Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how prenatal exposure to heavy metals (Lead, arsenic, cadmium, selenium) relates to adverse pregnancy outcomes, particularly focusing on differences between low-risk and high-risk groups of women with varying preterm birth histories.
- 404 women participated, and their blood metal levels were measured, showing significant differences in concentration between low-risk and high-risk groups, with low-risk having higher levels of these metals.
- Despite the findings of elevated metal levels, the study found no significant correlation between these metals and negative pregnancy outcomes, indicating a need for more research to explore the effects of these metals on pregnancy.
Objective: To study the association among fertility treatments, treatment protocol, and offspring neoplasm risk up to the age of 18 years.
Design: A population-based retrospective cohort.
Setting: Soroka University Medical Center (SUMC), the single tertiary medical center and in vitro fertilization (IVF) unit in southern Israel.

In this study, we investigate if children born following assisted reproduction technologies (ARTs) are at an increased risk for long-term ophthalmic complications. For this purpose, a population-based cohort analysis was conducted which included all deliveries between 1991 and 2014 at a single tertiary medical center. Offspring were classified relative to conception method as ART or spontaneous pregnancies.
