Comparative prospective study of 2 ovarian stimulation protocols in poor responders: effect on implantation rate and ongoing pregnancy
In poorly responding patients treated with IVF, the implantation and ongoing pregnancy rates per transfer were not significantly different between the two protocols studied: contraceptive pill :+ :flare-up GnRH-agonist protocol and the GnRH-antagonist protocol.
Embryonic development in human oocytes fertilized by split insemination
Conclusion: Higher FR and more blastocyst could be achieved by ICSI in specific circumstances. Fertilization method can be tailored accordingly to improve IVF outcomes.
Relationship between phospholipase C zeta immunoreactivity and DNA fragmentation and oxidation in human sperm
Conclusion: Measurement of PLCζ::: by immunostaining is feasible and reproducible. Lower expression of PLCζ::: in human sperm may be associated with higher sperm DNA oxidation status.
Live birth after autograft of ovarian tissue cryopreserved during childhood
This first report of successful fertility restoration after the graft of ovarian tissue cryopreserved before menarche offers reassuring evidence for the feasibility of the procedure when performed during childhood.
Is dietary pesticide exposure related to semen quality? Positive evidence from men attending a fertility clinic
Pesticides are designed to be biocides and an extensive literature demonstrates that many of these chemicals adversely impact human reproductive function. It has long been known that occupational exposure to certain pesticides have a devastating effect on semen quality and male fertility.
Fruit and vegetable intake and their pesticide residues in relation to semen quality among men from a fertility clinic
To our knowledge, this is the first report on the consumption of fruits and vegetables with high levels of pesticide residue in relation to semen quality. Further confirmation of these findings is warranted.
Pesticides in fruit and vegetables linked to semen quality
The authors write in their paper: `To our knowledge, this is the first report on the consumption of fruits and vegetables with high levels of pesticide residue in relation to semen quality.` They continue: `These findings suggest that exposure to pesticides used in agricultural production through diet may be sufficient to affect spermatogenesis in humans.`
Assisted reproduction not associated with reduced academic performance in adolescence
The academic performance of children conceived by assisted reproduction techniques (ART) is no better or worse than that of spontaneously conceived children when assessed at the ninth grade of their school education. Similarly, ART singletons and ART twins also had comparable test scores, suggesting, say the investigators, that 'the higher obstetric risk' identified in ART pregnancies - and particularly in twins - `is not associated with poorer a
First live birth after transplantation of ovarian tissue removed and frozen during childhood
A young woman has become the first in the world to give birth to a healthy child after doctors restored her fertility by transplanting ovarian tissue that had been removed and frozen while she was a child.
Semen profile fall when there is a high dietary of foods with a known high levels of pesticide residues in fruit and vegetables
Comment
A worrisome article that shows decreased semen profiles in relation to an increased consumption of fruit and vegetables of known pesticide contamination. We are all told to eat more fruit and vegetables but did you know that there are tables in the US retailing the level of pesticides in each food type. In this article(s), Chavarro, et. al. carried out a food consumption survey of 155 men from which they calculated the number of daily serves of fruit and vegetables and then from the pesticides contamination tables calculated their total pesticide exposure in relationship to a single semen analysis. | They showed significant declines in concentration, motility and morphology in the group having the highest exposure risk. Conversely, they also noted in the group of men with the highest number of daily serves but with food of low contamination, significantly better semen profiles. |The differences they reported would reflect poorly in a semen analysis and have the potential to result in samples falling below the normal range. This implies that any adverse semen profile may have some origins in diet. It supports an argument that infertile males or males in an infertile relationship may benefit from moving to a diet with a high number of daily serves of ORGANIC fruit and vegetables. Maybe we should all do this but for men with a poor semen profile especially so.| Many in the IVF field just ignore the reasons why a man may be infertile assuming IVF will solve the problem of pregnancy. This article reminds us that for many couples, their infertility may be resolved in less technological ways and more attention paid to lifestyle be warranted.|
