Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is considered to be one of the most significant indicators women's fertility. Many studies have shown that vitamin D may modify human reproductive functions; however, results are conflicting. The composition follicular fluid (FF) creates biochemical environment oocyte and affects its quality, which later determines embryo quality. In this study, we aimed revise with advanced statistical techniques relationship between AMH in FF.The study was designed as a...

Myelomeningocele (MMC) constitutes the most common congenital defect of central nervous system, with no satisfactory alternative to postnatal treatment. Prenatal repair MMC is aimed at protecting from a Chiari type II malformation. The main goal fetal improve development and quality life in children Management Study (MOMS), which was published 2011, confirmed effectiveness prenatal surgery. In this paper, we compared MOMS results our own clinical experience. Owing high significant...

Environmental factors may negatively contribute to a progressive worsening of semen quality, and differences in quality result from different environmental exposures (regional differences) or lifestyle differences. Heavy metals are with confirmed negative influence on male fertility. Among them, lead cadmium commonly found human surroundings. Thus, we analyzed parameters (according the World Health Organization 2010 recommendations) concentrations 188 men two regions Poland, typical...

Vulvar cancer accounts for about 3-5% of all female genital carcinomas.TGF-` protein is a member superfamily cytokines that regulate cell functions.A correlation between this and many neoplastic processes was reported. Objectives: In our study we analyzed TGF-` expression in vulvar tumor among patients with diagnosed squamous carcinoma (with without inguinal nodes metastases).Material methods: Paraffin embedded blocks obtained from tissues (from 31 FIGO II-IV) were prepared.Next, the...

Introduction: Changes in sex hormone secretions during the menstrual cycle may affect fertility. It has been shown that a prematurely raised progesterone (P4) level after therapeutic injection of human chorionic gonadotropin caused changes endometrial gene expression and lowered pregnancy rate. The aim present study was to investigate complete patterns P4 together with its derivatives testosterone (T) oestradiol (E2) subfertile women their natural cycles.
