Expert transvaginal ultrasound is determinant for diagnosing pelvic conditions after recurrent implantation failure in IVF.
Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a clinical phenomenon characterized by a lack of implantation after several embryo-transfers. The aim of this study was to evaluate missing pelvic pathologies in patients …
Biochemical Heterogeneity of Endometriosis Phenotypes Revealed by FTIR Analysis.
Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to investigate molecular differences among peritoneal, ovarian, bowel endometriosis phenotypes and control tissues. Peritoneal lesions showed the most pronounced spectral changes in CH-stretching (2800-3000 …
