Laparoscopic Tubal Re-Anastomosis or IVF in Previously Ligated Patients: A Comparison of Fertility Outcomes and Survey of Patient Attitudes.
CONCLUSIONS: For women less than 40 years of age, desiring fertility after tubal ligation, laparoscopic tubal re-anastomosis offers better live birth rates and cost-effectiveness. Patients in Singapore are equivocal as to their preference after education regarding the choices. Thus laparoscopic tubal re-anastomosis remains a viable alternative to IVF treatment.

Recovery in Psychosis: Perspectives of Clients With First Episode Psychosis.
CONCLUSIONS: The emergent themes provide an understanding of the meaning of recovery to persons with first episode psychosis, their experiences as they proceed with their recovery journey and factors they found helpful. The importance of acceptance of the condition and the personal role the individual plays in his or her own recovery was evident in the narratives of the participants. The study suggests a need to incorporate recovery-relevant approaches right from the first episode of psychosis.

Bleeding Complications and Adverse Events After Desmopressin Acetate for Percutaneous Renal Transplant Biopsy.
CONCLUSION: Prophylactic desmopressin for renal allograft biopsy may be associated with significant hyponatraemia but its effect on bleeding risk is unclear. Fluid restriction (where feasible) should be recommended when desmopressin is used during renal allograft biopsy. A randomised controlled trial is needed to clarify these outcomes.
