AI Article Synopsis
- This review assesses the impact of severe endometriosis on IVF outcomes and explores complications, ovarian stimulation protocols, and the progression of endometrial conditions during treatment.
- IVF is shown to be an effective infertility treatment for severe endometriosis patients, comparable in success to those without the condition, but carries risks, especially concerning ovarian function.
- Early initiation of IVF with tailored protocols and thorough patient education about retrieval risks is recommended to optimize treatment results.
Article Abstract
This review aims to evaluate whether severe endometriosis has an impact on the outcome of in vitro fertilisation (IVF), whether IVF is associated with specific complications in this context, whether a specific ovarian stimulation protocol is most appropriate, whether the endometrial condition progresses following ovarian stimulation, and whether endometrial cysts pose a specific problem for IVF. In patients with severe endometriosis, IVF represents an effective treatment option for infertility, as a complement to surgery. The prognostic parameters of IVF are identical to those of other patients. However, the risks related to the severity of endometriosis, particularly the risk of ovarian deficiency, need to be considered. Because of this issue, to which endometriosis-related pain often adds, IVF treatment should be initiated as early as possible, using appropriate protocols and after having fully informed the patient about the specific oocytes retrieval-related risks.

African-American women have a maternal mortality rate approximately three times higher than European-American women. This is partially due to hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, including preeclampsia. Fetal high-risk genotype increases preeclampsia risk, although mechanisms remain elusive.

Background: Given the distinctive physiological characteristics of pregnant women, non-pharmacological therapies are increasingly being used to improve depressive and anxiety symptoms. Our objective was to explore and compare the impact of various non-pharmacological interventions in improving depressive and anxiety symptoms, and to identify the most effective strategies for pregnant women with depressive and/or anxiety symptoms.
Methods: We conducted a systematic search of PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared non-pharmacological interventions to usual care, from the inception of each database up to October 5, 2024.
Aim: Within the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process, to evaluate the possibility of using the state of the meiotic spindle of oocytes as an indicator of maturity in order to optimize the timing of vitrification.
Patients And Methods: In the presented report, the cause of couple infertility was a combination of a 38-year-old female and 43-year-old male with azoospermia, which was an indication for oocyte vitrification. Oocyte polar bodies and optically birefringent meiotic spindles were visualized by polarized light microscopy and their states and relative positions were used as indicators of oocyte maturation, i.
Objective: We aimed to compare highly purified human menopausal gonadotropin (hp-hMG) and recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (rFSH) in short antagonist in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles of patients with poor ovarian reserve (POR). Limited research exists on this comparison in short antagonist cycles for this patient group.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study involved 165 POR patients aged 18-45 years who underwent IVF between 2018 and 2022.

Background: Insulin resistance (IR) is a common pathophysiologic feature in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, there have been no studies investigating the association of IR surrogates with pregnancy outcomes in women with PCOS undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). Therefore, we explored the association between these factors among PCOS patients.
