In this paper, the development of a computer controlled piezo manipulation system for biomedical applications such as intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is presented. The hardware setup and the control strategies will be described in full details to illustrate the advantages of this approach as compared to other manual-based injection methods.

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...

Infertility is one of the most common problems worldwide. Half causes infertility are due to women and half men. For this reason, studies overcome problem concentrated on way ensuring continuation generation by using high technology. purpose, applications such as (in vitro fertilization) IVF (intra cytoplasmic sperm injection) ICSI widely applied. This process done experts produces non-objectiv...

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

introduction: implantation of transferred embryos in the uterus after ivf_icsi cyclesis an important process that less information about it is available. zona hatching method is a suggested approach for this goal. the aim of this research is about performance of zona hatching by laser. methods: in this study 32 patients that enrolled had ivf/icsi cycles depend on inclusion criteria of study tha...

OBJECTIVE To compare peak to mid estradiol ratio with the probability of successful conception after intracytoplasmic sperm injection. METHOD The quasi-experimental study was conducted in an infertility clinic at Islamabad from June 2010 till August 2011, and comprised couples subjected to intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection. Down-regulation of ovaries was followed by calculated stimulation, ov...

Assisted reproduction with testicular sperm extraction (TESE) and intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) are fertility treatment options for couples with severe oligospermia or azoospermia. A retrospective review was performed of 146 TESE procedures in a specialist fertility centre in Ireland. The indication for TESE was obstructive azoospermia (OA) in 59% (n = 80) and non-obstructive azoospe...

objective: melatonin, the chief secretory product of the pineal gland, regulates dynamic physiological adaptations that occur in seasonally breeding mammals as a response to changes in daylight hours. because of the presence of melatonin in semen and the membrane melatonin receptor in spermatozoa, the impact of melatonin on the regulation of male infertility is still questionable. the aim of th...
