Article Synopsis
- In 2021, France expanded access to assisted reproductive technology (ART) for single women (SWs) and lesbian couples (LCs), aiming to compare their characteristics with those of heterosexual couples (HCs) using sperm donation.
- A study conducted at the Nancy Regional University Hospital between October 2021 and June 2023 included 638 participants, with 49.7% being SWs, 44.5% LCs, and only 5.8% HCs, revealing differences in demographics and parenthood aspirations.
- The findings indicated that SWs were older and came from more professional backgrounds, while both LCs and HCs prioritized phenotypic matching more than SWs, highlighting the need for
Background: ESTIMABL2, a multicentre randomised phase 3 trial in patients with low-risk differentiated thyroid cancer (ie, pT1am or pT1b, N0 [no evidence of regional nodal involvement] or Nx [involvement of regional lymph nodes that cannot be assessed in the absence of neck dissection]), showed the non-inferiority of a follow-up strategy without radioactive iodine (I) administration compared with a postoperative I administration at 3 years post-randomisation. Here, we report a pre-specified analysis after 5 years of follow-up.
Methods: Patients treated with total thyroidectomy with or without prophylactic neck lymph node dissection, without postoperative suspicious findings on neck ultrasonography, were randomly assigned to the no-radioiodine group or to the radioiodine group (1·1 GBq-30 mCi after recombinant human thyrotropin-stimulating hormone).
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and patient tolerance of hysterosalpingo-foam sonography (HyFosy) compared to other tests for assessing tubal patency, using data from 20 studies published between 2012 and January 2023.
- - Results showed that HyFosy matched laparoscopy results in 94% of cases and had similar effectiveness to hysterosalpingography (HSG) for identifying tubal patency, but was associated with less pain and side effects.
- - The authors recommend using HyFosy as a first-line method for assessing tubal patency and stress the importance of updating guidelines to include and standardize this procedure.
Article Synopsis
- - Patients with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) show better left atrial (LA) health, evidenced by lower LA volume, higher voltage, and fewer low-voltage zones (LVZs) compared to those without TIC.
- - In a study of 139 persistent atrial fibrillation patients undergoing catheter ablation, those with TIC had less atrial remodeling and a 36-month follow-up showed no significant difference in the rate of atrial tachyarrhythmia (AT) recurrence between TIC and non-TIC groups.
- - Overall, the findings suggest TIC patients have similar, if not improved, outcomes following ablation procedures, despite possessing a less remodeled atrial substrate.
