Private medical care has significantly contributed to the advancement of various medical fields. The birth of private IVF groups in the 1990s led to improvements in stimulation protocols, embryo culture, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, vitrification and preimplantation genetic testing. However, infertility is often misunderstood as a disease, leading to low birth rates and a lack of awareness among the general population.

Purpose: To investigate whether leukocytospermia (defined as the presence of ≥ 1 × 10 white blood cells/mL) affects clinical and embryologic outcomes in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A).

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study including 5425 cycles between January 2012 to December 2021 at a single large university-affiliated fertility clinic. The primary outcome was live birth rate (LBR).

Article Synopsis
  • This study focuses on different subtypes of -mutant gliomas, particularly distinguishing between astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas based on 1p/19q deletion status.
  • Researchers analyzed 121 grade 2-3 gliomas, comparing MR imaging features and survival outcomes of tumors categorized as unideleted, codeleted, and those without 1p/19q deletions.
  • Results showed that unideleted tumors had imaging characteristics and survival rates more akin to astrocytomas than to codeleted oligodendrogliomas, suggesting some complexities in classification based on molecular testing.
