Diagnostic or prognostic? Decoding the role of embryo selection on in vitro fertilization treatment outcomes
In this review, we take a fresh look at embryo assessment and selection methods from the perspective of diagnosis and prognosis. On the basis of a systematic search in the literature, we examined the evidence on the prognostic value of different embryo assessment methods, including morphological assessment, blastocyst culture, time-lapse imaging, artificial intelligence, and preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy.

Fertility preservation counseling: Old indications, novel perspectives
Fertility preservation (FP) for cancer has existed for 3 decades. The advent of highly-effective oocyte cryopreservation by vitrification has paved the way for social FP. The options are discussed. (Source: Fertility and Sterility)

Based on a systematic search in the literature, we examine the evidence on the prognostic value of different embryo assessment methods, including morphological assessment, blastocyst culture, timelapse imaging (TLI), artificial intelligence (AI) and pre-implantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A).

Is everything going to be okay? Enhancing guidance beyond a positive pregnancy test after embryo transfer: toward comprehensive fertility care
In the field of reproductive medicine, William Osler's observation that medicine is a science of uncertainty and an art of probability is particularly applicable. In their daily practice, specialists in reproductive endocrinology and infertility frequently encounter individuals seeking both therapeutic interventions and insights into their probability of treatment success. The decision-making process for couples relies on their understanding of success probabilities, influencing choices, such as whether to undergo specific treatments, multiple interventions, or even pursue adoption.

Transvaginal ultrasound: a reliable tool for detection and preoperative mapping of pelvic endometriosis
Traditionally, the evaluation of pelvic endometriosis has been reliant on visualization of the disease using laparoscopy, with or without histopathologic confirmation. However, in the last decade, rapid technological and interpreter expertise has catapulted imaging tools to the forefront for noninvasive detection and assessment of the anatomic extent of endometriosis. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) of the pelvis and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a dedicated endometriosis protocol are two such imaging tools that have been used widely, with increased accuracy when performed or interpreted by experienced female...
