Comment:Some good links in this distribution. Using a standard development time for time lapse corrects for using insemination, freeze day 1 or day 5 has the same cumulative outcomes, a sperm harpoon!! and using intracycle AMH to predict outcomes may be useful as in knowing the rise in hCG is not related to gender. Next Distribution has links to culture volume.

Early maternal serum ß-human chorionic gonadotropin (ß-hCG) levels and sex-related growth difference of IVF embryos
Seven hundred eighty-six non-donor SETs resulted in live birth. After including only day 16 serum ß-hCG results, 525 SETs were analysed. Neonatal gender was available for 522 cases. Mean maternal serum ß-hCG levels were similar, 347 ::± ::191 IU/L in the male newborn group and 371 ::± ::200 IU/L in the female group. The difference between ß-hCG levels remained insignificant after adjusting for confounding variables. Ed-No gend
A successful treatment algorithm for evaluation of early pregnancy after in vitro fertilization
Of the 3,904 pregnancies included, the incidence of EP and HP was 0.77% and 0.46%, respectively. The algorithm selected 96.7% and 83.3% of pregnancies diagnosed with EP and HP, respectively, for early ultrasound evaluation, leading to earlier treatment and resolution. Logistic regression revealed that first hCG, second hCG, hCG slope, age, pain, and vaginal bleeding were all independent predictors of early pregnancy failure after ART.
Freeze-all at the blastocyst or bipronuclear stage: A randomized clinical trial
Conclusion(s): Freeze-all at the blastocyst stage or at the bipronuclear stage has similar efficacy and IVF outcomes. The choice between them may depend primarily on logistical factors.
Dynamic antimüllerian hormone levels during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation predict in vitro fertilization response and pregnancy outcomes
Conclusion(s):The rate of COH AMH decline was associated with ovarian reserve testing, oocyte yield, embryo progression, and clinical pregnancy rates, particularly in women older than 35 years. These results suggest that dynamic AMH levels may provide a novel intracycle approach to predict response and treatment outcomes after IVF.
Influence of different oocyte insemination techniques on early and late morphokinetic parameters: retrospective analysis of 500 time-lapse monitored b
The observed 1.5-hour time difference between standard IVF- and ICSI-fertilized embryos is an artificial phenomenon. At the blastocyst stages, however, genuine timing differences arise between IVF- and ICSI-fertilized embryos, possibly related to their different quality. Normalization to a common time point permits the joint analysis of IVF- and ICSI-fertilized embryos, thus increasing the size of studied cohorts.
Sperm Lysozyme-Like Protein 1 (SLLP1), an intra-acrosomal oolemmal-binding sperm protein, reveals filamentous organization in protein crystal form
Sperm lysozyme-like protein 1 (SLLP1) is one of the lysozyme-like proteins predominantly expressed in mammalian testes that lacks bacteriolytic activity, localizes in the sperm acrosome, and exhibits high affinity for an oolemmal receptor, SAS1B.
Researchers identify protein in mice that helps prepare for healthy egg-sperm union
A protein that plays a vital role in healthy egg-sperm union has been identified in mice. The protein RGS2 can delay an egg's development into an embryo in order to allow time for sperm to arrive and merge with the egg in a healthy fertilization process. The embryo cannot survive without the male chromosomes, the scientists report.
Fertilization discovery: Do sperm wield tiny harpoons?
Could the sperm harpoon the egg to facilitate fertilization? That’s the intriguing possibility raised by the discovery that a protein within the head of the sperm forms spiky filaments, suggesting that these tiny filaments may lash together the sperm and its target.
