    Abstract This article reports the annals of a national consensus meeting on add-ons and social networks in Assisted Reproduction Techniques (ART). The panel of experts has developed a set of consensus points and this document is intended to be referenced as a national consensus to allow social networks and add-ons to be used in ART, following the standards of the Code of Medical Ethics and the Federal Council of Medicine, in a safe ethical and responsible way.

    Abstract To conduct this review of primary care, we looked for related papers in PubMed from the last 15 years. WHO's initial concept of Health defined a condition of physical, mental, and social well-being, nowadays extended to quality of life. Infertility or not being able to form a family fits perfectly into the definition. Primary care is responsible for mandatory discussions about fertility as part of a broader aspect regarding reproductive health issues. Having children is a decision taken by heterosexual couples, same sex couples, or single individuals. Understanding factors associated with infertility help guiding propedeutic. Although woman's age is one of the main factors to influence treatment success rates, multifactorial male factor may contribute to 50 percent. Infertility consultations should include partners, alleviating the accompanying stress and anxiety. Anamnesis must focus on duration of infertility, primary or secondary, sexual activity, and lifestyle habits such as smoking, alcohol consumption, diet, physical activity, use of licit and/or illicit drugs, and occupational risks. Previous treatments should be accessed. Management of infertility by primary care is mandatory, and patients requiring specialized treatments must not have their journey protracted. Strategies and couple-based interventions are essential to continuity of care and close follow-up should follow these patients.

    Abstract Preventing a luteinizing hormone (LH) surge is a major concern in controlled ovarian stimulation (COS). Several strategies have been developed over the years, including protocols with Gonadotrophin Releasing Hormone agonists and antagonists. More recently Progestin Primmed Ovarian Stimulation (PPOS) has shown to be equally effective in pituitary suppression, with comparable clinical and laboratorial outcomes. This is the case of a 34 year old female, with a previous diagnosis of primary infertility due to tubal factor and high ovarian reserve markers. The initial plan was to perform IVF/ICSI. followed by fresh blastocyst transfer. The chosen COS strategy was to use Alfacorifolitropin 150mg (Elonva®) and Cetrorelix acetate 0,25mg (Cetrotide®) in a flexible pituitary suppression protocol. However, because of elevated risk for Ovarian Hyper-stimulation Syndrome (OHSS) detected during ultrasound and hormonal monitoring, in order to diminish financial burden and to have a more patient friendly protocol, we switched cetrorelix acetate to oral dydrogesterone. COS was successful and resulted in 24 retrieved oocytes (16 metaphase 2 oocytes) without any premature LH peak. No OHSS symptoms occurred. Our main goal with this case report is to reinforce the feasibility and efficacy of this innovative approach, especially in patients aiming for a fresh embryo transfer, who present alert sings of OHSS during the stimulation. Developing friendlier and cheaper protocols in assisted reproduction makes the treatment more accessible and affordable.

    Abstract: ... with HM followed at the Rio de Janeiro Federal University, from January 1st 2000-December 31st 2020 ...

    Abstract Objective: To describe the natural history of hydatidiform mole (HM) after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), emphasizing the clinical and oncological outcomes, as compared to patients who had HM after spontaneous conception (SC).
    Study design: Retrospective historical cohort study of patients with HM followed at the Rio de Janeiro Federal University, from January 1st 2000-December 31st 2020.
    Results: Comparing singleton HM after SC to those following ICSI there were differences in terms of maternal age (24 vs 34 years, p < 0.01), gestational age at diagnosis (10 vs 7 weeks, p < 0.01), preevacuation human chorionic gonadotropin levels (200,000 vs 99,000 IU/L, p < 0.01), occurrence of genital bleeding (60.5 vs 26.9%, p < 0.01) and hyperemesis (23 vs 3.9%, p = 0.02) at presentation, and time to remission (12 vs 5 weeks, p < 0.01), respectively. There were no differences observed in the cases of twin mole, regardless of the form of fertilization that gave rise to HM, except molar histology with greater occurrence of partial hydatidiform mole (10.7 vs 40.0%, p = 0.01) following ICSI. Univariate logistic regression for occurrence of postmolar GTN after ICSI identified no predictor variable for this outcome. However, after adjusting for maternal age and complete hydatidiform mole histology, multivariable logistic regression showed the risk of GTN with HM after ICSI had an adjusted odds ratio of 0.22 (95%CI:0.05-0.93, p = 0.04), suggesting a possible protective effect when compared to HM after SC.
    Conclusions: Singleton HM after ICSI are diagnosed earlier in gestation, present with fewer medical complications, and may be less likely to develop GTN when compared with HM after SC.

    Abstract ABSTRACT Campomanesia adamantium (Cambess.) O. Berg (guavira) is a native plant of the Cerrado and Pantanal, which has several medicinal activities and fruits with a unique flavor rich in vitamin C. The species does not have defined cultivation methods, requiring studies to increase biomass production. An alternative is the use of organic residues that can influence the chemical, physical and biological characteristics of soils and consequently increase plant production. Thus, the objective was to evaluate the effect of different organic residues and bokashi, on the biomass production of plants and on the levels of phenols, flavonoids and antioxidant activity of tea from the leaves of guavira. Five substrates were studied in pots and protected environment: soil; soil + rice husk chicken manure; soil + sawdust chicken manure; soil + castor bean cake; soil + Organosuper® with or without the use of Bokashi in a 5x2 factorial scheme, in a randomized block experimental design. It was observed that the rice husk chicken manure can be used to increase the initial growth and biomass production of guavira keeping the leaves antioxidant activity tea stable. The use of bokashi benefits the growth of guavira only when no other organic residue is added to soil.

    Abstract Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been used in several areas of medicine due to its ability to promote tissue regeneration by growth factors and cytokines. This review addresses the use of PRP to rejuvenate ovarian follicles and increase the thickness of the endometrium to receive an embryo. PRP is obtained from the patient's own blood (autologous blood) - a fact that determines a lower chance of rejection reactions. Alpha granules of platelets provide and release supra physiological amounts of growth factors and cytokines, which provide a regenerative stimulus in tissues with low healing potential. In the ovary, PRP and its growth factors stimulate vascularization and recruitment of available primordial follicles that could no longer be otherwise stimulated. The rejuvenation of the ovary by PRP infusion aims to obtain new oocytes in ovaries with low numbers of follicles or low follicular reserve markers. In the preparation of the endometrium, PRP is used for its several growth factors that allow tissue proliferation and endometrial thickening, especially in cases of endometria that are difficult to prepare or that fail to reach an adequate minimum thickness (>7mm). To date, there are few studies of greater expression in the literature that support the use of PRP with the two purposes described above. Thus, although promising, the technique must still be validated by larger clinical trials.
