BACKGROUND: The purpose of the study was to determine the cut-off values for peripheral and uterine natural killer (pNK, uNK) cells in fertile controls and in women with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). METHODS: In this study, 50 wome…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between progesterone (P4) levels on the day of hCG trigger and IVF outcomes. METHODS: This is a retrospective analysis of IVF cycles from January-2013 to December-2019 from a single center. Women …
Assisted Reproductive technology encompasses all techniques involving ovarian stimulation to produce high-quality oocytes and manipulation of both oocytes and sperm in vitro to produce embryos for the purpose of reproduction. The final matu…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) optimizes endometrial thickness (EMT) and improves live birth rates (LBR) in women with refractory thin endometrium due to varied aetiology during fresh in vitro fertilization (IVF) …
OBJECTIVE: To analyse the outcome of patients with symptomatic arterio-venous malformation (AVM), formed following pregnancy and managed by uterine artery embolization (UAE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted af…
BACKGROUND: Optimal incubation period for oocyte competence remains contentious despite intracytoplasmic sperm injection(ICSI) being in practice for 34 years. Dilemma exists as the current literature favors both early and delayed denudation…
OBJECTIVE: To study donor and recipient factors affecting cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) in oocyte donor IVF (OD- IVF) cycles. METHODS: The present retrospective study was conducted at the ART center of a tertiary care referral hospital…
AIM: The aim is to study the effect of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) administration on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) trigger on the assisted reproductive technique (ART) outcomes in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasm…
BACKGROUND: Empty follicle syndrome (EFS) is a condition in which no oocytes are retrieved from normally growing ovarian follicles after ovarian stimulation. It is a rare and frustrating condition of obscure etiology. OBJECTIVE: The object…
OBJECTIVE: Urinary fistula is a distressing complication after difficult vaginal deliveries, obstetric, and gynecologic surgeries. The present study describes a single center's experience in the management of urinary fistula at a tertiary c…
Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is defined as reduced capacity of the ovaries to produce oocytes; the oocytes produced are of poorer quality leading to the formation of poor quality embryos. The most severe form of DOR can be represented a…
BACKGROUND: Though Assisted Reproductive Techniques have overcome many fertility disorders, implantation is still considered, the rate-limiting step for the success of IVF. AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of endometrial…
BACKGROUND: The effect of elevated levels of serum progesterone (P4) and estradiol (E2) on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin and their cut-off value on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes is still not clear. AIMS: The aim was to ev…
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the following study is to compare the outcome of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in women with endometriosis and tubal-factor infertility. DESIGN: Retrospective study. SETTING: Tertiary refe…
Endosalpingiosis is a rare condition characterised by the presence of tubal epithelium outside the fallopian tube. Most of the previous case reports have described this condition in women in their fifth decade or older. We report a case of …
OBJECTIVE: This study was evaluated the role of perifollicular Doppler blood flow in predicting cycle response in women with and without genital tuberculosis (TB) undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI)…
AIM: The aim of this study was to assess the role of total serum estradiol on the day of injection HCG, estradiol per mature follicle, and estradiol per oocytes retrieved (OR) on clinical pregnancy rate (CPR) and oocyte/embryo quality in as…
OBJECTIVE: To measure the levels of early follicular phase Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) in Indian patients of IVF and to evaluate the AMH as a predictive marker of ovarian response in assisted reproductive technology outcome. METHODS: Sixt…
AIMS: Pregnancies achieved by in vitro fertilization (IVF) are at increased risk of adverse outcome. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of β-human chorionic gonadotrophin (β-HCG) and age of the patient for…
OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to assess the prognostic value of serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (βhCG), measured on day 14 post embryo transfer (ET) for predicting multiple gestation and pregnancy wastage in women undergoing i…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in women with tubercular tubo-ovarian masses. METHODS: Twenty-four women with a confirmed diagnosis of tubercular tubo-ovarian masses underwent MRI. The findings were …
