With the increasing use of MRI in clinical practice, the need for MRI-guided intervention is also increasing. Indeterminate lesions identified on MRI without mammographic or sonographic correlates will need to be approached under MRI guidance. MRI-guided biopsy is a skill that can be acquired with proper training and guidance. These procedures have their own set of challenges and issues; some of them are specific to the patient habitus in this region. Adequate knowledge and understanding of the challenges can help the radiologist to be better equipped to face these issues and solve them promptly during the procedure, thus increasing the overall success rate of the procedure. Not much local data from Asian countries is available on this front. This paper aims to share common challenges one may face while performing MRI-guided biopsy and share some tips and tricks to address these problems. Hopefully, this will help the readers achieve a higher success rate for MRI-guided interventions in their clinical practice.

Background: Processing data from electronic health records (EHRs) to build research-grade databases is a lengthy and expensive process. Modern arthroplasty practice commonly uses multiple sites of care, including clinics and ambulatory care centers. However, most private data systems prevent obtaining usable insights for clinical practice.

One of the major advancements in fertilization (IVF) has been the development of culture media that enhance gamete maturation and sustain embryo development up to the blastocyst stage. The deep understanding of the mechanisms involved in gametogenesis and the complex sequence of events surrounding nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation has also enabled the development of efficient maturation (IVM) protocols. This review outlines the major landmarks in the history of maturation of oocytes, the advantages and importance of its clinical application in human, especially in patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Resistant Ovary Syndrome, high antral follicle count or oncology patients, as well as the safety and efficacy of the technique.
