This prospective study was undertaken to reassess the prognostic value of leptin during critical stages of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) and address its role in the functional staging of assisted reproductive technologies at the level of embryo quality. Serum and follicular fluid samples of 100 selected women undergoing the long IVF-ET protocol were collected for leptin and em...

assessment of embryo quality in order to choose the embryos that most likely result in pregnancy is the critical goal in assisted reproductive technologies (art). the current trend in human in vitro fertilization/embryo transfer (ivf/et) protocols is to decrease the rate of multiple pregnancies after multiple embryo transfer with maintaining the pregnancy rate at admissible levels (according to...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate role of serum estradiol levels in predicting likelihood of pregnancy in women undergoing GnRH-a protocol in IVF-ET cycles. DESIGN A 3-year retrospective analysis of estradiol levels on down-regulated day 2, day 6, and day of hCG trigger and subsequent clinical pregnancy rates. SETTING A university hospital tertiary referral centre. POPULATION OR SAMPLE Women undergoi...

The success of reproduction, although gradually increasing over the years, many couples also had been left frustrated following repeated failed attempts. Implantation of the embryo, can only take place in a receptive uterus and inadequate uterine receptivity is responsible for approximately two-thirds of implantation failures. Endometrial receptivity can be reduced by morphological and/or molec...

We aimed to prospectively investigate the paternal antigen-induced cytokine secretion by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in response to hormone treatment in women undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and to examine the predictive value of the cytokine secretion profile in the outcome of IVF treatment, in a pilot study. Twenty-five women were included and IVF treatment was successf...

Although there is confirmed an association between endometriosis and infertility, precise standards of managements have not yet been established. Ablation of endometriotic lesions plus adhesiolysis in minimal to mild endometriosis is more effective than diagnostic laparoscopy alone in improving fertility. Suppression of ovarian function and hormonal treatment alone are not effective in improvin...

Hanan Selman Hessan and Ahmed Mohammed Abbas 563 Abstract Immune status was examined after tonsillectomy operations in 30 children with recurrent acute tonsillitis, their ages ranged between 3-10 years, were clinically diagnosed by ENT surgeon at AlHilla General Teaching Hospital and 10 apparently healthy children were included as a control in the study which lasted from February to May 2011 .I...

More than 15 years have passed since metformin was hailed as a possible treatment for infertility in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) (Velazquez et al., 1994). Though a recent Cochrane Systematic review examining metformin for ovulation induction concludes that ‘the use of metformin in improving reproductive outcomes in women with PCOS appears to be limited’ (Tang et al., 2010), the ...

background: ovarian pregnancy constitutes 0.15-3% of all ectopic pregnancies. the incidence of ectopic pregnancy is on the rise owing to evolution in assisted reproductive techniques (art). the incidence reported following in vitro fertilization (ivf) or embryo transfer (et) is 0.27% per clinical pregnancy. case: we present a case of a 13-weeks ovarian pregnancy following ivf-et and through a r...
