Filter by:. This study aimed to determine and compare the effect of vaginal sildenafil citrate and estradiol valerate on endometrial thickness, blood flow and pregnancy rates in infertile women.
Aim: With the project, mobile application supported cognitive awareness applications in women receiving infertility treatment; The aim of this study was to measure the effect of infertile women on their psychosocial status. Method: It was planned as a randomized controlled study. It was aimed to reduce stress and increase awareness by applying mindfulness/cognitive awareness to women undergoing infertility treatment. For this reason, special mindfulness suggestions were created for infertile women by taking the opinion of an expert in the field. Mindfulness suggestions created specifically for women with infertility were recorded. The recordings were varied according to the treatment stages, with an average duration of 40 minutes. These audio recordings were presented with a mobile application developed for infertile women. The mobile application called IVFMind was designed for infertile women. The application consists of mindfulness audio recordings and reading sections. The experimental group (n:17) installed this application on their phones and listened to the audio recordings regularly. Cognitive awareness (BIFO), depression-anxiety (DASS 21), infertility self-efficacy and fertility adjustment scales were administered to the experimental and control groups (N:34). Scales were done as pre-test and post-test. The mobile application evaluation form was filled in the experimental group.
In this controlled trial, poor ovarian responder women will be treated with transplantation of autologous menstrual blood stem cells. The investigators will attempt to assess the safety and efficacy of this procedure for the treatment of infertility in POR patients compared to control group.
The success of IVF is influenced by factors as cause of infertility and age. Furthermore, there is a large influence of external factors, from the laboratory environment, handling and cultivation of gametes and embryos. The existence of factors capable of affecting the success of the treatment lead to the need of a quality control to attenuate the unfavorable effects. After ovarian stimulation, follicular aspiration is performed. At this moment, factors such as aspiration technique, needle type and temperature are the main variables to be controlled. It is known that oocytes are the more sensitive cells to temperature fluctuations. Currently, the standard protocol for follicular aspiration does not include the warming of the aspiration needle. However, due to the existing evidence in the literature, that the follicular fluid temperature drops during the aspiration procedure, this work aims to evaluate the influence of a pre warming of the aspiration needle as a new protocol.
Under in vivo conditions, human gametes and embryos are exposed to fluids in the fallopian tubes, where fertilization occurs, and in the uterus, the site of embryonic implantation. The composition of these microenvironments is extremely complex and diverse. On the other hand, infertile couples who need in vitro fertilization treatments have their gametes and embryos cultured for a few days in commercial culture media. The composition of the media used in assisted reproduction laboratories varies according to the manufacturer and culture strategy. It is already known that the exposure of embryos to different concentrations of nutrients can affect the effectiveness of in vitro fertilization treatments, such as the fertilization rate, embryonic development speed, implantation rate, gestation, abortion, newborn weight, among other factors. Although these aspects are much discussed in the literature, there is still no consensus regarding the choice of a specific culture medium. Thus, the present study aims to evaluate the influence of three commercial culture media on the fertilization rate and embryonic quality through a prospective randomized clinical trial using sibling oocytes from patients undergoing in vitro fertilization cycles.
Prospective controlled study to assess the reproductive outcomes of OD recipients in which the donors were subjected to the DYG protocol (20mg/day) compared with those subjected to the short protocol with cetrorelix (0.25 mg/day) from Day 7 or since a leading follicle reached 14 mm. The OD cycles were triggered with triptoreline acetate and the trigger criterion was ≥3 follicles of diameter >18mm.
Although Caesarean section (CS) is often a necessary surgical intervention, it may also be associated with an increased risk of short- and long-term sequelae. It was thought that CS may increase the risk of female subfertility or even infertility. In assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles, the process of implantation is believed to be the most important factor in determining pregnancy outcome. In view of conflicting results on the influence of a previous CS on outcomes of ART, this study will be conducted to investigate the impact of the mode of previous delivery on ICSI outcomes.
We have developed a new minimally invasive system for endometrial dating, that allows the physician to monitor, capture, project and analyze the actual morphology and maturity of the endometrial surface, at any given time. A time series of such indications provides an assessment regarding the pace of development by which the endometrium is maturing during a relevant cycle. FERTIGO®'s method for endometrial dating has been validated in swine and ex-vivo human samples, where image analysis of tissues has been compared with traditional endometrial dating techniques. The comparison yielded calibration means and correlation between FERTIGO®'s dating and the traditional dating methods. Thus, M3T FERTIGO®'s system is designed to enable the determination of the actual physiological cycle date, in good correlation with the indirect (endometrial thickness and hormones level) and delayed known methods (histopathology). To this end, a high quality, low magnification (X2-X4) image of the endometrium surface should be acquired, stored and analyzed. This trial will evaluate, on the one hand, the safety and usability of the FERTIGO® device and, on the other hand, calibrate it by evaluating image quality. Both safety and usability will be measured through questionnaires answered by the participants (adverse events and satisfaction) and by the physicians (satisfaction), respectively, considering the introduction of the device, its use, and its removal.
In the study, it is aimed to reduce the infertility stress level of women undergoing infertility treatment, to increase the level of coping with infertility stress, to increase infertility self-efficacy, to evaluate the usability of web-based education in the field of infertility, to increase the effectiveness and quality of education by integrating web-based education into the nursing care process, and continuous traceability, to prevention of possible wrong treatment process management in the field of infertility, to prevention of possible loss of cycles and to prevention the material and moral couple from being adversely affected by this process. Method: The study was planned to be carried out between 20.01.2022 and 01.06.2023 with women between the ages of 23-39 who applied to Düzce University Health Practice and Research Center, Infertility Polyclinic. In the research, the Solomon four-group design sample design consisting of two experimental and two control groups will be used. The study planned to consist of a total of 132 patients, 33 patients in each group, taking into account possible data losses. By design, all of the pre-test and post-test measurement tools will be applied to the first experimental and control group, and only the post-test measurement tools will be applied to the second experimental and control group. Randomization will be applied in determining the experimental and control groups. The data will be collected using Personal Information Form (Appendix-1), Infertility Stress Scale (ISS) (Appendix 2), Coping with the Infertility Stress Scale (CISS) (Appendix-3), and Infertility Self-Efficacy Scale - Short Form (ISE-SF) (Appendix 4). Research data will be collected in approximately day 24 to 27 days for each patient from the initiation of Controlled Ovarian Stimulation (COS) treatment to pregnancy determination of patients planned for intrauterine insemination (IUI) treatment. Web-based training is 60 minutes in total, including 4 modules. The web-based training content includes general information about fertility, infertility diagnosis-treatment methods, drugs used in IUI treatment and its application, and issues to be considered after IUI.
The objective of the study is to provide preliminary evidence for the safety and effectiveness of the AblaCare System in transvaginal ablation of ovarian tissue under ultrasound visualization in women with infertility due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who have not responded to first-line ovulation induction treatment or are contraindicated for or decline such treatment.
