Female ageing and reproductive outcome in assisted reproduction cycles

Remifentanil versus Fentanyl for Assisted Reproductive Technologies :Effect on Hemodynamic Recovery from Anesthesia and Outcome of ART Cycles

Impact of female age and male infertility on ovarian reserve markers to predict outcome of assisted reproduction technology cycles

BACKGROUND This study was designed to assess the capability of ovarian reserve markers, including baseline FSH levels, baseline anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels, and antral follicle count (AFC), as predictors of live births during IVF cycles, especially for infertile couples with advanced maternal age and/or male factors. METHODS A prospective cohort of 336 first IVF/ICSI cycles undergoing...

comparison of two embryo scoring systems for prediction of outcome in assisted reproductive techniques cycles

cumulative embryo score (ces) is one of the many embryo scoring methods which have been developed to help clinicians to transfer high quality embryos and predict pregnancy rate in assisted reproductive techniques (art) cycles. regarding the existing difference in ces calculation this study was done to compare two methods in order to determine the more practical and preferable one. in a retrospe...

Luteal phase support for assisted reproduction cycles.

BACKGROUND Progesterone prepares the endometrium for pregnancy by stimulating proliferation in response to human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which is produced by the corpus luteum. This occurs in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. In assisted reproduction techniques (ART) the progesterone or hCG levels, or both, are low and the natural process is insufficient, so the luteal phase is sup...

Oxidative Stress and its Role in Female Infertility and Assisted Reproduction: Clinical Implications

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in physiological functions and act as mediators in various signaling processes. Elevated or sustained generation of free radicals and non radical species derived from free radicals can lead to an imbalance in the intracellular redox homeostasis. Normally, any excess levels of reactive radical and nonradical species generated are intercepted by antioxid...
