Aims/background: Routine third-trimester ultrasonography is increasingly conducted to screen for foetal growth restriction (FGR) and reduce adverse perinatal and child neurodevelopmental outcomes using timely obstetric management. While it did not reduce adverse perinatal outcomes in previous trials, evidence regarding its association with child neurodevelopmental outcome is absent. We examined whether routine third-trimester ultrasonography is positively associated with child developmental and behavioural/emotional outcomes compared to usual care.

- The rising incidence of strokes has led to a greater need for rehabilitation services, with studies indicating that early and intensive rehabilitation is crucial for recovery.
- Robot-assisted technologies, especially when combined with electrical stimulation (ES), have shown promise in increasing therapy session frequency and enhancing muscle activation for lower extremity rehabilitation in stroke patients.
- A review of 26 peer-reviewed articles found that combining robot-assisted technology with ES generally improved patient outcomes, but variability in study designs highlights the need for more standardized research methods and patient engagement in future studies.
Abstract: Studies evaluating pregnancy outcomes after assisted reproductive treatment (ART) in women with high-normal (2.5-4.5 mIU/L) thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels are conflicting, possibly due to different patient charactistics and subfertility indications.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the fertility outcome in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)-treated women across normal range thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels. Published results are inconclusive about optimal TSH levels and fertility.
Design: This is a retrospective cohort study in 752 ICSI-treated women with predominantly severe male factor subfertility, starting treatment between the first of January 2008 and the first of March 2012 with a follow-up until 2014.
