Methotrexate Success Varies in Ectopic Pregnancy Types
TOPLINE: Overall success rates for intramuscular (IM) methotrexate were comparable between recurrent and primary ectopic pregnancy cases, but single-dose treatment was less effective in recurrent cases. Analysis of 3944 patients revealed that multidose regimens achieved similar success rates in both groups, suggesting a potential benefit of routine multidose treatment for recurrent cases. METHODOLOGY: Researchers conducted systematic searches of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Scopus databases through February 2025, following PRISMA guidelines for meta-analysis. Analysis included 3944 patients (502 with recurrent and 3442 with primary ectopic pregnancy) from 15 observational studies, with patients aged ≥ 18 years receiving IM methotrexate treatment. The primary outcome measure was treatment success, defined as complete resolution of ectopic pregnancy without requiring further intervention. TAKEAWAY: Single-dose IM methotrexate had lower success rates in patients with recurrent ectopic pregnancy than in those with a primary ectopic pregnancy (relative risk [RR], 0.79; 95% CI, 0.63-1.00; P = .050). Multidose IM methotrexate treatment showed no significant difference in success rates between recurrent and primary ectopic pregnancy groups (RR, 1.14; 95% CI, 0.71-1.84; P = .590). Substantial heterogeneity was observed among studies analyzing single-dose (I² = 73.0%) and multidose (I² = 64.0%) treatment outcomes. IN PRACTICE: 'Current observational data suggest that patients with recurrent ectopic pregnancy should be considered for multidose IM methotrexate to achieve similar rates of success compared with primary ectopic pregnancy,' wrote the authors of the study. SOURCE: The study was led by Shreya Bhat, MBChB, PGDipOMG, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Palmerston North Hospital, Te Whatu Ora MidCentral in Palmerston North, Aotearoa New Zealand. It was published online in Obstetrics & Gynecology. LIMITATIONS: According to the authors, substantial heterogeneity in outcome definitions and baseline cohort characteristics between studies affected the analysis. Most studies were retrospective cohort designs, introducing potential selection bias and confounding factors. The researchers noted that over 50% of studies failed to identify relevant confounding variables, which likely contributed to the large observed CIs for effect estimates. DISCLOSURES: The authors did not report any potential conflicts of interest. This article was created using several editorial tools, including AI, as part of the process. Human editors reviewed this content before publication.

A buffet of choices School of Hospitality & Tourism, Galgotias University, Greater Noida
Students at SOHT Galagotias thrive in a multidisciplinary learning environment that helps cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset SCHOOL OF HOSPITALITY & TOURISM, GALGOTIAS UNIVERSITY, GREATER NOIDA No. 24 (2025) up from No. 49 (2020) The School of Hospitality and Tourism (SOHT) at Galgotias University stands out as a premier institute due to its progressive, interdisciplinary and student-centric approach. 'Beyond traditional academics, we foster a multidisciplinary learning environment by integrating inputs from business, design, information technology and communication, ensuring students develop the holistic skills necessary for today's global hospitality industry,' says Prof. Rajiv Mishra, Dean, School of Hospitality and Tourism, Galgotias University, Greater Noida. One of the school's defining features is its commitment to experiential learning. Students engage in real-world projects such as local, community-based tourism development near Jewar Airport, Greater Noida, and live consultancy assignments for logistics and service sectors like the Indian Railways. The faculty contributes to industry knowledge through high-impact research on topics such as guest satisfaction technologies, sustainability in hospitality and digital innovation, with several works published in the abstract and citation database, Scopus, and other internationally indexed journals. Another hallmark of SOHT is its practical exposure through executive development workshops, culinary masterclasses and simulation-based training sessions. The school regularly organises hospitality hackathons and collaborative coursework co-designed with partners from the hotel industry. In terms of pedagogy, SOHT has implemented advanced evaluation systems based on Bloom's Taxonomy, a hierarchical framework of educational goals that encourage analytical thinking and deep learning. 'The school emphasises entrepreneurial development, providing incubation support and mentorship to students who wish to launch their own ventures. This has led to the successful establishment of hospitality enterprises like Urban Mirchi, Caf Mocha and Caf The Downtown by alumni,' adds Prof. Mishra. SOHT currently offers undergraduate programmes such as the Bachelor of Hotel Management (BHM) and BSc in Hospitality Management. Aligned with NEP 2020, these programmes are structured around outcome-based learning (OBL) and project-based learning (PBL) models. With over 286 students currently enrolled, and hundreds of graduates successfully placed in leading hotel brands worldwide, SOHT consistently demonstrates exceptional academic and professional outcomes. A recent and notable development is the rise of a student-led governance ecosystem, where students actively contribute to quality assurance cells, feedback committees, event planning, and academic review panels. This participative model has enhanced accountability, strengthened student engagement, and significantly improved satisfaction levels.
