A thorough search for relevant studies was conducted via PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and clinical.gov databases. Our primary outcome was the oocyte maturation rate (OMR), which measures the number of immature oocytes that progress to mature (MII) oocytes following IVM. Our secondary outcomes were the number of oocytes and embryo cryopreservation following IVM for future use. The initial search identified 150 studies. Eight studies were included in our review after duplication assessment, title and abstract screening, and subsequent complete text evaluation tailored to our inclusion criteria. A total of 1040 patients with cancer with a mean age of 32.68 years were included in our review, in which half of them were diagnosed with breast cancer (BC). Most of the cycles were unstimulated. Two studies compared IVM in either follicular or luteal phases, and one study compared the in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle with or without IVM. Our review included 7711 oocytes with 4604 oocytes that progressed to MII, obtaining an overall OMR of 59.70%. Following IVM, 335 embryos and 2380 oocytes were cryopreserved for future use. The oocyte numbers and maturation were comparable among all the studies, except that prognostic and predictor BC affects the IVM outcome. Our review concluded that IVM improves the number of MII following IVF cycles with similar survival rates, meiotic resumption rates, and blastocyst formation upon fertilization. Thus, IVM is a beneficial strategy for oncofertility patients.","PeriodicalId":425762,"journal":{"name":"The Onco Fertility Journal","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133056505","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}

Kaul","doi":"10.4103/tofj.tofj_7_22","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/tofj.tofj_7_22","url":null,"abstract":"COVID-19 caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to an unprecedented global health crisis. The virus entry into the host cell is facilitated by the coexpression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and TMPRSS2 receptors. The male genital system is vulnerable to infection because of the presence of ACE2 and TRMPSS2 on the spermatogonial and somatic cells. Testicular damage leading to the impairment of spermatogenesis and semen parameters has been documented, though the exact mechanism of testicular injury is not confirmed. Immune response to infection, dysfunction of the steroidogenic pathway, impairment of the blood–testes barrier, and fever per se are implicated. The alteration in semen parameters has been demonstrated with COVID-19 infection leading to reproductive compromise. The recovery of semen parameters occurs within 3 months of the infection. It is recommended to wait for 3 months after infection to start infertility treatment. The possibility of sexual transmission and vertical transmission remains a concern, even though the virus has not been detected in semen in most studies. Fertility preservation procedures (semen and testicular tissue cryopreservation) must not be deferred because of their time-sensitive nature. Safety protocols to prevent crosscontamination in cryostorage and to maintain the safety of laboratory personnel should be strictly adhered to. ESHRE and ASRM recommend screening patients before initiating fertility preservation procedures. Testing semen samples for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR has also been advocated to improve safety. Long-term follow-up should be considered in men and young boys exposed to infection and in children conceived during the infection. Vaccination for COVID-19 should be promoted as it does not compromise male fertility.","PeriodicalId":425762,"journal":{"name":"The Onco Fertility Journal","volume":"163 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121743673","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}

Aims: The aim of this study was to determine if incrementing progesterone supplementation based on the levels of serum progesterone(P) measured on the day of embryo transfer (ET) has an impact on the pregnancy outcome in fresh and frozen ET cycles. Settings and Design: A total of 220 women undergoing fresh and frozen ET were prospectively enrolled and received standard luteal phase support, an increment in P supplementation made if serum P levels were less than 15 ng/mL. Materials and Methods: Serum progesterone levels were assessed for all the patients on the day of ET. Patients undergoing fresh and frozen ETs were divided into two groups based on serum progesterone levels on the day of ET. If serum progesterone levels were found to be less than 15 ng/mL on the day of ET, the dose of progesterone supplementation was incremented. A correlation between the groups with serum progesterone less than and more than 15 ng/mL on the day of ET with the pregnancy outcome was then made. Results: No statistically significant difference was observed in the clinical pregnancy rate and biochemical pregnancies in the groups with serum progesterone levels less than or more than 15 ng/mL on the day of ET when an increment in the progesterone supplementation was performed (both fresh, P = 0.35 and frozen cycles, P = 0.056). Statistical Analysis Used: Chi-square test was used for qualitative analysis, and the Student’s t test was used for comparison of means. Conclusions: Measuring serum progesterone levels on the day of ET and incrementing P supplementation if serum levels of progesterone are less than 15 ng/mL to obtain optimal progesterone levels during the WOI in both fresh and frozen ET cycles might help in improving our pregnancy outcomes.","PeriodicalId":425762,"journal":{"name":"The Onco Fertility Journal","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116682768","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}

Among the various reasons, total fertilization failure attributed to oocyte activation deficiency (OAD) is a recognized cause. The application of assisted oocyte activation (AOA) during ICSI has been reported to overcome this issue and improve outcomes. The objective of this review article is to provide an overview of the currently available data regarding oocyte activation, identify areas for further research, and draw conclusions. Many diagnostic methods are developed to diagnose OAD, and thus, it helps to streamline its application. Similarly, many methods of activation are studied, but there is no proposed standardization in techniques, which indicates this area of expertise needs more research for broad application. Hence, AOA cannot be universally applied, as it is not beneficial in all cases of suspected OAD, which eventually points to the need that consensus guidance in clinical practice for the use of AOA should be available to guide clinicians. Importantly, a couple should be well informed about the advantages and risks associated with AOA-ICSI before application.","PeriodicalId":425762,"journal":{"name":"The Onco Fertility Journal","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116981145","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}
