Success Rates of Assisted Reproduction for Men With Cystic Fibrosis.

Department of Respiratory Medicine, Manchester Adult Cystic Fibrosis Centre, North West Lung Centre, Wythenshawe Hospital, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester, UK.
Background: The vast majority of men with CF (mwCF) are infertile. Improvements in assisted reproductive technology (ART) have made it possible for these patients to become biological fathers.
Methods: Data were examined for all male CF patients attending a large adult CF center over a 23-year period.

Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) is the leading cause of thyroid dysfunction globally, characterized primarily by two distinct clinical manifestations: Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and Graves' disease (GD). The prevalence of AITD is approximately twice as high in women compared to men, with a particularly pronounced risk during the reproductive years. Pregnancy exerts profound effects on thyroid physiology and immune regulation due to hormonal fluctuations and immune adaptations aimed at fostering maternal-fetal tolerance, potentially triggering or exacerbating AITD.

Article Synopsis
- RSA is linked to metabolic imbalances at the maternal-fetal interface, especially concerning essential fatty acids and oxylipins, which may contribute to the risk of spontaneous abortion.
- Research involved analyzing samples from women experiencing spontaneous abortion and those with normal pregnancies, measuring fatty acid levels and enzyme expressions using advanced techniques like GC-MS and LC-MS.
- Findings showed that women with recurrent spontaneous abortion had higher omega-6 fatty acid levels in their plasma and chorionic villi but lower levels in the decidua, suggesting a possible dysregulation of fatty acid transport affecting pregnancy outcomes.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death for women worldwide. One of the risk factors for CVD in women is complications during pregnancy. Pregnancy complications include a wide arena of pathologies, including hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, preterm delivery and miscarriage.

Studies in humans and rodents show exercise in pregnancy can modulate maternal blood pressure, vascular volume, and placental efficiency, but whether exercise affects early uteroplacental vascular adaptations is unknown. To investigate this, CBA/J female mice mated with BALB/c males to generate healthy uncomplicated pregnancies (BALB/c-mated) or mated with DBA/2J males to generate abortion-prone pregnancies (DBA/2J-mated), were subjected to treadmill exercise (5 days/week, 10 m/min, 30 min/day for 6 weeks before and throughout pregnancy), or remained sedentary. In uncomplicated pregnancies, exercise caused symmetric fetal growth restriction in fetuses evidenced by reductions in fetal weight, crown-to-rump length, abdominal girth and biparietal diameter.
