Summary: This study demonstrates that different post-thaw embryo culture timings do not negatively affect pregnancy outcomes. These findings are important in organizing the workflow in embryological laboratories.

Summary: This study compared the metabolic differences between children conceived by assisted reproductive technologies (ART) and non-in vitro fertilization fertility treatments (NIFT) and children conceived spontaneously. The results showed that there were no metabolic differences between NIFT-conceived children and spontaneously conceived children, but there were small metabolic differences between ART-conceived children and spontaneously conceived children.

Summary: Selection of high-quality sperm is crucial for assisted reproduction. This article introduces a scalable technology called 'sperm syringe' that mimics the 3D selection process in vivo to select high-quality sperm. Experimental results show that the sperm syringe significantly improves selected sperm morphology and DNA integrity, making it a promising assisted reproductive technology.

Summary: This study explores the experiences of 40 women in Ghana who have successfully given birth through the use of assisted reproductive technologies. The findings reveal that childless women face hostility but having a child brings social recognition and transition to motherhood is characterized by excitement, high self-esteem, and acceptance into spouses' families.

Summary: This article summarizes the impact of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 on human fertility and assisted reproduction, as well as the influence of vaccination. It provides answers to relevant questions for individuals considering pregnancy and healthcare professionals. The findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 can affect spermatogenesis and menstrual patterns, but has minimal impact on ovarian function and embryo development. COVID-19 infection and vaccination do not negatively affect reproductive outcomes.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection (IMSI) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures, and found that ICSI had statistically better results in terms of chemical pregnancy, clinical pregnancy, live birth, and fertilization rates compared to IMSI. Although there were no significant differences in miscarriage rates, ICSI showed significant advantages in certain subgroups regarding chemical and clinical pregnancy rates.

Summary: The aim of this study was to identify gaps in research pertaining to inequities in medically assisted reproduction (MAR) and propose suggestions for future research directions. The study found that historically marginalized populations and LGBTQ+ populations had poorer outcomes and were less likely to use MAR or seek infertility care. Income and education showed positive correlations with MAR use. Men and people from rural/under-resourced populations were less likely to access MAR.

Summary: Women with asthma have comparable chances of giving birth compared to women without asthma, but they have a higher risk of infertility, pregnancy loss, and the need for medically assisted reproduction.

Summary: This study developed models to predict the probability of live birth in individuals considering in vitro fertilization based on demographic and reproductive characteristics. Female age showed the strongest association with live birth rate, while other factors such as lower body mass index and parity or gravidity >1 were also associated with higher live birth rates. Infertility diagnoses of diminished ovarian reserve, uterine factor, and other reasons were associated with a lower live birth rate, while male factor, tubal factor, ovulatory disorders, and unexplained infertility were associated with a higher live birth rate.

Summary: This study found that fathers with a history of cancer, particularly those with testicular, prostate, and hematological and lymphatic malignancies, were more likely to use assisted reproduction to achieve paternity. These findings highlight the importance of fertility care for male cancer survivors.

Summary: Despite low success rates, ART continues to be presented as an effective treatment for infertility. This paper critically examines how social and cultural narratives influence women's decisions to discontinue ART, highlighting struggles such as desperation to conceive, confronting medical expectations, and internalizing blame for treatment failures. The analysis shows how women navigate and resist these narratives, suggesting the importance of improved communication and support in the discontinuation process.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between paternal race and reproductive outcomes following in vitro fertilization (IVF). The results showed that although paternal race was associated with IVF cycle characteristics, it did not independently contribute to outcomes after controlling for potential confounders.

Summary: Infertility is a unique social burden that affects over 15% of couples, posing a threat to their overall quality of life and sexual health. The medicalization of infertility treatment presents challenges in terms of personal and couple involvement, particularly in the psychological impact on the couple's quality of life and sexuality. The use of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) has helped many infertile couples achieve pregnancy, but it can also lead to strong psychological stress that affects the couple's relationship and sexual health.

Summary: The study found no direct association between female infertility and developing MS, but the prevalence of MS was slightly higher among women undergoing MAR treatment. Infertile women may undergo MAR treatment more often due to increased awareness about the possibility of treatment, sexual dysfunction related to MS, and the need to avoid long periods without disease modifying therapy.
