Acceptable variability in external quality assessment programmes for basic semen analysis
It is essential that EQAPs for semen parameters should determine the ranges for acceptable variability in results. Moreover, these ranges must be clinically useful, i.e. the variability should have a minimal negative impact on clinical decisions.
Lack of association between endogenous LH and pregnancy in GnRH antagonist protocols
Indeed the two papers commented on clearly show that circulating LH concentrations are not associated with pregnancy rates and the concept of a beneficial effect of adding recombinant LH to subgroups of patients remains to be shown.
Oestradiol valerate pretreatment in GnRH-antagonist cycles: a randomized controlled trial
Pretreatment with oestradiol valerate results in a significantly lower proportion of patients undergoing oocyte retrieval during a weekend day and can be a valuable tool for the organization of an assisted reproduction centre.
Sperm cryopreservation before cancer treatment: a 15-year monocentric experience
This study of a large population of cancer patients revealed a high level of successful sperm storage. Utilization of cryopreserved spermatozoa led to good chances of fatherhood. Nevertheless, sperm banks should be aware of the low rates of straw use
Simple vitrification for small numbers of human spermatozoa
In conclusion, the Cell Sleeper is a highly effective tool for the cryopreservation of small numbers of spermatozoa and limited cells can be vitrified quickly and simply without significant loss.
Ovarian stimulation and intrauterine insemination in women aged 40 years or more
Compared with ovarian stimulation, IVF is most effective for women aged 40 years or more. Attempting success withovarian stimulation or IVM will delay conception unnecessarily.
Targeted gonadotrophin stimulation using the PIVET algorithm markedly reduces the risk of OHSS
Compared with the previous 20-month period, introduction of the algorithm significantly reduced both the incidence of referral for increased monitoring, treatment for OHSS and the incidence of freeze-all cycles (all P < 0.05). This was particularly
Vitrification of human embryos previously cryostored by either slow freezing or vitrification result
The current study, although limited in numbers, resulted in high survival rates, clinical pregnancy rates similar to once-cryopreserved embryos and healthy live births independently of the initial stage and cryopreservation method. The technique may
First trimester serum angiogenic/anti-angiogenic status in twin pregnancies: relationship with assis
CONCLUSIONS In the first trimester, twin pregnancies conceived using ART showed a heightened anti-angiogenic status that could explain the increased risk of PE in these cases.
CONCLUSIONS Although large, prospective, multicentre studies are indicated, we have clearly demonstrated that individualized, AMH-guided, controlled ovarian hyperstimulation protocols significantly improved positive clinical outcomes, reduced the inc
Adverse obstetric outcomes associated with sonographically identified large uterine fibroids
Conclusion(s) Women with large uterine fibroids in pregnancy are at significantly increased risk for delivery at an earlier gestational age compared to women with small or no fibroids, as well as obstetric complications including excess blood loss an
Limited contribution of NR5A1 (SF-1) mutations in women with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI)
Conclusion(s)
The current study demonstrates that mutations in the NR5A1 gene are rare in women with POI. Primary ovarian insufficiency remains unexplained in the great majority of patients: therefore, continued efforts are needed to elucidate its u
Research from Western Australia reveals that the rate of preterm births in Australia is much higher than in non-western countries such as China. This may give a clue to one of the causes of prematurity.
A LARGE proportion of women aged in their early 30s who fail to conceive within a year may find they do not need infertility treatment if they “try a bit longer”, a conference was told last week. In a sample of 7300 participants in the Australian Lon
Apology as sperm destroyed at Cardiff IVF Wales clinic
An NHS fertility clinic has been accused of a series of failures after frozen donor samples were mistakenly destroyed, and others were used without proper screening. The head of IVF Wales in Cardiff resigned earlier this year - but concerns remain ov
