BACKGROUND: Endometrial receptivity (ER), a pivotal event for successful embryo implantation, refers to the capacity of endometrium to allow the adhesion of the trophectoderm of the blastocyst to endometrial cells. In this paper, we set to …

PURPOSE: To examine the impact of medically assisted fertility treatments on the risk of developing perinatal and cardiometabolic complications during pregnancy and in-hospital deliveries. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study…

PURPOSE: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease and one of the most common gynecological diseases in women of reproductive age. The aim of the review was to explore the relationship between the chromatin regulatory fact…

PURPOSE: With urbanization and industrialization process accelerated, humans are exposed more and more trace elements. This study aimed to explore the potential associations of trace elements with the outcomes of in vitro fertilization embr…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the association, if any, between the grade of the trophectoderm (TE) and the rate at which β-human-chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) rises in early pregnancy. METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study including 1116 s…

PURPOSE: Taking into consideration earlier attempts at assisted reproduction and previous pregnancies allows a more differentiated approach when counseling couples regarding their chances in assisted reproductive treatments. The aim of this…

PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to investigate whether women with diminished ovarian reserve who planned for PGT-A exhibit a lower number of blastocysts for biopsy, ploidy outcomes, and blastocyst quality on day 5, regardless of ag…

PURPOSE: To explore perceptions towards embryo disposition among patients donating excess embryos to a research biobank. METHODS: Cross-sectional study of survey responses collected as part of enrollment in a research biobank. Patients are…

PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to synthesize disparate studies to investigate potential impact of microbial presence in FF of infertile women on IVF outcomes. METHODS: Following preliminary searches to find medical subject heading (MeSH…

PURPOSE: We evaluated whether preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) could increase the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). METHODS: Th…

PURPOSE: We aimed to compare the DNA methylation profiles of human embryos cultured in uninterrupted or interrupted incubators. METHODS: This study included 9 women, ≤ 30 years old (range: 20-30 years), without a history of genetic disease…

AIM: To compare the pregnancy outcomes between physiologic saline and G-Rinse medium solution for cervical mucus washing, in fresh elective single-embryo transfers (ET) in women under the age of 37. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This was a retrosp…

PURPOSE: A reduced oocyte competence has been claimed as one of the factors underlying infertility in women with endometriosis. This idea has justified the hypothesis that intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), rather than conventional IV…

PURPOSE: To analyze the level of growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) and bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) in follicle fluid (FF) and granulosa cells (GCs) derived from young patients with low prognosis for in vitro fertilization and…

PURPOSE: Endometrial histology on hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained preparations provides information associated with receptivity. However, traditional histological examination by Noyes' dating method is of limited value as it is prone to…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the association between progesterone (P) level on the day of trigger and time to blastulation in IVF cycles. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study with autologous IVF cycles performed at our Institution from J…

PURPOSE: This study aims to identify the mechanism of Inhibin Subunit Beta B (INHBB), a member of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) family involved in the regulation of human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) decidualization in recur…

PROPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess whether the implementation of a "dual trigger" approach, utilizing gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the GnRH antagonist protocol for in…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of basal serum testosterone levels on the ovarian response and the cumulative live birth rate of infertile women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). METHODS: It is a retrospective study in a university-…

PURPOSE: To assess the impact of elevated BMI on the success of modified natural cycle frozen embryo transfers (mNC-FET) of euploid embryos. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study at a single academic institution reviewed mNC-FET involvi…

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) are affected during the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic. METHODS: This was a single-center, retrospective study. Embryo development, pregnancy, and live birth…

PURPOSE: To evaluate embryo ploidy in a cohort of patients who underwent preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) with vitrified oocytes compared to fresh oocytes. METHODS: Patients who underwent their first autologous oocyte…

PURPOSE: To study the impact of undergoing an embryo transfer during the week of daylight savings time transition on live birth rates. METHODS: We performed a retrospective observational cohort study of patients undergoing embryo transfer …

PURPOSE: To investigate the possibility that altered actions of endogenous progesterone affect receptivity and contribute to unexplained infertility (UI). METHODS: Two authors electronically searched MEDLINE, CINAHL and Embase databases fr…

INTRODUCTION: The relationships between the outcome of frozen-thaw embryo transfer (FET) cycle and endometrial compaction were not quite consistent. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between the outcome of FET cycle and endometrial co…
