Purpose: Studies have shown mixed findings regarding the impact of stress on the success of fertility treatments. To the best of our knowledge, stress in the context of the workplace has not been investigated to date in relation to the success of fertility treatments. This research investigates the impact of work-related stress and emotional exhaustion experienced by both partners on in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment outcomes.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, based on an electronic health record database, 4517 women with RA were compared to 1415 patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Patients were 18-40 years-of-age at diagnosis.
Objective: To study the perinatal outcomes of children born from different conception methods: in vitro fertilization (IVF) with autologous oocytes or IVF with donor egg vs. those conceived without medical assistance by using a sibling analysis.
Design: Retrospective cohort study conducted using electronic medical record data from 2000 through 2018, of a national healthcare organization.
Aim: To compare clinical outcomes using short and long co-incubation protocols in sibling oocytes based on embryo morphokinetic outcomes measured by time-lapse incubator with stratification based on a woman's age and sperm quality.
Design: Our study included 72 cycles with >6 oocytes retrieved. Sibling oocytes were distributed for two parallel protocols: short (3 h; n = 421) or long (16-20 h; n = 434) insemination, using the same amount of spermatozoa from the same prepared sample.
Article Synopsis
- Galactin-3 is involved in crucial reproductive processes like oocyte maturation and implantation, and its expression may predict successful embryo implantation during IVF.
- A study involving 21 women undergoing IVF measured Galactin-3 levels in blood and follicular fluid at various stages of the IVF cycle.
- Results showed that higher Galactin-3 levels on the trigger day were associated with successful pregnancies, suggesting its role in fertility and the impact of inflammation on IVF success.
