Objectives: To identify those proteins differentially expressed in the uterine cavity according to cycle day or estrogen level and to produce a two-dimensional protein map of proliferative phase uterine flushings. Materials and Methods: Uterine flushings were obtained from 31 women undergoing evaluation for infertility prior to assisted reproductive technology treatment (ART). Five patients exh...

background: unexplained infertility is still a challenging issue as to its causes, appropriate management and treatment. evidence implicates early embryopathy or implantation failure as likely causes. objective: this study aims to investigate the effect of local endometrial injury on pregnancy rate in selected unexplained infertile patients. materials and methods: this was a randomized clinical...

We carried out a prospective randomized trial on 220 couples with nontubal factor infertility to compare pregnancy rates and implantation rates after zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT) and uterine embryo transfer (UET). The zygote was transferred by laparoscopy into the fallopian tube 24 hours after oocyst retrieval. UET was performed 72 hours after retrieval with abdominal sonography guide....

reproductive abnormalities cause major losses of sheep production. abattoir materials were used todetermine the extent of reproductive wastage. reproductive tracts were collected from 524 ewes slaughtered at urmia slaughter-house in urmia, northwest of iran, during a period of 12 months. overall, 30.10% of the ewes examined were pregnant. a total of 149 (28.44%) tracts developed acquired reprod...

Methods: This is a prospective comparative study done among 50 new cases of primary and secondary infertility presenting to infertility clinic of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital from March 2006 – 2007. HSG was performed in the proliferative phase of menstrual cycle followed by HSC in the proliferative phase of the same or the following cycle. Intra uterine findings on HSG were evaluated ...

Our objective is to describe a successful live birth from oocyte vitrification followed by thaw, fertilization, blastocyst culture, trophectoderm biopsy, vitrification, and subsequent thaw. Fifteen mature oocytes were frozen from a patient with uterine factor infertility. Thirteen oocytes survived the thaw, and five underwent trophectoderm biopsy and were refrozen. Three euploid embryos were ob...

BACKGROUND Intramural leiomyomas have been long debated as a potential cause of infertility and pregnancy loss. FINDINGS Previous research has linked intramural fibroids to defective implantation, as well as to abnormal peristaltic events of the uterine smooth muscle. Previous reports describe the effects of intramural fibroids on normal human fertility and early pregnancy loss, specifically ...

BACKGROUND The role of Mycoplasma genitalium in the pathogenesis of pelvic inflammatory disease has not been characterized. METHODS Sera from 308 infertile women were investigated for antibodies to M. genitalium by immunoblotting. Women with tubal factor infertility (TFI) made up 132 of the patients, 67 of the women had an infertile male partner and 109 were infertile for unknown reasons. R...

Uterine fibroma, leiomyoma or myoma, is both the most common solid tumor, as well as the most frequent smooth muscle tumor in women [1, . It occurs in about 50% of women of reproductive age, and although many leiomyomas are asymptomatic, they may well lead to perturbing symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure symptoms and infertility . Consequently, this benign uterine tumor ...

Infertility caused by ovarian or tubal problems can be treated using In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer (IVF-ET); however, this is not possible for women with uterine loss and malformations that require uterine reconstruction for the treatment of their infertility. In this study, we are the first to report the usefulness of decellularized matrices as a scaffold for uterine reconstructio...
