Similarly, there were no significant differences between the two groups for implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the reproductive outcomes were not influenced by adjustment for female age, infertility diagnosis, number of previous attempts, treatment protocol (GnRH agonist or antagonist), assisted reproduction procedure (IVF or ICSI), and leukocytospermia. By profiling the proper Poisson regression models, no leukocytospermia cut-off value was able to identify the subjects at risk for oocyte fertilization or embryo cleavage failure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION(S): &lt;/b&gt;Using a flow cytometry method, we demonstrated that leukocytospermia does not significantly influence IVF or ICSI outcomes. The same results were obtained by using lower or higher cut-off values for leukocytospermia (from 0.2 to 2 × 10(6)/mL).&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25936234?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sartore, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Seta, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maso, Gianpaolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberico, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Borelli, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guaschino, Secondo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The effects of uterine fundal pressure (Kristeller maneuver) on pelvic floor function after vaginal delivery.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch Gynecol Obstet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch.

Participants were questioned about urogynecological symptoms and examined by Q-tip test, digital test, vaginal perineometry and uroflowmetric stop test score.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Mediolateral episiotomies, dyspareunia and perineal pain were significantly higher in Kristeller group, whereas urinary and anal incontinence, genital prolapse and pelvic floor strength were not significantly different between the groups.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Kristeller maneuver does not modify puerperal pelvic floor function but increases the rate of episiotomies.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22752555?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
