Reproductive Outcomes of Transferring Blastocysts Derived From Frozen-Thawed Cleavage Embryos: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: In in vitro fertilization (IVF), transferring frozen-thawed blastocysts is a widely adopted practice. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the reproductive outcomes of transferring blastocysts derived from frozen-thawed cleavage embryos (FT-CDB group) compared to direct frozen-thawed blastocyst (DFB group) transfers.

Methods: We searched the following electronic databases for relevant studies: PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, and Web of Science.

Pregnancy Outcomes of Frozen-Thawed Blastocysts versus Blastocysts Derived from Frozen-Thawed Cleavage Embryos: A Retrospective Study.

Background: Limited data exist regarding the outcomes of frozen-thawed cleavage-stage embryos that undergo extended culture to reach the blastocyst stage. This study aimed to compare the pregnancy outcomes between two approaches: transferring blastocysts derived from frozen-thawed cleavage embryos (D3-5 group) and frozen-thawed blastocysts (D5 group).

Materials And Methods: This retrospective observational cohort analysis was conducted at Hung Vuong Hospital (CS/HV/24/23) from January 2022 to December 2023.

The influence of attributes on community preferences regarding antibiotic treatment: evidence from a discrete choice model.

Antibiotic resistance (AR) rates in Vietnam are among the highest in Asia, and recent infections due to multi-drug resistance in the country have caused thousands of deaths each year. This study investigated a Vietnamese community's preferences for antibiotic treatment and its knowledge and attitudes regarding antibiotics. A discrete choice experiment-based survey was developed and administered to the population of interest.

Zona pellucida removal resulted in a successful live birth: Report on a case with recurrent implantation failure due to embryonic bacteria contamination.

Key Clinical Message: In in vitro fertilization (IVF), laser offers several advantages. In this study, we employed laser to eliminate the zona pellucida of a contaminated embryo. This approach helps to rescue embryo with bacterial contamination, and improve embryo-endometrium interaction.

Assessing the Impact of Genratest on Women With Recurrent Implantation Failure: A Single-Center Study.

Objective Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a significant challenge in assisted reproduction. Genratest has emerged as a potential tool to identify the displaced window of implantation (WOI). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of this test on the pregnancy outcomes of RIF patients.

Effect of Blood Gel Derivatives on Wound Healing in Mouse Injured Tissue Models.

Several previous studies in the field of assisted reproduction have focused on the use of blood gel derivatives, such as platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), as a treatment for endometrial rehabilitation. However, the ability to release growth factors and the gel form of this product led to the evolution of platelet lysates. In this study, blood gel derivatives, including PRF lysate, which was in liquid form, and PRF gel, were collected and evaluated for growth factors.

Prevention and Management of Iron Deficiency/Iron-Deficiency Anemia in Women: An Asian Expert Consensus.

The lack of standardized clinical practice impeding the optimal management of iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in women is a global concern, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. The aim of this study was to determine best practices through a Delphi consensus process. In Round 1, panelists were asked to rate their level of agreement with 99 statements across four domains: identification, diagnosis and assessment, prevention, and treatment of ID/IDA in women.
