BACKGROUND/AIM Implantation failure after embryo transfer is one of the main problems of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intrauterine pathologies can lead to unsuccessful outcome. The aim of this study was to determine if hysteroscopic examination of uterine cavity and consequent treatment of intrauterine lesions prior to IVF could improve the pregnancy rate in women under 38. METHODS This s...

IntroductionObesity has detrimental influences on women reproductive health. There is little experience in optimizing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) protocols to treat Chinese obese patients who are undergoing vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) therapy.MethodsThe clinical outcome differences were retrospectively analyzed among received gonadotrophin-releasing hormone ag...

The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy in- vitro fertilization, and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in patients with hyper-response Ovarian Stimulation for intrauterine insemination (IUI). A Retrospective study, conducted Ferty9 Fertility Center. Rescue IVF-ET offered forty seven IUI cycles having excessive follicular development patient consent. Patients were counseled IVF conversion whe...

BACKGROUND Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is the leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality during the first trimester and the incidence increases dramatically with in vitro fertilisation and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). The co-existence of an EP with a viable intrauterine pregnancy (IUP) is known as heterotopic pregnancy (HP) affecting about 1% of patients during assisted conception. EP/HP can cau...

This experimental prospective quasi-randomized study examining the impact of a medical clowning encounter after embryo transfer (ET) after in vitro fertilization (IVF) found that the pregnancy rate in the intervention group was 36.4%, compared with 20.2% in the control group (adjusted odds ratio, 2.67; 95% confidence interval, 1.36-5.24). Medical clowning as an adjunct to IVF-ET may have a bene...

This paper reports findings from an AHRC-funded project into the use of more than one language in research projects. Using 35 seminar presentations and 25 researcher profiles, we investigated how researchers from differing disciplines became aware of the possibilities, complexities, and emerging practices of researching where more than one language is used: for example, in initial research desi...

Variations of heavy metals concentrations (Pb, Zn, Ni and Cd) in suspended matter as well as the physical properties (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and pH) at five coastal sites and one reference station (offshore) were measured on seasonal base of the year 2005. Seasonal variations of seawater temperature, salinity, pH and dissolved oxygen were significant different, meanwhile; spati...

BACKGROUND The timing of embryo transfer (ET) after in vitro fertilisation (IVF) remains controversial, and there are no reliable guidelines available to prospectively identify which patients would benefit from either day-3 or blastocyst transfer. While blastocyst transfer is generally favoured over day-3 transfers, very few IVF patients get both in the same treatment cycle. CASE DESCRIPTION ...

This study investigated the risk factors and early predictors for heterotopic pregnancy (HP) after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). From January 2008 to January 2013, 41 cases of HP and 72 cases of intrauterine twin pregnancy after IVF-ET were recruited and retrospectively analyzed. Compared with intrauterine twin pregnancy group, the HP group had a lower basal luteinizing h...
