Aim: This study identifies psychological features and the evolution of psychiatric symptoms in a group of patients affected by obesity, who underwent adjustable gastric banding.

Materials And Methods: In this group, other than clinical visit, test SCL-90 is made in preoperative time. In postoperative SCL-90, TAS and BES were carried out. Patients evaluated before and after bariatric surgery were 220 and 115, respectively. SCL-90 test made before bariatric surgery showed high values (>0.7) for cluster related to somatization, interpersonal sensitivity, paranoid ideation, depression and obsessive compulsive disorder.

Discussion: Depression symptoms were more important in patients undergoing endogastric balloon placement (mean value of 0.9). Anxious symptoms showed a mean value of 0.73 in patients undergoing endogastric balloon placement as compared to a mean value of 0.52 in patients undergoing gastric banding.

Conclusions: Our findings show that in patients undergoing bariatric surgery, depressive symptoms are more common preoperatively and normalize at follow-up. This confirms that a possible cause of depression is obesity. The present study also shows that anxious symptoms are lower in obese patients.

Background: Endometriosis, a condition that significantly impacts the quality of life for affected women, manifests with a spectrum of symptoms ranging from mild discomfort to severe pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and infertility. A previous single-center study suggested an elevated prevalence of endometriosis in Jordan, prompting the need for larger studies to confirm these findings.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study involving a sample of 866 women who underwent various laparoscopic procedures for different indications at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Jordan University Hospital and Al-Karak Governmental Hospital, two tertiary referral hospitals in Jordan between January 2015 and March 2023.

Research Question: Is it possible to predict blastocyst quality, embryo chromosomal ploidy, and clinical pregnancy outcome after single embryo transfer from embryo developmental morphokinetic parameters?

Design: The morphokinetic parameters of 1011 blastocysts from 227 patients undergoing preimplantation genetic testing were examined. Correlations between the morphokinetic parameters and the quality of blastocysts, chromosomal ploidy, and clinical pregnancy outcomes following the transfer of single blastocysts were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: The morphokinetic parameters of embryos in the high-quality blastocyst group were significantly shorter than those in the low-quality blastocyst group (p < 0.
