The freeze-all strategy has emerged as an alternative to fresh embryo transfer (ET) during in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. Although ET is the norm assisted reproductive therapies (ART), there are many concerns about possible adverse effects of controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) over endometrium. supra-physiologic hormonal levels that occur a conventional COS associated with modifications peri-implantation endometrium, which may be related decrease pregnancy rates and poorer obstetric...
Abstract The value of hysterosalpingosonography (HSSG) as a diagnostic tool was evaluated in 76 patients and compared to hysteroscopic, laparoscopic, and/or hysterosalpingographic (HSG) findings. Saline solution Dextran 60 were used distension media. Patients divided three groups: group A (n = 22), submitted for control post‐tubal electrocoagulation. Group B 38), with history pathological metrorrhagias, C 16) infertile women possible tubal pathology. Comparison between the different...
To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of freeze-all cycles when compared to fresh embryo transfer.This was an observational study with a analysis. The analysis consisted 530 intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in private center Brazil between January 2012 and December 2013. A total - 351 transfers 179 gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol day 3 transfers.The pregnancy rate 31.1% group 39.7% group. We performed two scenario analyses for costs. In 1, we included those...
Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCT) represent 1%–1.5% of all male neoplasms, and they have the highest prevalence among men between 15 35 years old. Synchronous bilateral disease is a rare presentation, ratio metachronous to synchronous about 4 : 1. Several studies suggested correlation infertility testicular cancer, with 20-fold increase in incidence cancer infertile patients compared general population. At time diagnosis, 50%–75% unilateral TGCT present subfertility; almost 13% are...
To evaluate whether the freeze-all strategy affects in-vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome in poor ovarian responders (POR) defined according to Bologna criteria.This was a retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing IVF treatment between January 2012 and December 2016 at single center. A total 433 POR (as by criteria) fulfilled criteria were included study; these, 277 underwent fresh embryo transfer (ET) 156 followed policy. All controlled stimulation (COS) following...
This case report demonstrates a successful pregnancy after ICSI combined with hypo-osmotic swelling test in couple Kartagener's syndrome complete immotile ejaculated spermatozoa. Our result suggests that even for spermatozoa, the use of is good alternative to identify viable When associated ICSI, it can be valuable tool get fertilisation and pregnancy.
The incidence of ovarian cyst formation during stimulation with additional pituitary suppression was retrospectively studied in 359 patients included our in-vitro fertilization (IVF) programme. Women were classified according to the type desensitization subcutaneous buserelin used group A (long protocol; n = 285) and B (short 74). rate appearance single follicular cysts for 9.82% 22.97% (P less than 0.005). Ovarian cystic formations usually asymptomatic nonfunctional. presence these did not...
To evaluate COS and oocyte retrieval results in ART treatment cycles initiated at any stage of the menstrual cycle (random start) cancer patients, who could not postpone onset treatment.Prospective observational study 26 women with cancer, an indication to start within next 20 days wishing preserve their fertility. Ovarian stimulation started immediately FSH followed by GnRH antagonist for pituitary suppression agonist maturation. Treatment from day 1 14 was considered be follicular phase,...
We compared two methods of zona pellucida drilling. 213 embryos were biopsied with acid Tyrode. Each biopsy took 3 minutes and the entire procedure ~29 minutes. 5% blastomeres lysed, 49% became blastocyst 36% patients pregnant. 229 laser. 30 seconds ~7 2.5% 50.6% 47% can conclude that laser be used for embryo biopsy. Reduction exposure removed is associated increased blastocysts available transfer a better clinical outcome.
The aim of our study was to identify the prevalence HPV in semen men submitted ART treatment and look into possible impacts virus on sperm parameters.Thirty-five patients treated for infertility from March August 2016 were invited join study. Samples with a minimum concentration 40x106 spermatozoa per milliliter included After evaluation parameters, DNA extraction PCR performed verify presence by electrophoresis 8% polyacrylamide gel.Patient age ranged 27 68 years (mean 39.2 years).
