Classical ovulation induction is an effective therapy for women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Women with a poor treatment prognosis can be identified according to age, duration of infertility, and body mass index.

This study adds to the increasing body of evidence that cryopreservation protocols vary in their impact upon the oocyte.

The side population method was used to isolate and identify putative tumor-initiating leiomyoma stem cells as demonstrated by their ability to differentiate in vitro and reconstruct leiomyoma tissue in vivo.

Almost half of the general public supports posthumous reproduction. Age, education, income, political party, currently attempting conception, supporting in vitro fertilization, and organ donation were all associated with support.

PDCD-4 is unexpectedly elevated in leiomyomas, but normal myometrium does not express the protein; the expected inverse correlation of microRNA-21 and its target PDCD-4 is absent in fibroids.

Ovarian function was restored and pregnancy achieved in a woman who had previously undergone bilateral oophorectomy for benign disease and in whom frozen-thawed ovarian cortex was subsequently autotransplanted.

Proteomic analysis of neurotrophins within the functional layer of the endometrium identified two factors that are expressed differentially in the eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis compared to controls.

In this systematic review and meta-analysis of case-control studies, we found a small but statistically significant effect of early menarche on endometriosis risk when potential confounders are adequately controlled for.

Symptom-based models predict any-stage endometriosis poorly and stage III and IV disease accurately. A tool based on such models can help prioritise women for surgical investigation.

This study suggests that Duarte1 and Duarte2 genotypes do not appear to play a role in the association from galactose intake, possible ovarian dysfunction, and the link with ovarian cancer.

Nulliparous women and women with a history of infertility who conceive a singleton after infertility treatment may be at increased risk for having a low-birthweight infant.

Current preimplantation screening results with array comparative genomic hybridization indicatea significant decrease in the miscarriage rate of idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss patients. Furthermore, this confirms that idiopathic recurrent miscarriage is mostly caused by chromosomal abnormalities in embryos.

This study investigated the incidence of failed hCG administration as evidenced by negative serum β-hCG after initial trigger injection, and the ability to salvage such cycles through repeat administration of hCG before retrieval.

This retrospective analysis showed that premature progesterone rise (PPR) impaired in vitro fertilization outcomes in fresh embryo transfer, whereas no negative impact on frozen embryo transfer was observed, implying deleterious effects of PPR on endometrial receptivity.

While AFC and age are predictive of live birth following IVF treatment, AFC demonstrates a stronger positive correlation. This study illustrates post-test probabilities of live birth at individual AFC thresholds.

The embryo's cleavage pattern provides valuable supplementary information to the standard evaluation for selecting embryos by cleavage rate and fragmentation, enhancing the likelihood for successful implantation.

Using a novel, paired study design, this RCT demonstrates that blastocysts derived from previously vitrified oocytes are not at an increased risk of aneuploidy and have equivalent reproductive potential.

This study suggests that in thalassemic men, blood transfusion is associated with significant acute enhancement of sperm parameters and increased concentrations of serum T, LH, FSH, and IGF-1.

PICSI and Sperm Slow allow comparable clinical efficiency in selecting HA-bound spermatozoa.

This study was intended to compare the effects of NAC and EP on experimental testicular I/R injury. The NAC therapy may be regarded as a relatively more effective treatment than EP.

A novel role of the opioid system in the regulation of sperm function is demonstrated that shows that both exogenous and endogenous met-enkephalin can modulate sperm motility.

Voluntary participation in this external quality control program improved overall performance of semen analysis. Surprisingly,

It is recommended that practitioners defer gamete donors who have confirmed or suspected West Nile virus infections.

The purpose of this document is to summarize the current therapies for endometriosis.

In vitro co-culture of CD49f+ with Sertoli cells from TESE, obtained in azoospermic patients, promotes meiosis progression as demonstrated by SCP3 and CREST staining and generation of haploid cells.

The article outlines current understanding of the etiology of adenomyosis and the role of the myometrium, and outlines how MRI and transvaginal ultrasound have enhanced our understanding of the disease.

Deep endometriosis remains a subject of debate. A comprehensive overview of the definition, pathophysiology, prevalence, classification, diagnosis, and treatment was therefore attempted.

Surgery has a fundamental role to play in the treatment of endometriomas. Considerable surgical experience is required, however, to minimize ovarian damage.

Many pharmacological groups were tested in in vitro/animal models of endometriosis and a smaller number of them were tried in humans. A few alternatives for the treatment of this disease can now be considered.

NF-kB activation upregulates 18 inflammation and cell proliferation and inhibits apoptosis of 19 endometriotic cells. Iron overload-mediated NF-kB activation is postulated as a mechanism 20 favoring endometriosis development.

Endometriosis is an inflammatory, estrogen-dependent condition associated with pelvic pain and infertility. This work reviews the disease process from theories regarding origin to the molecular basis for disease sequelae.

Endometriosis prevalence is as high as 35%-50% in women experiencing pain or infertility. This "Views and Reviews" is devoted to the pathogenesis and treatment of this enigmatic disease.
