Tubo-ovarian abscess is a rare but serious complication of assisted reproductive technologies, typically following oocyte retrieval. We report a case of a 41-year-old woman with endometriosis who developed a tubo-ovarian …
The genitourinary system undergoes a complex development, making it prone to congenital anomalies. Müllerian duct anomalies are among these, affecting the uterus, cervix, and vagina due to errors in ductal …
Does a natural cycle result in higher clinical pregnancy rates (CPR) with foetal heartbeat compared to an artificial cycle for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) preparation in ovulatory women?
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 …
Endometrial dysfunction represents a central pathological factor underlying recurrent implantation failure and infertility. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of the physiological basis of endometrial function, the pathological factors compromising …
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 …
Female reproductive tissues repeatedly undergo controlled inflammation, immune adaptation, and tissue repair. Interleukin-33 (IL-33) and its receptor suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) sit at the center of these processes, but …
Which patients with endometriosis suffer from diminished ovarian reserve as well as impaired embryo quality and therefore could benefit from medical freezing as part of fertility preservation strategies?
Stem cell-based models resembling murine blastocysts represent a useful system to investigate subsequent developmental processes. While existing cell lines derived from epiblast and trophectoderm can be aggregated to form 'blastoids', …
How can outcomes in programmed frozen embryo transfers (FET) be improved, and what are the key areas where more research is needed?
