For some cancers, especially hematologic pathologies, transplanting frozen-thawed ovarian tissue can transfer malignant cells. This paper overviews this risk for different cancers.
A case of falsely elevated serum AMH level due to heterophilic interference in an infertile 37-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis is reported for the first time.
Supplementation of glycoprotein 130 to culture media increased blastocyst formation of human pre-embryos.
Women who carry a BRCA mutation experience menopause earlier, on average, than women who do not have a mutation, but the difference does not appear to affect fertility.
Both female and male body mass indices (BMI) is important for the outcome of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatments. Increased female and male BMIs negatively affect the chance of live birth, especially after IVF.
Abnormal head shape of fresh motile spermatozoa evaluated by elliptic Fourier analysis reflected sperm DNA fragmentation, providing a rationale for selecting spermatozoa by microscopic shape assessment in the IMSI procedure.
The delivery rate after vitrification of embryos derived from vitrified oocytes is not impaired by double vitrification.
When performing ovarian stimulation for fertility preservation in cancer patients it is critical to understand time constraints, potential complications, risks, and the limited time opportunity.
Vitrification of oocytes is a reproducible, safe, and effective method for fertility preservation in both oncologic and nononcologic patients, with a rapidly increasing demand.
Intrauterine exposure to acceptable levels of diesel exhaust diminishes ovarian reserve of sexually mature mice. The authors recommend more careful examination of the environmental guidelines in humans.
