OBJECTIVE To investigate whether an associated ovarian endometrioma is a marker for severity of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). DESIGN Observational study between June 1992 and December 2005. SETTING University tertiary referral center. PATIENT(S) Five hundred patients with histologically assessed DIE. INTERVENTION(S) Complete surgical exeresis of deep endometriotic lesions. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Severity of the disease was quantified according to the mean number of DIE lesions and the type of main lesion. RESULT(S) In patients with associated ovarian endometrioma, the number of single isolated DIE lesions was statistically significantly lower (41.9% vs. 61.1%). The mean number of DIE lesions was statistically significantly higher in patients presenting with an associated ovarian endometrioma (2.51 +/- 1.72 vs. 1.64 +/- 1.0). For patients with associated ovarian endometrioma DIE lesions were more severe with an increased rate of vaginal, intestinal, and ureteral lesions. CONCLUSION(S) Associated ovarian endometrioma is a marker for the severity of the DIE. In a clinical context suggestive of DIE, when there is an ovarian endometrioma, the practitioner should investigate the extent of the disease to check for severe and multifocal DIE lesions.

OBJECTIVE To collect follow-up data for infertile men with Y microdeletion. DESIGN Retrospective, observational survey. SETTING Multicenter IVF units associated with genetics laboratories. PATIENT(S) Sixty-three patients with Y microdeletion. INTERVENTION(S) Karyotype analysis, Y microdeletion screening, and assisted reproductive technology. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Medical history, karyotype, nature of the AZF deletion, semen parameters, testis biopsy results, choice of assisted reproductive technology, and results of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). RESULTS Abnormal karyotypes were found in 8 men (12.7%), who were azoospermic except 1. Of these 8 men, 5 presented a combined AZFb+c deletion, and 3 had a deletion in AZFc only. Most men (39 of 63) were azoospermic, 3 were cryptoazoospermic, and 19 had extreme oligozoospermia (sperm concentration </=1.10(6)/mL). Sperm concentration above 1.10(6)/mL was found for 2 men (3.1%). A testis biopsy was performed in 27 azoospermic men, resulting in positive sperm extraction in 6 cases. To date, 42 ICSI cycles with either testicular (n = 5) or ejaculated spermatozoa (n = 37) have been carried out in 23 couples with male partners with AZFc deletion. Eighteen clinical pregnancies were obtained, leading to the birth of 14 babies. Donor insemination had been chosen by 28 couples, leading to the birth of 9 children. CONCLUSION Karyotype analysis should be systematically performed in Y microdeleted men. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection can be offered to half of AZFc-deleted patients, providing real opportunities to have a child.

The objective of this study was to compare the implantation rate, pregnancy rate and endometrial thickness of frozen-thawed embryo transfers using endometrial preparation with either an artificial cycle or stimulated cycle. This was a prospective randomized trial at a single academic IVF centre. Seventy-seven patients undergoing artificial cycles received oral oestradiol; patients with endometrium < 7 mm on day 9-10 were switched to vaginal oestradiol. Eighty-six patients undergoing stimulated cycles received recombinant FSH followed by human gonadotrophin hormone injection. Vaginal progesterone was begun 2 or 3 days prior to embryo transfer. There was no difference in implantation rate (8.5% versus 7.3%), pregnancy rate (16% versus 13%), cancellation rate (both 23%) or endometrium thickness (8.7 +/- 1.1 mm versus 8.7 +/- 1.0 mm) between artificial and stimulated cycles. Stimulated cycles had a higher incidence of thin endometrium (27% versus 5%, P < 0.01). In artificial cycles, patients switched to vaginal oestradiol had improved pregnancy rate (31%) versus patients who received oral oestradiol alone (13%) (P = 0.05). It is concluded that artificial and stimulated cycles produce comparable pregnancy rates, implantation rates, cancellation rates and endometrial thickness, although stimulated cycles have a higher incidence of thin endometrium. Vaginal oestradiol supplementation improved implantation rates.

BACKGROUND Through oocyte donation (OD), women with Turner syndrome (TS) may achieve motherhood. However, this population has a high prevalence of cardiac malformations and carry a risk for aortic dissection that is increased by pregnancy. Until recently, the necessity for a specialized cardiac evaluation before pregnancy was underestimated as was the need for follow-up through adulthood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the follow-up (mainly cardiovascular) of women with TS requesting OD. METHODS Disease monitoring since diagnosis and prior cardiac evaluations conducted out of our centre were assessed in 25 women with TS who requested OD. New cardiac evaluations using echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging were performed by our specialized cardiologist in 18 of these patients. RESULTS We observed that the medical follow-up of women with TS was often deficient throughout adulthood. Most of the prior cardiac evaluations performed by cardiologists not accustomed to women with TS, either before (n = 8) or when starting OD (n = 12), were considered normal. However, when revaluated by a cardiologist who is familiar with TS, seven women were diagnosed with a bicuspid aortic valve and thus excluded from OD. In addition, when appropriate screening was conducted by our referent cardiologist before OD no cardiac complication was observed during pregnancy or delivery. CONCLUSIONS Careful follow-up, including cardiac evaluation, should be recommended for women diagnosed with TS, before and after puberty. Moreover, assessment of cardiovascular parameters by a cardiologist familiar with TS should be routinely repeated before undertaking OD.

The objective of this retrospective study was to describe a population of patients displaying impaired sperm motility due to ultrastructural flagellar defects and to analyse the intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) results and neonatal outcomes in this population. The fertilization rate, embryo quality, clinical pregnancy rate, implantation rate, birth rate and perinatal health of babies were determined. Patients (n = 20) were divided into seven categories according to ultrastructural flagellar abnormalities. The type of flagellar abnormality significantly affected the fertilization rate (P <0.025). Two types of flagellar abnormalities showed slower early embryo cleavage kinetics (P <0.001) when axonemal central structures and periaxonemmal columns were abnormal or absent. Of 53 ICSI attempts, 14 resulted in clinical pregnancies (26.4% per cycle) after fresh and frozen embryo transfer. Three (21.4%) of these pregnancies ended in miscarriages and, in the remaining, 12 infants were born (7.2% of transferred embryos). The outcomes differed according to the ultrastructural defect. This study demonstrates that a high proportion of patients could father a child (45.0%). However, flagellar abnormalities appear to influence ICSI results and fetal development.

The case of a successful pregnancy is reported here, following intracytoplasmic sperm injection which resulted in a cohort of embryos showing accelerated cleavage kinetics. Pregnancy was not achieved with fresh embryos transferred at the 4-cell stage but was achieved with cryopreserved accelerated embryos. After an ovarian stimulation cycle, 20 mature oocytes were observed. Early cleavage was observed in 19 of these, 26 h post-injection, and 17 were beyond the 4-cell stage 42 h after injection. No pregnancy was obtained after the transfer of two fresh embryos at the 4-cell stage without fragments. Following the transfer of two frozen accelerated embryos, a twin pregnancy was obtained, which resulted in the delivery of two healthy babies. This case report demonstrates that classical scoring systems may need to be adapted to reflect the cleavage kinetics of the whole embryo cohort.
