Does cessation of progesterone supplementation during early pregnancy in patients treated with recFS
CONCLUSIONS After recFSH/GnRH antagonist cycles, the withdrawal of P supplementation in early pregnancy, with normally increasing β::::::-hCG levels on the 16th day post-ET, had no significant clinical impact in terms of ongoing pregnancy rates b
No secular trend over the last decade in sperm counts among Swedish men from the general population
CONCLUSIONS Between the years 2000 and 2010 we found no evidence of time-related deterioration of semen parameters among young Swedish men from the general population. This finding does not exclude that such a decrease may have taken place before yea
Prenatal and adult exposures to smoking are associated with adverse effects on reproductive hormones
CONCLUSIONS Prenatal exposure to tobacco may lead to faster pubertal development possibly caused by a higher free-T, and to higher adult BMI and impairment of testicular function. The findings may not be clinical relevant for the individual but are o
An investigation of the potential effect of vacuoles in human sperm on DNA damage using a chromosome
CONCLUSION The results showed that large vacuoles were not responsible for DNA damage, suggesting that intra-cytoplasmic injection of morphologically selected sperm may not be required for patients who produce high-quality semen.
To optimize success rates of IVF, selection of the most viable embryo(s) for transfer has always been essential, as embryos that are cryopreserved are thought to have a reduced chance of implanting after thawing. Recent developments challenge this co
Serum Concentrations of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in Relation to in Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
Conclusions: Serum PCB concentrations at levels similar to the US general population were associated with failed implantation among women undergoing IVF. These findings may help explain previous reports of reduced fecundability among women exposed to
DNA Damage in Oocytes Induces a Switch of the Quality Control Factor TAp63α::: from Dimer to Tet
Our results demonstrate how TAp63α::: is inhibited by complex domain-domain interactions that provide the basis for regulating quality control in oocytes.
Toward understanding obstetrical outcome in advanced assisted reproduction: varying sperm, oocyte, a
Reduced birth weight and gestational age were observed for Donor Egg cycles versus IVF or GC cycles, suggesting that the uterine environment was more important to these outcomes than egg quality. Whereas altering the sperm source had no effect, femal
The Epidemic of Multiple Gestations and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Use: The Cost of Irresponsibili
Of our NICU admissions, 17 are infants from multiple gestations after ART, a significant increase in 10 years. In a 2-year period, the excess NICU use that would have been saved by mandatory single embryo transfer included 3082 patient days and 270 p
An Evolutionary Genomic Approach to Identify Genes Involved in Human Birth Timing
The signals initiating parturition in humans have remained elusive, due to divergence in physiological mechanisms between humans and model organisms typically studied. Because of relatively large human head size and narrow birth canal cross-sectional
Recent advances in proteomic techniques have provided insight into sperm function and dysfunction. Several multidimensional separation techniques can be utilized to identify and characterize spermatozoa.
According to a new study published February 24 in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Health Perspectives (EHP), serum polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at concentrations found in the general U.S. population are associated with the failure of fert
Carolyn and Sean Savage were on their fourth round of IVF when they discovered she was pregnant – with another couples child. Emma Brockes talks to them about what happened next
IVF: Improvements in Embryonic Preimplantation Genetic Screening Techniques
A Short Comparative Genomic Hybridisation (CGH) method has been developed to carry out preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) by analysing all chromosomes and transferring selected embryos to the recipient uterus in the same in vitro fertilisation c
For women seeking pregnancy by assisted reproductive technologies, such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF), a new study shows that the health of the uterus is more relevant than egg quality for a newborn to achieve normal birth weight and full gestation
Stronger Regulations of in Vitro Fertilization May Save Lives, New Study Finds
Although IVF can be successful, it can also increase the risk of multiple pregnancies (i.e., twins or triplets), which are often caused by transferring more than one embryo. Twins and triplets are likely to be born prematurely, and, as a result, many
To protect the health of future generations, body keeps a careful watch on its precious and limited supply of eggs. That's done through a key quality control process in oocytes (the immature eggs), which ensures elimination of damaged cells before th
Key Feature of Age-Related Miscarriages and Birth Defects: Egg Cells Failing to Properly Arrange Chr
Writing in the upcoming issue of the journal Current Biology, the researchers say they recreated the conditions in which an egg cell will continue to undergo cell division without properly arranging its chromosomes, creating offspring with aneuploidy
