Racial differences in fibroid prevalence exist even in young asymptomatic women. Findings of thicker endometrium in black women warrant further investigation, given possible clinical implications.

The comparison of embryo morphokinetics after IVF-ICSI cycles according to female smoking status showed that early embryo development is impaired by female smoking, leading to poor IVF outcome.

Elective single ET in the United States increased from 1999–2010. One-third of elective single ET among 35–37-year-olds resulted in a good perinatal outcome; transfer guidelines could be expanded.

CGB5 promoter variants were associated with a modest but significant effect on reducing recurrent miscarriage (RM) risk. No common genetic variants in CGB5 and CGB8 were associated with increased RM susceptibility.

There were no statistically significant differences in the distribution of genotype and allele frequencies of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases 1, 2, 3, and 4 gene polymorphisms between idiopathic recurrent spontaneous abortion couples and control subjects.

Diagnostic imaging for congenital and acquired uterine anomalies should be recommended to women after two recurrent miscarriages, even if they have had a prior live birth.

Endometrial and subendometrial microvascularization was increased in women with IUD-induced menorrhagia, as evidenced by 3D power Doppler analysis; however, this finding has no predictive value before IUD insertion.

Personalized first-cycle IVF live birth predictions can better identify patients with good-to-excellent prognoses.

Whether a fresh or thawed IVF embryo is transferred affects the height and growth factor and lipid profiles in childhood, so embryo derivation should be considered when assessing childhood outcomes.

In a sibling oocyte study conducted in infertile patients 30–39 years of age, oocyte vitrification had minimal negative impact on embryo development and subsequent clinical results.

Estrogen-suppressed in vitro maturation eliminates the need for gonadotropin stimulation and cycle monitoring yet results in a 40% live-birth rate.

Various demographic factors were identified to influence vasectomy prevalence (6.6%), and 19.6% of vasectomized men desired future children, revealing a need for additional counseling on permanent contraceptive methods.

Body mass index correlation with sex hormones is exponential for testosterone and power for sex hormone–binding globulin (SHBG). Bariatric surgery improves all parameters with a higher than expected (for corresponding weight loss) increase of total testosterone and SHBG.

Testicular sperm extraction is justified in patients with cryptozoospermia who fail to conceive by ICSI using ejaculated spermatozoa, as it offers a higher pregnancy rate.

This observational study of sperm DNA fragmentation in men with malignancy presenting for semen cryopreservation compared with men presenting for sperm donation found no difference in sperm DNA fragmentation indices.

This study establishes a simple method for in vitro sperm head decondensation, which allows an accurate detection of real sperm DNA content and direct quantification of diploid sperm.
