Background: The total fertility rate is 2.1 children per women in Turkey. The population is expected to increase to 84 million by 2023. Maternal (19/100,000 live births), infant, and child mortality rates (20/100,000 live births) are still higher than desired levels in Turkey. We investigated factors affecting the choice of tubal sterilization (TS) after cesarean sections (CSs) and determined intraoperative and short-term postoperative maternal effects of this procedure.

Materials And Methods: We compared 1,849 CSs for demographic characteristics and clinical parameters including obstetric outcomes between two patient groups who underwent CSs with or without TS. Intraoperative and short-term postoperative maternal effects of TS in these patients were also evaluated.

Results: Twenty-one percent of women underwent both CSs and TS. A significantly higher ratio of TS was found in women with low education levels who had obstetric risk/systemic disease in their present pregnancy. Apart from a hemoglobin deficit and slightly higher duration of hospital stay, TS did not influence postoperative wound infection or heavy bleeding pattern that requires reoperation.

Conclusion: These findings conclude that in developing countries TS can safely be applicable as a contraceptive method without additional cost at time of CSs and should be considered as an option for those women who desire or would benefit from it.

Study Question: Does a human fallopian tube (HFT) organoid model offer a favourable apical environment for human sperm survival and motility?

Summary Answer: After differentiation, the apical compartment of a new HFT organoid model provides a favourable environment for sperm motility, which is better than commercial media.

What Is Known Already: HFTs are the site of major events that are crucial for achieving an ongoing pregnancy, such as gamete survival and competence, fertilization steps, and preimplantation embryo development. In order to better understand the tubal physiology and tubal factors involved in these reproductive functions, and to improve still suboptimal in vitro conditions for gamete preparation and embryo culture during IVF, we sought to develop an HFT organoid model from isolated adult stem cells to allow spermatozoa co-culture in the apical compartment.

Young adults' access to contraception is shifting after the June 2022 United States Supreme Court decision. This concurrent mixed-methods study measured young adults' use of and perceptions about tubal sterilization and vasectomy after the leaked opinion in May 2022. Using national-level medical claims data from IQVIA, we conducted difference-in-differences analyses of tubal sterilizations and vasectomies by age and state policy; using open-text survey responses from national MyVoice surveys in 2022 and 2023, we thematically analyzed young adults' perspectives.

Article Synopsis
  • There is an increasing interest in vasectomies following the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision, highlighting their safety and cost-effectiveness compared to tubal sterilization.
  • Health care providers from Title X-funded clinics were interviewed to understand the cultural, gender, and political influences on men's decisions to seek vasectomies.
  • Key barriers identified included income challenges, language barriers, medical distrust, and traditional gender roles, but many men expressed a strong desire to take responsibility for contraception and contribute to reproductive health equity.

Article Synopsis
  • Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) lesions are precursors to high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas, which have the highest mortality rates among gynecologic cancers, particularly affecting women with hereditary risk factors.
  • A 38-year-old woman of Nepalese descent was found to have a STIC lesion during an opportunistic salpingectomy performed for sterilization, highlighting the potential risks even in patients considered average risk for ovarian cancer.
  • While the SEE-FIM protocol, which is more sensitive for detecting STIC lesions, is typically not applied to average risk patients, implementing it could reduce missed diagnoses, although the costs and effort involved remain uncertain, especially among underrepresented populations.

Article Synopsis
  • Aiming to standardize care for Rh-D negative pregnant women, a panel of 23 experts developed guidelines focused on prevention and management of Rh isoimmunization and related conditions to improve perinatal outcomes.* -
  • Utilizing a modified Delphi method, the panel assessed 22 questions across eight key areas, including Rh-D testing, prenatal care, and treatment strategies for affected fetuses, reaching an 80% consensus on recommendations.* -
  • Key recommendations include encouraging preconception consultations for Rh-D negative women, determining maternal Rh-D status during initial healthcare visits, and ascertaining the father's Rh-D status early in prenatal care.*
