[Profiles and motivations of women seeking oocyte preservation in France: A two-years' survey].

Objectives: The new bioethics law of August 2, 2021 allows French women to self-preserve.

Methods: National observational survey over 2 years based on an online questionnaire conducted under the aegis of GEDO (Groupe d'études pour le don d'ovocytes).

Results: The average age of the 282 women who answered the questionnaire, 34.

Expanding the phenotypic spectrum of ARCN1-related syndrome.

Purpose: This study aimed to describe the phenotypic and molecular characteristics of ARCN1-related syndrome.

Methods: Patients with ARCN1 variants were identified, and clinician researchers were connected using GeneMatcher and physician referrals. Clinical histories were collected from each patient.

Luteal phase progesterone supplementation following induced natural cycle frozen embryo transfer: A retrospective cohort study.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to assess the impact on the clinical pregnancy rate of luteal phase progesterone treatment in patients being prepared for natural cycle frozen embryo transfer (FET) with induced ovulation.

Material And Methods: This retrospective cohort study collect all the FET protocols over a 6-month period at Strasbourg University Hospital fertility unit between December 2016 and May 2017. In total 293 consecutive patients with regular menstrual cycles were prepared for natural cycle FET during this period.

Pregnancy outcome in Turner syndrome: A French multi-center study after the 2009 guidelines.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the application of the French guidelines for pregnancies in Turner syndrome (TS) and their impact on perinatal prognosis.

Study Design: We performed a French multi-center retrospective study (14 centers), including TS pregnant patients (spontaneously or by Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)) between January 2006 and July 2017. Only clinical pregnancies were analyzed.

Hypertensive pathologies and egg donation pregnancies: Results of a large comparative cohort study.

Objective: To determine whether egg donation (ED) pregnancies are at higher risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) than those achieved by autologous assisted reproductive technology (ART; controls).

Design: Anonymous comparative observational matched cohort study.

Setting: Assisted reproductive technology centers.

Materno-fetal cardiovascular complications in Turner syndrome after oocyte donation: insufficient prepregnancy screening and pregnancy follow-up are associated with poor outcome.

Context: Recombinant human GH treatment and oocyte donation (OD) have improved the quality of life in women with Turner syndrome (TS). However, life expectancy is reduced, mainly due to cardiovascular complications. Pregnancy may itself increase that risk and be associated with hazardous materno-fetal outcome.

Safety and efficacy of sperm washing in HIV-1-serodiscordant couples where the male is infected: results from the European CREAThE network.

Objective: To examine the safety and effectiveness of assisted reproduction using sperm washing for HIV-1-serodiscordant couples wishing to procreate where the male partner is infected.

Design And Methods: A retrospective multicentre study at eight centres adhering on the European network CREAThE and involving 1036 serodiscordant couples wishing to procreate. Sperm washing was used to obtain motile spermatozoa for 3390 assisted reproduction cycles (2840 intrauterine inseminations, 107 in-vitro fertilizations, 394 intra-cytoplasmic sperm injections and 49 frozen embryo transfers).

Encouraging results despite complexity of multidisciplinary care of HIV-infected women using assisted reproduction techniques.

Background: Assisted reproduction technologies can treat infertility for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositive women. We assessed the efficacy of these techniques in the results and difficulties encountered while conducting our assisted reproduction programme for 49 couples in which at least the woman had HIV infection that was currently under control.

Methods: Treatments included intrauterine insemination (IUI), IVF and ICSI, with ovarian stimulation.

Assisted reproduction techniques for HIV serodiscordant couples: 18 months of experience.

Background: Assisted reproduction techniques can minimize the risk of infection and treat possible sterility associated with serodiscordant couples.

Methods: We assessed the efficacy of these techniques in 57 couples in which at least one partner had human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection that was currently under control (47 men and 10 women). The semen of seropositive men was prepared and tested for viruses.

Nitric oxide donors for patients undergoing IVF. A prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial.

Background: Nitric oxide (NO) is involved in local control of the uterine cycle and in preparation of the uterus for pregnancy. NO donors, acting as vasodilating agents, may therefore have possible therapeutic uses, for example they may be of benefit to patients with a history of implantation failure. In a prospective, comparative, randomized, placebo-controlled study, we assessed the efficacy of nitroglycerin (NTG) administered to 138 IVF patients with a history of implantation failure.
