Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by increased ovarian angiogenesis and vascularity. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is main angiogenic factor which increased in PCOS and may play an important role in these vascular changes. Placental growth factor (PlGF), a VEGF family member. PlGF and VEGFA that are expressed by both g...

Back ground: Endometrium contraction following intra-uterine insemination(IUI) was considered one of implantation failure causes.Aim of the study: The primary purpose of the study was to ascertain the effect of piroxicam treatment on pregnancy outcome following six days of intrauterine insemination. Materials and Methods: The study was accomplished...

Objective: The aim: A prospective randomized comparative study was conducted to investigate the effect of dual trigger, using gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) versus hCG alone, for ovulation trigger in controlled ovarian stimulation intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycle on pregnancy outcome. Patients...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of using Presepsin as a biomarker to evaluate the clinical pregnancy rate in a cohort of couples undergoing ICSI in a sample of Iraqi population. Patients and Methods: Sixty infertile women selected for undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection, the patient’s ovarian stimulation were...

A prospective randomised (comparative) study was conducted in the High Institute for Infertility Diagnosis and Assisted Reproductive Technologies in AL-Nahrain University, Baghdad – Iraq, from the 1st of October 2018 till 1st of September 2019 involving seventy women of infertile couples with the same inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were ran...

Abstract Stem cell factor (SCF) is one of the first growth factors derived from granulosa cells in the ovarian follicle plays a critical role in hematopoiesis and the generation of melanocytes and germ cells. SCF also serves an important role in the development of the interstitial cells of Cajal in the intestine and the learning functions in the hi...

The effects of maternal age on pregnancy outcomes are well known, particularly the association of advanced maternal age with poor ART results. Decreased ovarian reserve and decreased endometrial receptivity resulting from increased age are likely reasons for this observed reduction in fertility. AMH plays a role in regulating ovarian activity. Addi...

Objectives : To compare the effectiveness and outcomes of pregnancy accomplished by in vitro fertilization between micro-dose and standard flare-up, along with antagonist protocols in the treatment of poor responders using POSEIDON (Patient-Oriented Strategies Encompassing Individualized Oocyte Number) criteria for diagnosis. Materials and Methods:...

L-Carnitine (LC) plays important role in sperm metabolism, act as antioxidant and provides readily available energy for use by spermatozoa, which positively affects sperm motility, maturation and spermatogenic process. Glutathione (GSH) has several biological functions found widely in animal body, in somatic cells and also in gametes. It has an imp...

Background:Ovulation disorders, usually presents as menstrual disturbance, are the cause of infertility in around 25% of couples who have difficulty to conceive. The drug most commonly prescribed for the induction of ovulation is clomiphene citrate (CC). If the patient does not ovulate after the use of CC, the choice was to add gonadotropins. Gonad...

Treatment of infertility-related hormonal dysfunction in men requires an understanding of the hormonal basis of spermatogenesis. The best method for accurately determining male androgenization status remains elusive. This study is designed to study levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), Luteinizing hormone (LH), Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)...

Background Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is thyroid disorder affecting 4%-8% of reproductive age women.It may contribute to increased risk of infertility and adverse early and late pregnancy problems. Previous studies on effect of SCH on infertility treatment consequence, and pregnancy end result still controversial. The aim of this study is to...

Background: Treatment of infertility-related hormonal dysfunction in men requires an understanding of the hormonal basis of spermatogenesis. The best method for accurately determining male androgenization status remains elusive. Objective: This study is designed to evaluation the levels of serum and seminal plasma Inhibin B and FSH in relevance to...

Background: Sperm cells from asthenozoospermia have humble motility, Glutathione is added in the medium to increase sperm motility and improve morphologically normal sperm. Cryopreservation of human spermatozoa is one of the best active and acceptable methods to preserve male fertility. However, cryopreservation may lead to changes in sperm structu...
