Fertility preservation services must offer information to patients, prior to their visit, so that they have time to read and digest the information, and also have the opportunity to write down any questions they wish to ask at the oncofertility consultation appointment. Appointments must be offered immediately, based on a specifically designed referral form. Each fertility service providing oncology cryopreservation should have a robust map of the patient's journey to include referral, counseling session, medical consultation, informed consent, treatment plan, and follow-up.

Introduction: The use of technology in direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA) is expanding. Although the use of computer-navigation (CN-THA) and robotics (RA-THA) has previously demonstrated improved component positioning, it is important to understand whether its use is associated with differences in intraoperative complications or early return to the operating room when compared to fluoroscopy-only (manual-THA) DAA THA.
Methods: 3433 DAA THAs (226 RA-THA, 1007 CN-THA, 2200 manual-THA) performed at a single institution were retrospectively reviewed.

Introduction: The coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected healthcare services, potentially leading to inequitable outcomes based on patients' socioeconomic status (SES). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) outcomes by examining disparities across SES levels.
Methods: The study analyzed non-traumatic OHCA cases registered in the Korean Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Registry from 2010 to 2021, encompassing 238,668 patients aged 18 years and older.

People generally wish to return home after being evacuated due to disaster situations. Evacuation orders have now been lifted in the Fukushima region following the nuclear accident in 2011, and the Japanese government is promoting a return policy. However, many residents who wish to return home remain unable to and continue living in evacuation sites or other areas.

Aims/hypothesis: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects 14% of all pregnancies worldwide and is associated with cardiometabolic risk. We aimed to exploit high-resolution wearable device time-series data to create a fine-grained physiological characterisation of the postpartum GDM state in free-living conditions, including clinical variables, daily glucose dynamics, food and drink consumption, physical activity, sleep patterns and heart rate.
Methods: In a prospective observational study, we employed continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), a smartphone food diary, triaxial accelerometers and heart rate and heart rate variability monitors over a 2 week period to compare women who had GDM in the previous pregnancy (GDM group) and women who had a pregnancy with normal glucose metabolism (non-GDM group) at 1-2 months after delivery (baseline) and 6 months later (follow-up).
