Article Synopsis
- A study on 173 female patients with recurrent reproductive failure (RRF) found a notably higher prevalence of HLA genes associated with celiac disease (CD) and non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), compared to the general population (69% vs. 35%-40%).
- Only a small percentage (2.3%) of the patients were diagnosed with CD, but those with HLA genetic susceptibility showed a significant link to higher rates of hypothyroidism (48.7% vs. 26.92%).
- Patients with both HLA susceptibility and thyroid disease had better pregnancy outcomes when on a gluten-free diet and using levothyroxine, indicating potential benefits of these interventions for reproductive success.
Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze the efficacy of the dual trigger (human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) + GnRH agonists) compared to the conventional trigger (hCG) in terms of oocyte retrieval (number and oocyte maturity), fertilization rate or number of embryos with two pronuclei, number of high-quality embryos, number of transferred embryos, number of cryopreserved embryos, implantation rate, positive β-hCG rate, ongoing pregnancy rate, abortion rate, and live birth rate.
Methods: This search performed in this systematic review included all literature published in the PubMed database of studies on controlled ovarian stimulation with dual trigger compared with conventional trigger. The meta-analysis included clinical trials and prospective cohort studies.

Article Synopsis
- A woman who had a kidney transplant and several health issues had a baby using a method called in vitro fertilization (IVF).
- It's important for kidney transplant patients to have good health and stable medication before trying IVF and getting pregnant.
- There hasn't been much information on similar cases, so doctors had to carefully decide if IVF was safe for this woman and her baby.
Background: Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), is endemic in Latin-America and is emerging in Spain due to immigration. The vertical transmission rate is around 5%.
