Prediction of individual probabilities of livebirth and multiple birth events following in vitro fertilization (IVF): a new outcomes counselling tool for IVF providers and patients using HFEA metrics.

·PMID:21991292

In vitro fertilization (IVF) has become a standard treatment for subfertility after it was demonstrated to be of value to humans in 1978. However, the introduction of IVF into mainstream clinical practice has been accompanied by concerns re…

Comprehensive assessment of serum estradiol impact on selected physiologic markers observed during in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer cycles.

·PMID:20485580

ObjectiveThis investigation assessed the effect of serum estradiol levels on outcomes of in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF) cycles.Materials and methodThis was a retrospective cohort study of 1123 IVF cycles comparing impact o…

Luteal phase bleeding after IVF cycles: comparison between progesterone vaginal gel and intramuscular progesterone and correlation with pregnancy outcomes.

·PMID:20485581

BackgroundTo compare luteal phase bleeding and pregnancy outcomes in normogonadotropic patients receiving progesterone vaginal gel (PVG) or intramuscular progesterone (IMP) injections.MethodsIn this retrospective cohort study, data from 270…

Serum estradiol/progesterone ratio on day of embryo transfer may predict reproductive outcome following controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and in vitro fertilization.

doi:10.1186/1743-1050-4-1 ·PMID:17371588

BackgroundTo determine whether estradiol-to-progesterone (E2/P) ratios at the time of embryo transfer (ET) have an effect on implantation and pregnancy in IVF cycles.Methods239 women consecutively treated by IVF or ICSI were retrospectively…

No advantage of laser-assisted over conventional intracytoplasmic sperm injection: a randomized controlled trial [NCT00114725].

doi:10.1186/1743-1050-3-5 ·PMID:16822317

BackgroundIntracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a component of infertility treatment often employed when conventional in vitro fertilization is unlikely to be successful. Despite good clinical results with ICSI, the procedure is typica…

Follicular fluid levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and early corpus luteum function during assisted reproductive technology cycles.

doi:10.1186/1743-1050-2-13 ·PMID:16197554

BackgroundThe relation between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and early luteal function has rarely been proven in humans. The purpose of this study was to define the relation between follicular fluid concentrations of VEGF (FF VE…

Preliminary molecular genetic analysis of the Receptor Interacting Protein 140 (RIP140) in women affected by endometriosis

doi:10.1186/1743-1050-2-11 ·PMID:16131398

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a complex disease affecting 10-15% of women at reproductive age. Very few genes are known to be altered in this pathology. RIP140 protein is an important cofactor of oestrogen receptor and many other nuclear rec…
