Introduction Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) rely on endometrial receptivity (ER) for successful embryo implantation. This study aimed to compare the impact of different progesterone administration routes on ER assessed using optimal time for endometrial receptivity analysis (OpERA) and clinical outcomes in ART cycles. Methods A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted on 281 infertile women who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Understanding the factors contributing to implantation failure is essential for developing accurate diagnostic tools and treatment strategies. Endometrial receptivity (ER) during the window of implantation is crucial for successful embryo implantation in in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures.

- The study looked at whether doing endotracheal intubation (a medical procedure to help people breathe) before reaching the hospital is helpful or harmful after a trauma.
- They compared two groups: one that had intubation attempts before arriving at the emergency department and one that had it done shortly after arriving.
- Their findings showed that patients intubated before getting to the hospital spent more time at the scene, but there wasn't a big difference in survival rates between the two groups.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating a device that efficiently converts quantum states between microwave and optical domains, crucial for building quantum networks and computers.
- It features a hybrid setup using lithium niobate on silicon, leveraging acoustic properties to minimize loss and enhance performance during transduction.
- The proposed transducer is expected to achieve a conversion efficiency of up to 35% with low noise, making it effective for linking superconducting quantum processors with optical fibers for entanglement.
Background: The emergence of the COVID pandemic unfolded a series of precautions and dilemmas and the complete suspension of health services. With the gradual emergence of data showing near minimal effects of the virus on pregnancy, Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART) services were gradually resumed following guidelines and advisories.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to detect the COVID positivity rate in women undergoing ART treatment during the COVID pandemic and compare clinical and embryological outcomes to the ART cycles performed in the pre-COVID era.
