Unhealthy air quality secondary to wildfires is associated with lower blastocyst yield.

Objective: To study the impact of unhealthy air quality from the 2020 Oregon wildfires on outcomes for patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment.

Design: A retrospective cohort study.

Setting: A university-based fertility clinic.

Strengthening the Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Curriculum Through Three Interactive Cases.

Introduction: Improved reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) curricula are needed to address educational deficiencies both at our institution and on a national level. To improve REI education for OB/GYN residents and medical students, we developed and piloted a curriculum with in-person and virtual flexibility.

Methods: We developed three clinical vignettes for a facilitator-led case-based discussion among OB/GYN residents: two office cases and one emergency scenario.

Increased Risk of Preeclampsia with Assisted Reproductive Technologies.

Purpose Of Review: We summarized recent available data to assess the association between assisted reproductive technology (ART) and risk for preeclampsia.

Recent Findings: The majority of clinical studies supporting the association of preeclampsia and ART are retrospective. Published data from both clinical and pre-clinical studies suggest specific ART procedures may contribute to the increased risk, including in vitro embryo handling and development, hormone stimulation, transfer cycle types, and use of donor oocytes/embryos.

Mifepristone-misoprostol combination treatment for early pregnancy loss after embryo transfer: a case series.

Objective: Evidence strongly supports the use of mifepristone-misoprostol combination treatment for early pregnancy loss (EPL) among pregnancies conceived without assisted reproductive technologies. No literature exists, however, regarding the efficacy of this treatment in the medical management of EPL among pregnancies after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). These patients differ as some use exogenous hormonal supplementation to provide pregnancy support.

Patients with Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Have Similar Embryonic Preimplantation Genetic Testing Aneuploidy Rates and In Vitro Fertilization Outcomes to Infertility Patients.

Objective: To evaluate aneuploidy rates and in vitro fertilization (IVF)/pregnancy outcomes for patients undergoing IVF and preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) with a recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) diagnosis compared to infertility diagnoses without RPL.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Academic fertility center.
