Infertility-related stress, anxiety and ovarian stimulation: can couples be reassured about the effects of psychological factors on biological respon…
2016
Abstract The aim of this prospective, longitudinal study was to examine the association between couples' pre-treatment psychological characteristics (state anxiety and infertility-related stress levels of both partners) and ovarian response during assisted reproductive technology treatment in a well-controlled sample. A total of 217 heterosexual couples (434 patients), suffering from primary infertility and undergoing their first assisted reproductive technology treatment at the Reproductive Medicine Unit of ANDROS Day Surgery Clinic in Palermo (Italy), were recruited. Psychological variables were assessed using the State Scale of State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S) and the Fertility Pro…
Trasplante autólogo de médula ósea en ovario en mujeres con baja reserva ovárica y fallo ovárico precoz, para rejuvenecimiento del nicho ovárico y fa…

Como consecuencia del retraso de la maternidad a causa de las tendencias sociales actuales, existe una disminución de la calidad y cantidad de ovocitos disponibles. Al problema fisiológico de la edad materna avanzada, se suman dos patologías, que asocian una baja reserva ovárica, en pacientes jóvenes: baja respuesta ovárica (del inglés, poor ovarian response, o POR), e insuficiencia ovárica prematura(del inglés, premature ovarian insufficiency o POI). Numerosos protocolos de estimulación ovárica han sido desarrollados, sin ser efectivos, siendo en la mayoría de los casos, la única opción para estas pacientes la donación de ovocitos/embriones. Varios trabajos de investigación han descrito la…
Inositol supplementation and IVF outcome: preliminary data
2012
Myo-Inositol (MI) is involved in several aspects of human reproduction. Elevated concentrations of myo-inositol in human follicular fluids, in fact, seem to play a positive role in follicular maturity, since to represent a possible marker of good oocyte quality. Nevertheless its positive role in PCOS patients is a consequence of a defect in the insulin signaling (inositol- containing phosphoglycan mediators) pathway that seems to be implicated in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of myo-inositol supplementation to “standard” therapy in PCOS women and in “poor responders”, submitted to In Vitro Fecundation (IVF) cycles. In particular, we …
High progesterone levels in women with high ovarian response do not affect clinical outcomes: a retrospective cohort study
2014
Background The potentially detrimental role of progesterone during the follicular phase has been a matter of controversy for several years; however, few studies have analyzed the effects of combined raised estradiol and progesterone levels on pregnancy outcomes. The aim of the present study was to determine the influence of high progesterone levels on clinical outcomes in the context of high ovarian response. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study that included 2850 women classified as high responders. The women were subdivided into six groups depending on their progesterone concentration on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) administration: 1.81 ng/ml (>p90). Ovarian …
