BACKGROUND: Many different embryo selection criteria have been used in assisted
reproductive technologies (ART), but there are no published prospective studies to ascertain …

A key step in assisted reproduction is the assessment of embryo viability in order to identify
the embryo (s) most likely to result in pregnancy. Currently used embryo assessment …

Growth hormone (GH) has been shown to improve implantation and live birth rates in
women of> 40 years of age treated by in vitro fertilization (IVF). This effect was initially …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of artificial oocyte activation (AOA) on intracytoplasmic
sperm injection (ICSI) cycles using surgically retrieved sperm. DESIGN: Laboratory study …

An azoospermic man suffers from an absence of sperm in the ejaculate and this condition is
present in about 10% of infertile men. Obstructive azoospermia (OA) is characterized by an …

This study was performed to assess and compare the outcomes of testicular sperm
extraction (TESE)-intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) using spermatozoa from fresh and …

OBJECTIVE: To assess fertilization, pregnancy, and miscarriage rates after intracytoplasmic
sperm injection (ICSI) with epididymal or testicular spermatozoa from different types of …

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of a scoring system combining zygote and embryo
morphology in predicting the outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. Methods In a …

Purpose Recent studies have shown that improved clinical outcomes can be achieved by
transferring blastocysts rather than cleavage-stage embryos. However, blastocyst transfer is …

Objective: The aim of this study was the evaluation of oocytes activation by addition of
calcium ionophore in unfertilized oocytes in ICSI cycles. Materials and Methods: This study …
