Relationship Between Number of Oocytes Retrieved and Embryo Euploidy Rate in Controlled Ovarian Stimulation Cycles.

This cohort study is aimed to determine if higher number of oocytes retrieved affects the rate of euploidy in the embryos of women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) for in vitro fertilization (IVF) with preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A). A negative trend between the number of oocytes retrieved and embryo euploidy rate was observed using Visual Analytics software, especially when a higher number of oocytes were retrieved. After regression analysis, patient age was the only variable found to have a statistically significant negative effect (p < 0.

Safety assessment of compounded non-FDA-approved hormonal therapy versus FDA-approved hormonal therapy in treating postmenopausal women.

Objective: To assess the safety and serum estradiol (E2) and total testosterone (T) concentrations in postmenopausal women treated with Pellet Hormonal Therapy (PHT) and Food and Drug Administration approved Hormonal Therapy (FHT).

Methods: A total of 539 postmenopausal women were identified, including 384 on PHT and 155 on FHT. Data extracted from medical records include demographics, indication for hormone therapy, treatment duration, side effects, serum E2 and T levels, and frequency of laboratory follow-up.

CREOG In-Training Examination Results: Contemporary Use to Predict ABOG Written Examination Outcomes.

Background: The in-training examination (ITE) offers formative assessments of residents' developing medical knowledge. Identification of an ITE performance level associated with success on the specialty board examination allows identification of "at risk" residents.

Objective: This study sought to identify a threshold score for obstetrics and gynecology residents' performance on the Council on Resident Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology (CREOG) ITE that predicts successful performance on the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) written examination.
