A Vietnamese cohort study suggests a simplified fixed-dose follitropin delta regimen can match standard approaches for live birth in IVF freeze-all cycles, with shorter stimulation durations and no reported ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome cases. The study also highlights how regimen design can potentially reduce operational complexity without sacrificing efficacy. In neonatal pulmonary care, a systematic review and meta-analysis reports that pleuro-amniotic shunting achieves survival in about 65% of fetuses with isolated pleural effusion and reverses hydrops in most treated cases, though preterm birth remains common. The evidence provides decision support for a high-risk fetal intervention where timing and selection drive outcomes. Together, the updates focus on interventions where dosing protocols, procedural timing, and selection criteria are critical for balancing safety and outcome probability in early life stages.
