Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how a natural proliferative phase (NPP) strategy for frozen embryo transfer (FET) impacts live birth rates (LBR) compared to conventional artificial (AC) and natural (NC) preparation methods.
- It suggests that NPP-FET may lead to better LBR outcomes, similar to NC, while being a more effective alternative to AC.
- The research, based on a cohort from a private infertility center, analyzed various factors including patient age, embryo quality, and treatment year to assess LBR and other related pregnancy outcomes.
Background: In recent years, transperineal biopsies gained popularity for prostate cancer diagnosis; lower infective complications and improved sampling of the prostate are the main advantages of this technique. One question that remains unclear is whether an initial transperineal biopsy confers a lower risk for rebiopsy compared with the transrectal approach.
Methods: Six hundred seventy-one men were prospectively followed after an initial negative prostate biopsy for a median period of 49.

Objective: Despite the association between intravenous contrast and kidney injury, few studies exist in oncology. Our objective was to estimate kidney outcomes following iodinated contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) in cancer patients, and to evaluate whether self-assessment questionnaires can identify kidney injury risk factors.
Methods: This prospective observational study included 289 patients who underwent a CECT scan between March and May 2017 in a hospital setting.
