The impact of advancing age on uterine receptiveness has always been a concern the medical establishment. Oocyte donation (OD) is perfect model for ascertaining extent this relationship, but literature somewhat unreliable, mainly due to limited samples which studies are based and insufficient control important variables such as embryo quality.The present work was developed in private infertility clinic.We retrospectively evaluate results 3089 OD cycles that ended up d 3 transfer. Severe male...
For a woman with infertility and overweight/obesity, can treatment be postponed to first promote weight loss?Advice regarding delay in IVF optimize female should consider age, particularly women over 38 years for whom only substantial loss short period of time (3 months) seems provide any benefit.Body excess advanced age are both common findings infertile patients, creating the dilemma whether or proceed fertility immediately. Despite their known impact on fertility, studies assessing...
Cigarette smoking has long been known to have an effect on female fertility. The existence of ovarian factor is clear when one considers that the mean age menopause lower and IVF cycle outcome worse in heavy smokers. hypothesis a concomitant uterine raised by indirect evidence from vitro vivo studies, but as yet, no direct gained confirm its existence. In this work, we analyse association between habit oocyte recipients outcome.We retrospectively analysed all donation cycles performed our...
Time-lapse monitoring (TLM) technology has been implemented in the clinical setting for culture and selection of human embryos. Many studies have assessed association between sperm DNA fragmentation (sDNAf) outcomes after ART, but little is known about influence sDNA on embryo morphokinetics.The objective this retrospective study, which includes 971 embryos from 135 consecutive ICSI cycles (56 cases with own oocytes, 79 oocytes young healthy donors), was to assess if sDNAf an impact...
Abstract STUDY QUESTION How does a natural proliferative phase (NPP) strategy for frozen embryo transfer (FET) compare with the conventional artificial (AC) and (NC) endometrial preparation protocols in terms of live birth rates (LBR)? SUMMARY ANSWER This study supports hypothesis that, just as NC, NPP-FET may be superior alternative to AC LBR. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Although FETs are increasing worldwide, optimal FET protocol is still largely controversial. Despite recent evidence supporting...
A total of 88 Fallopian tubes from 44 patients was examined with hysterosalpingo contrast sonography (HyCoSy), hysterosalpingogram (HSG), and laparoscopic chromopertubation (LC) in order to assess their relative accuracy for measuring tubal patency. HyCoSy done by transvaginal ultrasound the SH U 454 (Echovist). The flow multiple fractions medium through each tube observed real time appropriate imaging planes means a probe. Compared results, we found sensitivity 85.2%, specificity positive...
BACKGROUND: Serum biochemical markers [free βhCG (fβhCG); pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A)] used in first trimester Down's syndrome screening have not been fully investigated pregnancies achieved by assisted reproduction techniques. We present data on conceived all types of techniques, including following ovum donation (OD) and a large sample ICSI. METHODS: First was performed 1054 normal singleton pregnancies: natural conception (n=498), ovulation induction (OS, n=97), IVF...
Are there differences in the clinical outcomes of IUI among different populational groups (heterosexual couples, single women and lesbian couples)?The outcome donor (D-IUI) is similar all better than that seen with autologous insemination.A vast body literature on available for counselling heterosexual couples regarding decisions related to ART. The reproductive potential women, who need semen assumed be better, but a scarcity data their ART performance actually confirm it.In this...
BACKGROUND: Ovarian orthotopic transplantation in patients with premature ovarian failure is reported to result full-term pregnancies. Ischaemia and freezing/thawing are potentially injurious for tissues. This study was designed analyse the effect of ischaemia on long-term function humans. METHODS: Prospective case–control study. Subjects were 12 premenopausal women undergoing hysterectomy fresh entire cortex plus a control group five only. Follow-up lasted 2 years. Serum FSH anti-Müllerian...
Breast cancer is the most common in young women. Fortunately current survival rates of BC are significant which makes future fertility very important for quality life survivors. Chemotherapy carries a risk infertility patients so it to support preservation decisions premenopausal Amenorrhea has long been used as surrogate marker but more reliable ovarian reserve (OR) markers available. This study aimed prospectively measure levels OR cohort women with breast exposed chemotherapy, identify...
Do children born after vitrified-thawed embryo transfers (ETs) using donated oocytes have worse perinatal outcomes when compared with fresh ET?No significant difference in birthweight and prematurity rates between or frozen (FETs) newborns oocyte donation was found.Autologous singletons ET been previously associated higher of preterm birth low birthweight, while FETs seem to confer a risk hypertensive disorders during pregnancy macrosomia. However, studies comparing these autologous are...
The goal of this article is to present a thorough review the literature concerning relationship between cigarette smoking and IVF cycle outcome, as well possible mechanisms through which tobacco constituents affect these cycles. Cigarette smoke affects spermatozoa structure function; sperm DNA damaged by compounds. Spermatozoa from smokers have reduced fertilizing capacity embryos display lower implantation rates. Ovarian aging accelerated in oocyte number maturation are negatively affected...
Colloidal super-paramagnetic microbeads conjugated with annexin V are effective for separating apoptotic spermatozoa by MACS as a result of the high affinity externalized PS molecules. The effectiveness procedure in reducing percentage sperm fragmented DNA and abnormal morphology has also been reported. However, it is still unknown if could decrease aneuploid spermatozoa. objective our prospective study, performed on 16 males FISH spermatozoa, was to assess columns were useful tools retain...
