INTRODUCTION In several clinics, elective single-embryo transfer (eSET) is applied in a selected group of patients based on age and the availability of a good-quality embryo. Whether or not eSET can be applied irrespective of the presence of a good-quality embryo in the first cycle, to further reduce the twin pregnancy rate, remains to be elucidated. METHODS In patients <38 years two transfer...

Embryo transfer offers great advantages to South American camelid farmers to reach their breeding goals but the technology still plays a relatively minor role in comparison to other domestic farm animals like cattle. The aim of the present study was to analyse a data set of 5547 single or multiple ovulation embryo transfers performed in commercial alpaca farms in Australia to determine the fact...

Background: Vitrification and warming of blastocysts is an established procedure for the preservation of embryos during IVF. Vitrification is so successful that it allows for elective single embryo transfer (eSET) to be performed routinely, since the frozen embryos will be available with high implantation potential if the fresh embryo fails. Comprehensive chromosome screening (CCS) is also a pr...

embryo transfer (et) in holstein dairy cattle became an important commercial enterprise after the introduction of non-surgical recovery technique. embryo transfer could increase the reproductive rate of genetically superior cows. the objectives of the present study were to evaluate the use of et in iranian holstein dairy cattle to increase selection intensity on the dam side, economically; esti...

background: the latest studies reported that local endometrial injury is a useful method to improve the success of ivf-icsi outcome. objective: to assess whether local endometrial injury occurred by pipelle in the spontaneous cycle could improve implantation rate, cleavage rate, and pregnancy outcome in the subsequent ivf-icsi cycle in patients who had recurrent ivf failure. materials and metho...
