Summary: The study evaluated a minimally invasive laparotomic intrauterine insemination approach as an alternative to laparoscopy in sheep breeding. Results show that the operation time and success rates are similar to traditional laparoscopic methods, and the approach is effective for both adult and lamb ewes.

Summary: The study found that at-home semen collection does not negatively impact IUI pregnancy outcomes, and under appropriate protocols, it is considered a safe alternative. However, further research is needed to optimize these protocols.

Summary: The study analyzed 3,015 AIH cycles in infertile Chinese couples to identify independent prognostic factors for successful pregnancy. Factors such as treatment options, female age, and sperm parameters like straight-line velocity and normal form rate were found to predict successful pregnancy following AIH. A multivariate logistic regression equation was developed to improve prognostic classification compared to individual predictors.

Summary: Does a shorter interval between semen collection and IUI increase the chance of ongoing pregnancy? A long interval resulted in a significant improvement in cumulative ongoing pregnancies and a shorter time to pregnancy.

Summary: Sperm parameters did not significantly affect pregnancy outcomes in IUI cycles, with only female and male ages showing a significant association. Short time intervals between semen production, analysis, and IUI significantly influenced clinical pregnancies and live births after adjusting for age.

Summary: In a retrospective study, variables associated with successful intrauterine insemination (IUI) and the probability of pregnancy were identified. This information is useful in determining the chances of pregnancy through IUI for couples.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of intracervical insemination (ICI) and intrauterine insemination (IUI) with cryopreserved donor sperm in the natural cycle, and found that IUI had a higher live birth rate than ICI.

Summary: Recommendations for thawing methods of frozen bovine semen vary, and clear data evaluating their influence on fertility are contradictory. This study aimed to investigate the influence of different thawing methods of frozen bull semen in artificial insemination (AI) of dairy cows on conception rate (CR) under practical conditions and to determine further possible influencing factors on the success of AI in order to provide recommendations for practical use. The results showed no significant difference in CR between the thawing methods, but lactation number, month of insemination, and AI method were found to have effects on CR. Based on the data, no clear recommendation for semen thawing method in dairy reproduction can be made. The study suggests that the reproductive performance of dairy cows is mainly influenced by factors such as natural heat insemination, lactation number, and season of insemination, highlighting the importance of focusing on cow conditions.

Summary: This study evaluated the use of intrauterine artificial insemination (IUAI) in gilts and the factors affecting cannula insertion success. Heavier, older, and better body condition gilts had a greater success rate for cannula insertion. However, IUAI did not improve insemination procedure efficiency and was limited by low success rates for cannula insertion in gilts. Reproductive performance was not impacted by IUAI or cervical artificial insemination (CAI) using different semen dose sizes.

Summary: The study suggests that in women undergoing gonadotropin stimulation/intrauterine insemination, serum antimilllerian hormone (AMH) levels are associated with the probability of achieving a clinical pregnancy and may have a negative impact on the risk of spontaneous abortion.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of ejaculatory abstinence period on sperm DNA fragmentation and pregnancy rates in IUI cycles. The results showed that there was no significant difference in pregnancy rates among couples with unexplained infertility undergoing ovarian stimulation and IUI, regardless of whether the abstinence period was 1 day or 3 days.

Summary: In this study, a fully-automated platform using a spiral inertial microfluidic device for standardized semen preparation is proposed. The platform can process patient-derived semen samples with diverse fluidic conditions without any pre-washing steps. The developed separation platform showed excellent performance in isolating sperm cells from non-sperm seminal cells and achieving highly purified and concentrated sperm cells in a rapid and fully-automated manner.

Summary: The objective of this study was to assess the influence of the test-to-delivery interval on the performance of ultrasound and MRI in predicting birthweight. The results showed that MRI performed best in predicting birthweight greater than gestational age if delivery occurred within two weeks of the examination, with a slight decrease thereafter, while ultrasound performance decreased drastically over time.

Summary: This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate whether induction of labor is associated with a lower risk of cesarean section in patients with isolated polyhydramnios. The study found that planned induction was associated with a lower rate of cesarean delivery compared to expectant management, but the difference was not statistically significant. Additionally, no differences were observed in maternal or fetal secondary outcomes.

Summary: This systematic review examined the comorbidity of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and their impact on metabolism, hormone levels, and reproduction. The findings showed a high prevalence of comorbidity between the two conditions, which may have significant clinical implications for patient management.
