Filter by:The aim of the study was to calculate the dietary inflammatory index, dietary phytochemical index and NRF nutrient density of the dietary pattern routinely consumed by women and to assess whether there is a difference between PCOS patients with high AMH levels and the group with low AMH levels.
This is a study designed to validate Kawamura´s theory and investigation of activation of primordial follicles through ovarian cortex fragmentation. Our aim is to evaluate embryo quality following this procedure in poor ovarian responders and patients with decreased ovarian reserve. Secondary objectives are to assess potential association with the number of oocytes retrieved and pregnancy rates after IVF.
The purpose of this study is to obtain ovarian tissue from female patients undergoing gonadotoxic treatments or gonadal ablating surgery, and that in consequence may see their future fertility impaired. Participants will be offered to preserve (freeze) and use ovarian tissue for the purpose of conceiving in the future. Although, 86 live births have been reported with ovarian tissue cryo-preservation and grafting, the procedure is still considered experimental. This research, will help us to learn and validate how to perform ovarian tissue cryo-preservation and thawing in the fertility preservation context.
The use of adjuvant chemotherapy in younger women with early breast cancer (EBC) has substantially improved the long-term outcome. However, this benefit is associated with long-term toxic effects which are becoming more important as prognosis improves. These include premature menopause and infertility in young pre-menopausal women. The incidence of premature menopause depends on the type and intensity of chemotherapy and the patient's age. In women <35 years old, the long-term (3 years after diagnosis) incidence of amenorrhea is similar to women who have not received chemotherapy, at ∼ 10%, but this increases to 50% in women between 35 and 40 years old, and can be up to 85% in women >40 years. Premature ovarian failure has major consequences including sexual dysfunction and infertility, and the latter may be of great concern to younger patients with breast cancer and has a bearing in influencing treatment decisions in almost 30% of cases. Currently, there is no standard treatment for preventing chemotherapy-induced ovarian failure. Previous studies have suggested that temporary ovarian suppression with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue may preserve ovarian function both in humans and animal models. Clinical data are conflicting. For example, a recent Italian multi-center phase III study Prevention of Menopause-Induced by Chemotherapy: A Study in Early Breast Cancer Patients-Gruppo Italiano Mamella 6 (PROMISE-GIM6) reported that the use of GnRH analogue, triptorelin during chemotherapy in pre-menopausal patients with EBC, reduced the occurrence of chemotherapy-induced early menopause with four pregnancies after a 26-month follow-up [one in the chemotherapy alone arm and three in the triptorelin with chemotherapy arm]. In contrast, another trial suggested that the use of goserelin concurrently with neoadjuvant chemotherapy did not significantly reduce incidence of amenorrhea 6 months after the end of chemotherapy compared with those receiving chemotherapy alone and only two pregnancies were recorded [one in each arm] with a follow-up of 2 years.
To gain insight by means of a discrete choice experiment questionnaire into characteristics of medically assisted reproduction (MAR) with artificial gametes (AGs) valued by couples confronted with ovarian failure and their physicians and the trade-offs they make between these treatment characteristics.
