PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of regressed endometrial hyperplasia (EH) on assisted reproductive technology outcomes, particularly in comparison with infertile women with a relatively normal endometrium. METHODS: This retrospective st…
PURPOSE: To evaluate whether prior SARS-CoV-2 infection adversely affects live birth and perinatal outcomes following subsequent frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) and to further investigate whether the time interval between infection and …
CONTEXT: Abnormal endometrial extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling compromises endometrial receptivity and diminishes the probability of a successful live birth. Serum amyloid A1 (SAA1), a modulator of inflammation, is elevated in the circ…
BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance (IR) contributes to ovarian dysfunctions in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) patients. Serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) is an acute phase protein produced primarily by the liver in response to inflammation. In additi…
OBJECTIVE: Concern regarding the adverse impact of pretreatment of oral contraceptives (OC) prior to ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF) on pregnancy outcome has been debated. We investigated factors that may be associated …
Embryo implantation rate remains an inefficient process in in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) cycles. The role long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays in embryo implantation remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the expressio…
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease in which ovarian dysfunction can be an important cause of infertility. Elevated progesterone (P4) levels during the follicular phase is possibly associated with impaired oocyte quality and pre…
Endometriosis (EMS) is a common gynecological disease in women of reproductive age that causes dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain and infertility, resulting in a major reduction in health-related quality of life. The incidence rate of EMS ha…
