TL;DR: In this paper, the incidence of reactive oxygen species formation in whole semen and in washed spermatozoa was studied and the effect of the type of sperm washing was also investigated.

TL;DR: Although severe and critical OHSS may not be completely avoided, early recognition of high-risk factors, judicious prevention schemes, and treatment strategies should reduce the complication and long-term sequelae of this iatrogenic syndrome.

TL;DR: In this paper, a transectional retrospective cohort follow-up of patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) was performed to determine if the hormonal imbalance in women with PCOS continues into and after menopause and to analyze factors constituting an increased risk for developing metabolic disorders.

TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis of 10 trials comparing treatment cycle outcomes after gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-a) with other ovulation induction protocols (n=722) and 7 trials comparing outcomes after short flare-up (n/368) with longer suppression (n =476) protocols was conducted.

TL;DR: Abdominal myomectomy is an appropriate alternative to hysterectomy for most women who wish to preserve childbearing potential or enhance it and by endoscopic techniques may hold similar potential.

TL;DR: In this article, the first embryonic signal detection (presumed window of implantation) extends between cycle days 20 and 24, and the timing and sigmoidal pattern of hCG detection coincides with structural changes of the implantation bed.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the PI value on the day of ET could be used to increase the implantation rate by showing which embryos should be cryopreserved until the uterus is more receptive and reduce the multiple PR by indicating that the number of embryos transferred should be limited when the uterus was most receptive.

TL;DR: Although both women and men are affected by infertility, their emotional response is significantly influenced by a gender-specific diagnosis, and men's response to infertility closely approximates that of women if the infertility has been attributed to amale factor but differs considerably if a male factor is not found.

TL;DR: In this paper, the local natural killer (local NK) activity of peritoneal fluid mononuclear cells (PFMC) was measured in 44 women who underwent a laparoscopy for infertility and/or pain at the University Hospital of Gasthuisberg, Leuven, Belgium.

TL;DR: Ascorbic acid supplementation of heavy smokers in excess of 200 mg/d results in improved sperm quality.

TL;DR: Results of in vitro fertilization can be used to evaluate tests of human sperm function and Logistic regression analysis is a powerful method for determining which groups of sperm characteristics are independently related to fertilization rates.

TL;DR: Although not apparent in all adolescents, varicocele correction resulted in an increase in left testis volume and sperm concentration in the treated group, whereas semen quality in the untreated and control groups did not change.

TL;DR: In this article, the diagnostic capability of transvaginal ultrasonography in detecting diffuse adenomyosis was evaluated in a series of women who underwent hysterectomy for menorrhagia.

TL;DR: The data suggest that women with PCOS may be divided into two subgroups: those with obesity, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, and normal/minimally elevated LH levels and those with normal BW, elevated LHLevels, and normoinsularinemia.

TL;DR: In a university-based residency program, operative laparoscopy is a safe alternative for the management of appropriately selected patients with suspected EP.

TL;DR: In this article, a retrospective analysis of 1,915 consecutive transfers of fresh embryos between January 1986 and December 1989 was performed to study the relationship between the quality of the transferred embryos and the occurrence of multiple pregnancies.

TL;DR: Existing criteria for pretherapy semen cryobanking should be revised in view of successful pregnancies even with the use of semen with low spermatozoal densities and motilities, as well as other realized clinical efficacies of ART.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied young women having inactive ovaries who received exogenous estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P) and found that at physiological levels, E2 affects vascular resistance of uterine arteries.

TL;DR: Freezing of cocultured human blastocysts allow good PRs and can represent an alternative for repeated failures of ETs at early stages, according to the three protocols presented here.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether activated polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) can affect sperm motility and assessed the capacity of seminal plasma and of scavengers of reactive oxygen species to prevent any loss of motility.

TL;DR: Higher levels of stress, regardless of whether that stress was from attempting to solve a fertility problem or another problem, were related to reduced marital functioning and decreased life quality.

TL;DR: The early lesion is an active stage of endometriosis, invading the extracellular matrix, and in women with unexplained infertility active, microscopic endometiosis may be present.

TL;DR: In males with varicocele(s), normal semen parameters should not routinely be expected to remain normal over time, and Statistically significant deterioration was noted from normal to abnormal.

TL;DR: In this paper, the reproducibility of assessment of sperm concentration, motility, and morphology was obtained for the same sample measured by different technicians (between or intertechnician variation) and for different samples assessed by each technician with time (within or intratechnician variation).

TL;DR: Triplet and quadruplet IVF pregnancies have increased obstetrical and neonatal complications compared with IVF twins and the perinatal mortality and the incidence of congenital malformations are comparable in all three groups.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of progesterone and its antagonist RU486 (mifepristone) on sperm hyperactivation (HA) and acrosome reaction were investigated in a study at a tertiary care center.
