Menopause, weight, and metabolic health - considerations for a patient centered, multidisciplinary approach.

Purpose Of Review: To examine the complexity of weight and metabolic changes during the menopausal transition and propose a multidisciplinary care approach to support long-term metabolic health.

Recent Findings: Menopause, weight and metabolic health changes are influenced by many interplaying factors, and therefore, require a multipronged, multidisciplinary patient centered approach. This approach should start with a medical history and examination.

Elevated sperm chromosome aneuploidy and apoptosis in patients with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss.

Objective: To evaluate sperm chromosome aneuploidy and semen quality in 24 partners of women with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss and to analyze the data in relation to sperm apoptosis data.

Methods: Semen quality parameters and sperm chromosome aneuploidy for chromosomes X, Y, 13, 18, and 21 were evaluated in the recurrent pregnancy loss patients, fertile controls, and a control group of men from the general population.

Results: The mean aneuploidy rate in the recurrent pregnancy loss group was 2.
