Article Abstract
It is not controversial to state that parental age is increasing in several countries. But how to deal with this increase might be. Some Nordic countries have set an upper age limit for females seeking assisted reproduction in their national legislation, but none have done so for males. There are also recommendations in place that restrict access to publicly funded assisted reproduction for both females and males of advanced age in some Nordic countries. As recent data now show somatic and psychiatric health risks related to advanced paternal age, we ask if the time has come for countries to set an upper age limit for males seeking assisted reproduction like there already is for females, and summarize some of the risks and rewards involved in treating couples with advanced age in fertility clinics.

Background: Assisted vaginal birth is a lifesaving procedure where health workers use special devices to expedite birth vaginally when some complications emerge, such as due to prolonged labor. When the use of assisted vaginal birth is possible and appropriate, it provides benefits over cesarean section. These benefits include shorter recovery, reduced hospital stays, lower risks of complications, cost savings, and greater likelihood of vaginal birth in future pregnancies.

Objective: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) cause significant perinatal morbidity. We developed a nomogram predicting preterm delivery risk using pre-delivery 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and clinical factors.
Methods: HDP patients undergoing ABPM within 1 month pre-delivery were enrolled.

Study Question: What is the effect of hCG on the epigenetic profile and the expression of other molecular factors in endometrial stromal cells (ESCs)?
Summary Answer: Our findings suggest that hCG treatment alters the molecular environment of decidualized ESCs, potentially influencing implantation and immune regulation through epigenetic modifications and changes in the levels of secreted proteins and micro-ribonucleic acids (miRNAs).
What Is Known Already: Embryo implantation depends not only on the quality of the embryo but also on the receptivity of the endometrium, the specialized lining of the uterus that undergoes dynamic changes to support pregnancy. Effective communication between the maternal and fetal compartments, facilitated by molecular signals and cellular interactions, is essential for successful implantation.
Evidence against the role of toll-like receptors 7 and 8 in sex selection in mice, cattle, and humans.

Recent studies suggested that treating sperm with R848, a ligand for the X-linked Toll-like receptors 7 and 8 (TLR7/8) in mice, goats, and cattle, could selectively reduce the motility of X chromosome bearing sperm (X-sperm). This reduction enables the separation of X- and Y-sperm and thereby sex selection. However, through three species and multiple methods, our results challenged prior published data.
