Introduction: Uterine receptivity was assessed simultaneously by measurement of vasoactive cytokines possibly involved in development of spiral arteries and by assessment of endometrial and uterine arterial blood flow. The objective was to explore the relationship between cytokine-related dysregulation and endometrial vascularisation in women with repeated implantation failures after in vitro fertilisation embryo transfer (IVF-ET).
Materials And Methods: We studied 40 women with recurrent IVF/ICSI-ET failures, despite replacement of more than 10 embryos of 'good quality', and 8 fertile controls.
Study Objective: To describe a novel technique of transvaginal cervicoisthmic cerclage with a polypropylene sling in prevention of preterm labor in pregnant women at high risk.
Design: Retrospective study (Canadian Task Force classification: III).
Setting: University hospital (department of obstetrics and gynecology).
Objective: To investigate the possible influence of follicular maturation and luteinization on anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) secretion and the relationship between per-follicle AMH levels, ovarian follicular status, and responsiveness to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH).
Design: Prospective study.
Setting: University hospital in France.
Background: To investigate the dynamics of serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels during the luteal phase of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) and its possible association with follicle development.
Methods: We prospectively studied 34 women undergoing COH with GnRH agonist and FSH. On the day of hCG (dhCG), serum AMH, estradiol (E2), progesterone and hCG levels were measured, and ovarian follicles were sorted into three size classes: <12, 12-15 and 16-22 mm.
