Abstract Context: Women with breast cancer are not typically offered embryo or oocyte cryopreservation to preserve their fertility before chemotherapy because of the potential risks associated high estrogen levels arising from ovarian stimulation. Objective: We aimed determine whether combination an aromatase inhibitor gonadotropin treatment in patients produces comparable results standard vitro fertilization (IVF), without a significant increase estradiol and delay initiation chemotherapy....

Abstract STUDY QUESTION What are the perceptions of infertility patients and factors correlating with their psychological distress, following suspension fertility treatments during Corona Virus Disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic? SUMMARY ANSWER Most preferred to resume treatment given chance regardless background characteristics; higher self-mastery greater perceived social support were associated lower while feeling helpless was distress. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Infertility diagnosis frequently...

Does prior severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in women undergoing fertility treatments affect the outcomes of fresh ART cycles?SARS-CoV-2 does not treatment outcomes, except for a possible long-term negative effect on oocyte yield (>180 days postinfection).A single previous study suggested no evidence that history asymptomatic or mild SARS-CoV-2 females caused impairment outcomes.Retrospective cohort study, including all infected who underwent cycles...

The development of covid-19 vaccinations represents a notable scientific achievement. Nevertheless, concerns have been raised regarding their possible detrimental impact on male fertility OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect BNT162b2 (Pfizer) vaccine semen parameters among donors (SD).Thirty-seven SD from three sperm banks that provided 216 samples were included in retrospective longitudinal multicenter cohort study. vaccination two doses, and completion was scheduled 7 days after second...

To evaluate the effect of local injury to endometrium during spontaneous menstrual cycles before in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment on implantation and pregnancy rates women with recurrent failure (RIF).In a prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT), total 36 patients, RIF undergoing IVF, were two groups. In 18 endometrial biopsies performed using pipelle curette days 9-12 21-24 cycle preceding IVF treatment. control cervical was performed.The rate (2.08% versus 11.11%; p = 0.1),...

Cumulus expansion and oocyte maturation are central processes in ovulation. Knowledge gained from rodent other mammalian models has revealed some of the molecular pathways associated with these processes. However, equivalent humans have not been thoroughly studied remain unidentified. Compact cumulus cells (CCs) germinal vesicle complexes (COCs) were obtained patients undergoing vitro (IVM) procedures. Expanded CCs metaphase 2 COC IVF/ICSI. Global transcriptome profiles samples using...

The luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) plays a pivotal role during follicular development. Consequently, its expression pattern is of major importance for research and has clinical implications. Despite the accumulated information regarding LHR patterns, our understanding in human ovary, specifically at protein level, incomplete. Therefore, aim was to determine localization ovary. We examined presence by immunohistochemical staining ovaries western blots mural granulosa cumulus cells...

Does Bisphenol A (BPA) impair steroid hormone production in human luteinized granulosa cells vitro? At supra-physiological concentrations, BPA alters progesterone and estradiol synthesis vitro significantly reduces the mRNA protein expression levels of three genes encoding steroidogenesis enzymes. In IVF patients, effects exposure on cycle outcome are controversial. Previous animal studies have shown that cell is compromised after exposure, but their findings been difficult to replicate...

Research questionWhat are the views and emotional reactions of patients towards suspension fertility treatment during COVID-19 pandemic, what factors affecting their psychological distress?DesignA cross-sectional study conducted in an academic centre. Online questionnaires were distributed between 18 April 2020 23 to whose cycle had been postponed or discontinued. The outcome measures included agreement with reproductive society guidelines postpone treatments; willingness resume treatments,...

Cryopreservation of ovarian tissue is currently practiced in an attempt to preserve fertility before commencing potentially sterilizing chemotherapy. Clinical and laboratory guidelines are needed standardize the procedure. Over last 10 years was stored female patients with hematologic malignancies. Patients' records consultation charts were evaluated, surgical reports revised histology investigated. Fifty-six malignancies (age 24 ± 5.5) had cryopreserved tissue. Thirty-three Hodgkin's...
