ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of COVID-19 vaccination (AstraZeneca® and CoronaVac®) on anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels in threatened women.MethodsRetrospective cohort study evaluating serum AMH before and up to three vaccination dose…

ObjectivesLuteinizing hormone (LH) plays a key role in normal follicular development and oocyte maturation in controlled ovarian stimulation. LH stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of theca cells for the secretion of androgens,…

ObjectiveSingle nucleotide variants have been implicated in the response to fertility treatment and a pharmacogenomic approach may help to customize therapy based on patient genome. We aimed to evaluate the effect, individual and combined, …

Background: Homocysteine levels can be impacted by enzymes variations. Aim: To correlate MTHFR, MTR and MTRR variants with homocysteine levels in the blood and follicular fluid and assisted reproduction results. Material & methods: MTHFR (r…

Free radicals and oxidant molecules are part of our organism in a stable balance. However, when addressing female infertility, questions about their role in oocyte quality arise. This review outlines the major alterations of redox homeostas…

Background Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) FSHB :c.-211G>T, FSHR :c.919G>A, and FSHR :c.2039G>A were reported to be associated with the variability in FSH and LH levels, and in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. In this study, w…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a disease with an unknown pathogenesis that can lead to infertility. Endometrial polyps, fibroids, and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) have relatively high frequency and are causes of infertility. We hypothes…

PURPOSE: to evaluate the frequency of VDR gene polymorphism Fok1 in infertile women with endometriosis and Control and its relation to the disease. METHODS: a case-control study that included 147 infertile women with endometriosis and 154 f…

OBJECTIVE: To describe the evolution of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in women with recurrent ovarian endometriomas treated with sclerotherapy. METHODS: Twenty-one patients with a laparoscopic diagnosis of stage III or IV endometriosi…

PURPOSE: to evaluate the frequency and clinical picture of patients with incisional endometriosis. METHODS: retrospective descriptive study performed from the medical records of patients that underwent nodules resection in the surgical scar…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition in which tissue that is histologically similar to the endometrium with glands and/or stroma grows outside the uterine cavity and can lead to pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and infertility. Many a…

PURPOSE: to evaluate the ovarian reserve of infertile patients with severe ovarian endrometriosis, submitted to excisional surgery of endometriomas and attended from February to November, 2008. METHODS: prospective study, including 30 patie…

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Serological testing for CA125 has been widely used to detect endometriosis and to monitor its progression. However, controversy still exists regarding the usefulness of the plasma CA125 assay for diagnosing endometrio…

Background: The relationship between frequency and severity of pain symptoms and site, stage and morphological characteristics of endometriotic lesions was analysed in a multicentre cross-sectional observational study. Methods: A total of 4…
