The dual roles of uterine monocytes in regulation of tissue homeostasis throughout reproductive cycles in health and disease

Nature immunology ·doi:10.1038/s41590-026-02651-y

Inflammation occurs during the recurring cycles of tissue degradation, repair and remodeling in the uterus, but the mechanisms by which the immune system contributes to uterine tissue integrity are unclear. We reveal that uterine monocytes …

Endometrial scratch to increase live birth rates in women undergoing first-time in vitro fertilisation: RCT and systematic review

Health technology assessment (Winchester, England) ·doi:10.3310/JNZT9406

BACKGROUND: In vitro fertilisation is a widely used reproductive technique that can be undertaken with or without intracytoplasmic sperm injection. The endometrial scratch procedure is an in vitro fertilisation 'add-on' that is sometimes pr…

A randomised controlled trial to assess the clinical effectiveness and safety of the endometrial scratch procedure prior to first-time IVF, with or without ICSI

Human reproduction (Oxford, England) ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deab041

STUDY QUESTION: What is the clinical-effectiveness and safety of the endometrial scratch (ES) procedure compared to no ES, prior to usual first time in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment? SUMMARY ANSWER: ES was safe but did not improve pr…

Growth hormone for in vitro fertilisation (IVF)

The Cochrane database of systematic reviews ·doi:10.1002/14651858.cd000099.pub4

BACKGROUND: In an effort to improve outcomes of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycles, the use of growth hormone (GH) has been considered as adjuvant treatment in ovarian stimulation. Improving the outcomes of IVF is especially important for …

Tubal flushing for subfertility

The Cochrane database of systematic reviews ·doi:10.1002/14651858.cd003718.pub5

BACKGROUND: Establishing the subgroup analysis of the fallopian tubes (tubes) is a commonly undertaken diagnostic investigation for women with subfertility. This is usually achieved by flushing contrast medium through the tubes and visualis…

Induced endometrial trauma (endometrial scratch) in the mid-luteal menstrual cycle phase preceding first cycle IVF/ICSI versus usual IVF/ICSI therapy: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

BMJ open ·doi:10.1136/bmjopen-2017-020755

INTRODUCTION: Endometrial trauma commonly known as endometrial scratch (ES) has been shown to improve pregnancy rates in women with a history of repeated implantation failure undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF), with or without intracyt…

AMH type II receptor and AMH gene polymorphisms are not associated with ovarian reserve, response, or outcomes in ovarian stimulation

Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-016-0711-7

PURPOSE: Genetic variation may influence women's response to ovarian stimulation therapy. The purpose of this study was to investigate any effects of genetic variants in the anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and AMH type II receptor genes on ova…

Tubal flushing for subfertility

The Cochrane database of systematic reviews ·doi:10.1002/14651858.cd003718.pub4

BACKGROUND: Establishing the patency of the fallopian tubes is a commonly undertaken diagnostic investigation for women with subfertility. This is usually achieved by flushing contrast medium through the tubes and taking radiographs. Howeve…

Growth hormone for in vitro fertilization

The Cochrane database of systematic reviews ·doi:10.1002/14651858.cd000099.pub3

BACKGROUND: In an effort to improve outcomes of in-vitro fertilisation cycles the use of growth hormone has been considered. Improving the outcomes of in-vitro fertilisation is especially important for subfertile women who are considered 'p…
