To assess the relation between oocytes yield including total retrieved oocytes (O)c and total mature oocytes (MII) relative to the antral follicular count (AFC) (3-9 mm in diameter) and relative to anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) ng/mL level: …
Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is an undefined, quite often, clinical phenomenon that can result from the repeated failure of embryo transfers to obtain a viable pregnancy. Careful clinical evaluation prior to assisted reproduction ca…
Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), defined as two to three spontaneous pregnancy terminations occurring before 12 weeks of gestation, affects approximately 1% of the general population. The causes may include congenital factors that originate …
We report our experience regarding the profile and screening process of potential recipients (R) and their live donors (D) in our Uterus transplantation (UTx) trial from 2014 to 2020. The initial screening was performed using medical questi…
Endometriosis - a disease causing pain and infertility - is encountered in nearly 50% of infertile women. While medical treatment is effective on pain and recurrence of symptoms after surgical excision, it is of no help for treating inferti…
Ovarian stimulation (OS) has for objective to induce multiple ovulation in order to yield a multiple oocyte harvest and offer multiple embryos available for transfer thereby increasing the efficacy of ART. Originally, the primary risk assoc…
OBJECTIVE: To study the prevalence of oligo-anovulation in women suffering from endometriosis compared to that of women without endometriosis. DESIGN: A single-center, cross-sectional study. SETTING: University hospital-based research cen…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between endometriosis end chronic endometritis (CE) diagnosed by hysteroscopy, conventional histology, and immunohistochemistry. DESIGN: Case-control study. SETTING: University hospital. PATIENT(S):…
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether endometriosis ultimately results in an increased risk of embryonic aneuploidy. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort. SETTING: Infertility clinic. PATIENT(S): Patients participating in an in vitro fertilization (IV…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of assisted reproduction technology (ART) on painful symptoms and quality of life (QoL) in women who have endometriosis as compared with disease-free women. DESIGN: Prospective controlled, observational co…
The authors review aberrations of uterine anatomy and physiology affecting pregnancy outcomes with IVF. In the case of endometriosis and hydrosalpinx, pathologies outside of the uterus alter the uterine endometrium. In the case of endometri…
Surgery for bladder endometriosis: long-term results and concomitant management of associated posterior deep lesions
study question: Are interleukin-33 (IL-33) serum levels higher in women with uterine leiomyoma compared with controls without leiomyoma? summaryanswer: Serum IL-33 is elevated inwomenwith uterine leiomyoma and correlatedwith features of ute…
BACKGROUND: Assisted reproductive technology is one of the therapeutic options offered for managing endometriosis-associated infertility. Yet, published data on assisted reproductive technology outcome in women affected by endometriosis are…

OBJECTIVE: To study possible associations among endometriosis, pelvic infectious disease, and ART. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort analysis over 4 consecutive years, based on medical records and insurance coding in a tertiary endometriosis re…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the alterations in endometrial waves (EW) originating from the contraction of the subendometrial myometrial layer in the periovulatory and midluteal phases in women diagnosed with chronic endometritis (CE). DESIGN: C…
OBJECTIVES: The identification of epidemiological factors increasing the risk of endometriosis could shorten the time to diagnosis. Specific blood groups may be more common in patients with endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: We designed a cross-…
INTRODUCTION: Adenomyosis, characterized by the infiltration of the myometrium by ectopic endometrial islets, is a common condition that causes dysmenorrhea, abnormal uterine bleeding and infertility. Different treatment options exist, incl…
Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is defined as 3 or more miscarriages before 20 weeks' pregnancy. In recent years, interest has been focused on chronic endometritis (CE), a subtle inflammation thought to be associated with RM. We aimed to evaluat…
OBJECTIVES: To assess interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and its inhibitory soluble interleukin-1 receptor type II (IL-1sRII) levels into the serum of patients with various forms of endometriosis and normal women, and investigate the correlation with d…
OBJECTIVE: The pathogenesis of endometriosis is associated with an inflammatory process. Here, we assessed if the levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in serum could constitute an effective method for detecting systemic in…
