Our aim is to assess the impact of the ultrasonographic detection of follicular rupture on the intrauterine insemination success. A total of 313 women undergoing ovarian stimulation for intrauterine insemination were enrolled. Transvaginal ultrasonography was performed to check whether the dominant follicle had ruptured and according to that the patients were divided into two groups. The ultrasound detection of follicular rupture was observed in 156 patients (54%). The independent variables favoring follicular rupture were: Age (t: 7.646, p < 0.0005), FSH value (t: -5.637, p < 0.0005), duration of infertility (t: -4.265, p < 0.0005), menstrual cycle length (t: -4.927, p < 0.0005). Moreover, the logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the predictive variables for follicular rupture were: FSH value (OR 1.7, CI 95% 1.3-2.3, p < 0.0005), duration of infertility (OR 2.6, CI 95% 1.6-4.2, p < 0.0005) and menstrual cycle length (OR 2.4, CI 95% 1.7-3.4, p < 0.0005). Pregnancy occurred in 23 patients of the group A (14.7%) and in 22 patients of the group B (16.5%) without a significant difference (p = 0.6). The logistic regression analysis confirmed that neither the evidence of follicular rupture nor any other variables influenced the pregnancy rate.

Improved clinical pregnancy rates in natural frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles with machine learning ovulation prediction: insights from a retrospective cohort study.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating a software tool for doctors to predict ovulation timing and evaluate how this affects pregnancy rates in natural cycle frozen embryo transfers (NC-FET).
- Three datasets were analyzed to develop and validate an ovulation prediction model, achieving high accuracy rates (93.85% and 92.89%) in predicting ovulation.
- The results showed that patients who followed the model's predictions had significantly better clinical pregnancy rates compared to those who did not, especially in women under 37 years old.

Background: There are many gaps in our understanding of the mechanisms involved in ovarian follicular development in cattle, particularly regarding follicular deviation, acquisition of ovulatory capacity, and preovulatory changes. Molecular evaluations of ovarian follicular cells during follicular development in cattle, especially serial transcriptomic analyses across key growth phases, have not been reported. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing gene expression using RNA-seq in granulosa and antral cells recovered from ovarian follicular fluid during critical phases of ovarian follicular development in Holstein cows.

Article Synopsis
- - A haemorrhagic ovarian cyst is a common type of functional ovarian cyst caused by bleeding in a follicular or corpus luteum cyst, often leading to one-sided acute pelvic pain and possible menstrual issues.
- - Diagnosis is made through pelvic ultrasound, showing a complex cyst with a distinct reticular or 'lace-like' pattern.
- - Most cases resolve on their own with minimal treatment, but serious complications like rupture may require surgery, and some cysts can have unusual presentations that complicate diagnosis.
In Brief: Ovulation, the female reproductive process whereby fertilizable oocytes are released from a mature ovarian follicle, is widely seen in all animals that sexually reproduce. This paper reveals that, despite the remarkably diverse styles of ovulation among animal taxa, most ovulate via follicle rupture and suggests that the rupture process may operate via similar cellular mechanisms across animals.
Abstract: Ovulation is the process by which a fertilizable oocyte is extruded from the interior of the follicle.

During ovulation, an egg is released from an ovarian follicle, ready for fertilization. Ovulation occurs inside the body, impeding direct studies of its progression. Therefore, the exact mechanisms that control ovulation have remained unclear.
