Molecular subtyping of breast cancer may provide additional prognostic information regarding patient outcome. However, its clinical significance remains to be established. In this study, the main aims were discover whether reclassification into molecular subtypes provides more precise outcome compared conventional histopathological grading and study cancer-specific survival in different subtypes. Cases occurring a cohort women born between 1886 1928 with long-term follow-up included study....

Is the risk of hypertensive disorders in pregnancies conceived following specific assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures different from spontaneously (SC) pregnancies? ART had a higher disorders, particular cryopreservation, with highest seen twin frozen–thawed cycles. The is than SC pregnancies. increased may be partly explained by multiple and underlying infertility, but contribution has not been excluded.

Background A higher risk of placenta previa after assisted reproductive technology (ART) is well established. The underlying mechanisms are poorly understood, but may relate to embryo culture duration, cryopreservation, and cause infertility. Within-mother analyses, where each woman her own control (i.e., sibling design), help disentangle treatment contributions from maternal confounders that stable between pregnancies. We aimed investigate the in pregnancies achieved ART according...

Adverse long-term outcomes in individuals born before full gestation are not confined to at extreme gestational ages. Little is known regarding mortality patterns among the weeks close ideal gestation, and exact causes well understood; both of these crucial for public health, with potential modification risk.To examine risk all-cause noncommunicable diseases (NCD) deaths young adults preterm early term.This multinational population-based cohort study used nationwide birth cohorts from...

When do the differences in birth weights become apparent between singletons born after frozen embryo transfer (FET) and fresh (fresh ET)?Mean FET significantly higher starting from gestational week (GW) 33 among boys GW 34 girls.In recent years, there has been a steep rise recorded treatments, enabling widespread use of elective single transfer, thus reducing risks associated with multiple gestations. However, are heavier is risk large-for-gestational-age (LGA) (birth weight > 90...

The use of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) is steadily increasing worldwide. outcomes associated with treatment for an individual's long-term health, including risk cardiovascular disease (CVD), remain largely unknown, due to the small number studies and their limited follow-up time.

Preterm birth (<37 weeks gestation) and its complications are the leading cause death babies in world, those who survive often have long-term health problems. Length gestation, including preterm birth, has been linked to ASD risk, but robust estimates for whole range gestational ages (GAs) lacking. primary objective this study was provide a detailed description risk across entire GAs while adjusting sex...

Background Compared to naturally conceived children, adverse perinatal outcomes are more common among children born after assisted reproductive technology with fresh embryo transfer (fresh-ET) or frozen (frozen-ET). However, most previous studies could not adequately control for family confounding factors such as subfertility. We compared birth size and duration of pregnancy infants fresh-ET frozen-ET versus natural conception, using a within-sibship design account by maternal factors....
