The physiologic importance of the endometrium in assisted reproductive technology is now receiving much research attention. The historical importance of ultrasound for determination of endometrial pattern, thickness and contractility is reviewed and speculation provided for a possible mechanism of the adverse effect of thin endometrium on implantation.

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is the technology used to achieve pregnancy in procedures such as fertility medication, artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization and surrogacy. It is reproductive technology used primarily for infertility treatments, and is also known as fertility treatment. It mainly belongs to the field of reproductive endocrinology and infertility, and may also i...

harlequin ichthyosis is a rare and the most severe form of congenital ichthyosis. although prenatal diagnosis is difficult for this disorder, recently, this obstacle has markedly improved with the use of dna-based prenatal diagnosis. here in, we presented a neonate with harlequin ichthyosis born by assisted reproductive technology (art). in this case, the diagnosis of harlequin ichthyosis was n...

background: determination of oocyte fertilization and embryo quality are one of the most important purposes in art cycles. follicular fluid provides an important microenvironment for development of oocytes and some biochemical characteristics of the follicular fluid, such as pregnancy-associated plasma protein-a (papp-a), may play an important role in prediction of success rate of art. objectiv...

This paper provides an appraisal of countries that have legislations pertaining to assisted reproductive technologies (ART). In doing so, the paper highlights the emphasis on the protection of reproductive freedom of the couples seeking ART treatment. This belief is grounded primarily on the basic notion of liberalism that attaches primary importance to respect for individual freedom, which is ...

This evidence-based review focuses on the impact of potentially modifiable, non-communicable lifestyle factors on reproductive performance in the general population and the infertile population undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment. The impact of several lifestyle factors including; age, weight, smoking, diet, exercise, psychological stress, caffeine consumption, alcohol c...
