Comment on “AMH predicts miscarriage in non-PCOS but not in PCOS related infertility ART cycles”
Abstract Arkfeld et al. reported that AMH predicts miscarriage in non-PCOS but not in PCOS ART cycles. We raise concerns regarding the biological plausibility and data interpretation of their findings. Extremely low AMH (

Journal Article
What might a satisfactory response by journals and publishers to publication integrity concerns look like?
Abstract Background A reliable biomedical literature is critical to scientific advances and patient care. When concerns about the integrity of a publication are raised, it is very commonly by journal readers. Published evidence reports that responses from publishers to integrity concerns raised by…

The value of the AAGL staging system for predicting recurrence after conservative surgery for ovarian endometriomas
Abstract Background Ovarian endometrioma (OMA) is the most prevalent form of endometriosis. Conservative surgical management of the condition is associated with a relatively high recurrence rate, the degree of which is potentially linked to disease severity. Recently, the American Association of…

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor treatment in women with premature ovarian insufficiency: a pilot clinical study of biological activity and menstrual resumption
Abstract Background Women are born with a limited number of eggs, which decline over time. Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) occurs when this decline happens before age 40, causing infertility. Bone marrow (BM) stem cells may help restore ovarian function, as some women conceive after BM…

The type of endometrial preparation for embryo transfer after egg donation affects obstetric outcomes and the expression of placental angiogenic biomarkers
Abstract Background We investigated the impact of natural cycle/modified natural cycle and artificial cycle in oocyte donation pregnancies on obstetric/neonatal outcomes and placental angiogenic biomarkers. Methods A total number of 201 singleton live births resulted from in vitro fertilization…

Maternal, pregnancy, and neonatal outcomes associated with surrogacy: a scoping review
Abstract Background Surrogacy is considered to be a method that allows infertile couples to have a child with the assistance of a third party, known as the surrogate mother. Two forms exist: traditional surrogacy, in which the surrogate provides the oocyte and is thus genetically related to the…

Pregnancy and perinatal complications in untreated subfertile couples following singleton spontaneous conception: a narrative review
Abstract Background Literature shows that ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination, and assisted reproductive technology are independently associated with increased risks for pregnancy, perinatal, and childhood health complications. However, the independent association of couples’…

Journal Article
Identifying cycle-specific predictive factors for clinical pregnancy after recurrent implantation failure: a retrospective cohort study
Abstract Objective To investigate whether the clinical predictors of achieving a clinical pregnancy differ between fresh and frozen embryo transfer cycles in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) undergoing their first ART treatment after diagnosis. Methods This retrospective study…

Impact of ovarian stimulation duration in GnRH antagonist protocols on the cumulative ongoing pregnancy rate in women with normal ovarian reserve: a cohort study
Abstract Background The optimal duration of ovarian stimulation in GnRH antagonist protocols remains insufficiently explored, despite its potential impact on oocyte quality, embryo development, and endometrial receptivity. Identifying an optimal stimulation window may improve success rates in…

Impact of state insurance mandates on in vitro fertilization utilization among patients with recurrent pregnancy loss
Abstract Objective To evaluate if state in vitro fertilization (IVF) insurance mandates with language inclusive of patients with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) were associated with increased utilization of IVF for this indication in 2021. Materials and methods State IVF mandate data from 2021 were…

Testosterone modifies U-Shaped association of eGFR with all-cause mortality in Chinese female centenarians: a prospective cohort study
Abstract Background The relationship between kidney function and mortality in centenarians, particularly with respect to hormonal regulation, remains unclear. This study investigated the association between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and all-cause mortality in female centenarians…

Low-Intensity pulsed ultrasound reduces ovarian cryopreservation injury through the Notch signaling pathway
Abstract The cryopreservation of ovarian tissue can induce oxidative damage. In this study, we investigated whether low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) can mitigate this oxidative damage and examined the underlying molecular mechanisms. Ovarian tissues were randomly divided into control…

Cryopreservation of single-sperm from semen and testicular samples: a 5-year monocentric experience in hundreds of patients
Abstract For patients with severe oligozoospermia, cryopreservation of single human spermatozoa highlights its advantages. Previous research has focused on the development of micro-drop single sperm freezing methods with non-biological carriers over the past 20 years. However, these methods lacked…

Association of metal exposure in follicular fluid with assisted reproductive technology outcomes in East Chinese women
Abstract Background An increasing body of evidence indicates that exposure to metal elements may adversely affect female fertility. While the association between metal concentrations in the follicular fluid (FF) and fertility is acknowledged, the relationship between metal exposure in FF and the…

Transparency only from authors? Insights from ‘mysterious’ retractions in obstetrics and gynecology
Abstract Retraction of scientific papers may occur when the peer-review or publication process is compromised, even in cases where authors have no responsibility for the identified shortcomings. Using a recent case in which a peer-reviewed open-access mega-journal retracted a series of articles due…

Mechanism and potential therapeutic strategies of genetic abnormalities involved in deoxyribonucleic acid double-strand breaks leading to the development of human non-obstructive azoospermia
Abstract Background Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is a testicular or pre-testicular spermatogenic disorder characterized by severe impairment in sperm production due to testicular dysfunction. Whole-exome sequencing has identified mutations in several genes related to double-strand break (DSB)…

Journal Article
Moderate-intensity physical activity is associated with favorable semen-parameter changes and normalization of selected abnormalities in men with impaired semen quality
Abstract Background Physical activity is a potentially modifiable lifestyle factor relevant to male reproductive health, yet evidence among men with confirmed impaired semen quality remains limited. This study examined the association between self-reported physical activity intensity and changes in…

Anti-Müllerian hormone promotes minichromosome maintenance protein expression and creatine metabolism in primate preantral follicles under hypoxia
Abstract Background Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) actions during ovarian follicular development appear to be stage-dependent. AMH expression increases during preantral follicle growth, which regulates granulosa cell proliferation. Preantral follicles are located in the ovarian cortex, an avascular…

Modification effect of multiple gestation on the relationship between maternal body mass index and miscarriage in frozen-thawed embryo transfer: a retrospective cohort study
Abstract Background Elevated maternal body mass index (BMI) increases miscarriage risk in assisted reproductive technology, but it is unclear whether this risk differs between singleton and twin pregnancies. Twin gestations impose greater metabolic and hemodynamic demands, which may amplify the…
