Live Birth Following a Two-Way Transport In Vitro Fertilization Using a Portable Incubator: A Novel Protocol Executed During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Reprod Sci
June 2024
Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Rejuvenating Fertility Center, New York, NY, USA.
This case presents a live birth of a complete "two-way transport IVF" using a portable incubator during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing the patient to undergo both oocyte collection and embryo transfer in a satellite office located 30 miles, 2-h drive, away from the central IVF laboratory. A 30-year-old patient who lives on Long Island NY, with a history of unexplained infertility and previously failed intra-uterine inseminations (IUI), had a telehealth consultation for IVF. Because of the high prevalence of the COVID-19 virus in Manhattan-NYC where the central IVF laboratory is located, the patient was consented to undergo a two-way transport IVF.

Article Synopsis
- Malaria is still a major global health issue, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, where it saw a rise in deaths in 2020 due to COVID-19 disruptions, with Nigeria being the most affected country.
- In addition to malaria, there’s a worrying increase in Type 2 diabetes (T2D) among children and adolescents, particularly in Nigeria, which has the highest diabetes rate in Africa at 5.77%.
- Research points to an inflammation link between malaria and T2D, suggesting that malaria during pregnancy causes intra-uterine stress, potentially leading to low birth weight and a higher risk of developing T2D later in life due to chronic inflammation.
Late miscarriage and stillbirth in asymptomatic and symptomatic hospitalised pregnant women in Belgium during the first and second waves of COVID-19: a prospective nationwide population-based study.
BMC Pregnancy Childbirth
May 2023
Belgian Obstetrical Surveillance System, Ghent University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium.
Background: Stillbirth has been recognized as a possible complication of a SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy, probably due to destructive placental lesions (SARS-CoV-2 placentitis). The aim of this work is to analyse stillbirth and late miscarriage cases in unvaccinated pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 during the first two waves (wild-type period) in Belgium.
Methods: Stillbirths and late miscarriages in our prospective observational nationwide registry of SARS-CoV-2 infected pregnant women (n = 982) were classified by three authors using a modified WHO-UMC classification system for standardized case causality assessment.
Predictive factors for severe placental damage in pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Placenta

Department of Pathology, Hospices Civils de Lyon, Centre Hospitalier Lyon Sud, 165 chemin du Grand-Revoyet, 69310, Pierre-Bénite, France. Electronic address:
Introduction: SARS-Cov-2 infection during pregnancy can lead to severe placental lesions characterized by massive perivillous fibrin deposition, histiocytic intervillositis and trophoblast necrosis. Diffuse placental damage of this kind is rare, but can sometimes lead to obstetric complications, such as intrauterine fetal death (IUFD). The objectives of this study were to identify possible predictors of severe placental lesions.

Background: Women with complicated pregnancies often require hospital admission. Telemonitoring at home is a promising alternative that fulfils a worldwide need in obstetric health care. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the transformation to digital care.
