Sexual growth and destiny beliefs: Longitudinal associations with dyadic coping among couples seeking medically assisted reproduction.

Background: Medically assisted reproduction is a vulnerable time for couples' sexual health. Believing that sexual challenges can be worked through (i.e.

Complex reciprocal translocations, more complex than initially thought: a case report.

Objective: To present a case of a couple who experienced spontaneous abortion after the transfer of a preimplantation genetic testing for structural rearrangement (PGT-SR) normal/balanced embryo. The embryo was later determined to have significant paternally inherited chromosome deletion that was not previously identified as part of a complex translocation.

Design: Case report.

The impact of maternal body mass index on in vitro fertilization outcomes.

Objective: To examine the effect of body mass index on gonadotropin dose requirements for ovarian stimulation, as well as other clinical outcomes in women undergoing in vitro fertilization.

Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study involving 752 women undergoing a total of 951 IVF or IVF-ICSI cycles at a private fertility clinic between January 2007 and May 2011. The 951 treatment cycles were divided into three groups according to the weight of the women involved: normal weight (BMI < 25 kg/m², 461 cycles), overweight (25 ≤ BMI < 30 kg/m², 277 cycles), and obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m², 179 cycles).

KISS1 expression in human female adipose tissue.

Objective: The current focus of kisspeptin research is an exploration of its key role in the hypothalamic control of human and animal fertility. Notwithstanding the importance of these studies, strong evidence exists that the gene encoding human kisspeptin, KISS1, is present in several peripheral sites, including the placenta. We also provided evidence that kiss1 is also expressed and regulated in rodent adipose tissue.
