Transient Sperm Starvation Improves the Outcome of Assisted Reproductive Technologies

Inm-8: Assisted Reproductive Technologies and Genetics

Genetic causes have a considerable involvement in infertility. Well-known examples are some chromosomal translocations or sex-chromosomal abnormalities and Y-chromosome deletions. The most common chromosomal aberrations associated especially with severe oligo- and azoospermia are sex chromosome aneuploidies and chromosomal translocations. Consequently, occurrence of aneuploid embryos will lower...

Cabergoline versus Coasting in the Prevention of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome and Assisted Reproductive Technologies Outcome in High Risk Patients

Background Coasting is the most common method used in the prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) acting through vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) reduction. However, the pregnancy rate is reported to fall with coasting when it takes more than three days. Recently lowdose cabergoline, a selective D2 dopamine receptor agonist has been proven to selectively reduce vascular ...

Assisted Reproductive Technologies

Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are a collection of different techniques designed to help those who are infertile achieve a successful pregnancy [4]. The most popular technology currently in use is in vitro [5] fertilization [6] (IVF), but others include gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), zygote intrafallopian transfer [7] (ZIFT), intrauterine insemination (IUI), and intracytoplasm...

the role of sperm chromatin anomalies on the outcome of assisted reproductive techniques

sperm dna is known to contribute one half of the genomic material to the offspring. the integrity of sperm dna is important in fertilization, embryonic and fetal development, and postnatal child well being. the nature has created multiple barriers that allow only the fittest sperm to reach and fertilize an oocyte. however, assisted reproductive techniques (art), like ivf and icsi, may allow spe...
