The history of female genital tract malformation classifications and proposal of an updated system
Accepting the need for a new classification system of genitourinary malformations that considers the experience gained from the application of the current classification systems, the aetiopathogenesis and that also suggests the appropriate treatment,
Absolute asthenozoospermia and ICSI: what are the options?
Absolute immotile spermatozoa is one of the most important causes of reduced fertilization and pregnancy rates after ICSI and different techniques are used to improve ICSI outcomes. However, it still remains unclear which is the best technique to im
Functional relationship between obesity and male reproduction: from humans to animal models
Infertility in overweight/obese males may be explained by leptin insensitivity. This implies a possible role for the KISS1 system in human obesity-related male infertility. If substantiated, it will pave the way for methods to restore fertility in th
Gamete competence assessment by polarizing optics in assisted reproduction
he majority of studies are observational studies and were not performed in a randomized manner and there is no direct comparison of techniques using other gamete selection markers. Despite this, most studies show that polarization microscopy may help
Endometrial alterations in endometriosis: a systematic review of putative biomarkers
Of the nine highest quality studies, six identified putative biomarkers related to nerve fibre growth or cell cycle control, highlighting these areas as promising candidates for future biomarker research.
Vasculogenesis: a new piece of the endometriosis puzzle
Recent studies indicate that up to 37% of the microvascular endothelium of ectopic endometrial tissue originates from EPCs, partly controlled by the stromal-cell-derived factor-1/chemokine receptor type 4 axis.
Chromosomal mosaicism in human preimplantation embryos: a systematic review
Diploid–aneuploid mosaicism is by far the most common chromosomal constitution in spare human preimplantation embryos after IVF. This undermines the reliable determination of the ploidy status of a cleavage-stage embryo based on the analysis of a sin
Maternal smoking in pregnancy and birth defects: a systematic review based on 173 687 malformed case
CONCLUSIONS Birth defects that are positively associated with maternal smoking should now be included in public health educational materials to encourage more women to quit before or during pregnancy.
Acute ovarian failure underestimates age-specific reproductive impairment for young women undergoing
Six hundred twenty women received chemotherapy alone. The percentage reporting acute ovarian failure was 8%, 10%, 9%, and 5% for HD, NHL, breast cancer, and GI cancer, respectively. Acute ovarian failure increased significantly with age at diagnosis
It's Now or Never: Fertility-Related Knowledge, Decision-Making Preferences, and Treatment Intention
Around diagnosis, many young patients with breast cancer have low levels of knowledge about fertility issues. Further, low knowledge is associated with increased decisional conflict, which is likely to undermine the quality of decision making.
Prevention of maternal aging-associated oocyte aneuploidy and meiotic spindle defects in mice by die
The effects of CR on oocyte quality in aging females were reproduced by deletion of the metabolic regulator, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ: coactivator-1α: (PGC-1α:). Thus, CR during adulthood or loss of PGC-1α: functio
Increased Prevalence of Celiac Disease in Patients with Unexplained Infertility in the United States
CONCLUSION: Women with unexplained infertility are at increased risk for having undiagnosed celiac disease, which may be a potentially modifiable (and treatable) risk factor.
New Strategy to Prevent Infertility, Birth Defects
Investigators from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have shown that restricting the caloric intake of adult female mice prevents a spectrum of abnormalities, such as extra or missing copies of chromosomes, that arise more frequently in egg cells
Young Women With Breast Cancer Have Little Fertility Knowledge, Australian Survey Finds
Fertility is a priority for many young women with breast cancer, yet new research has found many have little knowledge about fertility issues, leading to confusion and conflict around planning for a family.
Current estimates of the impact of chemotherapy on women's reproductive health are too low, according to a University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) study. The researchers say their analysis of the age-specific, long-term effects of chemotherapy
Early Embryos Can Correct Genetic Abnormalities During Development, Researchers Find
Professor William G. Kearns told the annual meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology that a three-day-old embryo (called a cleavage stage embryo) with an incorrect number of chromosomes (known as "aneuploidy") was capable
Babies of mothers with a higher pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) are fatter and have more fat in their liver, a study published in September's issue of the journal Pediatric Research has found.
Baby boom as IVF rates increase according to The Sydney IVF clinic
THE chance of infertile couples falling pregnant through IVF has increased significantly in the past two years, according to figures released yesterday. The Sydney IVF clinic's results show 55 per cent of the women aged under 40 who are treated at th
THE first TV ad in Australia featuring a real birth has been made in PG and M versions, as the IVF clinic behind the campaign worked to make sure potential critics could not have the ad banned.
More than 1,300 people have voiced concern on a social networking site that Mackay's IVF clinic may be forced to close. The lease on the building where the clinic is located is due to expire today. Lance Herron from the Queensland Fertility Group say
Although women are born with all their eggs, it is not understood why many of these contain the incorrect number of chromosomes, which is a leading cause of miscarriage. But now scientists in Germany and Japan have discovered a mechanism that could e
Complete Kinetochore Tracking Reveals Error-Prone Homologous Chromosome Biorientation in Mammalian O
We show that in acentrosomal oocytes, chromosome congression forms an intermediate chromosome configuration, the prometaphase belt, which precedes biorientation. Chromosomes then invade the elongating spindle center to form the metaphase plate and s
