Method: Systematic review in SciELO, and LILACS databases, from January 2010 to May 2021, using the descriptors (“Abortion, Induced” [Mesh]) AND “Religion” [Mesh]. Two authors separately evaluated the articles, selecting those that met the eligibility criteria. Disagreements were submitted to the opinion of the third author. 270 articles were identified and 31 articles were selected for qualitative metasynthesis. Study exempted from submission to the Ethics and Research Committee. Results: 23 articles (74.2%) used quantitative designs, six (19.3%) qualitative methods, one (3.2%) case report, and one (3.2%) intervention design. Students and resident physicians were approached in 15 articles (48.4%), physicians in 14 (45.1%), midwives in four (12.9%), and nurses in two (6.5%). In all articles analyzed, the strongest link with religious beliefs showed influence in positions and practices that oppose or restrict induced abortion. Conclusion: Conservative and fundamentalist religious positions on induced abortion persist, which negatively influence students and health professionals, hampering women’s human rights and reproductive rights.","PeriodicalId":179585,"journal":{"name":"Human Reproduction Archives","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133974513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most studies focus on evaluating CNVs only in products of conception. The aim of this systematic review was to highlight the importance of investigating CNVs in couples with a history of recurrent miscarriage as well as their role in pregnancy, filling part of the gap between studies of recurrent miscarriage. Methods : A search in PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), and Portal de CAPES/MEC databases for relevant published articles was conducted using the following controlled search terms: “copy number variation”, “cnv”, “miscarriage”, “recurrent miscarriage”, “spontaneous abortion”, “loss pregnancy”, “couple”, “microarray analysis”, “comparative genomic array”, and “array CGH”. The Boolean operators AND and OR were used. The search captured studies published up to October 2020. Results : A total of five studies were extracted for the present analysis. Sixteen CNVs involving the PDZD2, GOLPH3, TIMP2, CTNNA3, STS, EGFL6, STX6, CETN2, CTDSPL, GSTT1, HLA, MSR1, NIPA1, NIPA2, CYFIP1 and TUBGCP5 genes on ten different chromosomes were considered at potential risk for pregnancy maintenance.

The excess of iron accumulates in several organs, leading to organ dysfunction. Therefore, the excess of iron deposition might create an endocrine impairment, and can further lead to hypogonadism and, rarely, to amenorrhea. In this study, we aim to report a rare cause of HH and primary amenorrhea, with the help of clinical investigations. case Description: This study is based on a single patient who was diagnosed with amenorrhea. The patient had a previous history of HH, type I diabetes mellitus, and chronic liver disease. The physical and hormonal investigations were normal, and her karyotype was 46 XX. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a diffuse reduction of the pituitary tissue signal, which might resemble HH. Discussion: The diagnosis of HH is based on a biochemical and genetic evaluation. The treatment includes regular phlebotomies and the control of comorbidities. In most of the cases, the hypogonadotropic hypogonadism leads to amenorrhea due to a pituitary impairment. However, a rare appearance of amenorrhea without hypogonadism may also be possible. Hence, the investigation of HH should be suggested incases of primary amenorrhea. The early diagnosis of HH is crucial to prevent the morbidity and mortality in patients with these clinical features.","PeriodicalId":179585,"journal":{"name":"Human Reproduction Archives","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126613196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Metaphases were analyzed by GTG banding obtained from the culture of lymphocytes of 33 men with idiopathic infertility. Results: The patients’ ages ranged from 24-59 years and they had been attempting to conceive for an average of 5 (± 4,59) years. In 4 cases (12%) have been Klinefelter syndrome (KS) karyotype 47,XXY, was observed in three of these subjects and the fourth showed mosaicism 47,XXY[9]/46,XY[2]. The remaining 29/33 had normal karyotype. Conclusions: KS affects approximately 5 to 10% of infertile men, according to the literature. In this study, 12% of subjects were observed to have chromosomal abnormalities and sex chromosome aneuploidies were the only abnormality to be observed in the samples. Genetic testing can help identify which patients would benefit from technical reproduction. As well as contributing to unraveling the etiology of male infertility in patients treated at LabRep-HC-UFG, this study is relevant because assisted reproduction techniques ignore the process of natural selection and some classic chromosomal abnormalities or deleterious mutations could be inherited. Thus, counseling based on genetic assessments may prevent the inheritance of primary and secondary congenital defects in was slightly higher (5%). In our study, no individuals in the oligozoospermic group were found to have KS. All four KS cases were in the azoospermic group, which corresponds to 25% (4/16) of the azoospermic men.

Methods: Search for scientific articles in the databases: Lilacs, SciELO, Medline, Pubmed, Elsevier and Virtual Health Library, from 2001 to 2017, as well as bibliographies present at Potiguar University. Results: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a hormonal disorder that affects a large part of the female population of reproductive age. The main cause of this disorder is hyperandrogenism, which together with oligoanovulation adds more characteristic factors for the diagnosis of this pathology. Hyperandrogenism is characterized by an excessive production of androgen hormones, with this production being discerned by a marked synthesis of testosterone, which is stimulated by the luteinizing hormone and intensified by insulin or by the intrinsic elevation of the secretion of these androgens. Although this pathology is recognized mainly by androgenic elevation, its hormonal action is still unknown. However, studies indicate that the high catabolism of cortisol and the intense response of adrenal androgens to normal adrenocorticotrophic hormone levels are related. Assisted human reproduction (AHR) has been an option to treat infertility due to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS); however it presents, mixed results. Due to the importance of this subject and the absence of recent articles relevant to the topic, the aim of this article was to review the published data on the PCOS associated with infertility. conclusions: In vitro fertilization is an option to achieve pregnancy in women refractory to treatment with ovulation stimulants.
