Article Abstract
Components of blood products from Blood bank, stem cells products from Haemotapoietic Stem Cell Transplant unit, CSSD (Central Sterile Supply Department) items, and pharrrmaceutical products, were sterility tested by liquid culture. 2.91% of the total 3122 samples sent for sterility testing from various departments were positive (i.e. showing contamination). CSSD products showed no contamination (0/37); products from blood bank and bone marrow transplant unit showed a contamination rate of 2.03% (47/2307) and 4.64% (31/667) respectively. The average cost of sterility test was Rs. 302 (INR). Sterility test requires stringent aseptic precautions which is resource intensive.

Mental Health Across the Conception Journey: Trying To Conceive Without Treatment, Considering Treatment, and with Treatment.
Matern Child Health J
September 2025
Maven Clinic, New York, NY, USA.
Background: While it is well established that trying to conceive while experiencing infertility and undergoing fertility treatment is associated with anxiety, little is known about the mental health toll of trying to conceive without fertility treatment. Minimal contact with the healthcare system while trying to conceive without treatment contributes to low rates of detection and support for this population.
Objective: This research aims to provide formative insights into the prevalence of mental health distress and desire for emotional support among people who are trying to conceive without treatment, and how this compares to people who are considering or using fertility treatment.
Serum progesterone variability on embryo transfer day in hormone replacement therapy cycles using intramuscular injections during frozen embryo transfers.

Bahçeci Fulya IVF Center, Infertility Clinic, Istanbul, Turkey.
Purpose: To assess the intra-individual variability of serum progesterone (P) levels on embryo transfer (ET) day, when the same dose of intramuscular progesterone (IM-P) was used in two consecutive hormone replacement therapy (HRT) frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles.
Methods: A total of 75 patients undergoing two consecutive HRT-FET cycles in one year performed at Bahceci Ankara IVF Center between November 2019 and February 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Serum P levels were measured at the 117th-119th hours of support by a single laboratory.
Novel Candidate Genes Identified in Men with Congenital Absence of Vas Deferens without CFTR Gene Abnormalities.

Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), Ghaziabad, India.
The genetic etiology is unknown for 30-40% of men with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) and 70% of those with congenital unilateral absence of the vas deferens (CUAVD). The study aimed to investigate the genetic etiology of CBAVD/CUAVD, both with and without renal anomalies, in individuals who are negative for CFTR pathogenic variants. We included 19 cases of congenital absence of vas deferens (CAVD) that were negative for CFTR variants on Sanger sequencing.

Inter-laboratory replicability is crucial yet challenging in microbiome research. Leveraging microbiomes to promote soil health and plant growth requires understanding underlying molecular mechanisms using reproducible experimental systems. In a global collaborative effort involving five laboratories, we aimed to help advance reproducibility in microbiome studies by testing our ability to replicate synthetic community assembly experiments.

Background: Varicocele is a common, correctable cause of male infertility, often associated with impaired spermatogenesis. Microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy is considered the gold standard for varicocele repair, with documented benefits on semen quality, particularly sperm count.
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of microsurgical varicocelectomy on sperm count in infertile men diagnosed with clinical varicocele.
