Summary: This article summarizes the changes and influencing factors of thyroid function in multiple pregnancies. Through systematic searching and screening, a total of 12 relevant studies were included. The results show that thyroid function in multiple pregnancies differs from that in single pregnancies, mainly in the early stages of pregnancy. Separate reference ranges are needed to accurately diagnose thyroid diseases in multiple pregnancies.

Summary: Women with multiple pregnancies may be at risk of vitamin D and iron deficiencies, while evidence for deficiencies in other microelements is inconsistent, scarce, or absent. Further in-depth prospective and population studies are necessary to determine if nutritional recommendations for pregnant women need adjustments in cases of multiple gestations.

Summary: Pregnancy has an effect on the clinical course and treatment of non-infectious uveitis, with disease activity and severity being higher in women with active or non-controlled uveitis prior to pregnancy. The first pregnancy behaves differently from subsequent pregnancies in terms of disease severity.

Summary: Ultrasound characteristics during the first trimester of Girolando female bovine IVF gestations were compared, and it was found that monitoring the embryonic vesicle, crown rump length (CRL), and fetal heart rate (FHR) at days 31, 37, and 55 could predict an increased risk of pregnancy loss.

Summary: The study suggests that pregnancies after medically assisted reproduction are not significantly affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to spontaneous pregnancies. Information on the effects of COVID-19 on pregnancy after medically assisted reproduction is vital for women seeking pregnancy and further research is needed in this area.

Summary: The study found a low dropout rate between the first and second IVF cycles in the controlled population from New Zealand, with 10% of couples discontinuing treatment due to stress. The cumulative live birth rate in this low dropout population was 59% at the end of treatment, varying based on female age.

Summary: This retrospective study investigated the association between the number of retrieved oocytes and the numbers of fertilized oocytes and blastocysts, as well as the cumulative and primary transfer live birth rates (LBRs). The results showed a strong positive correlation between oocytes and fertilized oocytes, as well as between oocytes and blastocysts. The cumulative LBR increased rapidly with the number of oocytes retrieved until reaching a peak at around 16-20 oocytes, after which it gradually declined. The primary transfer LBR also increased with the number of oocytes but plateaued at around 16-20 oocytes.

Summary: This study aimed to identify early and reliable predictors of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Significant baseline and 12-week predictors were found, with early gestational weight gain in IVF-conceived pregnancies being the best predictor of GDM onset.

Summary: The literature regarding the association between the number of oocytes retrieved and the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) is conflicting. Some studies suggest a continuous increase in CLBR with more oocytes retrieved, while others find a plateau. The association between oocyte number and CLBR varies according to patients' age.

Summary: The study found that middle-aged women (35-40 years old) can benefit from repeat IVF treatments with a high success rate, while patients over 40 years old have a sharp decline in success rate.

Summary: This study examined the concentrations of scavenger proteins in the plasma of pregnant women and fetuses with and without corpus luteum in preeclampsia. The results showed that maternal haemopexin levels were higher in IVF pregnancies with corpus luteum and lower in IVF pregnancies without corpus luteum compared to naturally conceived pregnancies. Maternal alpha(1)-microglobulin levels were higher in severe cases of preeclampsia without corpus luteum compared to naturally conceived pregnancies and IVF pregnancies with corpus luteum. In cord blood, haemopexin levels were higher in IVF pregnancies with corpus luteum compared to naturally conceived pregnancies in preeclampsia and alpha(1)-microglobulin levels were higher in IVF pregnancies without corpus luteum compared to IVF pregnancies with corpus luteum in the normotensive population.

Summary: This study suggests that GDM screening in IVF pregnancies should be considered before the 24th week, as these pregnancies are prone to increased maternal and fetal complications associated with 1-hour postprandial blood glucose levels.

Summary: The follicular output rate (FORT) has significant effects on the cumulative clinical pregnancy rate (CCPR) and cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. A higher FORT is beneficial for achieving better pregnancy outcomes, especially for patients with polycystic ovarian morphology, ovulation disorder, or hyperandrogenic manifestations.

Summary: COVID-19 vaccination has potential effects on reproductive health in women undergoing assisted reproductive techniques. A study on 536 women undergoing IVF/ICSI treatment in China showed that COVID-19 vaccination may impair oocyte maturation, fertilization rate, and other reproductive outcomes. A systematic review of existing studies found that mRNA vaccines have no adverse effects on reproductive outcomes, while inactivated vaccines may affect oocyte maturation and fertilization rate.

Summary: This study revealed a significant lack of awareness among young adults in the UK regarding the potential impacts of gym lifestyles and supplementation on male infertility. Men were found to have a concerning lack of concern for their own fertility, with differences in awareness levels between men and women. It was also observed that men were more likely to consider making changes to their behavior if it had a long-term impact on their fertility compared to short-term effects.

Summary: Using a machine-learning model to determine the optimal trigger days can improve the outcomes of antagonist protocol cycles in freeze-all or fresh transfer cycles, for all age groups. Implementing these models can more accurately predict the number of retrieved oocytes, optimizing physicians' decisions, balancing workloads, and creating more standardized yet patient-specific protocols.

Summary: This study investigates the proteomic and phosphoproteomic differences in the endometrium of women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) compared to healthy control women during different phases of the menstrual cycle. The results identify differentially expressed proteins and phosphorylated proteins, and highlight the insulin/cyclic nucleotide signalling pathway and AMPK/mTOR signalling pathway as major contributors to the abnormality of RPL endometrium. The findings provide insights into potential proteins associated with the pathogenesis of RPL and contribute to the identification of potential targets for RPL treatment.

Summary: The study found no significant differences in clinical outcomes between using oocytes obtained from random-start protocols and those from conventional ovarian stimulation in oocyte donation treatments. Luteal-phase stimulation required longer stimulation and higher FSH consumption.
