Does Physiological Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Improve Outcome in Men with Abnormal Semen Parameters: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: As the male factor in infertility is on rising trend, we need a promising tool for sperm selection to improve the embryo development.

Aim: The present study compares the embryological and clinical parameters between physiological intracytoplasmic sperm injection (PICSI) and conventional intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in abnormal semen parameters.

Settings And Design: This was a retrospective cohort study.

Failed ovarian cortex transplant but successful ovulation induction in a cancer survivor with premature ovarian failure: A paradox.

Better diagnostic and treatment modalities for malignancies occurring in childhood and young age have increased the overall survival of the affected young girls and boys, but this has come at a cost of developing premature ovarian failure in girls and azoospermia in boys because of the gonadotoxicity of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Thus, young girls and women of reproductive age who are at risk of ovarian failure due to cancer treatment must be mandatorily offered fertility preservation in any form such as cryopreservation of mature metaphase II oocytes after ovarian stimulation with gonadotropins and oocyte recovery and cryopreservation of embryos if the young female has a partner. However, these modalities may require the postponement of chemotherapy.

"Does serum estrogen level have an impact on outcomes in hormonal replacement frozen-warmed embryo transfer cycles?".

Aim: To evaluate the impact of serum estradiol (E2) levels on cycle outcomes in hormone replacement frozen embryo transfer (HR- FET) cycles.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 509 HR-FET cycles performed from September 2018 to September 2019. Patients were divided into 6 groups based on their E2 values measured a day before progesterone initiation .

A prospective study of oral estrogen versus transdermal estrogen (gel) for hormone replacement frozen embryo transfer cycles.

Aim: This study was done to compare the efficacy of transdermal estrogen (gel) to oral estradiol in hormone replacement frozen embryo transfer cycles (HR- FET).

Materials And Methods: This was a prospective study conducted between March 2019 and December 2019. We included 294 HR FET cycles: 156 cycles using oral estrogen tablets (oral group) and 138 cycles using transdermal gel (17 beta estradiol 0.

Comparative Study of Serum Progesterone Levels at the Time of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Trigger and Ovum PickUp in Predicting Outcome in Fresh Fertilization Cycles.

Background: Studies have shown that premature rise of progesterone in controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) at the time of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) trigger is negatively associated with fertilization (IVF) outcome in fresh IVF cycles. Some authors have failed to demonstrate this. One large single centre retrospective cohort study has compared the pre and post hCG progesterone and observed that the ratio of the rise in progesterone could be a positive predictor.

Dermatological Manifestations in Patients Undergoing In Vitro Fertilisation: A Prospective Study.

Background: Changing sociodemographic patterns with an increase in the age of childbirth have affected fertility rates worldwide. With advancing reproductive medicine, assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs) are becoming common. While dermatological manifestations in normal pregnancies have been well documented, there is a paucity of data regarding cutaneous manifestations in patients undergoing ART.

Calcium gluconate infusion is as effective as the vascular endothelial growth factor antagonist cabergoline for the prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

Background: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an iatrogenic and potentially life-threatening disease process, which may occur in healthy young women undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for assisted reproduction. As the treatment is largely empirical, prevention forms the mainstay of management.

Objective: The present study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of intravenous (IV) calcium gluconate infusion in comparison to the dopamine agonist cabergoline (Cb2) in preventing OHSS in high risk patients undergoing assisted reproductive technique cycles.
