What is the optimal GnRH antagonist protocol for ovarian stimulation during ART treatment? A systematic review and network meta-analysis

What is the optimal GnRH antagonist protocol for ovarian stimulation during ART treatment? A systematic review and network meta-analysis

Several GnRH antagonist protocols are currently used during COS in the context of ART treatments; however, questions remain regarding whether these protocols are comparable in terms of efficacy and safety. A systematic review followed by a pairwise and network meta-analyses were performed.

A “first” on the horizon: the expansion of uterus transplantation to transgender women

A “first” on the horizon: the expansion of uterus transplantation to transgender women

Feminizing genital affirmation surgery is colloquially referred to as “vaginoplasty.” With improved medical coverage for gender affirming care and surgery, access to this surgery has risen, and vaginoplasty has been increasingly performed over the last decade (3). Several vaginoplasty techniques exist and there is considerable nuance to the surgery as each surgeon brings their own modifications to the procedure.

Obstetric, neonatal, and child health outcomes following embryo biopsy for preimplantation genetic testing

Obstetric, neonatal, and child health outcomes following embryo biopsy for preimplantation genetic testing

Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) of embryos developed in vitro requires a biopsy for obtaining cellular samples for the analysis. Signs of cell injury have been described in association with this procedure. Thus, the consequences of the biopsy on obstetric and neonatal outcomes have been the subject of some quantitative analyses, although the reliability of data pooling may be limited by important issues in the various reports.

analysis of the outcome of 11 712 men applying to be sperm donors in Denmark and the USA

The successful recruitment of sperm donors is essential to provide a range of medically assisted reproduction (MAR) procedures, which rely upon donor sperm. Typically, these include donor insemination, or IVF using donor sperm by heterosexual couples with severe male factor infertility, and increasingly by single women or women in same-sex relationships ( National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), 2013).
