Male factor infertility affects 30%-50% of infertile couples worldwide, and there is an increasing interest in the optimal management of these patients. In studies comparing double and single intrauterine insemination (IUI), a trend towards higher pregnancy rates in couples with male factor infertility was observed. Therefore, we set out to perform a meta-analysis to examine the superiority of ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of fallopian sperm perfusion (FSP) using a new method similar to the FAST system in comparison with standard intrauterine insemination (IUI) in patients with unexplained infertility. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, controlled study. SETTING Assisted conception service in a University Hospital. PATIENT(S) Women with unexplained infertility undergoing cont...

BACKGROUND Sperm DNA integrity has been used as a new marker of sperm quality in the prediction of pregnancy. Nevertheless, no previous study has been performed by analysing the same samples that were employed in assisted reproduction. The main objective of this work was to correlate sperm chromatin dispersion (SCD), measured by the SCD test, with semen parameters and pregnancy outcome in intra...

OBJECTIVE To compare timed intercourse and IUI with the husband's sperm in patients with unexplained infertility who are undergoing superovulation with gonadotropins. DESIGN Meta-analysis. All published reports of randomized, prospective studies with an English-language abstract extracted from MEDLINE were analyzed. A crossover search was done from the papers obtained. SETTING Academic cent...

BACKGROUND Urocortin is a neuropeptide produced by the human endometrium and has biological effects putatively important for promoting blastocyst implantation. We measured urocortin concentrations in samples of endometrial wash fluid collected from women with unexplained infertility who underwent intrauterine insemination (IUI). METHODS Patients 28-42 years of age (n = 71) were consecutively ...
