Article Synopsis
- Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a common fertility treatment, but the ways it's done can be very different at different clinics, and there are extra methods that might help it work better.
- This study looked at many previous trials to see which add-on methods are actually helpful and safe for IUI treatments.
- They found that using vaginal progesterone and endometrial scratch techniques might increase the chances of getting pregnant, but the proof isn't very strong for all methods.
Isolated fallopian tube torsion: A systematic review of case reports.
Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol
May 2024
Objective: To combine all literature describing cases of isolated fallopian tube torsion in adult non pregnant patients in a systematic manner, to optimize knowledge and practice both for diagnosis and management.
Study Design: EMBASE and PubMed databases were searched for the terms 'tubal' OR 'fallopian tube' AND 'isolated' AND 'torsion' from the inception of these databases to July 5, 2023. All case reports or case series of adult patients (18 years or older) with isolated fallopian tube torsion were included.
Background: There is no consensus on tests required to either diagnose unexplained infertility or use for research inclusion criteria. This leads to heterogeneity and bias affecting meta-analysis and best practice advice.
Objectives: This systematic review analyses the variability of inclusion criteria applied to couples with unexplained infertility.
Objective: How do numbers of oocytes retrieved per In vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycle impact on the live birth rate (LBR) and multiple gestation pregnancy (MGP) rates?
Design: Retrospective observational longitudinal study.
Setting: UK IVF clinics.
Population: Non-donor IVF patients.
Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how changes in a hormone called progesterone might be linked to unexplained infertility in women.
- Researchers found that women with unexplained infertility had different reactions to progesterone compared to women who were fertile.
- The results suggest that these hormonal changes could affect the ability of the uterus to get ready for pregnancy, and more research could help find new ways to treat infertility.
Effects of metformin treatment on pregnancy outcomes in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Expert Rev Endocrinol Metab
March 2021
Introduction: This review covers the current evidence regarding the use of metformin as a therapeutic intervention for optimizing pregnancy outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Areas Covered: After searching Medline, Embase and CINAHL, all important large clinical trials and observational studies plus systematic reviews, meta-analyses and Cochrane reviews have been summarized here. The results have been compared to culminate in a thorough review and discussion on the use of metformin in relation to reproductive outcomes for women with PCOS.
Pregnancies at an advanced reproductive age are increasingly common. However, the safety of pregnancy remains a concern as maternal age is a recognized independent factor for various obstetric complications. Also, age is a risk factor for most systematic health problems and older women are more likely to enter into pregnancy with pre-existing conditions.

There is an apparent familial inheritance with first-degree relatives of sufferers more likely to be affected. Twin studies have suggested a genetic cause but candidate genes are yet to be verified.
