Pain Management during Ultrasound Guided Transvaginal Oocyte Retrieval – A Narrative Review by Puvithra Thanikachalam, Dilip Kumar Govindan

“…According to this review, conscious sedation appears to be the most preferred mode of anaesthesia in women undergoing TVOR owing to fewer adverse effects, faster recovery, better patient and specialist comfort and the least effect on oocyte quality and embryo development. Combining it with paracervical block resulted in lesser consumption of the anaesthetic drug, which may have a beneficial effect on the oocyte quality.…”

Nuclear Reprogramming in Mouse Primordial Germ Cells: Epigenetic Contribution by Massimo De Felici

“…Recent studies have shown that genome-wide epigenetic modifications, referred to as “epigenetic reprogramming”, occur during the development of the gamete precursors termed primordial germ cells (PGCs) in the embryo. This reprogramming is likely to be critical for the germ line development itself and necessary to erase the parental imprinting and setting the base for totipotency intrinsic to this cell lineage. …”

Associations of maternal PM2.5 exposure with preterm birth and miscarriage in women undergoing in vitro fertilization: a retrospective cohort study by Miaoxin Chen, Qiaoyu Chen, Gengze Liao, Chunyan Sun, Cong Liu, Xia Meng, Wentao Li, Andong Qiu, Orhan Bukulmez, Haidong Kan, Feng Wang, Lap Ah Tse, Xiaoming Teng

“…Our stratified analyses revealed that women with an endometrial thickness <11 mm or who underwent frozen embryo transfer were more vulnerable to PM2.5 exposure, leading to higher rates of preterm birth.ConclusionExcessive PM2.5 exposure after biochemical pregnancy or clinical pregnancy was associated with increased risks of preterm birth and miscarriage among women who underwent ART.…”

The Role of Mitochondria from Mature Oocyte to Viable Blastocyst by Scott Chappel

“…The combination of lower number and increased frequency of mutations and deletions may result in inadequate mitochondrial activity necessary for continued embryo development and cause pregnancy failure. Previous reports suggested that mitochondrial activity within oocytes may be supplemented by donor cytoplasmic transfer at the time of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). …”

The Heart-Placenta Axis in the First Month of Pregnancy: Induction and Prevention of Cardiovascular Birth Defects by Kersti K. Linask

“…Considering that approximately 49% of pregnancies are unplanned, this period of pregnancy can be considered high-risk for cardiac, as well as for neural, birth defects, as the woman usually is not aware of her pregnancy and may not yet be taking precautionary actions to protect the developing embryo. Using avian and mouse vertebrate models, we demonstrated that FA supplementation prevents CHD induced by alcohol, lithium, or elevation of the metabolite homocysteine, a marker for FA deficiency. …”
