Does meiotic spindle normality predict improved blastocyst development, implantation and live birth
Spindle assessment with polarized light microscopy provides an early predictor of the pregnancy potential of that oocyte. AS oocytes can form good-quality blastocysts, but these appear to have little chance of live birth. Therefore, spindle assessmen
A new real-time morphology classification for human spermatozoa: a link for fertilization and improv
Our suggested formula is (Normal head score = 2) + (Lack of vacuole score = 3) + (Normal base score = 1) = (Total score = 6) for a morphologic “normal top” spermatozoon, calculated with the major criteria affecting the outcome of ICSI. We take into a
Corifollitropin alfa doses based on body weight: clinical overview of drug exposure and ovarian resp
Successful use of corifollitropin alfa requires assessment of patient suitability and dosing before the start of stimulation. After decades of daily dosing with FSH preparations, corifollitropin alfa allows a simpler IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm inject

Evidence of impaired endometrial receptivity after ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization: a
The clinical pregnancy rate per transfer was significantly greater in the cryopreservation group than in the fresh group. These results strongly suggest impaired endometrial receptivity in fresh ET cycles after ovarian stimulation, when compared with
Most importantly, the relationship between the movements and the events of egg activation makes it possible to use the movements alone to predict developmental potential of the zygote. In conclusion, this method offers, thus far, the earliest and fas

Methodology matters: IVF versus ICSI and embryonic gene expression
In blastocysts derived by ICSI-A versus IVF and ICSI-A versus ICSI, the expression of 132 and 65 genes differed respectively (P<0.01). Procedural-induced changes in genes regulating specific biological pathways revealed some consistency to known adve
