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.
Article Synopsis
- * The study included 346 patients resulting in 496 IVF cycles, revealing no significant difference in pregnancy, live birth, or miscarriage rates between day 3 and day 5 embryo transfers, despite higher cancellation rates for day 5 transfers.
- * Conclusions suggest that while day 5 culture can lead to more cancellations due to failed blastocyst formation, it does not negatively impact pregnancy outcomes and may streamline the IVF process for older women.
Objectives: To investigate treatment approaches for fertility preservation patients, with a focus on timing of oocyte retrieval, and to determine whether their characteristics differ from those of other IVF patients. Additionally, to evaluate the significance of follicle size on triggering day in the context of fertility preservation.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted in a tertiary, university-affiliated medical center.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined the impact of high physical activity on ovarian reserve in women aged 20-35 who have regular menstrual cycles.
- The researchers compared 31 professional female athletes to 31 non-active women, measuring various ovarian reserve indicators such as follicular stimulating hormone and antral follicle count.
- Results indicated that athletes tended to have a higher total antral follicle count and lower Inhibin B levels, suggesting that their ovarian reserves are comparable or possibly better than those of more sedentary women.
Purpose: To determine whether exposure to digital educational content affects fertility awareness and attitudes towards fertility preservation treatments?
Methods: A total of 957 women ages 20 to 45 years participated in this internet-based, interventional, cross-sectional study. A questionnaire assessing knowledge of the reproductive span and attitudes towards fertility preservation treatment was completed by these women before and after exposure to online educational content on ovarian reserve and fertility preservation treatments. Responses before and after exposure to the educational content were compared.
The purpose of this research is to study the efficacy of GnRH-a versus r-hCG triggering in patients who go through fertility preservation cycles. This retrospective cohort study was performed in a tertiary university-affiliated medical center. It includes 191 patients undergoing fertility preservation cycles between May 2013 and September 2018, in which ovulation was induced by either GnRH-a or r-hCG.

Design: A prospective cohort study of 72 patients undergoing IVF in 2017 and 2018. Physiological stress was assessed by salivary cortisol measurements: (i) pretreatment, when the patient received the IVF protocol; (ii) before oocyte retrieval (follicular cortisol was also measured); and (iii) before embryo transfer. Emotional stress was evaluated at each assessment with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and a 1-10 Visual Analogue Scale (VAS, referred to as the 'Stress Scale'.
Purpose: The rise in the rate of cesarean deliveries highlights complications related to adhesion formation. This study evaluated whether the incidence and severity of adhesions secondary to repeat cesarean deliveries are a consequence of repeated surgeries or due to an individual's propensity to develop adhesions.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted for 160 patients who had more than two repeat cesarean deliveries in a single teaching hospital.
