Objective: The aim of this retrospective analysis was to explore whether an elevated ALT level before pregnancy is associated with a reduction in live birth rate after IVF-FET.
Design: Retrospective observational study.
Setting: Shiyan People's Hospital, China between January 2019 and December 2019.
Patients: Women aged ≤ 40 years.
Intervention(s): Freeze-thawed embryo transfer (FET).
Main Outcome Measure(s): The live birth rate, which was defined as the delivery of a live baby after 24 weeks of gestation.
Results: The analysis included 365 FET cycles. There was a significant difference between groups in the live birth rate ( < .05), which was highest for the low ALT tertile and lowest for the high ALT tertile. Multiple regression analysis with adjustment for multiple potential confounders revealed that the odds of live birth were decreased for each one standard deviation increase in ALT (OR = 0.56, 95%CI = 0.42-0.75, < .0001) and lower for the high ALT tertile than for the low ALT tertile (OR = 0.38, 95%CI = 0.19-0.75, = .0055). Smooth curve fitting showed an inverse relationship between ALT and live birth rate.
Conclusion: Our findings indicate that relatively small elevations in baseline serum ALT level can have a clinically relevant impact on the success of FET.

Infertility has emerged as a significant global health concern. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) assists numerous infertile couples in conceiving, yet some experience repeated, unsuccessful cycles. This study aims to identify the pivotal clinical factors influencing the success of fresh embryo transfer of in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Prenatal gene editing for neurodevelopmental diseases: Ethical considerations.

Neurodevelopmental diseases (NDDs) are notoriously difficult to treat because clinical symptoms stem from developmental processes that begin before birth. Prenatal gene editing could fill the treatment gap for NDDs by targeting and permanently correcting the genetic variants that underlie these pathogenic developmental processes. At the same time, there is a risk of unintended edits to the fetus or the pregnant person that could result in serious adverse consequences that are difficult, if not impossible, to undo.

Neonatal expertise and technologies have been perfected over the last decades, improving preterm infants' survival rates and allowing a gradual reduction in the gestational age limits of fetal viability. Using the concept of viability as a starting point, we analyze decision-making processes regarding extremely preterm newborns at the limits of viability. Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in a public hospital in Barcelona between March and November 2023, we examine the knowledge forms, rationalities and values that healthcare workers employ when guiding families in decisions about infants' viability.

We investigated if Brazilian Olympic athletes live longer than the general population, and if there are differences between the types of sport. This is a retrospective cohort study with secondary data analysis. Data from Brazilian athletes of both sexes were included, from the 7th edition (1920) to the 25th edition (1992) of the Modern Olympic Games.
