A new report from Southern Medical University discusses the use of the letrozole ovulation regimen for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The study aims to determine whether this regimen can improve pregnancy outcomes compared to the programmed regimen for endometrial preparation. The research is a multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial, with the primary outcome being the clinical pregnancy rate. The results of this study will provide valuable evidence for the effectiveness of the letrozole ovulation regimen in PCOS women undergoing FET. [Extracted from the article]

A recent report from the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical University in China highlights the case of a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia who developed Legionella pneumonia. Legionella is a gram-negative bacterium that causes community-acquired pneumonia, and Legionella pneumophila is the most common causative agent. The patient's condition worsened despite treatment with various antimicrobial agents, and they eventually died. The researchers emphasize the importance of considering Legionella infection in critically ill patients with pneumonia, especially when conventional therapies are ineffective, and suggest that metagenomic next-generation sequencing can be a useful diagnostic tool in such cases.
