Effectiveness of the original monovalent mRNA COVID-19 vaccination series against hospitalization for COVID-19-associated venous thromboembolism.

Background: COVID-19 is a strong risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination in preventing hospitalization for COVID-19 with VTE.

Methods: Adults hospitalized at 21 sites between March 2021 and October 2022 with symptoms of acute respiratory illness were assessed for COVID-19, completion of the original monovalent mRNA COVID-19 vaccination series, and VTE.

Implementation of a Near-Peer Support Program to Improve Trainee Well-Being after Patient Safety Events.

Adverse events can take an emotional toll on physicians, which, left unprocessed, can have negative impacts on well-being, including burnout and depression. Peer support can help mitigate these negative effects. Structured programs train physicians to aid colleagues in processing work-related experiences and emotions such as guilt and self-doubt.

Double vitrification and warming does not compromise the chance of live birth after single unbiopsied blastocyst transfer.

Study Question: Does double vitrification and thawing of an embryo compromise the chance of live birth after a single blastocyst transfer?

Summary Answer: The live birth rate (LBR) obtained after double vitrification was comparable to that obtained after single vitrification.

What Is Known Already: Double vitrification-warming (DVW) is commonly practiced to accommodate surplus viable embryos suitable for transfer, to allow retesting of inconclusively diagnosed blastocysts in preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), and to circumvent limitations associated with national policies on embryo culture in certain countries. Despite its popularity, the evidence concerning the impact of DVW practice on ART outcomes is limited and lacking credibility.
