Abstract Background Transgender men are a marginalized population with unique health care needs. However, their usage of health services is low because of considerable discrimination. A major factor in their avoidance is patient-provider interactions. Methods This cross-sectional study included 102 transgender men who anonymously completed a 55-ite...
Research question
What are the fertility preservation (FP) rates of transgender women and transgender men, and which factors affect their decision making?
Design
This prospective study included 97 transgender women and 91 transgender men referred to the Gender Clinic of our medical center's Endocrinology Institute and to the Gan Meir Community Hea...
Objective:
To determine whether severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is present in the vaginal secretions of both reproductive-aged and postmenopausal women during acute SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Design:
Prospective study.
Setting:
A single tertiary, university-affiliated medical centre in Israel. Time period, 1 June 2020 t...
Objective
Our objective was to evaluate the effects of time and temperature on umbilical-cord blood analysis.
Methods
This prospective study included the term spontaneous vaginal deliveries. One venous and seven arterial samples were drawn from each umbilical cord within 5 min from delivery. Three samples were immediately refrigerated (3 °C), whil...
Study Objective
To assess the effect of carbon dioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg position on patients’ cardiac function and hemodynamics during minimally invasive staging surgery for endometrial cancer.
Design
Single-center prospective longitudinal study.
Setting
University-affiliated tertiary hospital.
Patients

Study question:
What is the association between the ovarian response and the number of CGG repeats among full mutation and premutation carriers of fragile X (FMR1), undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) for PGD?
Summary answer:
Ovarian response was normal in full mutation patients but decreased in premutation carriers, although th...
PurposeSterilization via bilateral total salpingectomy is slowly replacing partial salpingectomy, as it is believed to decrease the incidence of ovarian cancer. Our objective was to compare short-term intra and post-operative complication rates of bilateral total salpingectomy versus partial salpingectomy performed during the course of a cesarean d...

... Fertility preservation rates are higher among transgender women, compared to transgender men (Alpern et al., 2022). Concerns regarding the fertility preservation process itself, fear of gender dysphoria caused by hormonal treatment and concerns regarding the attitude of medical staff were more likely to dissuade transgender men from fertility preservation when compared with transgender women (Alpern et al., 2022). ...
... Ein Nachweis von SARS-CoV-2 in Vaginalabstrichen wurde in 3 Studien untersucht [114][115][116], wobei die Mehrzahl der Abstriche (98 %) negativ war. Von den 4 positiven Fällen waren 3 Frauen postmenopausal und es lag bei allen zum Zeitpunkt der Abstrichentnahme eine symptomatische Infektion vor. ...

... Pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg position significantly impact on cardiac and hemodynamic function during minimally invasive hysterectomy [20]. Thus, these complications may be even more pronounced in RA-TLH when compared to traditional TLH, if operative times are indeed prolonged as well as due to the unique setup of the robot limiting intraoperative position shifts and restricted anesthesiologist access to the patient [14,19]. ...

... Since 2012, oocyte vitrification in women at risk of declining fertility is no longer considered experimental according to the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) (The Practice Committees of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology, 2013). Fertility preservation in the context of oncological diseases (De Vos et al., 2014), gynaecological disorders (endometriosis, ovarian surgery, etc.) (Cobo et al., 2020;Streuli et al., 2018) or genetic conditions with known impact on ovarian reserve (Fragile-X Syndrome, Turner Syndrome, etc.) (Avraham et al., 2017;Vergier et al., 2019) is widely accepted by the general society and medical community, and hundreds of children have been born after oocyte cryopreservation (Cobo et al., 2018). ...

... On the other hand, with regards to the increased risk of surgical complications of total salpingectomy, the debate is still open in the literature. Retrospective and randomized studies have shown similar surgical outcomes between salpingectomy and tubal ligation or partial salpingectomy [35][36][37][38]. This is also true for opportunistic salpingectomy performed during hysterectomy for benign pathology, where no differences in the estimated blood loss or perioperative complications were found [39]. ...
