Laparoscopic vaginoplasty using a single peritoneal flap may be a feasible and effective approach to creating a neovagina in patients with MRKH syndrome.

The insertion of an intrauterine balloon and an intrauterine device are of similar efficacy in the prevention of adhesion reformation after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis in Asherman syndrome.

Stro-1/CD44 surface markers were used to isolate and identify human myometrial/fibroid stem cells as demonstrated by their ability to differentiate in vitro and regenerate fibroid-like tissue in vivo.

Drospirenone induces decidualization in human eutopic endometrial stromal cells and reduces DNA synthesis of human endometriotic stromal cells.

Activation of endocannabinoids and overexpression of cannabinoid receptors may be associated with insulin resistance in women with PCOS.

After the first 2 years from menarche, the threshold for increased ovarian size is similar to that reported in adult women.

Women with assisted conception report lower physical and better mental health during pregnancy than women with spontaneous conception; by 4 months postpartum there are no differences in health related quality of life based on mode of conception.

Individualized counseling during the initial infertility visit may improve patient knowledge of infertility treatment thus enabling appropriate patient expectations while also decreasing anxiety and negative appraisals of the treatment experience.

This study investigated ovarian reserve in complete mullerian agenesis (CMA) patients and compared the ovarian reserve of CMA patients with age-matched fertile and infertile controls.

Progesterone receptor-B mRNA levels in leiomyoma tissue are directly associated with the number of tumors and inversely correlated with the intensity of intermenstrual bleeding and dysmenorrhea.

This study shows that NR5A1 mutations are a novel cause of severe primary spermatogenic impairment and suggests that isolated cryptorchidism might be another phenotype associated with disruption of NR5A1-mediated pathways.

We found that ADAMTS19 and BMPR2 mutations might be related to premature ovarian failure (POF) pathogenesis. We proposed that heterozygous LHCGR mutations might contribute, with variants in further POF genes, toward premature menopause.

Methylation patterns in tissue from polycystic ovary syndrome were distinguishable from control samples and were associated with promoter class, genomic location, and specific biological networks.

Fertility-sparing surgery was not associated with compromised outcome in this series of 59 patients with advanced borderline ovarian tumor, and it allowed the attainment of 26 live births.

Bibliometric analysis of the most important metrics of publications in reproductive medicine reveals strong growth and maturity in reproductive medicine research.

We conducted a large-sample, historical study and identified a strong, independent, and linear relationship between preconception BP level and PTB in a Chinese rural reproductive-age population of women.

The Endometriosis Fertility Index (EFI) predicted spontaneous pregnancy after surgery for endometriotic infertile women. Combining surgery and assisted reproductive technologies according to EFI led to a 78% pregnancy rate at 18 months.

We discuss how embryo transfers in cycles without ovarian hyperstimulation are associated with lower rates of ectopic pregnancy compared with fresh autologous cycles, which suggests a difference in the uterine environment.

Coculture biopsy in the cycle preceding IVF does not increase implantation, clinical pregnancy, or live birth rates compared with biopsies performed more than one cycle before IVF.

Leukocytospermia ( 1 106 leukocytes/mL), assessed by flow cytometry, does not significantly influence IVF or ICSI outcomes. The same results were obtained by using lower or higher cut-off values for leukocytospermia (from 0.2 to 2 106/mL).
