Objectives: The object of our study was to assess the efficacy measured as achievement of pregnancy of artificial insemination with husband sperm in couples that fulfilled the WHO criteria for infertility.
Material And Methods: We have identified 120 patients that were diagnosed with infertility defined as at least one year of unprotected intercourse without achieving pregnancy After 2 year follow up the study group comprised 96 women and their partners. All couples had normal outcome of all standard infertility test, except for some with decline in sperm parameters that allowed the husband sperm to be used for fertilization in the IUI procedure according to the 2010 WHO guidelines. After IUI procedure patients were followed either by contact with their physicians, mail questionnaire, or by identification of their national ID number in computerized database of our hospital.
Results: A total of 32 patients got pregnant (33%). Of those that achieved pregnancy during the two year follow up period, fifteen (46.9%) had done so as a result of AIH, another 15 as a result of spontaneous conception, and two as a result of IVF (6.2%). The mean number of AIH procedures in a group of women that did achieve pregnancy was 3,56 (median 3.0), and was statistically higher than the number of AIH in those patients who have failed to achieve pregnancy (mean 2.54; median 2.0; p = 0.009). CONCLUCIONS: Our study seems to support the new criteria for assessment of sperm parameters. Judging the sperm according to the new, lessened criteria, did produce comparable pregnancy rates as with historical cohorts based on old criteria.

A case of assisted reproductive technology-induced maternal alloimmunization: an emerging sensitizing factor to consider?
Immunohematology

Red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunization can occur because of exposure to various sensitizing factors and poses a constant threat in transfusion. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) involves manipulation of sperm, ova, or embryos with the goal of producing a pregnancy. We present an interesting case of ART-induced maternal alloimmunization (AIMA) due to anti-c in a woman carrying a twin pregnancy.

The vaginal microbiota plays an important role in reproductive health, especially in the process of artificial insemination. The imbalance of microbiota may affect pregnancy outcomes. Therefore, this study aims to explore the composition of vaginal microbiota and its impact on artificial insemination pregnancy outcomes, combined with microscopic images and PCR fluorescence methods, in order to provide scientific basis for improving the pregnancy outcomes of husband sperm artificial insemination.

This case study reflects the primary infertility treatment which was in vitro fertilization (IVF) that lasted for four years. This case study involves a 37-year-old female who underwent intrauterine insemination (IUI), recurrent implantation failure, and frozen embryo transfers with a focus on platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for receptor endometrial thickness. The patient's report revealed a hormonal imbalance and a thin endometrium measuring 5 mm, while her husband's semen analysis findings were normal.

Article Synopsis
- - Y chromosome microdeletions, particularly involving the sY1192 gene, are connected to male infertility, and this study examined the effects of losing this specific region in sperm quality among 116 patients.
- - About 41.4% of cases involved sY1192-independent deletions, which showed that men losing only the sY1192 gene had a better chance of sperm detection compared to those with multiple deletions.
- - Although the fertilization and cleavage rates after ICSI were higher for men with sY1192-independent deletions, the overall pregnancy outcomes were similar to those with other types of Y chromosome microdeletions.
