OBJECTIVE: The etiopathogenesis of endometriosis-related infertility remains under investigation, including in women with endometriomas. Oocyte quality is believed to play an important role in the impairment of natural fertility in these pa…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of possible maternal and paternal prognostic factors and ovarian stimulation protocols on clinical pregnancy and live birth rates in intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles. METHODS: Retrospective observati…

OBJECTIVE: To assess whether follicular fluid (FF) from infertile women with endometriosis in advanced stages [moderate/severe (EIII/IV) without or with endometrioma (Endometrioma)] induce more oocyte damages than in early stages (minimal/m…

Endometriosis-related infertility is associated with oxidative stress (OS). The present study aims to compare serum OS markers of infertile women with endometriosis and controls during the follicular phase of the natural cycle (D1), after p…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Is the transcriptome of cumulus cells of infertile women with advanced endometriosis (EIII/IV), with and without endometrioma, altered? DESIGN: In this prospective case-control study, next-generation RNA sequencing was u…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Is the profile of microRNA (miRNA) altered in cumulus cells of infertile women with early (EI/II) and advanced (EIII/IV) endometriosis? DESIGN: In this prospective case-control study, a miRNA profile including 754 target…

BACKGROUND: Subfertility is a condition found in up to 15% of couples of reproductive age. Gamete micromanipulation, such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), is very useful for treating couples with compromised sperm parameters. An …

PURPOSE: to compare serum markers of oxidative stress between infertile patients with and without endometriosis and to assess the association of these markers with disease staging. METHODS: this was a prospective study conducted on 112 con…
