Disease relevance of Reproductive Techniques, Assisted

• The specimens were used for assisted reproductive technologies, including in vitro fertilization and tubal embryo transfer [7].
• Measurement of MIS at the time of HCG administration may, therefore, in the future improve management of patients undergoing treatments with assisted reproductive technology [8].
• Basal and stimulation day 5 anti-Mullerian hormone serum concentrations as predictors of ovarian response and pregnancy in assisted reproductive technology cycles stimulated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist--gonadotropin treatment [9].

Biological context of Reproductive Techniques, Assisted

• This multicentre, open, randomized, study compared the efficacy and safety of recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (rFSH; follitropin alpha) with highly purified urinary human FSH (uFSH; urofollitropin HP) in women undergoing ovulation induction for assisted reproductive techniques [10].
• In view of these findings, PGD has become an integral part of assisted reproductive techniques for the prevention of affected pregnancies and improvement of IVF efficiency [11].
• OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that the concentration of early follicular phase serum müllerian-inhibiting substance (MIS) is associated with ovarian response in women undergoing ovulation induction in preparation for assisted reproductive technology (ART) [12].
• Results are discussed with regard to methods of therapeutic application of pentoxifylline as an enhancer of sperm movement in assisted reproductive technology [13].
• INTERVENTION(S): Intrauterine inseminations, clomiphene citrate and IUI (CC-IUI), hMG and IUI (hMG-IUI), assisted reproductive techniques (ART), and neosalpingostomy by laparotomy [14].

Anatomical context of Reproductive Techniques, Assisted

• Thirty-six women undergoing assisted reproductive techniques who presented both these factors, received intravenous albumin at a dose of 5% in Ringers lactate in doses of 500 ml during oocyte retrieval and 500 ml immediately thereafter in the recovery room [15].
• Our objective was to investigate if levothyroxine (LT4) exerts any effect on pregnancy and/or delivery rates in thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb)-positive (+) women undergoing assisted reproductive technologies [16].
• Antioxidant potential of human serum albumin: role in the recovery of high quality human spermatozoa for assisted reproductive technology [17].
• OBJECTIVE: From early gestation the human trophoblast secretes large amounts of inhibin A and activin A, and their measurement provides a value for predicting the outcome in women who become pregnant after assisted reproductive techniques [18].
• Individual congener and total PCB concentrations were determined in serum and follicular fluid obtained from women undergoing assisted reproductive technologies (in-vitro fertilization and embryo replacement) [19].

Associations of Reproductive Techniques, Assisted with chemical compounds

• College of American Pathologists and American Society for Reproductive Medicine accreditation of assisted reproductive technology (ART) laboratories is associated with a decrease in take home baby rates of reporting ART laboratories [20].
• The role of progesterone in luteal support in assisted reproductive technologies (ART) is reviewed [21].
• Use of pentoxifylline in assisted reproductive technology [22].
• Physiological sex steroid replacement improved uterine measures and these women may benefit from assisted reproductive technology [23].
• Increased pregnancy failure rates after clomiphene following assisted reproductive technology [24].

Gene context of Reproductive Techniques, Assisted

• In the patients lacking the common POLG allele, the outcome of the assisted reproductive techniques (ART) for the couples was evaluated [25].
• The majority of women with GH-deficiency, but not all, require assisted reproductive technologies to induce ovulation [26].
• Patients with CBAVD and renal agenesis should be screened for CFTR gene mutations before assisted reproductive techniques are used [27].
• OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of antibodies to thyroglobulin and thyroid peroxidase (or microsomal) in women with recurrent pregnancy loss and women undergoing assisted reproductive techniques (ART) compared with healthy controls [28].
• The purpose of this study was to define the relation between follicular fluid concentrations of VEGF (FF VEGF) and early luteal function at the preimplantation stage during assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles [29].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Reproductive Techniques, Assisted

• However, assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer, can be used for production of MHC-defined macaques, expressing multiple MHC class I and II molecules for which SIV peptides, tetramers and ELISPOT assays exist [30].
• Whereas egg retrieval for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo cryopreservation is a valid assisted reproductive technology (ART) for married couples, it may be unacceptable for the young single woman [31].
• Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists have been widely used to prevent luteinizing hormone surges during controlled ovarian stimulation in assisted reproductive technologies [32].
• To enhance the chances of conception, assisted reproductive techniques (ART) have been improved and, in the last 5 years, thousands of babies have been delivered after IVF or ICSI procedures [33].
• Even if the uterus is able to respond to exogenous sex steroid stimulation, and appropriate assisted reproductive technologies are available, a successful pregnancy outcome is by no means ensured [34].
