Impact of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation for benign and malignant haematologic and non-haematologic disorders on fertility: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) exposes patients to long-term complications like gonadal dysfunction and infertility. The European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation advised in 2015 that fertility preservation should be considered for children and adolescents requiring HSCT. This systematic review and meta-analysis is part of the FertiTOX project, which aims to close the data gap regarding the gonadotoxicity of anticancer therapies to provide more accurate advice regarding fertility preservation.

Prevalence of Cooking with Polluting Fuels and Association with Elevated Blood Pressure Among Adults in Port au Prince, Haiti: A Cross-Sectional Analysis.

Background: Cooking with polluting fuels is common in low- and middle-income countries and may impact blood pressure, yet data on this association in urban Haiti is limited. This study describes the prevalence of polluting fuel use and indoor cooking, evaluates their associations with blood pressure, and evaluates whether effects are heterogeneous by sex in urban Haiti.

Methods: Using cross-sectional data from the Haiti Cardiovascular Disease Cohort study, prevalence of polluting fuel use and indoor cooking was estimated.

Cine-MRI for Quantifying Uterine Peristalsis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Uterine contractility, also known as uterine peristalsis (UP), is a critical determinant of fertility, affecting sperm transport and embryo implantation. Increased uterine peristaltic activity has been associated with reduced pregnancy rates. However, data are heterogeneous and uterine contractility has not been widely translated into clinical practice.

Early initiation of fast-track care for persons living with HIV initiating dolutegravir-based regimens during a period of severe civil unrest in Port-au-Prince, Haiti: a pilot randomized trial.

Introduction: Differentiated service delivery (DSD) models have been widely implemented for patients in stable HIV care. However, DSD has rarely been offered to newly diagnosed patients. We assessed the effectiveness of early fast-track care during a period of severe civil unrest in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
