A revolutionary joins the establishment: Reproductive Biomedicine Online turns 20
Reproductive BioMedicine OnlineVol. 41Issue 6p978–980Published online: September 1, 2020- Fiona Bennett
Cited in Scopus: 0This commentary highlights the publishing revolution achieved by Robert Edwards in founding Reproductive Biomedicine Online. It corrects some inaccuracies in the account given by Roger Gosden in his recently published book Let There Be Life: An Intimate Portrait of Robert Edwards and His IVF Revolution. - CommentaryOpen Access
Empathetic application of machine learning may address appropriate utilization of ART

Cited in Scopus: 5The value of artificial intelligence to benefit infertile patients is a subject of debate. This paper presents the experience of one aspect of artificial intelligence, machine learning, coupled with patient empathy to improve utilization of assisted reproductive technology (ART), which is an important aspect of care that is under-recognized. Although ART provides very effective options for infertile patients to build families, patients often discontinue ART when further treatment is likely to be beneficial and most of these patients do not achieve pregnancy without medical aid. - Commentary
Chimeras intended for human gamete production: an ethical alternative?
Reproductive BioMedicine OnlineVol. 35Issue 4p387–390Published online: July 18, 2017- César Palacios-González
Cited in Scopus: 4Human eggs for basic, fertility and stem-cell research are in short supply. Many experiments that require their use cannot be carried out at present, and, therefore, the benefits that could emerge from these are either delayed or never materialise. This state of affairs is problematic for scientists and patients worldwide, and it is a matter that needs our attention. Recent advances in chimera research have opened the possibility of creating human/non-human animal chimeras intended for human gamete production (chimeras-IHGP). - Commentary
Baby factories taint surrogacy in Nigeria

- Clifford O. Odimegwu
Cited in Scopus: 11The practice of reproductive medicine in Nigeria is facing new challenges with the proliferation of ‘baby factories’. Baby factories are buildings, hospitals or orphanages that have been converted into places for young girls and women to give birth to children for sale on the black market, often to infertile couples, or into trafficking rings. This practice illegally provides outcomes (children) similar to surrogacy. While surrogacy has not been well accepted in this environment, the proliferation of baby factories further threatens its acceptance. - CommentaryOpen Access
Dual ovarian stimulation is a new viable option for enhancing the oocyte yield when the time for assisted reproductive technnology is limited

- Dominique de Ziegler
Cited in Scopus: 34Ovarian stimulation improves assisted reproductive technology outcome by increasing the number of oocytes available for insemination and in-vitro handling. A recent Duplex protocol features a dual stimulation, with the second stimulation started immediately after the first oocyte retrieval. Remarkably, the Duplex protocol is unexpectadly well tolerated by women and provides twice as many oocytes and embryos as a regular antagonist protocol in less than 30 days. - CommentaryOpen Access
Italian Constitutional Court removes the prohibition on gamete donation in Italy
Reproductive BioMedicine OnlineVol. 29Issue 6p662–664Published online: September 5, 2014- Giuseppe Benagiano
- Valentina Filippi
- Serena Sgargi
- Luca Gianaroli
Cited in Scopus: 18In 2004, The Italian Constitutional Court prohibited treatments involving gamate donation, embryo donation, embryo cryopreservation (except under exceptional circumstances), and the transfer of more than three embryos. Basically three statements were made by the Court: the ban violates a couple's fundamental right to health, to self-determination and to have a child. Here, the consequences of such a decision and the legal challenges that ensued are discussed. - CommentaryOpen Access
Ovarian reserve screening before contraception?
Reproductive BioMedicine OnlineVol. 29Issue 5p527–529Published online: August 6, 2014- Vitaly A. Kushnir
- David H. Barad
- Norbert Gleicher
Cited in Scopus: 13Women are increasingly delaying conception to later years. Hormonal contraception induces artificial cyclicity, which does not, like natural cyclicity, reflect normal, physiological ovarian behaviour. Therefore, long-term users of hormonal contraceptives, in particular, fail to derive potential diagnostic benefits from changes in menstrual cyclicity, which usually alerts patients and physicians to developing ovarian pathology. Timely diagnosis of ovarian problems is further hampered, as anti-Müllerian hormone is suppressed by hormonal contraceptives, making the accurate assessment of functional ovarian reserve more difficult. - CommentaryOpen Access
The social context for surrogates' motivations and satisfaction
Reproductive BioMedicine OnlineVol. 29Issue 4p399–401Published online: July 16, 2014- Zsuzsa Berend
Cited in Scopus: 19This Commentary takes up two of the main findings by Imrie and Jadva's study, namely surrogates' satisfaction with the post-surrogacy contact with intended parents and their motivation for surrogacy. It argues that the findings are in keeping with other qualitative research on surrogacy and that this similarity is not the result of the similarity of surrogates' psychological makeup. The Commentary highlights the centrality of social meanings and definitions, and following Howard Becker, insists on taking into account the collective doings that inform and shape individual feelings and behaviour.
