Article Synopsis
  • - The quality of gametes, specifically the DNA fragmentation in sperm and the developmental capacity of oocytes, is crucial for successful IVF outcomes, prompting research into these qualities.
  • - Cumulus cells are identified as important non-invasive indicators of oocyte development competence through gene expression analysis, with specific focus on markers like GDF-9, HAS2, GREM1, and PTGS2.
  • - The review utilizes bioinformatics to analyze these gene expressions, aiming to enhance understanding of infertility causes and improve methods for assessing oocyte development competence across diverse women's cohorts.

oocyte maturation (IVM) has been used worldwide. Despite the long-term implementation, the uptake of this procedure to complement current fertilization (IVF) remains low. The main reason is likely due to the non-synchronization of protocol and definition criteria, leading to difficulty in collective proper outcome data worldwide and, thus, lack of understanding of the exact IVM procedure.

INVOcell is considered an alternative to conventional IVF proposed for intravaginal embryo culture; however, implementation is still low because evidence is scanty regarding its outcome and, most importantly, the device's user satisfaction. Thus, we aim to compare the embryo outcome of sibling oocytes following INVOcell culture with conventional IVF (cIVF) by assessing its clinical outcome (fertilization, blastulation rate, and good embryo quality) and the user satisfaction evaluation based on a local validation questionnaire. A prospective study was done at a university-setting hospital for 12 months (July 2021-2022).

BACKGROUND Uterine rupture is uncommon but when it happens, it can cause significant morbidity and mortality to both mother and fetus. Incidence reportedly is higher in scarred than in unscarred uteri. Most cases occur in laboring women in their third trimester with a previous history of uterine surgery, such as caesarean delivery or myomectomy.

Objectives: To compare patient satisfaction and exclusive breastfeeding rates for patients discharged from the hospital on postcesarean day 1 (next day) or day 2.

Methods: Healthy women admitted for planned cesarean delivery were randomized to day 1 or day 2 discharge. Postoperative assessment for suitability for discharge was based on defined criteria.
