Objective: To evaluate endocrine characteristics and clinical outcomes in normal ovulatory patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) with the use of a Duphaston and hMG protocol during in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatments in combination with frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) compared with the characteristics and outcomes of patients undergoing an Utrogestan and hMG protocol.
Design: Prospective controlled study.
Setting: Tertiary care academic medical center.
Patient(s): A total of 250 infertile patients undergoing IVF/ICSI treatments.
Intervention(s): Duphaston (20 mg/d) or Utrogestan (100 mg/d) was taken orally from cycle day 3 until the trigger day, with hMG (150-225 IU) administered when appropriate. When the dominant follicles reached maturity, 0.1 mg GnRH agonist was used as the trigger. Viable embryos were cryopreserved in both protocols for transfer at a later time.
Main Outcome Measure(s): The primary outcome was the number of oocytes retrieved. Secondary outcomes included the incidence of premature LH surge, the number of viable embryos, and clinical pregnancy outcomes from FET cycles.
Result(s): Consistent LH suppression was achieved during COH. None of the participants experienced a premature LH surge. The number of oocytes retrieved (8.22 ± 5.46 vs. 8.8 ± 5.62) was similar between the two groups. No between-group significant differences were observed in the number of mature oocytes (7.2 ± 4.72 vs. 6.98 ± 4.68), fertilized oocytes (6.16 ± 4.34 vs. 6.32 ± 4.23), and viable embryos (2.96 ± 2.22 vs. 3.4 ± 2.54). Furthermore, the clinical pregnancy rates (53.04% vs. 51.7%), early miscarriage rates (8.2% vs. 11.84%), implantation rates (38.68% vs. 35.71%), and cumulative pregnancy rates per woman (66.67% vs. 69.47%) were also similar.
Conclusion(s): Duphaston administration during COH was similar to Utrogestan in the prevention of LH surge, embryonic characteristics, and pregnancy outcomes.
Clinical Trial Registration Number: ChiCTR-IOR-15007265.

Health Expenditures of Patients With Diabetes After Bariatric Surgery: Comparing Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Department of Research and Evaluation, Kaiser Permanente Southern California, Pasadena, California (A.B., K.J.C., A.A.K.).
Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) differ in their effects on body weight and risk for reoperation. However, it is unclear whether long-term health expenditures differ by procedure type in patients with diabetes.
Objective: To compare health expenditures 3 years before and 5.
Chondrosarcomas are the second most common primary bone sarcoma. Due to chondrosarcomas relative resistance to chemotherapy and radiation, surgical treatment has become the mainstay treatment option. The purpose of our study was to understand the proportion of patients in this population who undergo non-operative treatment options secondary to various reasons and analyze the difference in survival as well as patient and cancer specific characteristics between the two groups.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of CFR-PEEK nails in patients with metastatic bone disease (MBD). We performed a retrospective cohort study evaluating patients with MBD undergoing intramedullary (IM) nailing for prophylaxis or fixation of pathological fractures using CFR- PEEK or titanium implants.

The aim of this study is to develop a Dutch translation of the Hospital for Special Surgery Expectations Survey using a standardized translation procedure, to use both in clinical practice and in scientific research. Translation is performed on the basis of a forward - backward translation.

Recently, proximal fibular osteotomy (PFO) has emerged as a less invasive and more cost-effective alternative. This study compares the outcomes of HTO and PFO to evaluate whether PFO can deliver results comparable to HTO in similar patient populations.
