Objective: To examine the changes in AMH levels longitudinally over time and their relationship with both body composition, particularly abdominal adiposity, and milestones of pubertal development in female children.
Design: Secondary analysis of a prospective, longitudinal study.
Setting: University affiliated research center and laboratories.
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) was originally designed to overcome barriers due to male factor infertility. However, a surveillance study found that ICSI use in non-male factor infertility increased from 15.4% to 66.

We surveyed at the time of resumption of fertility care the psychological experience and coping strategies of patients pausing their care due to Covid-19 and examined which factors were associated and predictive of resilience, anxiety, stress and hopefulness.
Methods: Cross sectional cohort patient survey using an anonymous, self-reported, single time, web-based, HIPPA compliant platform (REDCap).
Objective: To summarize current understanding of the effects of novel and prior coronaviruses on human reproduction, specifically male and female gametes, and in pregnancy.
Design: Review of English publications in PubMed and Embase to April 6, 2020.
Method(s): Articles were screened for reports including coronavirus, reproduction, pathophysiology, and pregnancy.
Purpose Of Review: The association between obesity and infertility has gained increasing provider and public awareness. The purpose of this review is to outline the recent research into the pathophysiology regarding obesity and its impact of reproductive function in both women and men.
Recent Findings: A BMI more than 25 has a detrimental impact on the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis in both men and women, leading to alterations of HPG hormones, gametogenesis, as well as an increase in inflammation and lipotoxicity from excessive adipose tissue.
Importance: Cervical stenosis is a challenging clinical entity that requires prompt identification and management in order to avoid iatrogenic injury at the time of endocervical canal cannulation.
Objective: The aim of this study was to identify cervical stenosis and discuss associated etiologies, risk factors, and review medical and surgical approaches for overcoming cervical stenosis.
Evidence Acquisition: Computerized searches of MEDLINE and PubMed were conducted using the key words "cervix", "cervical stenosis," "embryo transfer," "hysteroscopy complications," "misoprostol," and "ultrasound.
Article Synopsis
- Ovulation induction is primarily managed by specialists in reproductive endocrinology and infertility, but attitudes among general OB-GYNs are changing.
- The review explains the science behind anovulation and provides clinical guidelines for using various medications to encourage ovulation and follicular development.
- It aims to equip general OB-GYNs with essential knowledge and resources to better handle infertility treatments.
Importance: Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy (CSEP) has a high rate of morbidity with nonspecific signs and symptoms making identification difficult. The criterion-standard treatment of CSEP has been subject to debate.
Objective: This review defines CSEP, discusses pathogenesis and diagnosis, and compares treatment options and outcomes.
