Risk Factors for Prematurity and Congenital Malformations in Assisted Reproductive Technology Pregnancies-A Retrospective Study.

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) nowadays plays a major role in the treatment of infertility, with the most frequently used techniques being in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The objective of this study is to analyze pregnancies achieved using these ART techniques and their correlations with the prematurity and congenital malformations rates. This is an observational retrospective longitudinal study that includes 814 newborns conceived through an ART, namely IVF or ICSI.

Reproductive outcome after in vitro fertilization in endometriosis - key factors and implications.

Endometriosis is a benign chronic disease with a major impact on a woman's quality of life, mainly due to painful physical symptoms. Endometriosis is also a common cause of infertility caused by low ovarian reserve, distorted pelvic anatomy, and severe local inflammation with a direct negative impact on the quality of oocytes, embryos, and endometrium. We conducted a retrospective study between January 2019 and December 2023, including women with a history of surgery for endometriosis who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) to achieve pregnancy.

Ovarian Stimulation for In Vitro Fertilization and Reproductive Outcome after Surgical Treatment of Endometriosis Compared with Tubal Factor Infertility.

Endometriosis is a common cause of infertility among reproductive-age women. A low ovarian reserve is associated with the presence of endometriotic cysts, and this is accentuated even more after surgery. Patients with a history of endometrioma are a special category of poor ovarian reserve requiring in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Perinatal Diagnosis and Management of a Case with Interrupted Aortic Arch, Pulmonary Valve Dysplasia and 22q11.2 Deletion: A Case Report.

The 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) is the most common chromosomal microdeletion disorder caused by hemizygous microdeletion of the long arm of chromosome 22.

Incidence of complications among fertilization pregnancies.

The use of assisted reproductive technology has increased in Romania in the past several years. Although most of these pregnancies are uncomplicated, in vitro fertilization is associated with an increased risk for adverse perinatal outcomes primarily caused by the increased risks of prematurity, gestational diabetes mellitus, and hypertensive disorders. Infertility can be caused by a variety of factors, including both male and female factors, and in some cases, the cause remains unknown.

The Impact of Endometriosis on In Vitro Fertilization Outcome.

Endometriosis is a common inflammatory disease and a major cause of infertility through various mechanisms. We conducted a retrospective study in infertile women with endometriosis who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) in order to evaluate the particularities and outcome of ovarian stimulation. A total of 59 patients aged 24-40 years were included.

Chronic pelvic pain of unknown origin may be caused by loose uterosacral ligaments failing to support pelvic nerve plexuses - a critical review.

Introduction: Chronic pelvic pain of unknown origin (CPPU) affects the quality of life (QoL) of up to 20% of women. The 2005 Cochrane Review, based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs), stated that the pathogenesis of CPPU is poorly understood and its treatment is empirical and ineffective. Totally ignored were the high cure rates from uterosacral ligament (USL) repair, the principal subject of this review.

Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and IVF pregnancy prognosis.

IVF (in vitro fertilization) often represents the ultimate step in our attempt to treat infertility. Nowadays this method is more and more used, couple's expectations are higher and higher, so that optimizing the chance that one IVF pregnancy became a healthy newborn child is becoming an important issue. In this study we analyzed the controlled ovarian hyperstimulation impact on IVF pregnancy prognosis.
