LUF-syndrome: recent findings
Audebert A, 1990·J Gynecol Obstet Biol Reprod (Paris)
Luteinization of a follicle without its rupture and without the oocyte being expelled which is also called the LUF-syndrome by English speaking authors is one of a number of functional abnormalities that can occur to the follicle in the ovary and is diagnosed by ultrasound methods. It is one that has been known for quite a long time. Many publications have appeared since 1978 to describe this syndrome, which all the same is still very controversial. One has learnt how to diagnose it fairly well. One knows more about its physiopathogenesis and how often it occurs. This seems to be more often when there is pelvic endometriosis or so-called unexplained infertility. What is more difficult however is to find out how important it is as a cause of lowered fertility, and it is also it just happens occasionally or is a true syndrome? It is still not possible today to give a definite answer to this question because of reasons of methodology. Finally, as far as treatment goes, even if the facts about its pathogeneiity have been found out and should be able to help decide on a logical treatment there have been no controlled studies to find out whether the treatment works.

Subtle abnormalities in follicular development and hormonal profile in women with unexplained infertility
Lewinthal D et al., 1986·Fertil Steril
A prospective study of six unselected couples diagnosed as having unexplained infertility was done. In three of six patients, subtle abnormalities in follicular development were detected. In the first case poor follicular growth was observed. There was a premature small rise of luteinizing hormone (LH) with subsequent low levels of estradiol (E2) in the late follicular phase and unusual wide LH peak. This was followed by low progesterone levels in the luteal phase. In the second case follicular growth was abrupted by premature LH surge. This surge was triggered by early rise of E2 level while the follicle was still small in size. In the third case luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome was diagnosed, on ultrasound examination. All of the abnormalities were repetitive.

Environmental Contaminants Affecting Fertility and Somatic Health
Chiang C et al., 2017·Semin Reprod Med
This review article summarizes the epidemiological findings published between 2011 and 2016 concerning bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, dioxins, pesticides, air pollution, fracking chemicals, triclosan, and parabens and fertility parameters in men (i.e., semen volume, sperm concentration, sperm motility, and sperm morphology) as well as fertility parameters in women (i.e., cyclicity, fertility treatment outcomes), pregnancy outcomes (i.e., preterm birth,miscarriage), and reproductive disorders (i.e., polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids). Overall, this review indicates that several environmental toxicants are significantly associated with reduced fertility parameters in men and women as well as several reproductive disorders in women. Although many studies reported that the selected exposures are associated with adverse fertility outcomes, several studies reported null associations. Thus, future studies are still needed to better elucidate the associations and potential mechanisms between these environmental chemicals and fertility outcomes in men and women.

Disparities in Obstetrical Outcomes in ART Pregnancies Compared with Natural Conceptions
Novak C et al., 2013·Seminars in Reproductive Medicine
Health disparities are observed in all fields of medicine and reproductive health is not immune to this phenomenon. The incidence of women using infertility treatments to conceive is increasing. Women undergoing assisted reproduction appear to be at increased risk of adverse outcomes, and minority women tend to be at even greater risk. This article examines several adverse obstetrical outcomes including preterm birth, congenital malformations, and preeclampsia among women receiving infertility treatments compared with those who conceive spontaneously. It will further examine societal costs associated with these procedures.
