Environmental microbiological monitoring is mandatory in IVF laboratories; however, procedure-specific risk assessment across the entire medically assisted reproduction workflow remains limited. This multicenter study, named "SMILE" (Study of Environmental Microbiological …
Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with infertility in up to half of those diagnosed. Despite decades of research, the molecular basis of its …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder associated with pelvic pain, infertility, repeated treatment, and impaired quality of life. Thyroid dysfunction and thyroid autoimmunity are also common in reproductive-aged women and …
Endometriosis is frequently associated with infertility and postoperative recurrence, and fertility-sparing surgery may be considered when symptoms, endometriomas, adhesions, or deep infiltrating disease are unlikely to be adequately managed with …
Endometriosis affects a substantial proportion of women of reproductive age and is a common, often under-recognised contributor to subfertility. Its effects on fertility are multifactorial, and both the disease and …
It is critical that women undertaking medically assisted reproductive (MAR) treatment and their clinicians know whether the treatments are associated with an increased risk of hormone-related cancers.
Women remain underrepresented in clinical drug development despite their unique biological characteristics and growing disease burden. In China, this disparity is particularly concerning given the rising incidence of gynecologic conditions …
This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluated whether the use of hyaluronic acid (HA)-enriched medium for embryo transfer (ET) improves live birth rates in in-vitro fertilization …
Goserelin is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist with a long history of clinical application and well-established efficacy and safety profile. Its mechanism of action centers on sustained GnRH receptor desensitization, …
Mycotoxins are widespread food contaminants, and urinary biomarkers reflect recent dietary exposure. Although mycotoxins have been implicated in reproductive toxicity, their impact on human oocyte and embryo development remains poorly …
