FERTILITY AND STERILITY
Scope & Guideline
Innovating solutions for reproductive challenges.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART):
This includes studies on in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and embryo transfer techniques, focusing on optimizing procedures and improving outcomes. - Endometriosis and Uterine Disorders:
Research on the implications of endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and other reproductive disorders on fertility, including surgical and medical management approaches. - Genetic Testing and Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT):
Exploration of genetic factors influencing reproductive outcomes, including the use of PGT to assess embryo viability and genetic health. - Socioeconomic and Racial Disparities in Reproductive Health:
Investigating how socioeconomic factors and race/ethnicity impact access to fertility treatments, outcomes, and overall reproductive health. - Mental Health and Infertility:
Examining the psychological impacts of infertility and treatment, including stress, anxiety, and the importance of mental health support in reproductive care. - Innovations in Reproductive Technology:
Highlighting advancements in technology, including artificial intelligence and machine learning applications in fertility treatments and embryo selection.
Trending and Emerging
- Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Reproductive Medicine:
There is a noticeable trend towards incorporating AI for improving embryo selection, predicting outcomes, and personalizing treatment plans. - Focus on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Fertility Research:
Increasing attention is being paid to understanding and addressing disparities in fertility treatment access and outcomes across different racial and ethnic groups. - Sustainability and Environmental Impact on Reproductive Health:
Research linking environmental factors, such as air quality and chemical exposure, to fertility outcomes is gaining prominence as the field recognizes the broader societal impacts on reproductive health. - Mental Health Considerations in Fertility Treatments:
The importance of psychological support and mental health care in fertility treatments is increasingly recognized, leading to a rise in studies addressing this aspect. - Longitudinal Studies on Fertility Preservation:
Emerging research focuses on the long-term outcomes of fertility preservation techniques, particularly in cancer patients and those with genetic disorders.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Fertility Treatments without Genetic Testing:
With the rise of genetic testing and advanced reproductive technologies, traditional methods of treatment are being examined less frequently, as practitioners and researchers focus on personalized and precision medicine approaches. - Gender-Specific Studies without Broader Context:
Research focusing only on male or female fertility issues in isolation is declining as there is a growing recognition of the importance of understanding reproductive health in a holistic and inclusive manner. - Basic Laboratory Techniques in Sperm Analysis:
As more sophisticated and automated technologies for sperm analysis are developed, basic laboratory techniques are being overshadowed, leading to a decrease in studies focused solely on these older methods.
