Prevalence of infertility and help seeking among 15 000 women and men
The study provides estimates of infertility and help seeking in Britain and the results indicate that the prevalence of infertility is higher among those delaying parenthood. Those with higher educational qualifications and occupational status are more likely to consult with medical professionals for fertility problems than others and these inequalities in help seeking should be considered by clinical practice and public health.
IVF outcome is optimized when embryos are replaced between 5 and 15 mm from the fundal endometrial surface: a prospective analysis on 1184 IVF cycles
Despite comparable patients’ clinical characteristics, embryo morphological quality, and endometrial thickness, an EFD between 5 and 15 mm allowed to obtain significantly higher pregnancy and implantation rates than an EFD above 15 mm. The abortion rate was much higher (although not significantly) when EFD was below 5 mm than when it was between 5 and 15 mm. Combined together, these results produced an overall higher ongoing pregnancy rate in the
The effect of cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption and fruit and vegetable consumption on IVF outcomes: a review and presentation of original data
Of significance, it was found that male smoking caused an increased risk of pregnancy loss (p=0.029), while female smoking caused an adverse effect on ovarian reserve. Both alcohol consumption (β::=0.074, p<0.001) and fruit and vegetable consumption (β::=0.034, p<0.001) had positive effects on fertilization.
Sperm processing for advanced reproductive technologies: Where are we today?
Newer technologies, such as microfluidics, electrophoresis, motile sperm organelle morphology examination (MSOME), and birefringence eliminate the centrifugation steps and can improve the selection of sperm with higher DNA integrity, normal morphology, and motility as well as improved artificial insemination outcomes. In this review, we discuss some recent research in centrifugation and non-centrifugation based techniques and their effect on sper
Probability of finding at least one euploid embryo and the euploidy rate according to the number of retrieved oocytes and female age using FISH and ar
The estimated probabilities of finding at least one transferrable embryo would enable more accurate counselling of patients based on age and the number of retrieved oocytes. As the highest estimates for finding one euploidy embryo were achieved with 15-20 oocytes, deciding the best protocol for ovarian stimulation to achieve the maximum number of oocytes for retrieval based on the patients age and ovarian reserve would be of crucial importance.
Changes in the semen quality among 5739 men seeking infertility treatment in Northern Norway over past 20 years (1993–2012)
The proportion of hypospermic, azoospermic, and oligozoospermic men had increased by 24.6% (p < 0.001), 109.5% (p < 0.001), and 9.5% (p = 0.05), respectively, in the last decade (2003–2012) compared to the first decade (1993–2002). The parameters of semen quality are rapidly deteriorating in North Norwegian men seeking fertility treatment.
Does slow embryo development predict a high aneuploidy rate on trophectoderm biopsy?
The aneuploidy rate was also evaluated according to maternal age, and was found to be higher in older patients: however, no differences in this rate were detected between embryos biopsied on days 5 and 6 according to maternal age. Biopsy was carried out when blastocysts reached the expanded stage. The embryos biopsied on day 6 had a higher rate of aneuploidy (69.9%) than those biopsied on day 5 (61.4%): however, the euploid embryos transferred ha
Survival of the fittest sperm: How new technology may help infertile couples
Of the millions of sperm that enter the vagina, only about 10 make it to the egg, demonstrating how rigorous the natural sperm selection process really is. So how is it possible to select only the best sperm for assisted reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization? That's what a researcher is aiming to do with a new device that can quickly, easily and cost effectively select the healthiest sperm without causing DNA damage.
Survey of 15,000 women and men reveals scale of infertility
One in eight women and one in ten men have experienced infertility, yet nearly half of them have not sought medical help, according to a study of more than 15,000 women and men in Britain.
Mitochondrial DNA levels as a marker of embryo viability in IVF
Despite the claims and counter-claims for new embryo assessment techniques introduced over the past two decades, the search for the holy grail of assisted reproduction - the key to the embryo destined to implant - continues. Genetic screening techniques so far have relied largely on the assessment of one component of the embryo's genetic constitution, the number of chromosomes in its cells.
