We did not restrict the literature search by year of publication, and we only included manuscripts that looked at the impact of vaginal lubricants on human sperm. The quality of the eligible studies was assessed using the Björndahl et al., (2016) checklist for semen analysis, as most of the studies reported the findings of a basic semen analysis. A total of 24 articles were eligible for analysis with a total of 35 vaginal lubricants (that were available to buy over the counter) being included, 2 of which studied the effect of vaginal lubricants on sperm function in vivo, and 22 being conducted in vitro. KY Jelly, PreSeed and Astroglide were most studied, with most manuscripts focussing on their impact on sperm motility. A paucity of data on most lubricants combined with methodological variations between studies and limited/no reporting on pregnancy outcomes means greater efforts are required before an evidence-based guideline can be published.","PeriodicalId":13006,"journal":{"name":"Human Fertility","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138477579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although venous thromboembolism (VTE) is not thought to be a common complication of MAR, it is associated with high morbidity and is often preventable. Since VTE usually occurs after completion of MAR treatment and is often managed outside of the treating fertility unit, these complications are likely to be underreported and there may be limited awareness of the risks among clinicians. As we continue to see a rise in the total number of MAR treatment cycles, particularly in women over 40 years of age, along with a steady increase in the number of fertility preservation cycles for both medical and social indications, it is likely that we will see an increase in absolute numbers of VTE complications. Currently, there is a lack of management guidance and reporting of VTE events associated with assisted conception treatment. The aim of this guidance is to provide clinicians with information on VTE risk factors, guidance on assessing VTE risk and the best practice recommendations on risk reducing strategies for individuals at risk of VTE undergoing ovarian stimulation and embryo transfer cycles.","PeriodicalId":13006,"journal":{"name":"Human Fertility","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141158274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prospective longitudinal Swedish Study on Gamete Donation consists of couples recruited when starting treatment between 2005 and 2008 from seven Swedish university hospitals providing gamete donation. This study concerns the fifth wave of data collection and included a total of 205 mothers and fathers with adolescent children following OD (n = 73), SD (n = 67), or IVF with own gametes (n = 65). OD/SD parents had used identity-release donation and most had disclosed the donor conception to their child. Parents answered validated instruments measuring symptoms of anxiety and depression (HADS), family functioning (GF6+) and parent-child relationship. Results found that parents following OD or SD did not differ significantly from IVF-parents with regard to symptoms of anxiety and depression, family functioning, and perceived closeness and conflicts with their child. Irrespective of treatment group, most parents were within normal range on psychological distress and family functioning and reported positive parent-child relationships. However, SD mothers to a larger extent reported anxiety symptoms above cut-off compared to OD mothers (31% vs. 7.3%, p = 0.018). In conclusion, the present results add to previous research by including families with adolescent children following identity-release oocyte and sperm donation, most of whom were aware of their donor conception. Largely, our results confirm that the use of gamete donation does not interfere negatively with mothers' and fathers' psychological well-being and perceived family functioning.","PeriodicalId":13006,"journal":{"name":"Human Fertility","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141579548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rate of foetal macrosomia was higher among infants in the paternal overweight (12.36%) category, while lower among infants in the paternal underweight categories (2.33%). The incidence of macrosomia in the paternal overweight categories (aOR 1.527, 95% CI 1.078-2.163) was significantly higher than those normal controls after adjustment for known confounding factors. The rates of LGA babies were higher in the paternal overweight category (aOR 1.260, 95% CI 1.001-1.587) compared with those in the paternal normal weight category, before and after adjustment.

Six focus groups were undertaken with twenty seven, 18-25 year olds. Five questions were asked: 1. What are your thoughts, feelings, and reactions to the poster? 2. Did you learn anything from the poster? 3. How has reading the poster impacted your opinions or thoughts about having children? 4. What are your opinions about using a poster format to inform and start reflections regarding family building? 5. Reading through each point are there any changes to be made? Content analysis was performed. Themes identified revealed the information on the poster gave the participants some anxiety and apprehension, especially regarding the effect of age on fertility, perceptions of IVF, and gaps in knowledge.

Serum kisspeptin, known for its critical role in reproductive biology, has emerged as a potential biomarker for miscarriage. With this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to assess the association between serum kisspeptin levels and the miscarriage risk. We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases for studies published up to February 2024, examining the association between serum kisspeptin levels and miscarriage. Eligible studies were observational designs that reported kisspeptin levels in women with and without miscarriage. We included 12 studies involving 2,050 participants. Pooled analysis demonstrated that low serum kisspeptin levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of miscarriage (standardized mean difference = -2.750; 95%CI: -4.357 to -1.143), with substantial heterogeneity (I2 = 98.7%). The pooled area under the curve from three studies indicated high diagnostic accuracy (AUC = 0.903; 95%CI: 0.860-0.946). Low serum kisspeptin levels are significantly associated with an increased miscarriage risk, suggesting that kisspeptin could serve as an effective biomarker for early detection.
