Background In vitro fertilization (IVF) and intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) are recognized as established and increasingly successful forms of treatment for infertility, yet significant numbers of couples discontinue treatment without achieving a live birth. This study aims to identify major factors that influence the decision to discontinue IVF/ICSI treatments. MaterialsAndMethods We ...

background: monozygotic monochorionic triplet pregnancy with conjoined twins is a very rare condition and is associated with many complications. case: in this study, we describe a monochorionic–diamniotic triplet pregnancy after in vitro fertilization with an intracytoplasmic sperm injection. at a gestational age of 6 weeks and 4 days of pregnancy one gestational sac was observed, and at a gest...

The aim of this report has been evaluating protamine content and DNA integrity of two patients with globozoospermia undergoing Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). Semen analysis was carried out according to WHO criteria. Protamine deficiency and DNA fragmentation was assessed using Chromomycin A3 and sperm chromatin dispersion assay respectively. ICSI and chemical activation were carried ...

objective: the present study aimed to simultaneously evaluate the association between expression of three potential factors [post-acrosomal sheath ww domain-binding protein (pawp), phospholipase cζ (plcζ), and truncated form of the kit receptor (tr-kit)] as candidates of oocyte activation with fertilization rate and early embryonic development. materials and methods: in this experimental study,...

Background Failed fertilization occurs 1-3% in the infertile couples. Failure of oocyte activation (OA) is mainly attributed to failed fertilization. ICSI alone artificial oocyte activation (AOA) is only treatment approach for these individuals. Three procedures are introduced for AOA: chemical, mechanical and electrical. Most of the clinical Centers have commonly used ionomycin for activation ...

As a result, list 10 articles published IV quarter (October — December) 2021 compiled. review includes following topics: genetic causes infertility...

Assisted reproduction techniques (ART), in particular in-vitro fertilization and intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection, are the most advanced forms of infertility treatment. They involve numerous counseling, medical, surgical and laboratory-based steps. At each step various problems and complications could be encountered that challenge even the most experienced ART practitioners. Moreover, patients...

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of method and clinician on stallion sperm morphology evaluation. Five clinicians evaluated 60 semen samples using wet-mount preparations with phase-contrast, eosin/nigrosin-stained semen smears, and Papanicolaou-stained semen smears. There were significant differences among methods for all sperm morphology categories and most intra-class ...
