STUDY QUESTIONWhat is the impact of ovarian response on cumulative live birth rates (LBR) following utilization all fresh and frozen embryos in women undergoing their first stimulation cycle, planned to undergo single embryo transfer (SET).
STUDY QUESTIONWhat is the effect of natural cycle IVF in women with poor ovarian response according to new ESHRE definition for responders: Bologna criteria?
Abstract The prolonged lockdown of health services providing high-complexity fertility treatments –as currently recommended by many reproductive medicine entities– is detrimental for society as a whole, and infertility patients in particular. Globally, approximately 0.3% all infants born every year are conceived using assisted technology (ART) treatments. By contrast, the total number COVID-19 deaths reported so far represents 1.0% expected to occur worldwide over first three months current...
Is oral dydrogesterone 30 mg daily non-inferior to 8% micronized vaginal progesterone (MVP) gel 90 for luteal phase support in IVF? Oral demonstrated non-inferiority MVP the presence of fetal heartbeats at 12 weeks gestation (non-inferiority margin 10%). The standard care IVF is use MVP; however, it associated with irritation, discharge and poor patient compliance. may replace as if found be efficacious an acceptable safety profile. Lotus II was a randomized, open-label, multicenter, Phase...
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven language models have the potential to serve as an educational tool, facilitate clinical decision-making, and support research academic writing. The benefits of their use are yet be evaluated concerns been raised regarding accuracy, transparency, ethical implications using this AI technology in publishing. At moment, Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) is one most powerful widely debated models. Here, we discuss its feasibility answer...
Abstract STUDY QUESTION Do ongoing pregnancy rates (OPRs) differ in predicted hyperresponders undergoing ART after IVM of oocytes compared with conventional ovarian stimulation (OS) for IVF/ICSI? SUMMARY ANSWER One cycle is non-inferior to one OS women serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels ≥10 ng/ml. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Women high antral follicle count and elevated AMH levels, indicating an increased functional reserve, are prone hyperresponse during treatment. To avoid iatrogenic...
Are low serum progesterone levels on the day of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) administration detrimental for live birth delivery rates during in vitro fertilization (IVF)?Progesterone ≤0.5 ng/ml hCG hinder rates.Fundamental research has shown that presence late follicular phase is essential development, ovulation and endometrial receptivity. However, previous studies patients undergoing ovarian stimulation have only assessed if higher range are pregnancy or not. That said, information...
Are clinical pregnancy rates satisfactory and the incidence of OHSS low after GnRH agonist trigger modified intensive luteal support in patients with a high risk ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)? combined 1500 IU hCG at time oocyte retrieval subsequent estradiol progesterone replacement high-risk can facilitate fresh embryo transfer severe OHSS. Conventional packages are inadequate to trigger. A dose (1500 IU) aspiration be used replace actions early LH sustain implantation function...
Is there any association between serum 25-OH vitamin D levels and ovarian reserve markers in infertile women? Vitamin is not associated with the markers, anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) antral follicle count (AFC), women. The mechanism underlying relationship deficiency reproduction still unclear; however, evidence indicates a potential direct negative impact on function. This mainly due to fact that gonadal function may be altered by deficiency, as observed expression of receptor mRNA human...
Is elevated late-follicular phase progesterone (EP) associated with a deleterious impact on embryo quality (EQ) and cumulative live birth rates (LBRs)?EP was decrease in utilization LBRs.Ovarian stimulation promotes the production of (P) which adversely affects IVF pregnancy outcomes. However, evidence regarding potential association between EP an EQ is lacking.A retrospective analysis all GnRH antagonist down-regulated ICSI cycles followed by fresh transfer (ET) 2010 2015 performed. The...
Is the effect of cell loss on further cleavage and implantation different for vitrified than slowly frozen Day 3 embryos?Vitrified embryos develop better overnight embryos, regardless number cells lost, but have similar potential if occurs overnight.After slow-freezing, rates been obtained intact 4-cell or with 1 damaged. For lower observed when at least 25% were lost. Other studies reported 7- to 8-cell 0, 2 No data are available development in relation damage.Survival retrospectively...
Is natural cycle frozen-thawed embryo transfer (NC-FET) associated with better clinical pregnancy rates (CPR) when compared to modified (mNC-FET)?NC-FET is a higher CPR mNC-FET.There conflicting evidence regarding the impact of hCG triggering on outcomes after (FET), and information effect luteal phase support (LPS) lacking.This retrospective study included all (n = 2353) consecutive cycles FET vitrified cleavage blastocyst stage embryos warmed between January 2010 April 2015 in tertiary...
