Ultrasound evaluation of the cardiovascular system in offspring conceived through assisted reproductive technology
AbstractWith the widespread application of assisted reproductive technology, the health issues of offspring conceived through assisted reproductive technology have also received increasing attention. Animal experiments and clinical studies have found subclinical adverse changes in the cardiovascular system of assisted reproductive offspring. Assisted reproductive technology itself may be just one of the many factors contributing to this phenomenon, with epigenetics playing an important role. Ultrasound technology can be used to assess the morphological structure and function of the cardiovascular system in assisted reprodu...

A micro-fabricated device (microICSI) improves porcine blastocyst development and procedural efficiency for both porcine intracytoplasmic sperm injection and human microinjection
ConclusionThe microICSI device demonstrated significant developmental and procedural benefits for porcine ICSI. A pilot study suggests human ICSI should benefit equally. (Source: Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics)

Dynamic methylation pattern of H19DMR and KvDMR1 in bovine oocytes and preimplantation embryos
ConclusionWe highlighted the heterogeneity in the DNA methylation of H19DMR and KvDMR1 and a dynamic expression pattern of genes controlled by them. The expression ofDNMTs andTETs genes  was also dynamic owing to epigenetic reprogramming. (Source: Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics)

Mosaic embryo transfer versus additional IVF with PGT-A Cycle: a decision model comparing live birth rate and cost
ConclusionMosaic embryo transfers are a superior alternative to an additional cycle of IVF with PGT-A for patients older than 42 whose only remaining embryos are non-euploid. Mosaic embryo transfers also should be considered for patients younger than 42 who are unable to pursue additional autologous IVF cycles. Counseling and care should be personalized to individual patients and embryos. (Source: Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics)

Social media ’s impact on patient provider choice
ConclusionMost respondents utilize traditional methods when choosing their REI provider or clinic and would not utilize SM. However, SM, primarily through YouTube, may be helpful for educating infertility patients and providing support and stress relief while they undergo treatment.

Association between high-mobility group box 1 levels and preeclampsia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionBoth blood and placental HMGB1 levels in patients with PE were significantly elevated, and higher blood HMGB1 levels indicated a more serious disease condition, suggesting that higher levels of HMGB1 were associated with the risk of PE.

Similar pregnancy outcomes from fresh and frozen donor oocytes transferred to gestational carriers: a SART database analysis isolating the effects of oocyte vitrification
ConclusionsThe analysis of fresh and frozen donor oocytes in gestational carrier cycles provides the opportunity to assess for a possible effect of vitrification on the oocyte by controlling for differences in the uterine environment. We observed no significant differences in live birth, pregnancy loss, low birthweight or high birthweight infants when comparing fresh and frozen donor oocytes in gestational carrier cycles.
