Assisted reproductive treatment outcomes of women with endometriomas: Either with or without previous ovarian surgery.

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the assisted reproductive technique (ART) outcomes of women with endometriomas either with or without prior endometrioma surgery.

Materials And Methods: A total of 122 women with endometriomas underwent intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (ICSI-ET) at a tertiary IVF Center, between 2014 and 2019, were included in this retrospective study. Of this group, 38 patients had recurrent endometriomas and 84 patients had primary endometrioma without a previous endometrioma surgery.

Oxytocin and cabergoline alleviate ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) by suppressing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in an experimental model.

Purpose: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a life-threatening complication of ovarian stimulation in reproductive medicine. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of oxytocin (OT) and cabergoline in the prevention and alleviation of the OHSS in an animal model.

Methods: Thirty-five female immature Wistar rats were randomly assigned to five groups.

Live birth after frozen-thawed embryo transfer: which endometrial preparation protocol is better?

Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes of modified natural cycle (mNC) and artificial cycle (AC) protocols for frozen embryo transfers.

Material And Methods: A total of 490 frozen-thawed autologous embryo transfer cycles, performed in a single tertiary IVF center, between January 2015 and September 2017, were retrospectively analyzed. Of these, 214 cycles were performed after mNC and 276 cycles were performed after gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist plus sequential estrogen and progestin priming protocol.

In vitro fertilization-induced pregnancies predispose to gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Background: Women conceiving following in vitro fertilization (IVF) likely have a variety of risk factors that predispose them to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in the future.

Objective: We aimed to investigate whether pregnancy through IVF may predispose to subsequent GERD compared with pregnancies without IVF. We also evaluate whether twin IVF pregnancies lead to additional risk for having GERD compared with singleton IVF pregnancies.

Expression of interleukin-8 and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 in women with endometriosis.

Objective: To investigate the expression and localization of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) in women with and without endometriosis.

Design: Comparative immunohistochemical study.

Setting: Academic medical center.

The effects of female age on the outcome of testicular sperm extraction and intracytoplasmic sperm injection in infertile patients with azoospermia.

Introduction: Testicular sperm extraction (TESE) is well-defined procedure for surgical sperm retrieval in obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia. This study was focused on the effectiveness of testicular sperm extraction and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) for azoospermic men with different female age subgroups.

Materials And Methods: A total of 107 men with azoospermia underwent TESE and ICSI treatment.
