes, showing that certain nutrients could help many animals heal their body parts better.
Background: In a pregnancy of unknown location, an intrauterine fluid collection may represent either the early gestational sac of an intrauterine pregnancy, or as reported in previous literature, the pseudogestational sac of an ectopic pregnancy. Various sonographic features have been used to distinguish these 2 entities, but the clinical relevance of the pseudogestational sac remains unclear.
Objective: To establish the incidence and relative rate of intrauterine fluid collection among ectopic and intrauterine pregnancies and to determine if the size of the collection differs between ectopic and intrauterine pregnancies STUDY DESIGN: We performed a retrospective cohort study of women with pregnancies of unknown location and pelvic or abdominal pain or bleeding.
The Functional Impact of Breast Reconstruction: An Overview and Update.
Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open
March 2018
As rates of bilateral mastectomy and immediate reconstruction rise, the aesthetic and psychosocial benefits of breast reconstruction are increasingly well understood. However, an understanding of functional outcome and its optimization is still lacking. This endpoint is critical to maximizing postoperative quality of life.
