BackgroundPrevious studies have suggested a negative impact of asthma on fertility, and it has been hypothesized that the underlying inflammation is playing an important role. However, available data are scarce and mostly refer to women con…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory and oestrogen-dependent disease frequently causing infertility. Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are often required to achieve pregnancy, especially in women with advanced endom…

Study questionWhat is the likelihood of future childbirth in women undergoing unilateral oophorectomy (UO) for benign indications, when compared to age-matched women with intact ovaries?Summary answerA significantly reduced likelihood of fu…

Endometrial disorders, such as infertility and endometriosis, significantly impact reproductive health, thus necessitating better models to study endometrial function. Current in vitro models fail to replicate the complexity of the human en…

Fertility preservation is a novel clinical discipline aiming to protect the fertility potential of young adults and children at risk of infertility. The field is evolving quickly, enriched by advances in assisted reproductive technologies a…

(Abstracted from J Assist Reprod Genet 2019;36:1649–1656) Although endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and 40% of infertile women, the physiological mechanism of how this chronic inflammatory disease affects…

Study questionWhat is the recommended management for women and transgender men with regards to fertility preservation (FP), based on the best available evidence in the literature?Summary answerThe ESHRE Guideline on Female Fertility Preserv…

PurposeTo evaluate implantation potential of cleavage-stage embryos cultured in medium containing 2 ng/ml granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) versus control medium, according to embryo morphological quality and then tr…

The study aimed to investigate if assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment or a diagnosis of infertility were associated with the risk of ovarian cancer or borderline ovarian tumors (BOT) in parous women. In a population-based regis…

PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of symptomatic and surgically confirmed endometriosis on ovarian sensitivity index (OSI) and cumulative live-birth rates (LBR) using predominantly single embryo transfer (SET). METHODS: Cross-sectional cas…

Bowels are the most common site of extrapelvic endometriosis. Still, colonic endometriosis often presents a diagnostic challenge, mimicking a broad spectrum of diseases including primary colonic malignancy. For women of fertile age, the con…

Some studies have suggested that infertility is a risk factor for endometrial, ovarian and breast cancer. The study aimed to create a comprehensive picture of the association between infertility and the risk of ovarian, endometrial and brea…

IntroductionScheduling of ovum pickup only on weekdays may result in cases of apparently suboptimal timing for human chorionic gonadotropin and ovum pickup. This study aimed to assess whether live-birth rates were reduced in women with a po…

In a prospective study, we investigated the impact of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) changes following ovarian cyst surgery on the probability to achieve pregnancy and live birth. Women of reproductive age (n = 60) were included before surger…

Study question: To compare the pregnancy rate in patients submitted to FET (Frozen Embryos Transfer) of cleavage stage embryos (Group 1), or at the blastocyst stage (Group 2). Summary answer: Our data showed that the transfer of frozen blas…
