Article Abstract
Purpose: This retrospective multicenter cohort study aimed to investigate the impact of diazepam administration during embryo transfer on reproductive outcomes, focusing primarily on the live birth rate. Secondary outcomes included the positive beta-hCG rate, clinical pregnancy rate, miscarriage rate, ectopic pregnancy rate, and preterm birth rate.
Methods: Data from 5607 embryo transfers, encompassing 465 cases with diazepam administration, were retrospectively analyzed. The study included single blastocyst transfers from 12 clinics in Portugal and Spain between January 2015 and December 2022.
Results: Comparison of reproductive outcomes between patients receiving diazepam and those who did not showed no statistically significant differences. Positive beta-hCG rates (60.8% non-diazepam vs. 60.4% diazepam, p = 0.92, adjusted p = 0.32) and clinical pregnancy rates (45.6% non-diazepam vs. 46.2% diazepam, p = 0.81, adjusted p = 0.11) were comparable. Miscarriage rates (11.0% diazepam vs. 9.3% non-diazepam, p = 0.25, adjusted p = 0.26) and ectopic pregnancy rates (0.9% diazepam vs. 0.1% non-diazepam, p = 0.1, adjusted p = 0.20) were similar. Live birth rates (36.3% non-diazepam vs. 35.3% diazepam, p = 0.69, adjusted p = 0.82) and prematurity rates (0.3% non-diazepam vs. 0% diazepam, p > 0.99, adjusted p = 0.99) also exhibited no statistically significant differences.
Conclusions: Based on the results, diazepam administration during embryo transfer did not show a discernible impact on reproductive outcomes, including live birth rates, suggesting its limited effectiveness in enhancing success.

Certain foods and specific drugs have been linked to epilepsy in the literature. Here, we query PubMed citations for the co-occurrence of epilepsy with foods and drugs, using a list of 217,776 molecules from the HMDB. Notably, the top associations with epilepsy include approved drugs and drug families, diagnostic markers, inducers, and vitamins.

Introduction: Status epilepticus is a life-threatening pediatric emergency with high morbidity and mortality, where rapid benzodiazepine administration is critical. However, the optimal agent and route of administration remain subjects of ongoing evaluation, with direct head-to-head comparison between lorazepam and midazolam remaining limited.
Methods: An aggregate-level meta-analysis was conducted on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the efficacy of midazolam against lorazepam in managing pediatric status epilepticus.

Introduction: Achieving reliable anesthesia induction and rapid postoperative recovery are crucial aspects of animal research, particularly in small experimental animals. Thiopentone is still a widely used anesthetic drug, but its safety is a primary concern in delivering a safe dose to experimental animals. However, the use of thiopentone in combination with xylazine for surgical procedures in small experimental animals remains underexplored.

Introduction: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with multiorgan involvement, being the development of neuropsychiatric (NP) symptoms variable, in which the presentation of catatonia and Cotard syndrome (CoS) is rare.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 29-year-old woman who was diagnosed with SLE in 2018 based on the presence of articular, serosal and, hematological manifestations and immunological abnormalities. During her hospitalization, inappropriate behaviors including repetitive and incoherent speech, visual and olfactory hallucinations developed, so NP involvement was considered, and quetiapine and methylprednisolone pulses were administered with good response.
Diazepam modulates hippocampal CA1 functional connectivity in people at clinical high-risk for psychosis.

Background: Preclinical evidence suggests that diazepam enhances hippocampal γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) signalling and normalises a psychosis-relevant cortico-limbic-striatal circuit. Hippocampal network dysconnectivity, particularly from the CA1 subfield, is evident in people at clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHR-P), representing a potential treatment target. This study aimed to forward-translate this preclinical evidence.
