Optimal IVF for 2020 should include a way of reducing treatment burden and enhancing care delivery for patients and staff and empower people to optimize their chances of achieving parenthood.

In the human assisted reproduction laboratory, should equipment, utensils, and consumables, as well as culture and embryo selection strategies, be systematically evaluated before being introduced into routine u

This review summarizes key economic considerations of assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment from a global perspective, highlighting how significant differences in costs and funding arrangements globally influence access to treatment and clinical practice.

Conceptions article on affordable IVF.

IVF was illegal in Costa Rica until overturned by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. This provides support for those opposed to current efforts in the U.S. to declare personhood upon fertilization or conception.]

This opinion of the ASRM Ethics Committee analyzes the ethical issues raised by assisted reproduction program fee structures in which patients pay more initially but receive a partial refund if treatment fails.

This document discusses the ethical issues surrounding donation of embryos or oocytes to women of advanced age.

This document reviews the mechanism of clomiphene citrate action, use in women with anovulatory and unexplained infertility, administration, side effects, and alternatives.

Reflections on “Proteomic analysis of seminal plasma from infertile patients with oligoasthenoteratozoospermia due to oxidative stress and comparison with fertile volunteers” by Herwig et al.

Reflections on “Efficacy of intrauterine inseminations as a training modality for performing embryo transfer in reproductive endocrinology and infertility fellowship programs” by Shah et al.

Reflections on “Decreases in adrenomedullin expression and ciliary beat frequency in the nasal epithelium in tubal pregnancy” by O et al.

The largest proteomic data set to date of seminal plasma from idiopathic oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (iOAT) and fertile subjects is presented, with 46 proteins implicated in oxidative stress and immune response in iOAT.

One out of five patients with prostate cancer considered preoperative sperm banking to be very important, and most wanted a dedicated service for preoperative sperm cryopreservation.

Combined treatment with taurine, cysteine, and glutathione improves the quality of human sperm by decreasing the rate of reduction in sperm motility during in vitro manipulation.

The presence of sperm vacuoles does not affect fertilization rate and embryo quality but significantly influences pregnancy, implantation, and live-birth rates.

Pregnancy rates for the first 100 ETs performed by reproductive endocrinology and infertility fellows were unchanged after an IUI training requirement. The substantial variation noted among fellows decreased as more ETs were completed.

This is the first report, based on the SART database, of utilization and outcomes of unstimulated (natural cycle) IVF in the United States. Natural cycle IVF should be considered as a therapy for infertile couples.

This is an analysis of fetal and neonatal outcomes from fresh and thawed oocyte cycles in the same group of 855 patients.

The use of reduced oxygen tension during in vitro culture improves embryo quality but does not affect ongoing pregnancy rates in ovum donation cycles.

Assisted reproductive techniques can lead to medical complications such as multiple pregnancy and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. A critical appraisal and strategies to reduce the occurrence of these complications are discussed in this manuscript.
