The computer-assisted program SiD was developed to assess and select sperm in real time based on motility characteristics. To date, there are limited studies examining the correlation between AI-assisted sperm selection and ICSI outcomes. To address this limit, a total of 646 sibling MII oocytes were randomly divided into two groups as follows: the ICSI group (n = 320): ICSI performed with sperm selected by the embryologist and the ICSI-SiD group (n = 326): ICSI performed with sperm selected using SiD software...

BACKGROUND: Laser-assisted hatching (LAH) stands as the predominant technique for removing the zona pellucida (ZP) in embryos, primarily consisting of two methods: drilling laser-assisted hatching (D-LAH) and thinning laser-assisted hatching (T-LAH). Presently, both methods have limitations, and their comparative efficacy for embryo implantation and clinical pregnancy remains uncertain. AIM: Evaluate the impact of D-LAH and T-LAH on clinical pregnancy rates within assisted reproductive technology (ART)...

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular conditions (eg, cardiac and coronary conditions, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and cardiomyopathies) were the leading cause of maternal mortality between 2017 and 2019. The United States has the highest maternal mortality rate of any high-income nation, disproportionately impacting those who identify as non-Hispanic Black or Hispanic. Novel clinical approaches to the detection and diagnosis of cardiovascular conditions are therefore imperative. Emerging research is demonstrating that machine learning (ML) is a promising tool for detecting patients at increased risk for hypertensive disorders during pregnancy...

BACKGROUND: Vaginal progesterone in preterm birth and adverse outcomes caused by cervical insufficiency remains controversial. To address it, the effect of vaginal progesterone on preterm delivery and perinatal outcome of single pregnancy women with short cervix (less than 25 mm) was systematically evaluated by meta-analysis. METHODS: "Vaginal progesterone," "placebo," "ultrasound," "cervix," "singleton pregnancy," "preterm birth," and "antenatal outcomes" were entered to screen clinical studies PubMed, Embase, and the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM)...

BACKGROUND: The causes of pregnancy failure after intrauterine insemination (IUI) are controversial. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influencing factors on clinical pregnancy after IUI. METHODS: This study retrospectively analyzed 1464 cycles of IUI performed at the Meizhou People's Hospital between March 2014 and June 2023. The χ2 test and logistic regression analysis was applied to assess the associations between the some factors (maternal age, paternal age, cycle type (natural cycle or ovulation induction cycle), hormone level on the day of endometrial transformation (estradiol (E2 ), luteinizing hormone (LH), and progesterone (P)), endometrial thickness on the day of endometrial transformation, and forward motile sperm concentration after treatment) and pregnancy failure...

AIM: This guideline (GL) is aimed at providing a clinical practice reference for the management of sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in adults. PHPT management in pregnancy was not considered. METHODS: This GL has been developed following the methods described in the Manual of the Italian National Guideline System. For each question, the panel appointed by Associazione Medici Endocrinology (AME) and Società Italiana dell'Osteoporosi, del Metabolismo Minerale e delle Malattie dello Scheletro (SIOMMMS) identified potentially relevant outcomes, which were then rated for their impact on therapeutic choices...

Objective: To explore the related factors influencing the detection rate of mosaic embryo and the pregnancy outcomes of mosaic embryo transfer in preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) based on next generation sequencing (NGS) technology. Methods: A retrospective study was performed to analyze the clinical data of patients in 745 PGT-A cycles from January 2019 to May 2023 at Chongqing Health Center for Women and Children, including 2 850 blastocysts. The biopsy cells were tested using NGS technology, and the embryos were divided into three groups based on the test results, namely euploid embryos, aneuploid embryos and mosaic embryos...

PURPOSE: This study is aiming to test whether variation in post warming culture time impacts blastocyst metabolism or pregnancy outcome. METHODS: In this single center retrospective cohort study, outcomes of 11,520 single frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles were analyzed from January 2015 to December 2020. Patient treatments included both natural and programmed cycles. Time categories were determined using the time between blastocyst warming and embryo transfer: 0 (0- <1h), 1 (1-<2h), 2 (2-<3h), 3(3-<4h), 4 (4-<5), 5 (5-<6), 6 (6-<7) and 7 (7-8h)...

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have reported inconsistent results regarding blastocyst selection with a high day 3 (D3) cell number and the eventual pregnancy outcomes. Thus, in this study, the relationship between the D3 cell number and clinical outcomes of day 5 single blastocyst transfer (SBT) in vitrified-warmed transfer cycles was investigated. METHODS: Our retrospective study included 1144 day 5 SBT in vitrified-warmed cycles between February 2016 and February 2021...

CONTEXT: Over the past few years, there has been an increasing amount of scholarly literature suggesting a connection between the nutritional status of pregnant mothers and early fetal development, as well as the long-term health consequences of their offspring. Multiple studies have documented that alterations in dietary patterns prior to conception have the potential to affect the initial stages of embryonic development. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to perform a comprehensive review of the research pertaining to the correlation between phytochemicals ( specifically, polyphenols, carotenoids and phytoestrogens) and assisted reproductive technology (ART)...

BACKGROUND: Birthing people with de novo postpartum hypertensive disorders remain among the highest risk for severe maternal morbidity. Randomized controlled trials demonstrate a benefit to oral loop-diuretics in decreasing postpartum hypertensive morbidity in patients with an antenatal diagnosis of preeclampsia. It is not known whether this same therapy benefits patients at risk for new-onset postpartum hypertension OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether oral furosemide can reduce risk for de novo postpartum hypertension (dnPPHTN) among high-risk birthing people by reducing post-delivery blood pressure...

INTRODUCTION: Despite the scale-up of Option B+, long-term retention of women in HIV care during pregnancy and the postpartum period remains an important challenge. We compared adherence to clinic appointments and antiretroviral therapy (ART) at 6 weeks, 6, and and 24 months postpartum among pregnant women living with HIV and initiating Option B+. Women were randomized to a peer group support, community-based drug distribution and income-generating intervention called "Friends for Life Circles" (FLCs) versus the standard of care (SOC)...
