The objective was to study clinical cases and understand the link between cesarean section scar defect with hydrometra and secondary infertility. A retrospective case series from an assisted reproductive center and infertility treatment clinic in the United Arab Emirates. We had five patients with secondary infertility diagnosed with cesarean section scar defect with persistent hydrometra based on high resolution transvaginal ultrasound assessment.

Their extent can be measured using platforms such as sperm chromatin dispersion (SCD) and sperm fluorescence hybridization (sFISH). Additional studies, however, are needed to understand the clinical applicability of these tests based on statistically validated thresholds.

Aim: To evaluate factors that might affect the incidence of embryo aneuploidy during IVF cycles.
Methods: Three hundred twelve IVF cases were included in the present study.
Background: Implementation of fully automated analysers has become a crucial security step in the blood bank; it reduces human errors, allows standardisation and improves turnaround time (TAT).
Objectives: We aimed at evaluating the ease of use and the efficiency of the ORTHO VISION Analyser (VISION) in comparison to the ORTHO AutoVue Innova System (AutoVue) in six different laboratories.
Methods: After initial training and system configuration, VISION was used in parallel to AutoVue following the daily workload, both automates being based on ORTHO BioVue System column agglutination technology.
