Background: The Italian Medically Assisted Reproduction (MAR) Register (ItMARR) was established by the Decree of the Minister of Health issued on October 7, 2005. ItMARR has a crucial role in clearly and publicly disseminating epidemiological information on the MAR activities and outcomes.
Methods: ItMARR data is collected in aggregate form and is mandatory as set out in Law 40/2004. The aim of this article is to make a snapshot of the authorized centers that perform IUI and ART in Italy. Data used in this article refer to MAR treatments started between January 1 and December 31, 2020.
Results: MAR techniques were performed by 332 centers. In total, 67,927 ART cycles and 12,171 IUI cycles were performed in 2020. Gametes donation cycles represent 12.9% of ART activity and 4.0% of IUI. ART cycles performed per million women of childbearing age was 6525. In 2020, 2.5% of births in the general population in Italy were a result of application of ART techniques. MAR activity in 2020, has been heavily reduced by the limitations to reproductive treatment due to SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Pregnancy rates per transfers were 26.7% with fresh techniques, 32.6% with FER, 25.7% with FO, 38.0% with OD and 39.1% with SD. There were fewer multiple deliveries than the previous year.
Conclusions: The ItMARR, has become a great asset in the reproductive health scenario promoting a better MAR information dissemination. ItMARR is working on the implementation towards a "cycle-by-cycle" data collection system. This will bring the Italian monitoring system in line with others European countries.

Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a serious parasitic infectious disease that is highly invasive and destructive to the liver and has a high mortality rate. However, currently, there is no effective targeted imaging and treatment method for the precise detection and therapy of AE. We proposed a new two-step targeting strategy (TSTS) for AE based on poly(lactic--glycolic acid) (PLGA).

Little Steps Association for Children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Becker Muscular Dystrophy, Kefar Saba, Israel.
For individuals with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD and BMD, respectively), transitioning to adulthood presents significant challenges. Although considerable attention has been given to facilitating medical transitions due to the complexity of these conditions, less focus has been placed on other aspects of the transition, such as achieving independence. This study assessed the transition needs of people with DMD or BMD, exploring various domains including health, education, employment, living arrangements, transportation, daily activities, and independent personal life.

Background: The French guidelines have recommended a restrictive policy of episiotomy since 2005. We aimed to assess variations in the prevalence of both episiotomy and obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI) from the 2010, 2016, and 2021 National Perinatal Surveys.
Methods And Findings: A total of 29,750 women who had given birth to a live infant by vaginal delivery were included.
"The Environment Fostered True Growth": Harnessing Coaching on an Innovative Medicine Sub-internship.
J Gen Intern Med
January 2025
Department of Medicine, Division of General Internal Medicine, Section of Hospital Medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, New York, NY, USA.
Background: Medicine sub-internships aim to prepare students for residency. However, the traditional sub-internship structure, with multiple learners at varied levels, poses obstacles to providing the clinical exposure, learning environment, and direct observation and feedback necessary to develop essential skills.
Aim: Investigate the educational experience of learners on a coaching-centered sub-internship (CCSI) on a resident uncovered ward service.

Department of Otolaryngology, Robert Debre Hospital, Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Paris (APHP) and Paris University, 48, Boulevard Sérurier, 75019, Paris, France.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify factors predicting postoperative ICU admission, the need for orotracheal intubation (OTI), and the occurrence of supraglottic stenosis in children undergoing supraglottoplasty for laryngomalacia.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 31 children (Dear Reviewer, we would have greatly preferred to include a larger sample size. However, as you know, this type of management is rare, and we deliberately selected a 7-year period to ensure a minimum of 30 children while avoiding significant differences in management guidelines over time.
