A rapidly evolving revolution in stem cell biology and medicine
The developments arising from human IVF are remarkable. Embryos were studied for developmental patterns that have consequences for viability and fertility. Growing human blastocysts in vitro allowed further exploration of the differentiation of primitive embryonic cells, leading to the discovery of human embryonic stem cells (ESC). The availability of perhaps unlimited numbers of human ESC could inform the study of differentiation and also provid
Dehydroepiandrostendione sulphate and prediction of live birth after IVF in young women with low anti-Müllerian hormone concentration
The live birth rate per initiated cycle in women with DHEAS concentration >5.4 μ::mol/l was 5-fold higher compared with women with DHEAS <5.4 μ::mol/l (38.9% versus 7.4%, P < 0.001) despite similar oocyte yield in both groups. In conclusion, the association between baseline DHEAS and probability of live birth after the GnRH cycle in young women with low AMH was demonstrated. This association could not be explained by the effect of DHEAS o
Successful twin delivery following transmyometrial embryo transfer in a patient with a false uterine cavity
Following a first cycle in which conventional transcervical embryo transfer was performed, a transmyometrial embryo transfer was carried out and the patient became pregnant with twins. In cases where transcervical embryo transfer is very difficult or impossible to perform, the value of transmyometrial transfer is self-evident.
Birthweight and placental weight: do changes in culture media used for IVF matter? Comparisons with spontaneous pregnancies in the corresponding time
We found a significant effect of culture media used for IVF on birthweight and on placental weight in relation to birthweight. Also the population changes over time should encourage identification of factors in very early embryonic life that may influence birthweight and placental weight.
Body mass index in relation to semen quality and reproductive hormones in New Zealand men: a cross-sectional study in fertility clinics
Our findings are consistent with those of other cross-sectional studies as well as two meta-analyses but do disagree in part with the most recent meta-analysis (which found significant odds ratios for oligozoospermia and azoospermia with increased BMI) and with studies measuring DNA fragmentation index. Therefore a definitive conclusion on the effect of BMI on semen quality remains uncertain while our data reinforce previous findings that BMI is
Comparison of early versus late initiation of GnRH antagonist co-treatment for controlled ovarian stimulation in IVF: a randomized controlled trial
The present study shows that the additional treatment burden and costs of starting GnRH antagonist on CD 2 instead of on CD 6 are not justified, as early initiation of GnRH antagonist does not improve LBRs.
Are children born after assisted reproductive technology at increased risk of autism spectrum disorders? A systematic review
At present, there is no evidence that ART is significantly associated with ASD and hence that current health policies should be modified. The divergent results of some of the studies suggest that further prospective, large and high-quality studies are still needed.
Mechanistic foundations of the metaphase II spindle of human oocytes matured in vivo and in vitro
Collectively, this work provides a robust database for future research on the human oocyte cytoskeleton, and contributes to a better definition of oocyte quality in assisted reproduction technology. Also, these data support the notion that IVM does not affect spindle morphometry and morphology.
The immature human ovary shows loss of abnormal follicles and increasing follicle developmental competence through childhood and adolescence
These findings show that follicles from girls of all ages can be induced to grow in vitro, which has important implications for some patients who are at high risk of malignant contamination of their ovarian tissue. The reduced growth of isolated follicles indicates that there are true intrafollicular differences in addition to potential differences in their local environment, and that there are maturational processes occurring in the ovary throug
Through pioneering human in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) as a global infertility treatment, Robert Edwards and his clinical partner Patrick Steptoe launched the field of IVF endocrinology
Recombinant versus urinary gonadotrophin for ovarian stimulation in assisted reproductive technology cycles
Clinical choice of gonadotrophin should depend on availability, convenience and costs. Differences between urinary gonadotrophins were considered unlikely to be clinically significant. Further research on these comparisons is unlikely to identify substantive differences in effectiveness or safety.
Some couples spend a bundle for joy of having a baby
While some women have little difficulty conceiving a child, others go to great expense for the opportunity to become a parent. A look at the efforts and costs involved in having a child [Ed Note: This survey was conducted online by BabyCenter.com with all biases etc. Still thought it was of interest to note how little IVF contributed to the overall pregnancy costs]
A procedure that uses a biopsy tool called a pipelle to 'scratch' the endometrial lining has been found to increase the chance of pregnancy and live birth as a result of IVF. Endometrial scratching, or injury, involves inserting a pipelle through the cervix and lightly scraping it against the womb lining. When performed seven to 14 days before reproductive treatment, scientists showed that it increased the odds of an embryo attaching to the linin
IVF procedure can increase clinical pregnancy by 20 per cent
A procedure called endometrial scratching significantly improves the clinical pregnancy rate — including the numbers of babies born — when performed just once in women who are undergoing assisted reproductive treatment, a study involving a University of Nottingham researcher has found.

David Attenborough wrong to worry about global population increase, says Professor Robert Winston
Sir David Attenborough is wrong to be concerned about a rise in the global population, Professor Robert Winston has said.-Sir David Attenborough is wrong to worry about global population increase, Professor Robert Winston has said, as he claims those who fear IVF will exacerbate the problem are "a bit ignorant".
Celmatix study shows women may be stopping IVF treatment prematurely
Celmatix, a biotechnology company focused on helping physicians guide patients to treatments that maximize their personal reproductive potential, announced today six research presentations at the annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), being held October 1217 in Boston. Among the data presented was a new study suggesting that up to 25 percent of patients may be discontinuing assisted reproductive therapies such a
