Objective: To determine the time to resolution of tubal ectopic pregnancy after methotrexate treatment.
Methods: A 14-year retrospective cohort study was performed from 2004-2018 and assessed 216 women treated with single-dose methotrexate for tubal ectopic pregnancy. Women were treated using a single-dose protocol of intramuscular methotrexate (50mg/m2) for confirmed tubal ectopic pregnancy on ultrasound.
Importance: In vitro fertilization (IVF) has evolved dramatically in recent decades; however, clinical practices have been slow to adopt these advancements, particularly regarding final oocyte maturation and the timing of embryo transfer. Concerns still exist over the ability of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists and elective embryo cryopreservation to reduce the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) without compromising pregnancy outcomes.
Objective: This review investigates IVF outcomes associated with GnRH-agonist triggering and elective embryo cryopreservation.
Objective: Plantar fasciosis is a common complaint of athletes, particularly for runners. The medial calcaneal nerve (MCN) may play a role in the pain syndrome, and radiofrequency (RF) denervation has been previously reported. The hypothesis is that ultrasound-guided denervation of the MCN results in symptomatic improvement.

Hypothesis: The pattern of fascicular involvement in Achilles tendinopathy may be characterized at ultrasound, and this characterization is reliable between different observers.
Study Design: Cross-sectional diagnostic study.
