Tubal PatencySterilityObservational, single-center, prospective case-control study, in which each patient is his own control. It focuses on the study of tubal patency and establishing the agreement of results between HyFoSy and HSG.
The Effect of Latent Tuberculosis Infection on the Pregnancy Outcome of IVF-ET
InfertilityTuberculosisThis study evaluate the effect of latent infection of tuberculosis on the pregnancy outcome of IVF-ET in infertile patients with radiographic lesions suggesting old healed tuberculosis
Ovarian Reserve in Women With Cystic Fibrosis and the Correlation With Demographic and Clinical...
Cystic FibrosisInfertility1 moreThe main objective of this study is to assess the ovarian reserve of CF patients via measurement of AMH and AFC. Secondly, we aim to correlate between the ovarian reserve and demographic and clinical characteristics of these patients. Outcomes measured will be levels of AMH and AFC, as compared to standard means in the general population. There is no need for a control group in this study since the standardized means of AMH and AFC in the general population are a more accurate comparable measure, which is based on data collected from large-scale populations, and thus accounts for confounding age factor in a more complete manner than can be obtained via a control group (Almog et al., 2011, La Marca et al., 2012, Penzias et al., 2020).

Sperm Separation Efficiency to Maximize Pregnancy Rates: MACS vs. FERTILE Chip
InfertilityMaleIn assisted reproductive technology (ART), the diagnosis of male infertility has been conducted based on the assessment and analysis of sperm concentration, motility and morphology with the aim of obtaining the best quality of spermatozoa. Any type of damage present in sperm DNA can lead to ART failure. Sperm DNA fragmentation might be the most frequent cause of paternal DNA anomaly transmitted to offspring, and is found in a variable percentage of spermatozoa in subfertile and infertile men. Such DNA fragmentation is negatively correlated with semen quality and consequently, there is a need to develop sperm separation techniques that facilitate retrieval of as many spermatozoa with normal DNA integrity as possible from ejaculated semen. Because of centrifugation steps associated to swim-up or density-gradient can induce sperm DNA fragmentation via reactive oxygen species (ROS), microfluidic sperm sorters are being used to isolate motile human spermatozoa based on fluid dynamics. It seems to be that using this separation method, spermatozoa do not undergo added physical stress from sources such as a centrifuge. Hence, this new technology has been proposed to minimize DNA damage. In this study, we aim to determine if microfluidic sorting improves the selection of the best functional and with lower DNA fragmentation spermatozoa when compared to magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) in split semen samples, and increases clinical outcomes.
Investigating the Relationships Among Illness Cognition, Social Support, Stress, and Emotional Reactions...
Infertile PatientsThe current study attempted to explore the relationships among stressors (cognitions of illness, socioeconomic status, social support, marital stressor, social stressor, etc), perceived stress level, and emotional reactions (anxiety and depression) of infertile patients and to propose the measurement and structural models of infertile aniexty and depression.
Examination of Serum Progesterone Levels in an IVF Population Following Two Types of Egg Aspiration...
InfertilityFemaleThe purpose of this study is to determine whether progesterone hormone levels differ following egg retrieval with a single lumen needle compared with a double lumen needle. These levels will be measured on several days before and after egg retrieval. The progesterone levels in each IVF group will also be compared to the group of women who are having IUI. In addition, these progesterone levels will be correlated with pregnancy outcomes.
Lifestyle and Fertility Study on Antioxidant Status, Diet and Early Pregnancy
InfertilityPregnancy3 moreResearchers believe that certain lifestyle factors can influence a couple's ability to conceive and have a baby. The ISIS Study will look at the health habits of couples who are planning their first pregnancy, and then attempt to measure the effect these habits have on the couple's fertility. The ISIS Study hopes to clarify the link between lifestyle and fertility, and believes that information gained in this project may help future couples in their attempts to conceive.
Maternal Serum Cytokine Levels and Angiogenic Factor Levels in IVF vs Spontaneously Conceived Pregnancies...
InfertilityThe objective of the study is to compare maternal levels of cytokines and angiogenic factors in IVF vs spontaneously conceived singleton pregnancies. The null hypothesis is that there will be no significant difference.
