Background: Nowadays, minimally invasive intervention (MII) has largely replaced delayed open surgery in acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP). However, the timing of MII remains unclear. The present study investigated the effect of early versus delayed MII on complications in ANP.
Methods: Studies evaluating the impact of the timing of MII on complications in ANP patients were thoroughly searched on PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science from inception to June 2022. The primary outcome of interest was mortality. Secondary outcomes were the incidence of complications.
Results: Nine studies reporting 870 patients undergoing MII for ANP were included. No significant difference was found in mortality between the early and delayed intervention groups. In addition, the timing of MII was not associated with the incidence of new-onset respiratory failure, new-onset cardiovascular failure, new-onset renal failure, new-onset multiple organ failure, gastrointestinal fistula or perforation, pancreatic fistula, stent migration, bleeding, venous thrombosis, and new-onset pancreatic endocrine insufficiency. Notably, in the subgroup analysis of biliary and Asian ANP patients, early intervention was associated with a significantly higher risk of new-onset renal failure than delayed intervention.
Conclusions: Early intervention is safe and recommended only for patients with indications for intervention, such as infection.

Objective: To compare the impact of luteal-phase ovarian stimulation on embryo count, embryo ploidy, and embryo quality to that of follicular-phase stimulation.
Design: Retrospective cohort study between 03/2017 and 11/2024.
Subjects: Women who underwent an ovarian stimulation, commenced either in the follicular or the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.

Introduction: As part of the German Medical Informatics Initiative (MII) and Network University Medicine (NUM), a central research terminology service (TS) is provided by the Service Unit Terminology Services (SU-TermServ). This HL7 FHIR-based service depends on the timely and comprehensive availability of FHIR terminology resources to provide the necessary interactions for the distributed MII/NUM infrastructure. While German legislation has recently instituted a national terminology service for medical classifications and terminologies, the scope of the MII and NUM extends beyond routine patient care, encompassing the need for supplementary or specialized services and terminologies that are not commonly utilized elsewhere.

Aneuploidy in oocytes is a leading cause of implantation failure, miscarriage and congenital disorders. During meiosis, proper timing of chromosome segregation is regulated by the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C). However, how pharmacological manipulation of these regulatory pathways affects aneuploidy remains incompletely understood.

The metabolic co-dependence of the oocyte and surrounding granulosa cells is crucial for oocyte developmental competence. Previous research has shown that serine-glycine and its key downstream metabolites are significantly involved in the process of oocyte maturation. However, the mechanism of serine metabolism and its influence on oocyte maturation remain unclear.

Study Question: Can an artificial intelligence (AI)-based oocyte scoring system reliably predict the developmental competence of fresh donor oocytes?
Summary Answer: The AI-derived Magenta Score was significantly associated with fertilization, blastocyst formation, and helpful to estimate cumulative live birth rates, although a trend toward overestimation was observed in a subset of cycles.
What Is Known Already: Oocyte quality is a critical determinant of IVF success; however, standardized and objective methods for its assessment are lacking. Current allocation strategies in oocyte donation cycles often neglect recipient-related factors and risk overproduction of surplus embryos.
