Purpose: To identify markers of previous ovarian torsion and outline the outcomes according to US appearance and operative management.
Methods: A retrospective single-centre review of neonatal ovarian cysts from January 2000 to January 2020. Data on postnatal cyst size and sonographic features and operative treatment were co-related with outcomes of ovarian loss and histology.
Results: 77 females were included with 22 simple and 56 complex cysts, one patient had bilateral cysts. 9/22 (41%) simple cysts regressed spontaneously in a median of 13 weeks (8-17). Complex cysts regressed spontaneously less frequently, 7/56(12%, P = 0.01), in 13 weeks (7-39). 38/56 (68%) complex and 12/22 (55%) simple cysts were treated operatively. 21/22 (95%) ovaries with initially simple cyst were salvaged compared to 20/56(36%) with initially complex cyst (P < 0.001). A fluid-debris level in 23/26 complex cysts was most associated with ovarian loss (P = 0.0006). Presence of viable ovarian stromal tissue was seen in 8/20 (40%) excised specimens during ovarian sparing procedures and in 5/30 (17%) oophorectomies for necrotic appearing ovaries.
Conclusions: Fluid-debris level on US is significantly associated with ovarian loss likely due to previous torsion. Simple cysts are viable and often regress spontaneously. The finding of viable ovarian stromal tissue in resected specimens supports attempting ovarian preservation wherever possible.

Study Question: Is there an association between dydrogesterone exposure during early pregnancy and the reporting of birth defects?
Summary Answer: This observational analysis based on global safety data showed an increased reporting of birth defects, mainly hypospadias and congenital heart defects (CHD), in pregnancies exposed to dydrogesterone, especially when comparing to progesterone.
What Is Known Already: Intravaginal administration of progesterone is the standard of care to overcome luteal phase progesterone deficiency induced by ovarian stimulation in ART. In recent years, randomized controlled clinical trials demonstrated that oral dydrogesterone was non-inferior for pregnancy rate at 12 weeks of gestation and could be an alternative to micronized vaginal progesterone.

Karyotype and phenotype association in Turner syndrome with non-mosaic X chromosome structural rearrangements: Systematic review.

Article Synopsis
- Turner syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the deletion of one X chromosome, leading to diverse karyotypes and phenotypes, but predicting phenotypes remains challenging due to mosaicism.
- A study included 487 Turner women with non-mosaic X chromosome structural rearrangements and found prevalence rates of short stature (72.4%) and ovarian dysfunction (78.8%) linked to specific deletion groups.
- Understanding the specific X chromosome breakpoints is crucial for managing Turner syndrome, particularly for predicting and addressing ovarian dysfunction and future fertility issues.
