AIMS: To assess the predictive value of estradiol (E2) related parameters on the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in women undergoing fresh embryo transfer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A Post-hoc analysis of a prospective cohort…
OBJECTIVES: Our study tries to investigate the effect of the Mediterranean diet (MeDiet) on assisted reproductive treatment outcomes in women after COVID-19 infection. DESIGN: A prospective observational cohort study in the Reproductive an…
BACKGROUND: Afferent neuronal hypersensitization via P2X3 receptor signaling has been implicated as a driver of several disorders, including refractory chronic cough, endometriosis, diabetic neuropathic pain, and overactive bladder. Eliapix…
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: To analyze whether there is an association between pre-pregnancy lipid parameters and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in women undergoing assisted reproductive technologies (ART), a group especially at risk for G…
BACKGROUND: Vitamin D binding protein (DBP) might increase substantially after ovarian stimulation and hence could be associated with IVF/ICSI outcomes because it determines the fraction of free bioavailable 25(OH) vitamin D. In this study,…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical availability and stability of histological endometrial dating as a tool for personalized frozen-thawed embryo transfer (pFET) in patients with repeated implantation failure (RIF) in natural cycles. METHO…
CONTEXT: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common pregnancy complication, particularly in women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART). An association of GDM with vitamin D in women conceiving naturally has been described;…
BACKGROUND: The risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is higher in women undergoing assisted reproductive treatment than in women conceiving spontaneously. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether the GDM risk after day-3 embryo t…
STUDY QUESTION: Do differences in blood pressure within the normal range have any impacts on the live birth rate (primary outcome) or biochemical pregnancy rate (beta-hCG positivity), clinical pregnancy rate (heart beating in ultrasound), a…
BACKGROUND: It was suggested that vaccination in general might affect reproductive health. Safety of COVID-19 vaccination in women undergoing assisted reproductive techniques (ART) treatment is not well established. METHODS: We performed a…
(Abstracted from Fertil Steril 2019;112:1103–1111) Chronic endometriosis (CE) is a chronic infectious disease that is often misdiagnosed due to its vague symptomatic severity, lack of typical clinical or ultrasounds symptoms, and requiremen…
