Objective: To evaluate the impact of cessation of fertility services on patients with infertility.
Study Design: A cross-sectional, anonymous mail survey was conducted in a university hospital setting. A total of 281 female infertility patients treated from 2003-2006 were mailed surveys.
Background: Cryopreservation of all embryos in stimulated IVF cycles is occasionally necessary. Although it is known that frozen embryo transfer results in lower live birth rates per transfer, there is limited information regarding expected cumulative live birth rates for patients who are in this particular scenario.
Methods: The objective was to evaluate long-term outcomes in cycles undergoing pronuclear cryopreservation of all embryos utilizing a retrospective analysis of 154 consecutive recipients from 1995 to 2006.
Context: A reduction in maximal mitochondrial ATP production rate (MAPR) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) abundance occurs with age in association with muscle weakness and reduced endurance in elderly people. Branched chain amino acids (BCAA) have been extensively used to improve physical performance.
Objective: The objective was to determine whether an 8-h infusion of BCAA enhances MAPR equally in healthy young and elderly adults.
Objective: To investigate the strategies used to decrease the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and their impact on pregnancy and live birth rates.
Design: Retrospective cohort analysis.
Setting: University hospital.
Objective: To determine the role of saline infusion sonography (SIS) in uterine evaluation before a frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycle.
Design: Retrospective cohort analysis.
Setting: University hospital.
