Effects of pentoxifylline and platelet activating factor on sperm DNA damage.

Objective: Pentoxifylline and platelet-activating factor (PAF) have been used to increase sperm motility in embryology laboratories. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether these agents pose sperm DNA damage using DNA sperm chromatin dispersion (SCD) assay.

Study Design: Following application of pentoxifylline and PAF, sperm samples of 50 individuals with different sperm parameters were compared to baseline in terms of DNA damage using SCD assay.

Multiple repeat cesarean delivery is associated with increased maternal morbidity irrespective of placenta accreata.

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the perinatal morbidity associated with multiple repeat cesarean deliveries (CD) and, thus, to achieve a body of evidence for the current practice of discouraging pregnancy after undergoing three CDs.

Patients And Methods: This study prospectively reviewed a total of 500 women who consecutively underwent CD between January 1, 2009 and April 1, 2009. The patients were allocated into four groups based on the number of CDs they had undergone (Group 1: first CD, Group 2: second CD, Group 3: third CD, Group 4: fourth CD).

Endometriomas in adolescents and young women.

Design: Retrospective medical chart review study.

Setting: Adolescent gynecology and infertility clinic of a tertiary care hospital with women's health focus.

Office hysteroscopy improves pregnancy rates following IVF.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of office hysteroscopy (OH) on pregnancy rate in patients undergoing IVF. A total of 1258 patients attending an IVF clinic with normal hysteroscopic findings were enrolled. The impact of timing of OH before embryo transfer on pregnancy rate was investigated.
