[ 3 ] - I-26: The Role of Endometrial Injury in Improvement of The Pregnancy Rate in Patients Undergoing ART

Background: Because implantation failure is more frequent, many methods have been suggested to improve the implantation; however, their results have been inconsistent. One of the most hopeful methods is local endometrial injury. To explore the possibility that local injury of the endometrium increases the incidence of implantation and pregnancy rate in the subsequent IVF cycle in patients havin...

[ 8 ] - I-21: The Expression of TLRs in Follicular Cells of Poor Ovarian Responder

Background: One of the most annoying problems in IVF is poor ovarian response. It is anticipated that 5-18% of all IVF cycle are affected by poor response to ovarian hyperstimulation. Poor response to goandotropin may lead to decline in the pool of embryos for transfer or cryoperservation, and decrease pregnancy rates. Different mechanisms explain poor ovarian response for example decreased num...

[ 9 ] - I-24: Recurrent Implantation Failure

Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) has many definitions, but usually authors consider RIF, the failure to achieve a pregnancy fallowing 2-6 IVF cycles in which more than 10 high grade embryos were transferred to the uterus. There are a lot of causes for RIF but two main causes of that are related to embryo and endometrium. Chromosomal abnormalities, zona hardening and problems in culture medi...

Background: Our Background was to evaluate the effect of ovarian endometrioma on ovarian stimulation outcomes in Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). Materials and Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we followed 103 patients underwent ICSI procedures at royan Institute during 10 month. The study group consisted of 46 women who had endometriomawith size more than 1 cm. The control gr...

[ 12 ] - Posthumous Assisted Reproduction from Islamic Perspective

Rapid development in assisted reproductive techniques along with relieving the pain of childlessness has brought new ethical and policy dilemmas. Posthumous assisted reproduction is the most challenging, difficult and sensitive issue to be discussed ethically and religiously. In this paper the acceptability of the posthumous reproduction in Islamic contexts is evaluated and major concerns like ...

a:4:{s:10:"Background";s:431:"Parental anxiety while waiting for the results of amniocentesis has been investigated by many authors. It seems that the implementation of faster techniques such as fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) will have some benefits in reducing this anxiety. Besides the patients' attitudes to choosing this method, gynecologists who are the persons responsible for tre...

[ 14 ] - The Pregnancy Outcome of Singletons in IVF/ ICSI Cycles: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background The aim of this study was to compare prenatal outcome of intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) pregnancies with pregnancies obtained through in vitro fertilization (IVF). MaterialsAndMethods Retrospectively 532 pregnancies of ART cycles were assessed during 1999-2000. The main outcome measured including abortions, ectopic pregnancies, prematurity, low birth weight, cesarean sectio...

[ 15 ] - Dexamethasone As a Supplement for Exogenous Gonadotropin to Improve Ovarian Response of Women over 35 Years Undergoing IVF/ICSI Cycles

Background With aging, the ovarian reserve is decreased and that is a major contributor to poor ovarian response to exogenous gonadotropins. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the role of Dexamethasone on ovarian response in infertile patients aged over 35 years undergoing IVF/ICSI cycles. MaterialsAndMethods In this triple blind placbo-control clinical trial study, a total of 72 infer...
