A possible effect of different light sources on pregnancy rates following gamete intra-fallopian transfer.

Hydatidiform moles associated with multiple gestations after assisted reproduction: diagnosis by analysis of DNA fingerprint.

In spite of the widespread use of assisted reproductive technology, there have been, to our knowledge, only two reported cases of molar pregnancies after gamete intra-Fallopian transfer and five reported cases after in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. We report here a case of a complete hydatidiform mole in a twin pregnancy after gamete intra-Fallopian transfer, as well as a case of a c...

Gamete Intra-Fallopian Transfer (GIFT)

Various techniques constitute assisted reproduction, one of which is gamete intra-fallopian transfer (GIFT). The first example of GIFT involved primates during the 1970s, however, the technology was unsuccessful until 1984 when an effective GIFT method was invented by Ricardo Asch [4] at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center [5] and the procedure resulted in the first human pregnancy [...

"Donum vitae" and gamete intra-fallopian tube transfer.

Reduced pregnancy rates following the transfer of human embryos frozen or thawed in culture media supplemented with normal serum albumin.

Over a 26 month period 17% of couples having treatment in our clinical programmes selected a commercially available protein (normal serum albumin, NSA) prepared from pooled human sera instead of using their own serum as a supplement for their embryo culture media. In a retrospective analysis of >2000 gonadotrophin-stimulated cycles and 1000 cycles where frozen/thawed embryos were transferred, f...

Effect of Intra-Uterine Injection of hCG on Implantation Rate in IVF Candidates

ABSTRACT           Background and Objectives: Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is the embryonic hormone and one of the most important factors for implantation. The present study aimed to evaluate effect of intra-uterine injection of hCG before embryo transfer on the pregnancy outcome in IVF.          Method...
