Background/Objectives: One of the main reasons for discrepancies in the role of vitamin D in ART could be the measurement of the conventional biomarker 25(OH)D3. It is known that this value is affected by multiple factors, such as tissue or…
The aim of this systematic review was to identify clinical decision support algorithms (CDSAs) proposed for assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) and to evaluate their effectiveness in improving ART cycles at every stage vs traditional …
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Endometrial hypoproliferation refers to the failure of the endometrium to reach optimal thickness during fresh or frozen embryo transfer cycles in women undergoing infertility treatment with in-vitro fertilization (IVF). …
Implantation is a critical step in human reproduction. The success of this step is dependent on a competent blastocyst, receptive endometrium, and successful cross talk between the embryonic and maternal interfaces. Recurrent implantation f…
C-X-C ligand 13 (CXCL13), a regulator of mucosal immunity, is secreted by human endometrial epithelium and may be involved in embryo implantation. However, cyclic expression of human endometrial CXCL13 in health and disease is not well stud…
PURPOSE: The rate of embryonic aneuploidy increases with increasing female age and is the primary cause of lower pregnancy and live birth rates (LBR) in older reproductive age women. This retrospective cohort study evaluates single euploid …
C-X-C ligand 13 (CXCL13), a regulator of mucosal immunity, is secreted by human endometrial epithelium and may be involved in embryo implantation. However, cyclic expression of human endometrial CXCL13 in health and disease is not well stud…
PURPOSE: To assess the impact of single pass outpatient endometrial biopsy in patients at the highest risk for an endometrial cause for failed implantation; those that have failed to conceive despite the transfer of morphologically normal e…
PURPOSE: The ideal thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) range for infertile women attempting conception has not been determined. Current recommendations include optimizing the preconception TSH value to ≤2.5 mIU/L, which is the established goa…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate endometrial leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF) expression as a marker of endometrial receptivity in women with unexplained infertility (UI). DESIGN: Prospective case-control study. SETTING: University-associated infert…
