Objective: To demonstrate the efficiency of vitrifying mature human oocytes for different clinical indications. Design: Descriptive case series. Setting: Cryobiology laboratory, Centro Colombiano de Fertilidad y Esterilidad–CECOLFES LTDA. (Bogotá, Colombia). Patient(s): Oocyte vitrification was offered as an alternative management for patients undergoing infertility treatment because of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, premature ovarian failure, natural ovarian failure, male factor, poor response, or oocyte donation. Mature oocytes were obtained from 33 donor women and 40 patients undergoing infertility treatment. Intervention(s): Oocytes were retrieved by ultrasound-guided transvaginal aspiration and vitrified with the Cryotops method, with 30% ethylene glycol, 30% dimethyl sulfoxide, and 0.5 mol/L sucrose. Viability was assessed 3 hours after thawing. The surviving oocytes were inseminated by intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Fertilization was evaluated after 24 hours. The zygotes were further cultured in vitro for up to 72 hours until time of embryo transfer. Main Outcome Measure(s): Recovery, viability, fertilization, and pregnancy rates. Result(s): Oocyte vitrification with the Cryotop method resulted in high rates of recovery, viability, fertilization, cleavage, and ongoing pregnancy. Conclusion(s): Vitrification with the Cryotop method is an efficient, fast, and economical method for oocyte cryopreservation that offers high rates of survival, fertilization, embryo development, and ongoing normal pregnancies, providing a new alternative for the management of female infertility.

- Abstract
The pandemic caused by COVID19 is associated with an increase in the number of cases of cardiorespiratory arrest, which has resulted in ethical concerns regarding the enforceability of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, as well as the conditions to carry it out. The risk of aerosol transmission and the clinical uncertainties about the efficacy, the potential sequelae, and the circumstances that could justify limiting this procedure during the pandemic have multiplied the ethical doubts on how to proceed in these cases. Based on ethical and legal grounds, this paper offers a practical guide on how to proceed in the clinical setting in cases of cardiopulmonary arrest during the pandemic. The criteria of justice, benefit, no harm, respect for autonomy, precaution, integrity, and transparency are asserted in an organized and practical framework for decision-making regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

- Abstract
Objective: To describe the safety of medical and surgical treatments used in women seeking voluntary pregnancy termination., Methods: Historical cohort of all pregnant women with up to 26 weeks of gestation who received treatment for voluntary pregnancy termination in a referral institution in Medellín, Colombia, between January 2013 and December 2014.Sampling was consecutive. Measured variables included sociodemographic and obstetric variables, undesired effects, and complications of the voluntary pregnancy termination treatment. A descriptive analysis was carried out., Results: Overall, 87 women were included. The mean age at the time of termination was 24 years (inter-quartile range [IQR] = 12), 69.0% were single, and 73,4% were unemployed. The main reason for termination was the risk to the mother's health in 61,0% of cases, followed by a history of sexual violence in 26.4% and fetal malformations in 12.6%; a total of 70 women (80,4%) had less than 18 weeks of gestation and were treated with misoprostol plus manual vacuum aspiration; 17 (19,6%) had between 18 and 26 weeks of gestation and were treated with misoprostol followed by dilation and curettage. The first group (gestational age <18 weeks) experienced undesired effects such as pain and vomiting; in the second group (> or equal to 18 weeks), 41.0% of the women experienced hemorrhage., Conclusions: The risk to the mother's health was the main reason for the termination of pregnancy. Termination before 18 weeks was found to be safe, while termination between 18 and 26 weeks using misoprostol and curettage was associated with a high frequency of hemorrhage., Competing Interests: None declared, (Copyright© 2019 This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License by-nc-nd/4.0.)

- Abstract
Introduction: The deliberate burns with acid are recognized as violence against women described in the 17th century. However, in the second half of the 20th Century this practice becomes frequent in South East Asia, Africa and Middle East. In Latin America is a recent phenomena over which little has been published in the scientific literature., Objective: To describe the clinical and psychic-pathological characteristics of 8 Colombian women burned with acid in the context of violence based on gender., Method: retrospective series of cases, patients admitted at a university hospital in a period of 7 years after being burned with acid within the context of hetero-aggression. The patients were attended by a group of interdisciplinary health professionals, including the psychiatrists. The psychiatric analyses were carried out parting from the non structured psychiatric interview complying with diagnostic criteria of the Statistic and Diagnostic Manual., Results: Eight women with an average age of 29.5 years were attacked with acid in a period of 8 years. The context for the aggression was violence based on gender. All the attackers were males. The body surface burned was 24% in average. The ocular involvement was present in 80% of the cases, two of them with bilateral blindness. The direct aggressor was the partner in three cases. The reason for the attack was jealousy and revenge due to rejection to sexual or love advancements or pretensions., Conclusions: The burns with acid constitute a new expression of the violence based on gender in Colombia. This type of aggressions generates suffering, rejection and social isolation and although, it does not have the intent to cause death to the victim, it does leave permanent scars of the aggression.
