Low-dose aspirin prophylaxis to prevent hypertensive disorders of pregnancy after in vitro fertilisation: a scoping review protocol.

Introduction: Pregnancies resulting from in vitro fertilisation are associated with an increased risk of developing hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, such as preeclampsia, when compared with naturally conceived pregnancies.

Objective: The efficacy of aspirin prophylaxis to reduce the incidence of preeclampsia is well established in naturally conceived pregnancies identified as high risk for developing preeclampsia. However, the efficacy of aspirin to reduce the rate of preeclampsia for all pregnancies resulting from in vitro fertilisation remains uncertain, although in vitro fertilisation conception is a well-known risk factor for preeclampsia.

Impact of Assisted Reproduction Techniques on Adverse Maternal Outcomes and on the Rate of Hospitalization in Maternal Intensive Care.

The aim of this retrospective cohort study is to evaluate the impact of assisted reproductive treatment (ART) on adverse maternal outcomes and the rate of hospitalization in maternal intensive care (MIC) in a tertiary university center in Liege, Belgium. This is a retrospective cohort study comparing two groups, 6557 patients who achieved pregnancy spontaneously and 330 patients who achieved pregnancy after ART, between January 2020 and December 2022. These patients were followed in the academic obstetrics department of Citadelle Hospital, Liège.

[Etiology of preeclampsia after assisted reproductive treatments].

About 12 percent of women require assisted reproductive technology (ART) to get pregnant as infertility concerns more and more couples. Recent studies highlight obstetrical complications after ART such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes or placenta accrete spectrum. Pre-eclampsia is a specific pathology of the pregnancy which can lead to materno-fetal complications including prematurity and intrauterine growth restriction.

[Mental health of children conceived after assisted reproductive treatment].

The prevalence of infertility and the use of assisted reproductive treatment (ART) have been increasing worldwide in recent years. It appeared relevant to conduct a literature review on the safety of these techniques regarding the neurodevelopment and mental health of children and adolescents especially after in vitro fertilization. ART represents obstetrical risk factors.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome and infertility: overview and insights of the putative treatments.

Infertility concerns 15% of the couples. Management of female infertility requires a complete history of the patient followed by a physical, gynecological and endocrine examination. Infertility etiology will be investigated thanks to different tests including ovarian function and reserve assessment, search for uterine abnormalities and evaluation of tubal permeability.

Insights on Molecular Mechanisms of Chondrocytes Death in Osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint pathology characterized by progressive cartilage degradation. Medical care is mainly based on alleviating pain symptoms. Compelling studies report the presence of empty lacunae and hypocellularity in cartilage with aging and OA progression, suggesting that chondrocyte cell death occurs and participates to OA development.
