The association between lifestyle factors and the composition of the vaginal microbiota: a review.
Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis
October 2024
Purpose: The vaginal microbiota offers valuable insights into women's sexual health and the risk of developing sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and bacterial vaginosis. Despite the public health implications of changes in the vaginal environment, existing data on this topic remain sparse.
Methods: Following the PRISMA statement guidelines, we consulted five bibliographic databases, focusing on five main daily habits and behaviors.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a simplified technique called the pre-IMSI test (PIT) to evaluate sperm morphology in infertile men, particularly those with normal or subnormal sperm, after multiple unsuccessful fertility treatments.
- Researchers selected 248 patients and categorized them into three subgroups based on their PIT scores, which measured the quality of motile sperm.
- Results showed that higher PIT scores were associated with better clinical pregnancy outcomes in ICSI procedures, highlighting the potential of the PIT as a predictive tool for ART success.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of previous Caesarean deliveries versus vaginal deliveries on live birth rates after transferring frozen blastocysts.
- Conducted at two university hospitals, the research included 390 women and analyzed outcomes like live births and complications.
- Results showed no significant differences between the groups in live birth rates, although Caesarean deliveries were associated with more difficult embryo transfers. Further research is needed to validate these findings.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares serum progesterone levels on transfer day among three methods of endometrial preparation for frozen embryo transfer (FET): spontaneous cycles, ovarian stimulation cycles, and artificial cycles.
- Results showed that the ovarian stimulation group had significantly higher progesterone levels (29.47 ng/ml) compared to spontaneous (20.03 ng/ml) and artificial cycles (14.32 ng/ml), indicating a possible link to treatment methods.
- Despite differences in progesterone levels, demographic factors and overall pregnancy outcomes (live birth rates and pregnancy loss rates) were largely similar across all three groups, suggesting further research is needed to assess the clinical implications of progesterone variations.
