TL;DR: In a randomized 2 X 2 factorial trial of human in vitro fertilization that compared the two media and culture under oil versus culture in loosely capped tubes, significantly more clinical pregnancies were obtained with HTF medium than with T6 medium.

TL;DR: Survival was higher for 2-day-old embryos than for 3- day-old babies, and for 2, 4, and 8-cell embryos more than for intermediate-cleavage-stage embryos, and the average viability of all 2-Day-old frozen-thawed embryos can be estimated at 19%.

TL;DR: The successful growth and development of surgically transplanted endometrial tissue in the rat offers a research model that can be used to study those aspects of endometriosis that cannot be adequately investigated in women.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the psychological evaluation of 200 couples consecutively seen at a pretreatment consultation in an in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer program and describe the emotional characteristics of the sample.

TL;DR: The collection of split ejaculates and the careful preparation of spermatozoa, by sedimentation and layering methods, proved to be beneficial, improving sperm motility and raising the chance of fertilization.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-step continuous Percoll gradient was used to separate motile sperm and a one-step discontinuous Percoll gradients was used for motility enhancement.

TL;DR: Pregnancy rates were significantly affected by the month and year of treatment, the age of the patient, the type of ovarian stimulation, the use of human chorionic gonadotropin, the number of eggs collected, the Number of eggs fertilized, theNumber of embryos developed, and the numberof embryos transferred.

TL;DR: It is concluded that women, like rabbits, normally respond by leukocytosis to cervical deposition of spermatozoa, and the primary function of the leukocytes may be sperm selection by phagocyTosis or the "mopping up" of introduced bacteria.

TL;DR: Free testosterone, therefore, appears to affect sexual motivation directly and does not work through the social interpretation of the accompanying pubertal development.

TL;DR: In this article, a semiautomatic computerized technique for the measurement of sperm swimming speed is presented, which is easy to use and would be suitable for routine clinical laboratories and can be used successfully, in conjunction with multivariate statistical methods, to predict the outcomes of such techniques with about 75% accuracy.

TL;DR: Early diagnosis and an aggressive evaluation of any patient presenting with mid-trimester abortion, premature labor, malpresentation, or retained placenta may prevent additional pregnancy wastage and maternal morbidity.

TL;DR: A new technique for the management of varicoceles was carried out on 71 infertile men, and among this group, the mean values for sperm density and sperm motility increased after surgery.

TL;DR: Spironolactone (S) has been used successfully for the treatment of hirsutism as mentioned in this paper, and the effects of S on serum androgens and hair growth are dose-related and whether S affects secreted androgens to the same degree as peripherally derived androgens.

TL;DR: It was concluded that FL significantly diminished the occurrence of permanent pelvic adhesions and the incidence of ectopic pregnancy after salpingostomy was significantly lower when FL was performed.

TL;DR: In this paper, an immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) specific to the carboxy terminal peptide of the hCG β-chain was used to identify very early pregnancy losses.

TL;DR: It is estimated that by maintaining the current policy of replacing three fresh embryos and freezing any remaining embryos when they reach blastocyst stage, the total incidence of pregnancy would increase by 3%.

TL;DR: Greater experience is needed before the impact of ultrasound-guided transfer can be correlated with the rate of pregnancy continuance, in comparison with 12 transfers guided by "clinical feel".

TL;DR: The chance of pregnancy for those couples where autoimmunity to sperm was the sole definable factor leading to infertility was 15.3% when most spermatozoa were antibody-bound, and a significantly greater number of wives whose husbands had P.

TL;DR: An increase in peritoneal macrophage number is not restricted to women with endometriosis but, rather, is seen in a subset of infertile women generally without mechanical or endocrinologic infertility factors.

TL;DR: All subjects exhibited significant elevation of P over baseline levels that persisted for at least 6 hours after the single oral dose and returned to initial levels by 24 hours, and Serial determinations of serum P concentrations demonstrated rapid absorption of P.

TL;DR: In vitro, genital skin 5 alpha-reductase activity (5 alpha-RA) was measured in 10 hirsute women with normal androgen levels (idiopathic hirsutism [IH]) and in 10 women with elevated androgens levels (polycystic ovary syndrome [PCO]) in order to determine the influence of secreted androgens on 5 alpha -RA as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the results of a 6-year prospective study designed to evaluate the effectiveness of danazol for the treatment of endometriosis were presented. But, no difference was reported in the incidence of side effects, regardless of dosage.

TL;DR: The high renin-like activity present in FF after stimulation with gonadotropins could be involved in the mechanism of angiogenesis and may play an important role in events related to reproductive processes.

TL;DR: The percentage of ciliated cells, the height, and the mitotic index of human oviductal epithelium were studied during the menstrual cycle and under progestogens.

TL;DR: The technique permits substantial simplification of egg recovery for in vitro fertilization, which can now be performed in an outpatient setting without the risk and expense of laparoscopy and general anesthesia or the discomfort of transabdominal-transvesical ultrasound-guided aspiration.

TL;DR: La societe americaine de Tritilite propose une nouvelle classification de l'endometriose qui doit remplacer la precedente d'Acosta en precisant leur caractere uni ou bilateral and leur extension.
