Sperm morphology by strict criteria does not predict clinical pregnancy rate following intra-uterine insemination.

Objective: To determine the impact of abnormal sperm morphology of the pre-washed semen sample on the day of intrauterine insemination (IUI) on clinical pregnancy rates (CPR).

Design: Cross sectional retrospective chart review.

Setting: Academic fertility center.

Previous mode of delivery and pregnancy outcomes after single euploid embryo transfer: A retrospective study.

Research Question: Are the pregnancy outcomes (clinical, biochemical and ectopic pregnancies) of women with a history of vaginal birth and women with a history of caesarean section who underwent single euploid embryo transfer at Fakih IVF Fertility Centre comparable?

Design: This retrospective cross-sectional chart review with multi-variate analysis, including 1157 women, compared pregnancy outcomes between women with a history of caesarean section and women with a history of vaginal birth who underwent in-vitro fertilization (IVF) at Fakih IVF Fertility Centre. All women who underwent single euploid frozen embryo transfer were included. Fresh and multiple embryo transfers were excluded.

Ethnic and Sociocultural Differences in Ovarian Reserve: Age-Specific Anti-Müllerian Hormone Values and Antral Follicle Count for Women of the Arabian Peninsula.

Background: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and antral follicle count (AFC) age-specific reference values form the basis of infertility treatments, yet they were based upon studies performed primarily on Caucasian populations. However, they may vary across different age-matched ethnic populations. This study aimed to describe age-specific serum AMH and AFC for women native to the Arabian Peninsula.

Inhibin A-A Promising Predictive Parameter for Determination of Final Oocyte Maturation in Ovarian Stimulation for IVF/ICSI.

The number of mature oocytes is a key factor in the success of Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART). Exogenous gonadotropins are administered during ovarian stimulation in order to maximize the number of oocytes available for fertilization. During stimulation, monitoring is mandatory to evaluate individual response, to avoid treatment complications and assist in the determination of the optimal day for final oocyte maturation and oocyte retrieval.

Significant Serum Progesterone Variations on the Day of Final Oocyte Maturation in Stimulated IVF Cycles.

To evaluate intraday serum progesterone levels on the day of final oocyte maturation in women undergoing ovarian stimulation in a GnRH-antagonist protocol. The study was done as a prospective observational study at a Private IVF centre in Muscat, Oman. 30 patients were recruited from May 2018 to March 2019.

Sex differences in stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation in French primary care. Results of the AFIGP (Atrial Fibrillation In General Practice) database.

Background And Objectives: Most of the French patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF) are managed by general practitioners (GPs). The objective was to evaluate stroke prevention in AF patients ahead of the arrival of the non vitamin K oral anticoagulant in France.

Methods: A cross-sectional study using a French GPs database of all patients with a diagnosis of AF consulting their GP between July-2010 and June-2011.
