Pre- and Procedural Factors Influencing the Success of In Vitro Fertilization: Evaluating Embryo Quality and Clinical Pregnancy in Cases of Tubal Factor Infertility.

: While tubal occlusion is a prevalent cause of infertility, accounting for 11-35% of infertility cases among women, there remains a limited understanding of the factors influencing clinical pregnancy following in vitro fertilization (IVF). : In our retrospective, cross-sectional cohort study conducted at a single tertiary center, medical records of women aged 19 to 43 years were analyzed. Logistic regression models were employed to identify the prognostic factors associated with clinical pregnancy after IVF in patients with tubal factor infertility, excluding cases with hydrosalpinx.

Cardiovascular autonomic and peripheral sensory neuropathy in women with obesity.

Introduction: A higher incidence of neural dysfunction in people with obesity has been described. We determined the prevalence of neuropathic lesions in obese women and evaluated their potential association with anthropometric and laboratory parameters.

Patients And Methods: In our cross-sectional study, we enrolled female patients with obesity and without diabetes before obesity treatment.

Endometrium development patterns and BMI groups among fertilization patients; prognostic aspects.

Introduction: The impact of the obesity pandemic on female reproductive capability is a factor that needs to be investigated. In addition, the link between endometrial thickness and fertilization (IVF) outcomes is contentious.

Goal: Our goal was to analyze the association among endometrium development, hormone levels, embryo quality, clinical pregnancy, anamnestic parameters, and body mass index (BMI) in women receiving IVF treatment.

Mitochondrial Differentiation during Spermatogenesis: Lessons from .

Numerous diseases can arise as a consequence of mitochondrial malfunction. Hence, there is a significant focus on studying the role of mitochondria in cancer, ageing, neurodegenerative diseases, and the field of developmental biology. Mitochondria could exist as discrete organelles in the cell; however, they have the ability to fuse, resulting in the formation of interconnected reticular structures.

Reducing radicality in fertility-sparing surgery is associated with improved in vitro fertilization outcome in early-stage cervical cancer: A national retrospective study.

Objective: Fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) aims to achieve oncological outcomes that are non-inferior to radical treatment while preserving fertility and optimizing reproductive results. This study assesses in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes in early-stage cervical cancer survivors following FSS, comparing radical and non-radical approaches.

Methods: This retrospective analysis used data from Hungary's National Health Insurance Fund (2004-2022) on patients who underwent IVF treatment following FSS for early-stage cervical cancer at ten Hungarian fertility clinics.

Paramedical counselling in infertility treatment: its effects on anxio-depressive symptom severity, perceived stress and self-esteem.

Aims: The importance of contributing psychological factors and stress-control in female infertility is well documented, but research on their role in male infertility is scarce. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of a novel paramedical counselling on anxio-depressive symptom severity, perceived stress and self-esteem in infertile men participating in an infertility treatment programme.

Methods: Patients were recruited from clinics of University of Szeged, Hungary between 2019 May and 2020 December, and were sorted into control (n = 51) and experimental (n = 57) groups, where patients in the experimental group received a 5-session paramedical counselling in extension to their medical treatment.

Adaptive coping strategies in male infertility, paramedical counselling as a way of support.

: In the last decades, the number of infertile males increased worldwide which gained more focus. The extent to which a person or a couple is able to cope adaptively with the problem of infertility depends on the combined effect of several variables. Our aim was to apply counselling among males suffering from infertility problems.

Associated perinatal determinants of vanishing twin pregnancies achieved by in vitro fertilization vs. spontaneous conception.

Purpose: To evaluate whether vanishing twin (VT) pregnancies following spontaneous conception have a more adverse perinatal outcome than those conceived after assisted reproduction techniques.

Methods: The retrospective cohort study consisted of 316 VT pregnancies derived from a hospital database between January 1994 and January 2016 (81 after IVF/ICSI and 235 after spontaneous conception).

Results: VT was significantly more prevalent after spontaneous conception (in 22.

Prevalences and pregnancy outcome of vanishing twin pregnancies achieved by in vitro fertilization versus natural conception.

Objective: To evaluate whether vanishing twin (VT) pregnancies achieved by in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ICSI) had a more adverse perinatal outcome than those after natural conception.

Design: Longitudinal, retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Tertiary university hospital.

Pregnancy Rate after Controlled Ovarian Hyperstimulation and Intrauterine Insemination for the Treatment of Endometriosis following Surgery.

Objective: To compare pregnancy rate after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and intrauterine insemination (COH-IUI) with no treatment in patients with endometriosis-associated infertility treated with laparoscopy.

Design: A clinical cohort study.

Setting: University-level tertiary care center.

Pregnancy achieved by transfer of a single blastocyst selected by time-lapse monitoring.

Appropriate selection of a single blastocyst for transfer decreases the risk of multiple gestations. By using a compact time-lapse microscope system placed inside a regular incubator, combined with a microwell embryo culture dish, the development of all the embryos from a patient was continuously monitored by obtaining images at 10 min intervals. The embryos were not moved during the time-lapse observation.

Social dynamics of postpartum depression: a population-based screening in South-Eastern Hungary.

Purpose: To determine contributing psychosocial factors to postnatal depression (PND) in Hungary in 1996 and in 2006.

Methods: In 1996 and 2006, a total of 2,333 and 1,619 women, respectively, were screened for PND in South-Eastern Hungary, based on a Leverton questionnaire (LQ) score of ≥ 12 at 6-10 weeks after delivery.

Results: The LQ scores indicated an increase in PND from 15.

Validation of the Leverton Questionnaire as a screening tool for postnatal depression in Hungary.

Objective: To assess the validity of the 24-item Leverton Questionnaire (LQ) in screening for postnatal depression (PND).

Method: A two-phase, cross-sectional study was designed. Between January and October 2006, a sample of 1552 women attending a routine postnatal check-up at 6 weeks postpartum completed the LQ in southeast Hungary.

Comparison of serum and follicular fluid hormone levels with recombinant and urinary human chorionic gonadotropin during in vitro fertilization.

Objective: To study serum and follicular fluid (FF) hormone levels after the administration of urinary or recombinant hCG to initiate the final stages of oocyte maturation during IVF.

Design: Prospective randomized study between 250 microg of recombinant hCG and 7,500 IU of urinary hCG as the final trigger of ovulation during IVF.

Setting: Private IVF center.

Effect of cigarette smoking on DNA damage of human cumulus cells analyzed by comet assay.

Cigarette smoking has been reported to induce intrafollicular oxidative stress that may lead to DNA damage. The purpose of this study was to determine damage in DNA in human cumulus cells caused by tobacco smoke in females who had received in vitro fertilization. The level of DNA damage in freshly isolated cumulus cells was determined by comet assay.
