A novel, 3-dimensional, real-time, sperm-imaging technique, in which live spermatozoa are kept in a fluid environment, avoids staining and air-drying artifacts, and still allows for sperm to be used clinically.
Hysteroscopic adhesiolysis for Asherman syndrome resulted in restoration of a healthy uterine cavity in 95% of women treated, in 1–3 attempts, with a 28.7% recurrence rate of intrauterine adhesions.
To study the involvement of labelled CD133 bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMDSCs) in an animal model of Asherman syndrome. BMDSCs might improve the uterine tissue as a valuable source for endometrial restoration.
In normally cycling premenopausal women, SHBG concentrations, independently from other parameters, are negatively associated with bioavailable T and positively associated with adiponectin.
Antimullerian hormone (AMH) concentrations vary across ovulatory menstrual cycles with a periovulatory base and lower luteal phase levels. The number of antral follicles may be estimated from the level of AMH.
Twin children are not overexposed to sex steroids at the time of birth, despite higher concentrations in their mothers. Opposite-sex twin girls do not show androgenic influence from their male co-twins. Boys of an opposite-sex twin have lower LH concentrations compared with same-sex dizygotic twin boys.
Even in the presence of tubal patency, Chlamydia trachomatis immunoglobulin G3 seropositivity is associated with a lower likelihood of pregnancy and an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy.
Sexually active women had significantly higher luteal- phase P-E2 ratios and TH2-like cytokine profiles (interferon-g < interleukin-4) than sexually abstinent women.
In patients with normal ovarian reserve, comprehensive chromosome screening increases clinical and sustained implantation rates, thus improving embryo selection.
GCDFP15, MGB1, and SBEM were the most sensitive molecules to create a diagnostic panel for breast cancer malignant cell contamination, making cryopreservation of ovarian cortex–orthotransplantation safe for fertility preservation.
Neither pregnancy planning nor timing showed a significant association with preterm or small for gestational age births in this large prospective cohort controlling for confounders.
Adenomyosis uteri showed a unique nonhematopoietic cell population migrating from the basal endometrial glands into the stroma, and microtraumata at the junctional zone.
This retrospective cohort study demonstrates that a history of ectopic pregnancy carries a higher risk of recurrent ectopic pregnancy after in vitro fertilization– intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
By presenting age-specific live birth rates in a population of very poor prognosis patients, we demonstrate that such patients even in their mid-40s can still achieve acceptable live-birth rates.
Oocyte banking is clinically efficient. Estimation of the likelihood of having a child is provided. There is no way of estimating donors’ oocytes survival when considering baseline characteristics, storage time, or controlled ovarian stimulation parameters.
Our randomized controlled trial showed poor ovarian response, a microdose GnRH-a flare-up protocol with a daily dose of 600 IU gonadotropin does not significantly increase the number of mature (MII) oocytes compared with 450 IU/d.
With the use of oocyte donation-originated siblings, and controlling for potential laboratory and clinical confounders, similar birth weight and duration of gestation were observed with both fresh and frozen embryos.
