Many studies failed to show a predictive impact of AMH levels on the chances of pregnancy; however, acceptable pregnancy rates for young women with low AMH levels were observed in IVF + / - ICSI. The objectives of this retrospective study were to evaluate the clinical pregnancy and live birth rates in the first IVF + / - ICSI cycle in women under 38 years old with AMH level < 1.2 ng/ml and to determine the arguments for care.

Objective: Unexplained infertility is defined by the absence of identifiable causes of infertility. The results of randomized studies and meta-analysis regarding the treatment of unexplained infertility are discordant due to methodological problems.

Design: The aim of this study is to compare the clinical pregnancy rate per cycle (CPR/c) in IUI and IVF/ICSI in cases of unexplained infertility, according to the woman's age group and to identify the factors which predict success.

None of the models developed in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) is sufficiently good predictors of pregnancy. The aim of this study was to determine whether ratios between prognostic factors could predict the clinical pregnancy rate in IVF/ICSI. We analyzed IVF/ICSI cycles (based on long GnRH agonist-FSH protocols) at two ART centers (the second to validate externally the data).

Objective: The aim of this study was to highlight the outcome of complete hydatidiform mole (CHM) coexisting with a live co-twin.

Methods: We investigated four cases of such pregnancy by ultrasound, pathological, cytogenetic, and molecular techniques. Information on clinical follow-up and outcome was also available.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to assess fetal serum ss2-microglobulin and cystatin C as predictors of post-natal kidney function in cases of bilateral kidney issues, which is important for identifying potential nephropathies before birth.
  • - Researchers examined 54 cases of bilateral nephropathy, establishing diagnoses through post-natal or histological evaluations, and found that elevated levels of the markers in cases of renal hypoplasia and cystic dysplasia indicated worse post-natal outcomes.
  • - Results showed that while high levels of ss2-microglobulin and cystatin C in specific conditions predict post-natal renal failure, normal levels in cases of hyperechogenic kidneys do not guarantee healthy kidney function.
