Active clinical trials for "Infertility"

Azoospermia is a word meaning to ejaculates with no spermatozoa without a definite underlying cause .1% of men has azoospermia, representing nearly 10 to 15% of all infertile men. The azoospermia is a major concern in our community. There is no actual epidemiological studies to estimate the actual numbers in Egypt. Azoospermia has several classifications, pre-testicular, testicular & post-testicular cause .The semen analysis is the main investigation done for these patient .The treatment methods range from hormonal therapy to surgery or ICSI . The imaging modalities has developed greatly in the last 3 decades. That it became in several setting as a bedside test or investigation. The main modalities used in azoospermia are scrotal ultrasound, TRUS and MRI. The first TRUS was introduced 1957.

Non-urgent medical care, such as fertility treatments, has been massively postponed during the past weeks due to the COVID19 pandemic. The lockdown and the closure of IVF centers might cause anxiety and depression among infertile couples, who are already exposed to the distressing experience of infertility and for whom the wait for a baby already appears unending. Few data are available regarding the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on pregnant women and foetus, or on fertility. This study aims to assess the views of infertile couple regarding the potential risks of COVID during their fertility treatment and their personal experience of the COVID pandemic and their expectation for further treatment .

Retrospective study, including patients from january 2013 to december 2018, who were diagnosed with unexplained infertility : spontaneously ovulating women with normal pelvic ultrasound scan, patent tubes on hysterosalpingography and normal pelvic exam or pelvic MRI normal. Semen analyses were normal according to the World Health Organization criteria. Couples were referred for diagnostic laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. They were then addressed for spontaneous fertility or ART to conceive. The investigators would like to see how many surgeries were useful to assess a diagnostic, and if operating allows a satisfying pregnancy rate. The investigators would like to assess how many diagnosis was done after surgery and how many pregnancy were obtained. The investigators search other prognostic factors than age or parity.

The goal of this retrospective analysis is to focus on peritoneal bleeding after oocyte retrieval and to further investigate factors related to this specific complication and if hemorrhagic complication rate modifications can be observed.

Prospective controlled study to assess the reproductive outcomes of OD recipients in which the donors were subjected to the DYG protocol (20mg/day) compared with those subjected to the short protocol with cetrorelix (0.25 mg/day) from Day 7 or since a leading follicle reached 14 mm. The OD cycles were triggered with triptoreline acetate and the trigger criterion was ≥3 follicles of diameter >18mm.

Patients will be subjected to: A. Clinical evaluation including history and examination B. Ultrasonographic evaluation of Ovarian Morphometry: Patients will be evaluated in early follicular phase of the menstrual flow (cycle's days 1-3) by TVS scanning; using MINDRAY DP-1100 Plus Digital Machine, 7.5MHz, China, by only one examiner to avoid inter-observer variations. Ovarian images will be procured in the sagittal and coronal planes and the frozen image reflecting the largest ovarian dimensions will be utilized for the measurement of ovarian length, width, and height (cm) as per standard clinical practice. Mean values of both ovaries will be used. Ovarian volume will be calculated from ellipsoid volume formula, {Ovarian volume = Ovarian Width (D1) × Ovarian Length (D2) ×Ovarian Height (D3) × 0 .523} Antral follicle count will be determined for each patient C. Laboratory Evaluation: Blood samples will be collected in the early follicular phase. Samples will be immediately centrifuged and serum saved at -20 degrees for measurement of: Anti Mullerian Hormone (AMH) Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Estradiol (E2) Using electro-chemiluminescence immunoassay (ELICA)

The hysteroscopy used was rigid continuous flow diagnostic hysteroscopy (Tuttligen, Karl Storz, Germany). It has a 30o panoramic optic which is 4mm in diameter and the diagnostic continuous flow outer sheath is 6.5 mm in diameter. The patient was placed in lithotomy position with the buttocks projecting slightly beyond the table edge. A reflex camera (Olympus) with an objective that has a focal length varies from f70 to f140 together with (Karl Storz) special zoom length, adapter to Hopkins telescope and a suitable cableware used with computer flash unit. The hysteroscopic picture which appeared through the optic, transmitted on the monitor by the camera which is fitted on the eyepiece of the optic where the panoramic diagnostic hysteroscopy could be informed with better visualization and accuracy. The light generator which is a metal halide automatic light source with a 150 watt lamp (model G71A,Circon ACMI, Germany) was switched on and the high cable was attached to the hysteroscope. Dilatation of the cervix was avoided whenever possible to avoid leakage of the medium into the vagina. The hysteroscope was then introduced into the external os and advanced under vision along the axis of cervical canal. Once the cavity was entered, an overview of the uterine cavity was performed. This was followed by systematic examination for fundus then tubal ostia on both sides then the uterine wall through slow rotatory movements of the telescope. Diagnostic laparoscopy was done in the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle .The patients were placed in the dorsal lithotomy position to allow vaginal access for uterine manipulation; the legs positioned so that the thighs are slightly flexed no more than 90o from the plane of the abdomen. The patient was placed in the complete horizontal position, Veress needle was placed through the umbilicus and into the peritoneal cavity, the primary trocar with sleeve (5mm in diameter) was placed at a similar angle in to the Veress needle. Secondary trocars were used, 2 secondary trocars were placed. The trocars were placed laterally, approximately 8 cm from the midline and 8 cm above the pubic symphysis to avoid the epigastric, vessels which are 5.5 cm from the midline at this level. Then laparoscopic dye chromotubation was performed

In the current era of assisted reproductive techniques where technology can help overcome defects in sperm function, the value of semen analysis has become even more inaccurate. Initial reports of intracytoplasmic sperm injection revealed its ability to bypass the natural selection process and enable men with severely impaired semen parameters to achieve both clinical pregnancy and live birth

The survey analyses how to improve the decision-making process for fertility preservation in the pediatric population based on patient and parent feelings about fertility preservation counselling influence of the emotional state of patients and parents on fertility preservation acceptance support of medical staff and family The study revealed that attention to the fertility preservation pathways was important for the satisfaction of patient's and parent's expectations
