چکیده

BACKGROUND The maximal number of live births (k) per donor was usually determined by cultural and social perspective. It was rarely decided on the basis of scientific evidence or discussed from mathematical or probabilistic viewpoint. METHODS AND RESULTS To recommend a value for k, we propose three criteria to evaluate its impact on consanguinity and disease incidence due to artificial insemination by donor (AID). The first approach considers the optimization of k under the criterion of fixed tolerable number of consanguineous mating due to AID. The second approach optimizes k under fixed allowable average coefficient of inbreeding. This approach is particularly helpful when assessing the impact on the public, is of interest. The third criterion considers specific inheritance diseases. This approach is useful when evaluating the individual's risk of genetic diseases. When different diseases are considered, this criterion can be easily adopted. All these derivations are based on the assumption of shortage of gamete donors due to great demand and insufficient supply. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that strong degree of assortative mating, small population size and insufficient supply in gamete donors will lead to greater risk of consanguinity. Recommendations under other settings are also tabulated for reference. A web site for calculating the limit for live births per donor is available.

Guardianship of Children Born from Artificial Insemination

Infertility in the world today is no longer an inescapable problem, and doctors have been able to solve the problem of infertile treatment in a coherent way. The birth of children by artificial insemination is in the following ways: 1) Insemination by husband’s sperm with egg inside the uterus or out of it for fertilization, and 2) Inoculation by another sperm (stranger-donor) inside or outside...

Association Between the Fertile Period and Live Birth Post-Kidney Transplantation: A Retrospective Single-Center Cohort Study.

BACKGROUND Despite restoration of fertility after kidney transplantation, the benefit is limited in female kidney recipients. Our objective is to determine the reasons for this discrepancy. METHODS We evaluated 315 women who underwent kidney transplantation from 1983 to 2015 (a median of age at transplantation [10th-90th percentile] of 32 years [7-55 years]); 230 recipients between the ages o...

The type of catheter has no impact on the pregnancy rate after intrauterine insemination: a randomized study.

BACKGROUND This study was done to test the hypothesis that intrauterine insemination (IUI) using a soft-tip catheter results in a higher live birth rate than IUI using a hard-tip catheter. METHODS Five hundred and forty patients were randomized into those inseminated with a soft-tip catheter (group 1, n = 267) and those inseminated with a hard-tip catheter (group 2, n = 269). Four patients we...
