To examine intra-patient variability in retrieved oocyte numbers across consecutive in-vitro fertilization (IVF) ovarian stimulation (OS) cycles with an identical OS protocol.
Transvaginal ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval is required for assisted reproductive technology. This is a short and minimally invasive, but painful procedure. There are no clinical guidelines on optimal pain management. We …
Background: Endometriosis is associated with infertility and impaired assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes, potentially due to an altered follicular microenvironment characterized by chronic inflammation. This study investigates the systemic and …
In women with unilateral endometriosis, how do ovarian endometriomas and their inflammatory content affect oocyte and embryo quality in affected versus healthy ovaries, and what is the impact on ART …
Fertility preservation options, including cryopreservation of oocytes, embryos, and ovarian tissue, were initially focused on women undergoing gonadotoxic chemotherapy for oncologic treatment. The indications have expanded to include nonmalignant conditions …
The hyaluronic acid synthase (HAS) family participates in key physiological processes such as follicular development, oocyte maturation, ovulation, and embryo implantation by regulating the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, and plays …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder that is increasingly recognized as a systemic condition with profound implications for female reproductive potential. In addition to pelvic distortion and impaired folliculogenesis, …
High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) and S100 proteins are major ligands of Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-products (RAGE) and have causal roles in endometriosis lesions. Yet the AGE-RAGE pathway …
Advances in cancer therapy, delayed parenthood, and an increasing number of reproductive disorders have intensified the need for the effective preservation of fertility. However, current clinical strategies such as ovarian …
This study investigated whether the average oocyte quality index (AOQI), used as a dysmorphic oocyte scoring system, is higher in women with ovarian endometrioma than in those with unexplained infertility …
