The objective of this study was to compare (i) the intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcomes among groups with different total motile count ranges, (ii) between normal and abnormal count, (iii) predictive values WHO 2010 cut-off pre-wash for outcomes, in couples male infertility. This included data from 518 patients undergoing their first cycle as a result Couples were divided into five according count: Group I, <1 × 10(6) ; group II, 1-5 III, 5-10 IV, 10-20 V, >20 (which considered value)....

There are many studies in the literature suggesting an acquired, apparently progressive infertility due to varicocele. In fact, varicocelectomy has become most commonly performed male surgery. Assisted reproductive technologies such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) also important for couples with factor associated Therefore, aim of this study was evaluate effect on quality and pregnancy rate ICSI. Data were analyzed from 248 patients who had varicocele or underwent a previous...

This study aims to find whether microRNAs (miRNAs) detected in the culture medium of embryos produced vitro could be potential biomarkers embryo implantation.Culture media samples from 36 embryos, derived patients undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) a private university-affiliated IVF center, were collected between January/2015 and November/2015. Samples on day three transfers performed five all reached blastocyst stage. split into groups according implantation result:...

Acupuncture has recently been used as a complementary technique in the management of infertility. It physiological and psychological effects may be considered an alternative for stress reduction women undergoing infertility treatments.To examine hypothesis that acupuncture treatment increase pregnancy rate patients intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles.Patients enrolled study were stratified according to age randomised either control group (n=208) or group, (n=208). The pregnancy,...

This study aimed to identify a possible correlation between serum levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and oocyte quality, embryo developmental competence, implantation potential.4488 oocytes obtained from 408 patients undergoing ICSI cycles were evaluated. Oocyte dimorphisms, quality on days two three, blastocyst formation fertilization rates, pregnancy rates correlated with AMH using Pearson's coefficient regression analysis.A positive was observed number retrieved (CC: 0.600, p<0.001),...

Sperm deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) fragmentation is commonly encountered in spermatozoa, and the oocyte assumes responsibility for repairing sperm DNA during oocyte-embryo transition.This study aimed to investigate whether effect of on intracytoplasmic injection outcomes depends incidence dimorphisms.For present cohort, 2942 fertilized oocytes from 525 patients submitted cycles were assessed. The was conducted a private vitro fertilization center affiliated university June 2016 July 2019....

Abstract The objective of this cohort study was to investigate whether embryo quality and morphokinetic behaviour differ in the four groups low-prognosis women as stratified by POSEIDON criteria. performed a private university-affiliated vitro fertilization (IVF) centre, included 3326 injected oocytes from 846 undergoing ICSI cycles between March 2019 April 2022. Kinetic markers point insemination were recorded EmbryoScope incubator. Generalized mixed models followed Bonferroni post hoc used...

Single-Atom Catalysts (SAC) have emerged as a promising class of materials for various catalytic applications, including the electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (eNO3RR) and consequently ammonia production. While efficiency selectivity these been extensively highlighted eNO3RR, in situ evolution to their structure composition during electrocatalysis are largely unexplored lacks catalyst design principles. To solve this, we investigated series high utilization metal-nitrogen-carbon...

Regulatory bodies recommend inconsistent ejaculatory abstinence lengths before semen analysis. The literature exploring the effect of length on outcomes intracytoplasmic sperm injection is scarce.To study influence quality and outcomes.This prospective cohort included 818 patients undergoing conventional analysis from October 2015 to 2016, in a private university-affiliated IVF centre. Generalized linear models adjusted for potential confounders were used investigate associations between...

To identify associations between presence of endometriosis and oocyte defects, embryo developmental potential, cycle outcomes.This study looked into the impact on quality, blastocyst formation probability. Endometriosis was also correlated with characteristics. In order to avoid age-related bias, in first analysis only patients aged 36 years or younger were included, cycles split infertility (n=431; 3172 oocytes) other (n=2510; 24480 oocytes).The number retrieved oocytes (10.6±21.2 vs....

Objective: To compare the use of GnRH agonist (GnRHa) or hCG trigger in potential OHSS patients undergoing freeze-all programs.We also compared clinical outcomes when fresh versus freeze-thawed embryo transfers were performed cycles with a high number retrieved oocytes.Methods: The study included who received GnRHa (n=74) (n=49) trigger.The protocols respect to outcomes.We which was used and more than 20 MII oocytes when: transfer protocol (n=153) (n=123) performed.Results: A decreased serum...
