What is the success rate in terms of ovarian activity (menstrual cycles) as well pregnancy and delivery rates 1 year after orthotopic transplantations conducted a three-country network? In 49 women with follow-up >1 transplantation, ovaries were active 67% cases 33 25%, respectively. Cryopreservation tissue advance cytotoxic therapies later transplantation being performed increasingly often, total have been described case series. However, published series not allowed either more detailed...
Abstract STUDY QUESTION How should recurrent implantation failure (RIF) in patients undergoing ART be defined and managed? SUMMARY ANSWER This is the first ESHRE good practice recommendations paper providing a definition for RIF together with on how to investigate causes contributing factors, improve chances of pregnancy. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY challenge clinic, multitude investigations interventions offered applied clinical practice, often without biological rationale or unequivocal evidence...
Abstract STUDY QUESTION What is the global variability in recurrent implantation failure (RIF) definition, investigation and therapy, currently offered to patients undergoing IVF? SUMAMRY ANSWER Definitions, diagnostic investigations treatments RIF differ widely amongst assisted reproduction healthcare professionals clinical guidelines on are urgently needed. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY affects around 10% of IVF worldwide. There no consensus definition RIF, its or therapeutic options, which leads...
Abstract Purpose Official guideline of the German Society Gynecology and Obstetrics (DGGG), Austrian (ÖGGG) Swiss (SGGG). The aim this was to standardize diagnosis treatment couples with recurrent miscarriage (RM). Recommendations were based on current literature views involved committee members. Methods Based literature, members developed statements recommendations in a formalized process which included DELPHI rounds formal consensus meeting. for patients RM compiled international...
In the mid 1800s Trousseau observed cancer-associated thrombosis, of which underlying pathogenesis still remains unknown. We performed a prospective study on platelet-derived microparticles (PMP) and their procoagulant potential in breast cancer patients. Fifty-eight patients 13 women with benign tumors were included study. Microparticles (MP) examined by electron microscopy FACS analysis using labels for annexin V (total numbers), CD61 (PMP), CD62P CD63 (activated platelets), CD62E...
In this study, we analyzed vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression and survival in a breast cancer patient cohort of 82 patients. Immunohistochemical analysis was possible 91.5% the patients (75/82). Staining evaluated using semi-quantitative assay according to Remmele Stegner (immunoreactivity score [IRS]). IRS 0–1 negative/very low, 2–4 moderate high, 6–12 high. Statistical performed by Spearman’s correlation test ( p<0.05 significant). Overall Kaplan-Meier estimations. Only 6 had negative...
At present, little is known about the clearance of platelet-derived microparticles (PMP) in human blood, as due to ethical considerations infusion experiments with labeled are delicate. Therefore, we investigated kinetics PMP, which abundantly present apheresis platelet concentrates (PC), following transfusion severe thrombocytopenic patients (n=11). PMP were double-stained annexin V and cell-specific antibodies (anti-CD61, anti-CD63 or anti-CD62P, respectively) detected by flow cytometry...
A daily injection of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is often prescribed to women with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), although evidence suggesting a benefit questionable.To determine whether LMWH increases ongoing and live-birth rates in RPL.Controlled, multicenter trial randomization using minimization conducted from 2006 2013. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00400387).14 university hospitals perinatal care centers Germany Austria.449 at least 2 consecutive early miscarriages or 1...
<b>Introduction:</b> Infertile couples often report quality-of-life impairments, especially in terms of sexuality, self-esteem and partnership quality. So far, there have been no systematic studies the sex lives behaviour infertile women men before after emergence their mutual desire for a child. <b>Materials Methods:</b> From February 2010 to August all starting treatment either at Heidelberg University's Women's Hospital or Fertility Center Berlin were asked fill out Self-Esteem...
Problem Uterine natural killer (uNK) cells are major players during implantation and early pregnancy. The aim of our study was to analyze uNK cell concentration in the endometrium idiopathic recurrent miscarriage (iRM) patients fertile controls. Method Out n=130 couples with ≥3 consecutive, clinical RM screened according a standardized diagnostic protocol, n=58 iRM were identified. Endometrial biopsies investigated n=17 women (controls) via immunohistochemistry. Results Compared controls,...
In contrast to the former notion of a sterile womb, sequencing techniques have proven bacterial colonization uterus. However, timing microbiota analysis regarding possible intra-cycle variations as well specific alterations in patients with recurrent miscarriage (RM) or implantation failure (RIF) remain unknown. total, n = 20 RM-, RIF-patients and 10 healthy controls were included this prospective study. every subject, uterine flushing was performed during follicular, ovulatory luteal phase....
In comparison to age-matched men, young women are at increased risk suffer from venous thromboembolism (VTE). Some factors of inherited and acquired thrombophilia known, but approximately 30% the overall remains unexplained. Recently, a role for microparticles (MP) in coagulation has been suggested. We investigated, if gender- menstrual cycle-specific differences circulating MP exist. Platelet- endothelial cell-derived (PMP, EMP) subpopulations thereof were evaluated flow-cytometrically...
