Purpose: This study is to assess whether transient intrauterine fluid accumulation (IUFA) first noted during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation that does not persist on the day of embryo transfer not due to any identifiable pelvic pathology has any detrimental effect on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome.
Methods: From a database of 16,900 cycles, 144 patients with transient "physiological" IUFA were recruited. Four hundred fifty-one consecutive patients who had male factor infertility served as the control group. The amount of IUFA classified as largest dimension in the antero-posterior (AP) plane; ≤2, 3-5 or >5 mm.
Results: The mean female age, the mean number of embryos transferred and endometrial thickness on the day of hCG administration were comparable among the study and control groups. Similarly, clinical pregnancy, ongoing pregnancy and implantation rates were comparable among the study and control groups. Female age was noted to be the only significant independent predictor of ongoing pregnancy. The AP dimension of IUFA did not have any impact on pregnancy and implantation rates.
Conclusions: Transient IUFA not due to hydrosalpinx or any identifiable pelvic pathology has no detrimental effect on IVF pregnancy rates. Hence, cycle cancellation should be avoided in such cycles.

Characterization of risk factors for early ambulation in paraplegic dogs with absent pain perception undergoing decompressive surgery for thoracolumbar intervertebral disk extrusions.

Background: Current literature warrants surgical decompression in paraplegic dogs with absent pain perception (APP), but the rate of ambulatory dogs with APP following thoracolumbar (TL) IVDE surgery in a clinical setting remains unknown. Furthermore, the outcome of paraplegic APP French Bulldogs (FBs) is anecdotally considered poor. The aims of this study were threefold within a large population of TL-IVDE paraplegic dogs with APP undergoing decompressive surgery: (1) to characterize early spontaneous pelvic limb movement and ambulation following surgery; (2) to identify risk factors for the recovery of ambulation; and (3) to compare the outcome of FBs and Dachshunds presenting with APP.

Often asymptomatic, it may lead to complications such as abnormal bleeding, chronic pelvic pain, secondary infertility, or uterine rupture during subsequent pregnancies. Objective This study aimed to assess the prevalence, clinical features, and associated risk factors of uterine isthmocele among women with previous cesarean scars over four years (2019-2023) at Rabia Balkhi Hospital, Afghanistan.

Objective: is usually found in urogenital tract infections and is associated with several extra-genitourinary infections, including septic arthritis, bacteremia, and meningitis. Here, we report a rare case of induced bloodstream infection with thoracic inflammation in a surgical patient.
Methods: A 56-year-old male who underwent surgery for multiple pelvic and rib fractures developed fever, pleural effusion, and wound exudation despite receiving prophylactic anti-infection treatment with cefotiam.

Background: Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a significant complication of rectal cancer surgery, particularly in patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. This study aimed to evaluate the onset and prognostic factors influencing AL in these patients and provide insights for better postoperative management.
Aim: To explore AL incidence in patients who underwent neoadjuvant radiotherapy for rectal cancer and evaluate influencing factors and prognosis.

Introduction: While adverse events related to physiotherapy are possible, the type of adverse event and the area of physiotherapy practice in which they occur are not well understood. The purpose of this scoping review was to establish adverse events related to physiotherapy practice and understand the nature of these events and the circumstances in which they occurred.
Methods: Relevant literature from January 2014 to February 2024 was gathered from five electronic databases.
