Selection and management of the embryo transfer donor mare

The Comparison Between the Pregnancy Outcome after Easy Embryo Transfer and Difficult Embryo Transfer

Background: The role of embryo transfer (ET) in the success of in vitro fertilization/intra cytoplasmic sperm injection treatment is not well understood. In the present study we classified ET technique as difficult and easy types according to certain strict criteria, and compared the pregnancy outcome of the two ET types. Methods: This study was performed retrospectively on 295 infertile patien...

Donor Selection and Management of the High-Risk Donor

In light of increasing organ demand in a stable supply setting, prompt and efficacious potential cardiac donor management is of paramount importance. Since the early description of the “ideal” donor by Griepp and associates in 1971 (1), the criteria by which donors are accepted— and the characteristics that determine a “high-risk” donor—have changed substantially (see Tables 1 and 2). Indeed, t...

Lung donor selection and management.

Lung transplantation is still limited by the shortage of suitable donor organs. This results in long waiting times for listed patients with a substantial risk (10-15%) of dying before transplantation. All efforts to increase donor awareness through legislation, public campaigns, and training of transplant coordinators and medical ICU staff should be encouraged. Only a minority of cadaveric dono...

Timed embryo transfer programs for management of donor and recipient cattle.

Currently, timed ovulation induction and fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) in superstimulated donors and synchronization protocols for fixed-time embryo transfer (FTET) in recipients can be performed using GnRH or estradiol plus progesterone/progestin (P4)-releasing devices and prostaglandin F(2α) (PGF2α). The control of follicular wave emergence and ovulation at predetermined times, wi...
