Women with elderly obese partners at higher risk of embryo implantation failure
Infertility is a serious problem among couples globally. Over the past three decades, the age that couples in developed countries choose to have children has been rising steadily. This trend has become so pervasive that demographers have coined a term for it - postponement transition.
Some require medical support to conceive and successfully carry a baby full term. In a paper published in the KeAi journal Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinical Medicine, a group of researchers in China explored the effects of advanced paternal age (APA) and abnormal paternal weight (obesity) on in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment in nearly 800 couples who have experienced unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (uRPL). Specifically, they considered the impact on embryo implantation, embryo quality and the health of the baby.

Sports is a common cause of concussion or head injury among children. Resuming non-contact physical activity 72 hours after a concussion is safe, and may also reduce symptoms and the risk of delayed recovery, suggests the first and largest real-world, randomized clinical trial on the topic to be conducted with children and youth aged 10 to 18.
The British Journal of Sports Medicine, the world's leading journal in the field. Previous randomized clinical trials have been smaller in nature, conducted in the lab or only used a sport-related population reported that every health-care professional who manages kids with concussions the confidence to prescribe early and controlled return to physical activity, even if they have symptoms," said Andrée-Anne Ledoux, the study's corresponding author and a scientist at the CHEO Research Institute, a pediatric health-care and research centre in Ottawa, Canada.

PPI, oral glucocorticoids use linked to fracture risk in rheumatoid arthritis patients
The BMJ journal Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, suggests that fracture risk assessment should be considered when a RA patient is prescribed both oral GCs and PPIs. Concomitant use of PPIs and oral glucocorticoids increases risk of osteoporotic fractures by 1.6-fold in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (aged 50 years and above), reports the study.
Rheumatoid arthritis patients commonly use proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and oral glucocorticoids (GCs) both of which are associated with osteoporotic fractures. Shahab Abtahi, Maastricht University Medical Centre, Maastricht, The Netherlands, and colleagues investigated the association between concomitant use of oral GCs and PPIs and osteoporotic fractures risk among RA patients.
