This review aimed to look into agents and mechanisms characterized as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). These agents are known to cause several harmful effects to the reproductive system of women and wildlife. There is a wide range of …

Endometriosis is a highly prevalent disease among women of reproductive age and is frequently associated to infertility. However, the mechanisms underlying endometriosis-related infertility are still not completely known. Several studies ha…

OBJECTIVE: Given that the embryo culture medium secretome reflects the embryo development, we hypothesize that protein profiles are affected according to infertility factors, which can be responsible for detrimental embryonic developmental …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to describe the miscarriage rates and the factors associated with cases of spontaneous abortion observed in women offered intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). METHODS: This cross-sectional study enr…

IUI has been practiced for five decades but only three unconvincing trials attempted to demonstrate the superiority of IUI over sexual intercourse (SI). In the absence of evidence of its effectiveness, the National Institute for Clinical Ex…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the association between subclinical hypothyroidism and thyroid autoantibodies with clinical pregnancy rate after intrauterine insemination (IUI) in euthyroid women. METHODS: In this prospective cohor…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify which parameters positively affect the clinical pregnancy rates of IUI cycles and find which couples should opt for IUI. METHODS: This retrospective observational study included 261 patients submitte…

ObjectiveTo evaluate whether or not one should use a new Protocol for Endometrial Receptivity Improvement (PRIMER) based on platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and granulocyte colony-stimulation factor (G-CSF) to enhance ongoing pregnancy rates in p…

OBJECTIVE: To study which factors affect perinatal outcomes in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. METHODS: Data was obtained from 402 live births born to 307 patients undergoing ICSI cycles in a private university-affiliated I…

OBJECTIVE: Obesity is one of the extra hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis factors that can influence ovulation. The isolated impact of obesity on ovulation without other comorbidities needs to be further studied. Our goal is to evaluate th…

OBJECTIVE: The relation between excessive prolactin and endometriosis-related infertility is debatable. Anovulation or defective luteal phase occurs frequently due to hyperprolactinemia in subfertile women. In this investigation, we evaluat…

OBJECTIVE: The follicular fluid (FF) of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) seems to exhibit a profile different from that of fertile women, which may be related to folliculogenesis disruption in PCOS patients. The aim of this study…

The empty follicle syndrome (EFS) is defined as a failure to aspirate any oocyte (s) from the follicles after ovarian hyperstimulation in preparation for IVF/ICSI. It is a frustrating and vague syndrome; and a controversial one concerning i…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to look into the use of serum metabolites as potential biomarkers of response to controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) in patients undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. METHODS: This case-con…

OBJECTIVE: Multiple embryos have been transferred to compensate for low implantation rates, which in turn, increase the likelihood of multiple pregnancies. Despite the publication of clinical guidelines and a reduction in the number of embr…

Bowel endometriosis is a rare condition that may cause catastrophic complications necessitating immediate medical attention. This report describes the case of a patient diagnosed with endometriosis-induced bowel perforation. Albeit rare, bo…

One in six couples worldwide will experience at least one infertility problem during their reproductive years. Between 5.6% and 35.1% of women will exhibit poor ovarian response. A variety of methods have been applied to improve ovarian res…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the performance of our Facebook fan page and compare it to similar pages. METHODS: The authors reviewed page-specific metrics provided by Facebook, including number of fans, their age and sex, and co…

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to verify the prevalence of uterine cavity abnormalities diagnosed by routine office hysteroscopy in women preparing to IVF.MethodsWe carried out a retrospective cross-sectional study of 1141 consecutive w…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possible effect of follicular fluid glycodelin levels on the quality of developing oocytes and subsequent in vitro embryo development. METHODS: Follicular fluid glycodelin levels of 145 patients undergoing ass…

OBJECTIVE: To select embryos with higher implantation potential, the extended culture has been the most frequently applied strategy worldwide, and consequently leads to higher live birth rates per transfer. Sperm quality is a determining fe…

OBJECTIVE: To identify, appraise, and summarize the evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing oral dydrogesterone to vaginal progesterone capsules for luteal-phase support (LPS) in women offered fresh or frozen embryo tran…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the predictive efficiency of serum estradiol (E2) concentration in the mid-luteal phase regarding chemical, clinical, and ongoing pregnancies, in patients subjected to IVF/ICSI with fresh embryo transfer. METHODS: On…
