Long non-coding RNAs and female infertility: What do we know?

Ten percent of people who are of reproductive age experience infertility. Sometimes the most effective therapies, including technology for assisted reproduction, may lead to unsuccessful implantation. Because of the anticipated epigenetic alterations of in vitro as well as in vitro fertilization growth of embryos, these fertility techniques have also been linked to unfavorable pregnancy outcomes linked to infertility.

The effects of selenium supplementation on glycemic control, serum lipoproteins and biomarkers of oxidative stress in infertile women diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome undergoing in vitro fertilization: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of selenium consumption on metabolic profile among infertile females diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Materials And Methods: The current randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted among 40 infertile females with PCOS aged between 18 and 40 years. Patients were randomly allocated to two groups of intervention to receive selenium supplements (200 μg/day) or placebo (starch).

Comparison of two ovarian stimulation protocols among women with poor response: A randomized clinical trial.

This is a randomized controlled trial conducted in a tertiary referral fertility department. Participants were women with previous poor ovarian response undergoing in vitro fertilization. (IVF).

Melatonin as an adjuvant treatment modality with doxorubicin.

Combination chemotherapy seems to be a beneficial choice for some cancer patients particularly when the drugs target different processes of oncogenesis; patients treated with combination therapies sometimes have a better prognosis than those treated with single drug chemotherapy. However, research has shown that this is not always the case, and this approach may only increase toxicity without having a significant effect in augmenting the antitumor actions of the drugs. Doxorubicin (Dox) is one of the most common chemotherapy drugs used to treat many types of cancer, but it also has serious side effects, such as cardiotoxicity, skin necrosis, testicular toxicity, and nephrotoxicity.

A comparative study of transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound guidance on consequences of embryo transfer at Mahdiyeh hospital of Tehran in 2020: An RCT.

Background: Infertility is an important problem that affects many couples worldwide. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) helps infertile couples to have offspring. One of the critical parts of ART is embryo transfer (ET).
