OBJECTIVES: The objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of male human papillomavirus (HPV) sexually transmitted infection on sperm parameters, embryo morphokinetics, and clinical pregnancy outcomes in assisted reproductive technol…

Mycotoxins are widespread food contaminants, and urinary biomarkers reflect recent dietary exposure. Although mycotoxins have been implicated in reproductive toxicity, their impact on human oocyte and embryo development remains poorly chara…

The polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a multifaced disease of the reproductive age associated with several comorbidities including infertility. Very few documents regarding the management of the infertility in women with PCOS, including g…

OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to evaluate the utility and safety of ancillary maneuvers during oocyte retrieval for patients with endometrioma that makes ovum pick-up hard due to poor ovarian surgical accessibility. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Case…

Genetic anomalies in oocyte maturation present significant fertility and embryonic development challenges. This review explores the intricate mechanisms of nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation, emphasizing the genetic and molecular factors co…

In recent years, the relationship between the microbiota and various aspects of health has become a focal point of scientific investigation. Although the most studied microbiota concern the gastrointestinal tract, recently, the interest has…

Isthmocele is a gynecological condition characterized by a disruption in the uterine scar, often associated with prior cesarean sections. This anatomical anomaly can be attributed to inadequate or insufficient healing of the uterine wall fo…

In eutocic labor, the autonomic nervous system is dominated by the parasympathetic system, which ensures optimal blood flow to the uterus and placenta. This study is focused on the detection of the quantitative presence of catecholamine (C)…

Follitropin delta (Δ) is a recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (rFSH), like natural human FSH, that can stimulate the development and growth of multiple follicles. Treatment with Follitropin-Δ may cause mild to severe adverse rea…

The vaginal microbiota plays a critical role in the health of the female genital tract, and its composition contributes to gynecological disorders and infertility. Lactobacilli are the dominant species in the female genital tract: their pro…

After the controlled ovarian stimulation (COS), the number of cumulus oocyte complexes collected is lower than predicted. The aim of this study is to understand if there is a possible reason for that deficient ovarian response. It was hypot…

Recently a novel method based on horizontal sperm migration in injection dishes has been introduced as an additional tool for preparation of semen sample in assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures. In the present study, we evaluat…
