Filter by:One hundred patients who suffered from recurrent implantation failure in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) were allocated in the study. On ovum pick-up day, 50 of them were intrauterine injected with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and the other 50 were injected with intrauterine Human Chorionic Gonadotropins (HCG). The clinical pregnancy rate was evaluated as a primary outcome and ultrasound imaging of the gestational sac was evaluated as a secondary outcome
In Finland, every third woman is overweight (BMI>25) and 11,5% obese (BMI>30). Cohort and national studies reveal that 46% of fertile-aged men have BMI≥25 and 20% BMI≥30. Overweight has negative impact on both female and male fertility and weakens markedly the results of infertility treatments. In this study, 780 infertile couples will be randomized to control group (conventional infertility treatment) and lifestyle intervention arm undergoing 4 sessions of video-mediated motivational interview, anthropometric measurements, laboratory tests and epigenetic samples. Economic evaluation of the intervention will also be performed.
This randomized controlled study aimed to specify whether the interventions based on Hypnofertility would lead to increased fertility preparedness and pregnancy outcomes, decreased cortisol levels of women undergoing In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatment.
Today, few data are available on the patient's fertility following intrauterine tamponade balloon (BTIU) used for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) after vaginal delivery (AVB). Several studies have concluded that there are no fertility disorders after conservative surgical treatment or embolization. BTIU is an essential treatment in the management of PPH. The aim was to evaluate post-BTIU fertility and the appearance of gynecological symptoms. This is a bicentric retrospective study (Valenciennes, Lille, France), between 2012 and 2017. The data will be collected by telephone interview on fertility and various gynecological functional symptoms.
The influence of thyroid autoantibodies on thyroid function in pregnancy after fertility treatment is not well known. The objectives of the present study are: 1. To monitor the course of thyroid function during pregnancy and to compare between women with and without thyroid autoantibodies. 2. Compare pregnancy outcome between women with and without thyroid antibodies
We planned a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with the main aim to evaluate the effects of lifestyle changes on semen quality in healthy young men living in polluted areas in Italy. Secondary aims are to assess: a) the association between semen quality and biomarkers of early damage or inflammation; b) the associations between biomarkers of exposure to heavy metals and semen quality and biomarkers of early damage or inflammation; c) the associations between diet and physical activity and semen quality and biomarkers of early damage or inflammation; d) the effects of lifestyle changes on the blood and semen levels of heavy metals. The RCT includes 450 young men living in one of the following three polluted areas: 1. a polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) polluted area in Brescia province, Lombardy region; 2. the valley of the Sacco river, with high levels of beta-hexachlorocyclohexane (β-HCH) originated by toxic waste dumps of industrial origin. 3. the "Land of Fires" in the Campania region, with a high concentration of illegal waste dumping and uncontrolled burning near cultivated fields. Inclusion criteria are: a) healthy males aged 18- 22 years; b) residents in the area since at least 5 years; c) non smokers; d) non alcohol or drug users; e) normo-weight (18.5< BMI<24.99); f) no occupationally exposed to fertility toxics; g) not affected by chronic diseases. Subjects will be randomly assigned to an intervention or control group. The intervention group will follow a nutritional pathway and receive suggestions on practice of physical activity for 4 months, under the guide of some nutritionists, who will establish individualized diets for each subject. The control group will receive only a booklet including the dietary recommendations by the Italian National Institute for Research on Food and Nutrition. All subjects will undergo urologic examination, measurement of weight, height and abdominal circumference, an interview on demographic data, lifestyle variables, dietary habits, adherence to Mediterranean diet and physical activity, and will provide blood and semen samples in fasting conditions, at the enrollment (baseline), at the end of the intervention phase (after 4 months) and at the end of follow-up (after 8 months). Laboratory analyses include the following: - hematological parameters; - semen quality parameters; - prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in blood and semen; - RedOx status parameters in semen; - epigenetic analyses (DNA methylation) in blood lymphocytes and spermatozoa; - content of heavy metals in blood and semen. The project has been approved by the local Ethics Committees. Differences of means and proportions of all variables between the intervention and control group and the associations between diet, physical activity and sperm and blood parameters will be assessed using common statistical tests for comparisons of means and proportions as a first step.
•The Pilot study will involve current Marquette Method users who own and use a ClearBlue Fertility monitor and who will be asked to simultaneously use the Mira monitor for the sake of comparing the two devices to monitor the menstrual cycle.
The purpose of this randomized pilot study is to compare the efficacy of double oocyte retrieval vs. conventional antagonist ovarian stimulation protocol in poor prognosis patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
We need to identify a new parameter to evaluate the success rate of IVF techniques. CLBR has been suggested as a suitable way for reporting success of IVF program: it implies capturing the totality of live birth episodes following successive treatments. For patients CLBR is easy to understand because it summarizes the chance of a live birth over an entire treatment period. CLBR per oocyte retrieval is more meaningful as it is the best indicator of quality and success in IVF and it allows the best indicator of quality and success in IVF with different strategies for freezing embryos.
To compare the number of retrieved oocytes in the late start CF-alfa (day 4) versus standard CF-alfa protocols (day 2) in patients undergoing IVF. The primary analysis will be also performed in specific subgroups of patients: expected poor-responders, expected normal responders and expected hyper-responders
