Study Question: Does luteal estradiol (E2) pretreatment give a similar number of retrieved oocytes compared to no-pretreatment in advanced-aged women stimulated with corifollitropin alfa in an antagonist protocol?
Summary Answer: Programming antagonist cycles with luteal E2 gave similar number of retrieved oocytes compared to no-pretreatment in women aged 38-42 years.
What Is Known Already: Programming antagonist cycles with luteal E2 pretreatment is a valuable tool to organize the IVF procedure better and is safe without any known impact on cycle outcome. However, variable effects were observed on the number of retrieved oocytes depending on the treated population.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of assisted reproductive technology (ART) using donor sperm on sexual function in heterosexual couples dealing with infertility, noting a potential connection between infertility and sexual dysfunction.
- Findings reveal that 39.3% of women and 26.5% of men in the study experienced sexual dysfunction, although no significant differences were found between those with and without sexual dysfunction.
- The study highlights the need for further research, particularly on psychological interventions, as no specific predictors of sexual dysfunction could be identified in the small sample size.
Triage practices in stroke units: Physicians' perceptions and ethical issues.
Rev Neurol (Paris)
February 2016
Objective: We aimed to explore acute stroke admission decisions and to discuss ethical issues in triage practices in stroke units (SUs) in France.
Methods: In this study, 337 questionnaires were sent to physicians involved in acute admission to SUs in Île-de-France (neurologists and physicians from emergency medical services). The questionnaires comprised questions about physicians' perceptions of the reasonable allocation of SU beds and admission criteria for patients in SU in clinical vignettes illustrating complex situations.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of a traditional stethoscope versus an electronically amplified one (expected to reduce background and ambient noise) to assess heart and respiratory sounds during medical transport.
Materials And Methods: It was a prospective, double-blinded, randomized performed study. One traditional stethoscope (Littmann Cardiology III; 3M, St Paul, MN) and 1 electronically amplified stethoscope (Littmann 3200, 3M) were used for our tests.
