A better understanding of the mechanisms responsible for implantation may improve our ability to treat RIF and improve IVF results in general. This issue’s Views and Reviews aims to summarize the current knowledge on mechanisms involved in recurrent implantation failure and presents a clinical approach and potential treatments to overcome the problem.Source:http://www.fertstert.org/current.rss
Chromosomal abnormalities, sperm DNA damage, zona hardening, inadequate culture conditions, and suboptimal embryo development all play a significant role in the etiology of recurrent implantation failure. Evidence suggests that preimplantation genetic screening does not increase implantation or live birth rates. Comparative genomic hybridization array and analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms could enable a more comprehensive [...]
The endometrium is one of the most fascinating tissues in the human body. Its sole purpose is to enable implantation of an embryo during a relatively short window of opportunity in the menstrual cycle. It is becoming clear that overcoming the current bottleneck in improvements to assisted reproductive techniques will require a closer look at [...]
IVF failure is a problem for a couple in the singular but can be a tragedy in the plural. Recurrent IVF failure has multiple known causes but many which are not routinely considered as part of the posttreatment analysis. The reason is there are several causes associated with lifestyle and other causes related to pre-existing [...]
Successful embryo implantation depends on a well-functioning endometrium as well as a normal healthy embryo. This process might be hampered if either of these variables is defective. Repeated implantation failure (RIF) is diagnosed when good-quality embryos repeatedly fail to implant after transfer in several IVF treatment cycles. The causes of RIF originate with either the [...]

Treatment results were compared to spinal cord injured (SCI) patients treated similarly.Design: Retrospective clinical study.Setting: Academic tertiary referral fertility center.Patient(s): Couples with isolated psychogenic anejaculation or SCI.Intervention(s): Electroejaculation and ICSI.Main Outcome Measure(s): Semen [...]
Objective: To investigate the potential use of correlative microarray-based transcript pairs as candidate markers for male fertility using dysplasia of the fibrous sheath (DFS) as an affected model. It is widely recognized that microarray technology may be limited by cost and that the quality of the transcript remains relatively unknown. To address these issues, we [...]
