AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how often women eat meals, particularly breakfast, affects their success with assisted reproductive technology (ART) when dealing with infertility.
- Conducted at Tokyo Medical University over two years, it included 101 patients who provided data on their meal habits, lifestyle, and medical history.
- Results indicated that women who ate breakfast 6-7 times a week had higher rates of live births and lower miscarriage rates after ART, emphasizing the significance of regular breakfast for improving ART outcomes.
Article Abstract
Objective: To assess the relationship between meal consumption frequency and assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes among female patients with infertility.
Research Methods & Procedures: This cohort study was conducted from February 2022 to January 2024 at Tokyo Medical University Hospital. Overall, 101 female patients with infertility issues and without a history of stroke, heart disease, cancer, or type 1 or type 2 diabetes were enrolled in this study. The factors extracted from the questionnaire included demographic information, meal consumption frequency before ART and at 20 years of age, smoking status, and alcohol consumption status. Data on other factors, including age, body mass index, anti-Müllerian hormone level, and parity history, were collected from medical records. The assessed clinical outcomes included number of transplanted embryos, clinical pregnancies, ongoing pregnancies, live births, and miscarriages.
Results: After adjusting for potential confounding factors, including age, smoking status, alcohol consumption status, body mass index, anti-Müllerian hormone level, and parity history, a multivariate analysis of ART outcomes was performed. Patients were categorized into groups based on the frequency of weekly consumption of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Patients who consumed breakfast 6-7 times a week were significantly more likely to have higher rates of live birth and lower rates of miscarriage in pregnancies conceived through ART.
Conclusions: Consumption of breakfast 6-7 times a week before ART was associated with increased success rates following ART. This highlights the potential importance of regular breakfast consumption for optimizing ART outcomes.

Purpose: To compare risks of neonatal anomalies and obstetric complications among frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET), fresh embryo transfer (FreshET), and non-assisted reproductive technology (non-ART) treatments in infertile women.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed 7378 singleton births (2643 non-ART, 4219 FET, 516 FreshET) from 2013 to 2022. Outcomes were compared using inverse probability weighting regression adjustment, with adjustment for maternal factors.

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a ubiquitous medical diagnostic tool employed to localize myocardial infarction (MI) that is characterized by abnormal waveform patterns on the ECG. MI is a serious cardiovascular disease, and accurate, timely diagnosis is crucial for preventing severe outcomes. Current ECG analysis methods mainly rely on intra- and inter-lead feature extraction, but most models overlook the medical knowledge relevant to disease diagnosis.

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends antiretroviral therapy (ART) containing two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) as backbone. WHO recommends tenofovir disoproxil fumarate combined with lamivudine or emtricitabine as first line in pregnancy, and zidovudine, abacavir or tenofovir alafenamide, combined with lamivudine or emtricitabine, as alternatives.
Objectives: Evaluate risk of adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnant women living with HIV (WLHIV) receiving different NRTIs.
