Good practice recommendations for the use of time-lapse technology
This document is expected to have a significant impact on future developments of clinical embryology, considering the increasing role and impact of TLT.
The impact of endocrine disruptor chemicals on oocyte/embryo and clinical outcomes in IVF
IVF participants living in agricultural regions should be informed about the fertility decline, low ongoing pregnancy rates and elevated risk of miscarriage associated with exposure to high doses of pesticides.
Endometrial compaction before frozen euploid embryo transfer improves ongoing pregnancy rates
Conclusion(s). There is a significant correlation between endometrial lining compaction (after 6 days of progesterone eposure) and ongoing pregnancy rate in FET cycles of euploid embryos. These findings help to explain why some euploid embryos may fail to implant.
Imprinting disorders in children born after ART: a Nordic study from the CoNARTaS group
SUMMARY ANSWER: We found an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of 2.84 [95% CI: 1.34–6.01] for Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome in ART children, while the risk of Prader–Willi syndrome, Silver–Russell syndrome or Angelman syndrome was not increased in children conceived after ART.
Endometrial compaction (decreased thickness) in response to progesterone results in optimal pregnancy outcome in frozen-thawed embryo transfers
We calculated the ongoing pregnancy rate in patients whose endometrial thickness decreased (compacted) after starting progesterone by 5%, 10%, 15%, or 20% compared with patients with no change or increased endometrial thickness. The ongoing pregnancy rate was significantly increased at all levels of compaction compared with no compaction. The ongoing pregnancy rate showed a significant increase with each decreasing quartile of change in thickness

Title
Do endocrine disruptor chemicals effect oocyte/embryo and clinical outcomes in IVF.
Summary
Comment
Abstract|
The negative impact of endocrine-disrupting pesticides on human fertility is now a key issue in reproductive health. There are much fewer literature data about the impact of pesticide exposure on women than on men, and very few studies of women participating in an in vitro fertilization (IVF) programme. In the present review, we found that (i) various pesticides with an endocrine-disrupting action are associated with poor oocyte maturation and competency, embryonic defects, and poor IVF outcomes, and (ii) some pesticide compounds are linked to specific causes of female infertility, such as premature ovarian insufficiency, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and endometriosis.| IVF participants living in agricultural regions should be informed about the fertility decline, low ongoing pregnancy rates and elevated risk of miscarriage associated with exposure to high doses of pesticides.|
