Background: Accumulating evidence indicates that pregnancies after artificial cycle frozen embryo transfer are associated with an increased risk of preeclampsia. Uterine artery Doppler, along with maternal factors and serum biomarkers, is a crucial biomarker for first-trimester preeclampsia screening, aiding in identifying "high-risk" patients. Guidelines strongly recommend administering aspirin (150 mg/d) in these women, owing to robust evidence demonstrating a 62% reduction in the incidence of preeclampsia.

Article Synopsis
  • - High ovarian response to stimulation is identified by having more than 18-20 follicles or oocytes, indicating a risk for complications like ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome (OHSS).
  • - Diagnosis of high response can occur before or after oocyte retrieval, and is influenced by ovarian reserve markers like AMH and AFC, especially in women with PCOS.
  • - Effective management strategies involve personalized treatment plans based on monitoring, which can help reduce the risk of OHSS for those identified as high responders.

Since the publication of the first edition of the WHO (World Health Organization) Laboratory Manual for the examination of Human Semen in 1980, the reference values of sperm parameters have been updated on four occasions. Currently and globally, most of the laboratories analyzing semen samples use the latest, 5th edition of the manual that recommends ejaculatory abstinence from two to seven days before producing the sample for examination. While this standardized interval of time facilitates the interpretation of the results and research, no solid evidence exists to support the WHO-recommended abstinence time for a semen analysis in order to optimize clinical outcomes after assisted reproduction.

Background Video-recordings of consultations are used by general practitioner (GP) trainees to enable reflection on aspects of knowledge, skills and attitudes. Typically, these recordings are made during office hours in general practice, but little is known about using video-recording during out of hours (OOH) care, which is an important and distinct part of a GP's work. To be able to record consultations during OOH care (i.
