Cross-border reproductive healthcare attitudes and behaviours among women living in Florence, Italy.

Background: The number of women living in Italy and seeking cross-border reproductive care (CBRC), especially for medically assisted reproduction (MAR), has increased. The purpose of this study was to explore CBRC attitudes and behaviours among a cohort of reproductive-aged women who have never engaged in CBRC to gauge social and cultural perceptions and gain a deeper understanding of family planning discourse.

Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted during May - June 2018 with 30 women aged 18-50 living in or around Florence, Italy and enrolled in the Italian healthcare system.

Puberty in the Last 25 Years: A Retrospective Bibliometric Analysis.

Puberty research has been highly productive in the past few decades and is gaining momentum. We conducted an analysis of bibliographic data, including titles, abstracts, keywords, indexing terms, and citation data to assess the sheer numbers, audience and reach, publication types, and impact of puberty-related publications. Findings suggest that puberty-related publications are increasing in sheer numbers, and have reach in many fields as befits an interdisciplinary science.
