We evaluated whether serum stem cell factor (s-SCF) levels just prior to ovulation induction could indicate the ability to develop a top-quality (TQ) blastocyst by day 5. We investigated patients with normal ovarian reserve (NOR), polycysti…

A retrospective case control study was undertaken at the molecular biology department of a private center for reproductive medicine in order to determine whether any correlation exists between mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content of cleavage-s…

Abstract Study question To evaluate the correlation between the serum level of stem cell factor (s-SCF) during the stimulation and results of embryo culture. Summary answer The serum SCF concentration at the stimulation stage may be a poten…

The strategy of in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures relies on the increasing pregnancy rate and decreasing the risk of premature ovulation and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. They are also designed to avoid weekend oocyte retrievals.…

ObjectiveThe aim of our study was to determine whether serum dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEAS) concentration and the models incorporating it could help clinicians to predict IVF outcomes in women with normal ovarian reserve undergoing…

The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinical pregnancy and live birth rates in women with extremely low (≤ 0.4 ng/ml) anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentrations. The study included 101 women (188 cycles) with extremely low …

There is an evidence that increased capillary permeability in the standing position is related to a deficit in the sympathetic nervous system. The leakage of this fluid leads to various clinical conditions which frequently puzzle the consul…
