Ovarian Reserve as a Predictor of Cumulative Live Birth [2020]
8601
Conclusion: Our prediction model estimates a couple's individualised probability of achieving a live birth after their first complete cycle of IVF using all known pre-treatment predictors.

Response to stimulation in IVF may predict longer term health risks [2020]
8600
A follow-up study of almost 20,000 young women who had a first cycle of IVF in Denmark between 1995 and 2014 indicates that those who responded poorly to treatment, with few eggs collected, are at a significantly increased risk of later age-related diseases. The findings, says investigator Mette Wulf Christensen from Aarhus University in Denmark, suggest an "association with early ovarian ageing and an accelerated ageing process in general”.(1)

Varying levels of serum estradiol do not alter the timing of the early endometrial secretory transformation [2020]
8598
Given that the endometrial response to P4 is unaffected by E2 levels in the supraphysiologic range, diminutions in implantation seen in stimulated cycles may result from embryonic-endometrial dyssynchrony following early P4 elevations or slowly blastulating embryos, which occur independently of the magnitude of the E2 rise.
Sperm Selection Strategies and Their Impact on Assisted Reproductive Technology Outcomes [2020]
8596
In this review, different sperm selection strategies for retrieving spermatozoa with the highest fertilising potential and their impact on ART outcomes are discussed. In addition, advantages and disadvantages of each method and the best suited techniques for each clinical scenario are described.
Nampt-mediated Spindle Sizing Secures a Post-Anaphase Increase in Spindle Speed Required for Extreme Asymmetry [in the mouse] [2020]
8595
By analysing spindle speed in live oocytes, we identify a striking and transient acceleration after anaphase-onset that is severely blunted following Nampt-depletion. Slow-moving midzones of elongated spindles induce cortical furrowing deep within the oocyte before protrusions can form, altogether resulting in larger oocyte fragments being cleaved off. Additionally, we find that Nampt-depletion lowers NAD and ATP levels and that reducing NAD usi
Does ICSI for in Vitro Fertilization Cause More Aneuploid Embryos? [Case Report] [2020]
8593
Conclusion: These results indicate that more embryos produced by ICSI are aneuploidy as compared with embryos produced by regular IVF. The results indicate that in vitro manipulation of oocytes for ICSI procedure may have adverse effect on human oocytes, and it may be one of the reasons causing aneuploid embryos in human IVF.

Cumulative Outcome of Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis for Sickle Cell Disease: A 5-year Review [2020]
8592
The cumulative live-birth rate was 54%/PGD cycle started and 63%/couple embarking on PGD. The rate of multiple births was 8%. The cumulative outcome of PGD treatment for prevention of SCD transmission is high and PGD treatment should be offered to all at-risk couples.
Impact of Endometrioma and Bilaterality on IVF / ICSI Cycles in Patients With Endometriosis [2020]
8591
Conclusion: This study shows that presence of endometrioma negatively effects fertility parameters albeit no significant effect over embryo quality, PR and LBR whereas bilaterality doesn't have any influence over any fertility parameters and PR.
Do Patient Factors Influence Embryologists' Decisions to Freeze Borderline Blastocysts? [2020]
8590
This study provides evidence suggesting that when faced with an uncertain blastocyst, factors pertaining to the patient (maternal age, the presence/absence of other top quality blastocysts, and the presence/absence of previously unsuccessful IVF cycles) influence the decision to freeze.

A tissue-engineered uterus supports live births in rabbits [2020]
8585
Bioengineered uterine tissue could provide a treatment option for women with uterine factor infertility. In large animal models, reconstruction of the uterus has been demonstrated only with xenogeneic tissue grafts. Here we use biodegradable polymer scaffolds seeded with autologous cells to restore uterine structure and function in rabbits.
Scientists were able to show that bioengineered uteri in an animal model developed the native tissue-like structures needed to support normal reproductive function.
Effects Of Follicular Fluid Oxidative Status on Human Mural Granulosa Cells, Oocyte Competency and ICSI Parameters [2020]
8583
Oxidative stress detected in follicular fluid adversely affects fertilization rates post-ICSI however no effect on the remaining parameters including embryo quality, pregnancy, and implantation rates.
Sources of Exposure to Urinary Phthalates Among Couples Undergoing Infertility Treatment [2020]
8582
Identifying differences in sources of phthalate exposure may help clinicians to intervene to reduce exposure as part of a comprehensive strategy to help improve IVF outcomes.
