AI Article Synopsis
- The decline in fertility rates and the trend of women having children at older ages are major reasons for low pregnancy success rates in developed countries.
- Epigenetic factors, which affect gene expression and can influence embryonic development, play a significant role in the outcomes of women undergoing IVF treatment.
- The text outlines key epigenetic modifications that could impact female reproductive health and potentially improve the success rates of IVF.
Article Abstract
The constant decline in fertility and older reproductive age is the major cause of low clinical pregnancy rates in industrialised countries. Epigenetic mechanisms impact on proper embryonic development in women undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF) protocols. Here, we describe the main epigenetic modifications that may influence female reproduction and could affect IVF success.

The Role of Negative Affect and Experiential Avoidance in Postsurgical Pain and Fatigue Among Norwegian Women With Breast Cancer.

Department of Psychology. The Mind-Body Lab, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway.
Background: Women undergoing breast cancer surgery frequently experience postsurgical pain and fatigue, which reduces their quality of life. Although psychological factors have been shown to play a role in predicting postsurgical outcomes, the subacute recovery phase often remains underexplored. In this secondary analysis of data from a randomised controlled trial, we sought to investigate the predictive role of negative affect and experiential avoidance on postsurgical symptoms during both acute and subacute recovery.
