The prognostic capacity of transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy to predict non-IVF conception
Reproductive biomedicine online ·doi:10.1016/j.rbmo.2018.01.012

Transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy (THL) is performed to investigate tubal pathology in subfertile women. This retrospective multicentre cohort study investigated the results of THL and subsequent pregnancy rates. Between 2000 and 2011, 1033 sub…

A randomized controlled, non-inferiority trial of modified natural versus artificial cycle for cryo-thawed embryo transfer.
Human reproduction (Oxford, England) ·doi:10.1093/humrep/dew120

Study questionAre live birth rates (LBRs) after artificial cycle frozen-thawed embryo transfer (AC-FET) non-inferior to LBRs after modified natural cycle frozen-thawed embryo transfer (mNC-FET)?Summary answerAC-FET is non-inferior to mNC-FE…

Performance of outpatient transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/dew161

STUDY QUESTION: What is the feasibility of performing transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy (THL) in an outpatient setting? SUMMARY ANSWER: It is feasible to perform THL in an outpatient setting, reflected by a low complication and failure rate and…

Prevention of multiple pregnancies in couples with unexplained or mild male subfertility: randomised controlled trial of in vitro fertilisation with single embryo transfer or in vitro fertilisation in modified natural cycle compared with intrauterine insemination with controlled ovarian hyperstimulation.
BMJ (Clinical research ed.) ·doi:10.1136/bmj.g7771

ObjectivesTo compare the effectiveness of in vitro fertilisation with single embryo transfer or in vitro fertilisation in a modified natural cycle with that of intrauterine insemination with controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in terms of a…

The LIFESTYLE study: costs and effects of a structured lifestyle program in overweight and obese subfertile women to reduce the need for fertility treatment and improve reproductive outcome. A randomised controlled trial
BMC women's health ·doi:10.1186/1472-6874-10-22

BACKGROUND: In the Netherlands, 30% of subfertile women are overweight or obese, and at present there is no agreement on fertility care for them. Data from observational and small intervention studies suggest that reduction of weight will i…

The ESEP study: salpingostomy versus salpingectomy for tubal ectopic pregnancy; the impact on future fertility: a randomised controlled trial.
BMC women's health ·doi:10.1186/1472-6874-8-11

BackgroundFor most tubal ectopic pregnancies (EP) surgery is the treatment of first choice. Whether surgical treatment should be performed conservatively (salpingostomy) or radically (salpingectomy) in women wishing to preserve their reprod…

Prognostic capacity of transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy to predict spontaneous pregnancy
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/del501

BACKGROUND: In 1998, transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy (THL) was introduced as a new outpatient procedure for exploration of tubo-ovarian structures and tubal patency in subfertile patients. At present, there are no large studies that relate th…

Adhesion of menstrual endometrium to extracellular matrix: the possible role of integrin alpha(6)beta(1) and laminin interaction
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/6.2.170

Previous in-vitro studies have shown that the endometrium preferentially adheres to the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the amnion and peritoneum. This interaction probably involves adhesion molecules, e.g. integrins. We evaluated the express…

Adhesion of human endometrium to the epithelial lining and extracellular matrix of amnion in vitro: an electron microscopic study
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/13.8.2275

One of the first steps in the pathogenesis of endometriosis is the attachment of the endometrium to the peritoneal lining. Since the peritoneum is extremely fragile and hard to obtain, amnion has been used as an in-vitro model to study adhe…

Evaluation of a menstrual cup to collect shed endometrium for in vitro studies
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(97)00250-1

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether a menstrual cup is a suitable instrument to collect antegradely shed endometrium for in vitro studies. DESIGN: A prospective, descriptive, cell biological and immunohistochemical study. SETTING: Tertiary car…
