Purpose: This study is to evaluate duration of oocyte cryostorage and association with thaw survival, fertilization, blastulation, ploidy rates, and pregnancy outcomes in patients seeking fertility preservation.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study to evaluate clinical outcomes in patients who underwent fertility preservation from 2011 to 2023 via oocyte vitrification for non-oncologic indications. Primary outcome was thaw survival rate.

Study Question: What is the natural history of elective autologous sperm cryostorage prior to gonadotoxic treatment?
Summary Answer: We estimate large sample median times to transfer for use, to the man's death or to discard of sperm, and their determinants, as the key operational outcomes of sperm cryostorage.
What Is Known Already: No large sample studies of the natural history of sperm cryostorage prior to gonadotoxic treatment are reported.
Study Design, Size, Duration: This observational single-centre study covered 45 years of outcomes with a survival analysis for sperm cryostorage prior to scheduled gonadotoxic treatment, and its determinants.

Study Question: What is the prevalence of occupational stress, somatization, and burnout reported by UK and US, embryologists and the impact of work conditions on these well-being outcomes?
Summary Answer: Surveyed UK and US embryologists reported moderate perceived stress, low somatic symptom severity, high levels of burnout, and overall stressful work conditions, but with differences that could be due to country-specific occupational and employment characteristics.
What Is Known Already?: Spanish, UK, US, and international surveys have identified high levels of occupational stress, somatization, burnout, and occupational health issues among embryologists. These issues have been attributed to embryologists' occupational challenges and work conditions.

Background: Acorus calamus Linn. is a medicinally valuable monocot plant belonging to the family Acoraceae. Over-exploitation and unscientific approach towards harvesting to fulfill an ever-increasing demand have placed it in the endangered list of species.

Background: Recently, the potential detrimental effect that the duration of storage time may have on vitrified samples has raised some concerns, especially when some studies found an association between cryostorage length and decreased clinical results.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the storage time length of day-5 vitrified blastocysts in 2 study groups: freeze-all cycles and nonelective frozen embryo transfers.
Study Design: This was a retrospective study that included 58,001 vitrified/warmed day-5 blastocysts from 2 different populations, according to the reason for frozen embryo transfer.
