Congenital uterine anomalies have been proven to be associated with impaired reproductive performance. The 2013 ESHRE-ESGE classification of female genital tract malformations defines T shaped and infantalis uterus as dysmorphic uterus. Our aim was to examine whether the reproductive performance of patients with primary congenital dysmorphic uterus can be improved using hysteroscopic metroplasty. A retrospective cohort study of 35 patients suffering from 1 year of failed attempts to conceive, recurrent early pregnancy losses, or repeated implantation failures of in vitro fertilization cycles who were diagnosed with a dysmorphic uterus in both a diagnostic hysteroscopy procedure and three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (3D-TVS). All patients had undergone an operative hysteroscopic procedure for uterine anomaly repair and their reproductive performance is described before and after the procedure, so that the women acted as their own control. Within 3 years of the procedure, a total of 25 patients (71.4%) reported that they had achieved a pregnancy. A total of 15% of patients only conceived for the first time after the procedure, 15 patients (42.9%) conceived within 6 months and 18 (51.4%) within 1 year. A total of 12 of the 25 pregnant patients (48%) gave birth to a live newborn. We conclude that in non-DES exposed patients with impaired reproductive performance and congenital dysmorphic uterus, hysteroscopic metroplasty for uterine repair could serve as a treatment option for recurrent implantation failure, and may lead to improved reproductive performance and obstetric outcome.

Objective: To assess clinical and obstetric characteristics associated with pregnant patients with a diagnosis of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Methods: This serial cross-sectional study queried the Agency of Healthcare Research and Quality's Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project National Inpatient Sample. The study population was 16,759,786 hospital deliveries from 2016 to 2020.

Background: Unwarranted clinical variation presents a major challenge in contemporary healthcare, indicating potential inequalities and inefficiencies, and unrealised potential for better outcomes. Despite an increasing focus on unwarranted clinical variation, and consideration of efforts to address this challenge, evidence-based strategies which achieve this are limited. Audit and feedback of healthcare processes (process auditing) and clinician engagement are important tools which may help to reduce unwarranted clinical variation, however their application in maternity care is yet to be thoroughly explored.

Background: During mammalian spermatogenesis, the cytoskeleton system plays a significant role in morphological changes. Male infertility such as non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) might be explained by studies of the cytoskeletal system during spermatogenesis.
Methods: The cytoskeleton, scaffold, and actin-binding genes were analyzed by microarray and bioinformatics (771 spermatogenic cellsgenes and 774 Sertoli cell genes).

Background: Gestational exposure to non-persistent endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may be associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. While many EDCs affect the endocrine system, their effects on endocrine-related metabolic pathways remain unclear. This study aims to explore the global metabolome changes associated with EDC biomarkers at delivery.

Metabolic rewiring underlies effective macrophages defense to respond disease microenvironment. However, the underlying mechanisms driving metabolic rewiring to enhance macrophage effector functions remain unclear. Here, we demonstrated that the metabolic reprogramming in inflammatory macrophages depended on the acetylation of CLYBL, a citramalyl-CoA lyase, at lysine 154 (K154), and blocking CLYBL-K154 acetylation restricted the release of pro-inflammatory factors.
