Diagnosis-dependent metabolic reprogramming of follicular fluid.

The follicular fluid (FF) microenvironment plays a critical role in oocyte maturation and embryo development, reflecting local ovarian activity and systemic metabolic status. While metabolic alterations in FF have been …

Embryo Euploidy Rates and Reproductive Outcomes Following Ethanol Sclerotherapy, Laparoscopic Cystectomy, or No Intervention for Ovarian Endometriomas Prior to IVF with PGT-A: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

To compare embryo euploidy rates and reproductive outcomes among women with ovarian endometriomas who underwent ethanol sclerotherapy (EST), laparoscopic cystectomy, or expectant management prior to in vitro fertilization (IVF) with …

Follicular fluid cytokine and homocysteine profiles in poor ovarian responders with and without sonographic endometrioma: A comparative study.

To compare follicular fluid (FF) cytokine and homocysteine profiles in women with poor ovarian response (POR) undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF), with and without sonographic endometrioma, and to explore potential …

Turning Challenges into Success: Successful Pregnancy in Advanced Maternal Age with Adenomyosis Using Prolonged GnRH Agonist Protocol: A Case Report.

Advanced maternal age (AMA) is a major challenge in reproductive medicine, compounded by coexisting conditions such as adenomyosis and endometriosis, which impair oocyte competence and endometrial receptivity. Prolonged gonadotropin-releasing hormone …

Endocrine roles of vitamin D in female reproduction: Mechanisms and clinical implications.

Vitamin D a fat-soluble steroid hormone signals through Vitamin D Receptors (VDRs) located throughout the ovaries, uterus, placenta, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland, influencing immune regulation and female reproductive physiology. This …

Endometrial HOXA-10, HOXA-11, ß-1 integrin, ECM-1, FAK, and CD44 immunohistochemical expressions in endometriosis-related recurrent IVF failure: a retrospective case-control study.

The letrozole use in reproductive medicine: Beyond aromatase inhibition - a comprehensive review.

Letrozole and other aromatase inhibitors are increasingly recognized as first-line ovulation induction (OI) medications, offering an efficient and physiologic approach to ovarian stimulation that enhances outcomes in reproductive medicine. By …

Metabolomic profiling of follicular fluid reveals unique pathways in endometriosis and infertility etiologies: a pilot study.

This study investigates metabolic profiles in follicular fluid of patients with endometriosis (EM), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), tubal blockage (TB), and unexplained infertility (UEI), assessing their associations with follicular development …

Development and validation of a clinical nomogram for predicting cumulative live birth rate in ovarian endometrioma patients undergoing ethanol sclerotherapy and in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection.

Effective individualized tools to predict cumulative live birth rates are lacking for patients with ovarian endometriomas undergoing In Vitro Fertilization or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection after ultrasound-guided ethanol sclerotherapy. This study …

Average oocyte quality index as a method for scoring dysmorphic oocytes in women with ovarian endometrioma undergoing in vitro fertilization and its correlation with ovarian reserve.

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 …
