Are varicoceles associated with increased deoxyribonucleic acid fragmentation?
Conclusion(s) Varicocele is associated with sperm DNA damage, and this sperm pathology may be secondary to varicocele-mediated oxidative stress. The beneficial effect of varicocelectomy on sperm DNA damage further supports the premise that varicocele
Comparison of Cryotip vs. Cryotop for mouse and human blastomere vitrification
Conclusion(s)-The closed system is more efficient in preserving mouse and human blastomeres in terms of acceptable survival and division rates, and it also complies with European Union directives.
Standardization of catheter load speed during embryo transfer: comparison of manual and pump-regulat
The results indicate that in manually performed transfers, even after standardization of the protocol, there is still a large variation in injection speed, while a PRET device generates a reliable and reproducible injection speed and therefore bring
Premature LH surges do not affect pregnancy rates with unstimulated-cycle frozen–thawed embryo trans
Based on these results, it was concluded that LH surges 10 IU/l occurred in over 50% of patients, but LH surges demonstrated no significant effect on pregnancy rates. Single LH determination prior to ovulation induction in unstimulated-cycle FET does
A maternally inherited autosomal point mutation in human phospholipase C zeta (PLCζ:) leads to m
Collectively, our findings provide further evidence regarding the importance of PLCζ: at oocyte activation and forms of male infertility where this is deficient. Additionally, we show that the inheritance patterns underlying male infertility are
The effect of recombinant LH on embryo quality: a randomized controlled trial in women with poor ova
CONCLUSIONS This study found no significant difference in embryo quality after the addition of rLH to rFSH for ovarian stimulation in women with poor ovarian reserve.
Despite the initial reactions of disapproval, more and more fertility clinics are now offering oocyte cryopreservation to healthy women in order to extend their reproductive options. However, so-called social freezing is not placed on an equal footin
Are ICSI adolescents at risk for increased adiposity?
CONCLUSIONS We found that pubertal ICSI girls were more prone to central, peripheral and total adiposity compared with their SC counterparts. ICSI adolescents with advanced pubertal stages showed more peripheral adiposity.
Human embryonic development after blastomere removal: a time-lapse analysis
CONCLUSIONS We find that blastomere biopsy prolongs the biopsied cell-stage, possibly caused by a delayed compaction and alters the mechanism of hatching.
Prenatal Exposure to Environmental Pollutants May Affect Weight and Size of Newborn
University of Granada researchers have shown that infants born to women living in large cities are more likely to have higher weight at birth than those born to mothers living in rural areas. This is probably due to a higher exposure to xenoestrogens
Can Fetus Sense Mother's Psychological State? Study Suggests Yes
ScienceDaily (Nov. 10, 2011) — As a fetus grows, it's constantly getting messages from its mother. It's not just hearing her heartbeat and whatever music she might play to her belly: it also gets chemical signals through the placenta. A new study, wh
Birth Weight Predicts Physical Functioning at Age 60
ScienceDaily (Nov. 11, 2011) — Low birth weight and slow growth progressing to greater body mass in pre-adolescence significantly increased the risk of poor physical functioning at the age of 60 years, a new Finnish study published in the American Jo
Chromosome Centromeres Are Inherited Epigenetically
Centromeres are specialised regions of the genome, which can be identified under the microscope as the primary constriction in X-shaped chromosomes. The cell skeleton, which distributes the chromosomes to the two daughter cells during cell division,
