Purpose: To determine the level of uptake of telemedicine among postgraduate obstetrics and gynaecology (O&G) trainees in London, and how they perceive its impact on their training.
Methods: A mixed-methods survey aimed at exploring trainee perspectives of telemedicine use in clinical practice and its implications for training. Study participants were O&G specialist doctors on the London (UK) training programme.
To understand whether there was an association between very young oocyte donors and adverse outcomes, this was a single centre retrospective study (Lister Fertility Clinic, London) examining data collected between 1st January 2010 and 31st December 2021. A total of 1,182 oocyte donors were included in the final analysis. Data was categorised by donor age in years; ≤22, 23-25, 26-28, 29-31, 32-34.

- Understanding the risks of fertility treatments (FTs) is crucial for making informed clinical decisions and providing patient counseling regarding women's health issues, particularly cancer.
- This study aimed to analyze the relationship between FTs and the incidence of specific female-related cancers such as ovarian, endometrial, breast, and cervical cancers, using systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
- Results indicated a significant increase in ovarian cancer and borderline ovarian tumors among women undergoing FTs compared to those not treated, especially with certain fertility drug regimens like clomiphene citrate and human menopausal gonadotropin.
Background/objectives: Serous ovarian carcinoma (SOC) is the most common subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer, with high-grade (HGSOC) and low-grade (LGSOC) subtypes presenting distinct clinical behaviours. This study aimed to evaluate histopathologic features in SOC, correlating these with prognostic outcomes, and explore the potential clinical implications.
Methods: We analysed 51 SOC cases for lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), tumour border configuration (TBC), microvessel density (MVD), tumour budding (TB), the tumour-stroma ratio (TSR), the stromal type, tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), and tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs).
Article Synopsis
- A 40-year-old woman with multiple pregnancies had a positive pregnancy test along with vaginal bleeding and shortness of breath, 8 weeks after her last period.
- Initial tests showed a high hCG level but an ultrasound indicated a pregnancy of unknown location.
- After a week, she was found to have a complete hydatidiform mole, leading to surgery that successfully resolved her symptoms and allowed for follow-up care.
