Invasive glands from induced deep nodular endometriosis in a baboon model show morphologic and immunohistochemical similarities to collective cell migration, suggesting its involvement in the invasion phenomenon of deep nodular endometriosis.

Estrogen-related receptor-g expression and mitochondrial content were markedly lower in IUGR placentas as compared with control placentas. This finding suggests that estrogen-related receptor-g is involved in the control of placental development.

Human chorionic gonadotropin increases the attachment of trophoblastic spheroids on human fallopian tube epithelial cells, through activation of extracellular signal regulated kinase and Wnt/b-catenin signaling pathways, leading to down-regulation of Olfm1 expression.

Android fat distribution, older age, insulin resistance, and free testosterone levels may affect some hemostatic parameters in polycystic ovary syndrome, particularly in young and overweight women.

The ratios of adiponectin/leptin and adiponectin/resistin constitute novel predictor factors used to explain polycystic ovary syndrome and associated features.

We report normative data of uterine volume and endometrial thickness in health girls. Furthermore, we compare methodology, transabdominal ultrasound versus magnetic resonance imaging.

A combined cognitive coping and relaxation self help psychological intervention was associated with improved psychological status but not lower treatment discontinuation or higher pregnancy rates.

Women with uterine fibroids report differences in specific domains on a validated measure of sexual functioning during menses vs. between menses.

In vivo mechanisms of uterine myoma reduction with ulipristal acetate treatment suggest a multifactorial action.

A molecular karyotype can be obtained from genomic deoxyribonucleic acid isolated from the blastocoel fluid, which may provide insight into embryonic development and demonstrate the potential for future less invasive preimplantation genetic testing.

The molecular detection of MGB-1, GCDFP-15, and MGB-2 in ovarian tissue possibly increases the safety of cryopreserved ovarian tissue transplantation for restoring fertility in breast cancer survivors.

A comprehensive infertility insurance mandate was associated with increased use of assisted reproductive technology; however, more embryos were transferred in states without a mandate compared with in the mandate state.

Black and Asian women undergoing in vitro fertilization have significantly lower odds of both clinical intrauterine pregnancy and live birth compared with white women.

No increase occurred in hypertension risk over the long term among infertile women or those who underwent fertility treatment.

Term singletons conceived after medically assisted reproduction have an increased risk of morbidity related to birth asphyxia.

Transvaginal sonography (TVS) is the most straightforward, least expensive, and best tolerated technique in the evaluation of patients with suspicion of deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE). However, some types of DPE require a modified TVS technique to optimize effectiveness and accuracy.

There is a receptivity defect within the endometrium of women with endometrioma that affects fertility. Laparoscopic endometrioma resection enhances endometrial HOXA-10 and HOXA-11mRNA expression, suggesting an improvement in endometrial receptivity.

A lack of change in antimullerian hormone levels in early pregnancy is associated with preterm birth in women with a maternal serum a-fetoprotein level of >1.0 multiple of the median.

Protein biomarker expression in extravillous trophoblast cells obtained noninvasively at 5–10 weeks’ gestation differs between women having a normal term pregnancy and those with an early pregnancy loss.

Mild stimulation using clomiphene citrate can be considered a realistic option to give patients with a good prognosis an excellent probability of pregnancy in a very short time period.

Personalized prediction of live-birth prognosis incorporating baseline clinical characteristics and antimullerian hormone can be achieved at a center specific level, with no added value from incorporating antral follicle count.

Three months of supplementation with alpha-lipoic acid improved sperm quality in infertile men. Medical therapy with oral antioxidants can improve quality of semen parameters.

Spermatozoa miR-34c levels are correlated with the quality of day-3 embryos, pregnancy rate, implantation rate, and live birth rate and can be used as an indicator of ICSI outcomes.

Medimachine dissociation of human testicular tissues results in a cell suspension enriched for SALL4-positive undifferentiated spermatogonia.

Seminal plasma proteome reflects semen lipid peroxidation status, with the expression of proteins related to reactive oxygen species metabolism. These proteins may be used as biomarkers for semen oxidative stress.

Whole exome sequencing identified homozygous mutation in NPAS2 in a family of men with nonobstructive azoospermia.

Reflections on “Antimüllerian hormone levels and antral follicle count as prognostic indicators in a personalized prediction model of live birth” by Nelson et al.

Genetic testing for inherited genetic conditions is an important component of preconception planning, to assist in assessing the risk of genetic disease in a child, as well as anticipating the management of a woman’s reproductive care. Traditional methods of carrier screening have focused on panethnic screening for conditions including cystic fibrosis and spinal muscular atrophy, whereas other conditions, including hemoglobinopathies and Tay-Sachs, are screened according to a race- or ethnicity-based approach.

Infertility patients need emotional counseling for many purposes, all of which are beneficial to the health care team as well. Mental health professionals should be established members on that team.

Reproductive counselors could broaden care to a more collaborative approach involving education, training, and support to fertility clinic staff to help reduce staff stress, prevent burnout, and improve patient care.

The end of fertility treatment can be an emotionally difficult time. Mental health professionals can provide counseling to support patients’ adjustment.

Men with infertility represent a significant percentage of the infertile population. Public awareness of this fact is limited in part because literature and other media have neglected the male component.

Key paradigm shifts in the evolution of psychology and counseling are discussed.

Mental health professionals play a varied and critical role in addressing the psychosocial needs of infertile individuals and couples and can contribute significantly to the outcomes and satisfaction of infertility patients and those who care for them.
