OBJECTIVE: This retrospective study determined for the first time the role of baseline antral follicle count (AFC) and serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) level in the first in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycle in predicting cumulative live bi…

PURPOSE: Analysis of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is becoming of recognized importance in reproductive medicine, but assays are not standardized. We have evaluated the correlation between the new Gen II ELISA kit (Beckman-Coutler) and the o…

Ectopic pregnancy (EP) occurs when the embryo fails to transit to the uterus and attach to the luminal epithelium of the Fallopian tube (FT). Tubal EP is a common gynecological emergency and more than 95% of EP occurs in the ampullary regio…

Endometriosis, the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, is a common gynecological disorder affecting 10% to 15% of women in their reproductive years. Retrograde menstrual shedding containing endometrial stem/progenitor c…

Acupuncture is increasingly being used in reproductive medicine. This review summarizes the evidence of acupuncture in pain relief for oocyte retrieval, improving pregnancy outcomes of in vitro fertilization treatment, management of ovulati…

Introduction: Endometriosis, defined as the growth of endometrial tissue outside \nthe uterine cavity is a common gynaecological disorder affecting 10-15% \nof women in their reproductive years. It is a major clinical problem causing in- \n…

Previous studies have shown that the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is critical for the development and growth of transplanted endometriosis-like lesions in mouse model systems. The angiogenic response induced by an…

OBJECTIVE: To study the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), endocrine gland-derived VEGF (EG-VEGF/PK1), and its receptors (PKR1 and PKR2) in eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissues. DESIGN: A case-control study. SETTI…

Ultrasound examination of the endometrium is a commonly used non-invasive method to assess endometrial receptivity during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. A good blood supply towards the endometrium is usually considered to be an ess…

PURPOSE: To compare the effectiveness of three different doses of lignocaine used in paracervical block (PCB) during transvaginal ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval (TUGOR) METHODS: In this double-blind study, 153 patients undergoing TUGOR …

BACKGROUND: There is no consensus as to whether uterine fibroids have any adverse effects on the outcomes of assisted reproduction treatment. This prospective study compared implantation/pregnancy rates of women with and without fibroids un…
