Objective: Determine if group psychoeducational support can improve in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients' quality of life (QoL).
Design: Randomized controlled trial (NCT04048772).
Setting: University-affiliated IVF clinic.
Objective: To determine if transfer of fresh embryos derived from fresh or cryopreserved donor oocytes yields a higher live birth rate.
Design: Historical cohort study.
Setting: Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology Clinic Outcome Reporting System database.
Objective: To determine if weight or body mass index (BMI) affects the serum progesterone level at the time of the pregnancy test in cryopreserved blastocyst transfer cycles and to determine if those serum progesterone levels affect live births.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: US academic medical center.
Objective: To determine whether body mass index (BMI) affects intrauterine insemination treatment success.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Academic medical center.
Background: Given the burgeoning demand for gender affirmation surgery, there are few studies examining both surgical process variables and patient outcome variables. Knowing the learning curve for surgical teams who are beginning to perform this procedure will be important for patient safety and presurgical patient counseling as more institutions open transgender surgical programs.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the demographics of patients pursuing penoscrotal vaginoplasty, to determine their postoperative course, and to determine a learning curve for the surgical team performing penoscrotal vaginoplasty.
Objective: To review the presentation of unicornuate uterus with a functional noncommunicating rudimentary uterine horn and a laparoscopic method of management, highlighting laparoscopic surgical techniques.
Design: A video review of unicornuate uterus with a functional noncommunicating rudimentary uterine horn and a laparoscopic approach to treatment in a 13-year-old pubertal female with severe menstrual pain.
Setting: Tertiary care facility.
Objective: To concisely review what is known about cornual ectopic pregnancies and to provide a step-by-step demonstration of the resection of a large cornual ectopic pregnancy, highlighting various laparoscopic techniques.
Design: A video review of cornual ectopic pregnancy and a laparoscopic approach for treatment featuring a patient case at 9 weeks gestation.
Setting: Tertiary care facility.
Aim: The current study examined the frequency of psychotropic prescriptions in a clinical sample of eating disorder (ED) patients confirming earlier research indicating their use is very common but inconsistent with evidence-based recommendations.
Methods: The sample consisted of 501 ED patients admitted to an adult partial hospitalization or adolescent residential program. Patients were divided into two diagnostic groups: anorexia nervosa (AN = 287) and bulimia nervosa (BN = 214), as well as two age groups: adults (age ≥18; N = 318) and adolescents (age <18; N = 183).
Background: Ovarian malignant mixed Mullerian tumors (MMMTs) are uncommon cancers. The purpose of the study was to determine the rate of metachronous or synchronous breast cancer as well as the rate of truncating germline BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 mutations in a series of women with these uncommon tumors.
Materials And Methods: Records were reviewed to identify all women with MMMTs treated by the gynecologic oncology service.
