Aims: This study is aimed at determining the prognostic factors influencing successful pregnancy following intrauterine insemination (IUI).
Settings And Design: Retrospective analysis.
Materials And Methods: A total of 2123 cycles undergone by 871 couples during the period of 5 years (2011-2015) were retrospectively studied.
Statistical Analysis Used: Each of the factors was compared with pregnancy outcome (PO) using statistical analysis with a confidence interval of 95% in SPSS software version 19. Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis method were used to determine the significance of each factor with the PO.
Results: Among the various factors included in our study population, male habits ( = 0.004), male occupational environment ( = 0.025), male age ( = 0.002), and female age ( = 0.001) were found to significantly influence the PO following IUI.
Conclusion: Our results indicate that avoiding smoking and alcohol consuming prior and during the IUI treatment along with working in low-heat-generating environment might lead to better success following the treatment.

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to summarize the pregnancy outcomes of women di-agnosed with genital tuberculosis (GTB) who spontaneously conceived or underwent intrauterine in-semination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF) after being treated with antitubercular therapy (ATT). Pub-lications from the PubMed, Medline, Embase, Ovid, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar data-bases were searched from December 20, 2021, to March 5, 2022. The outcomes are presented as pooled averages with 95% confidence intervals.

Background: There are limited and controversial findings concerning ovulation induction using intrauterine and intramuscular human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injection compared to intramuscular hCG alone. The study aimed to examine the impact of intrauterine hCG injection, which is used to induce ovulation, on the efficacy of the intrauterine insemination (IUI) technique in patients with unexplained infertility.
Methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted involving 80 subjects with unexplained primary infertility at the infertility clinic of Al-Zahra Hospital in northwest Iran.

Article Synopsis
- Unintended pregnancies are associated with increased mental health risks, particularly for women, who experience higher levels of psychological distress, chronic pain, and death fantasies compared to those with intended pregnancies.
- The study analyzed responses from over 7,000 women and 1,700 men, examining various conception methods and their impact on mental health before and after childbirth.
- Additionally, men undergoing fertility treatments, especially those using scheduled intercourse or insemination, also exhibited significant mental health challenges, highlighting the need for support in these populations.
Genome-wide DNA methylation and gene expression in human placentas derived from assisted reproductive technology.

Background: Assisted reproductive technology (ART) has been associated with increased risks for growth disturbance, disrupted imprinting as well as cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. However, the molecular mechanisms and whether they are a result of the ART procedures or the underlying subfertility are unknown.
Methods: We performed genome-wide DNA methylation (EPIC Illumina microarrays) and gene expression (mRNA sequencing) analyses for a total of 80 ART and 77 control placentas.
