Currently, there is an increasing research effort directed towards the utilization of cryopreserved testicular tissue containing abundant numbers of germ cells at various developmental stages.
The Problem of Contamination: Open vs. Closed vs. Semi-Closed Vitrification Systems
The Development of cryopreservation techniques, the increase in demand for cryopreserved cells or tissues and the use of these techniques in cells or tissues from patients with infectious diseases, has forced us to reduce the risk of contamination du
Dietary fat and semen quality among men attending a fertility clinic
CONCLUSIONS In this preliminary cross-sectional study, high intake of saturated fats was negatively related to sperm concentration whereas higher intake of omega-3 fats was positively related to sperm morphology. Further, studies with larger samples
Embryo transfer has become one of the prominent high businesses worldwide. This book updates and reviews some new developed theories and technologies in the human embryo transfer and mainly focus on discussing some encountered problems during embryo
It is very frustrating to both a patient and her clinician to transfer a beautiful embryo into a prepared uterus only to have it fail to implant. This chapter will review the mechanisms of human embryo implantation and discuss some reasons why it fai
Embryo implantation is critically dependent on a supportive uterine environment. Uterine receptivity is the culmination of a cellular and molecular transformation mediated locally by paracrine signals under the governance of ovarian steroid hormones,
Pregnancy Rates Following Transfer of Cultured Versus Non Cultured Frozen Thawed Human Embryos
Frozen embryo transfers (FET) are increasingly becoming a routine part of in-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) programs at advanced assisted reproductive technology (ART) centers throughout the world. Comparatively FET yield lower pregnancy rates than fresh
Importance of Blastocyst Morphology in Selection for Transfer
By replacement of embryos in the blastocyst stage, their exposure to
hyperstimulated milieu and consequent endometrial contractions, which could be fatal for them, is significantly shortened (Lesny et al., 1998). Blastocysts also contain a larger nu
Optimizing Embryo Transfer Outcomes: Determinants for Improved Outcomes Using the Oocyte Donation Mo
In this chapter we will review the clinical variables that have gained increasing importance as prognostic determinants of implantation and variables to maximize ET outcomes of oocyte donation in an attempt to control for confounding variables seen
Increasing Pregnancy by Improving Embryo Transfer Techniques
In this chapter we attempt to review the variables and, techniques that may refine the embryo transfer technique and divide them to the following three stages: before, during, and after embryo transfer.
1. Introduction -Embryo transfer refers to a step in the process of assisted reproduction in which one or several embryos are placed into the uterus of a female with the intent to establish a pregnancy. Currently this biotechnology has become one of
1. Introduction - In vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) procedures have widely been used in most reproductive centers for many years. The protocol aim is to create a maximum number of oocytes to allow selection of the best embryos and provi
Does the Number of Retrieved Oocytes Influence Pregnancy Rate After Day 3 and Day 5 Embryo Transfer?
1. Introduction - Decisions associated to ovarian stimulation approach are an essential component of medically assisted reproduction (MAR). Considerable amount of research in this field has enhanced our understanding of certain biological phenomena t
Prevention and Treatment of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome
1. Introduction - Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a clinical symptom complex associated with ovarian enlargement resulting from exogenous gonadotropin therapy. In severe cases, a critical condition develops with massive ascites, marked ov
Introduction - Infertility today represents a global problem. Male factor contributes in approximately 50% of infertile couples. In the last decade we are witnesses of the decreased quality of semen and the increased frequency of testicular cancer an
Meiotic Chromosome Abnormalities and Spermatic FISH in Infertile Patients with Normal Karyotype
1. Introduction - It is generally accepted that infertility affects 15% of couples at reproductive ages. The causes of infertility are 38% female, 20% male, 27% mixed and 15% unknown (Ferlin et al., 2007). The male factor is the sole responsible part
New Advances in Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
1. Introduction - In these last twenty years, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) has efficiently permitted the treatment of male factor infertility (Van Steirteghem et al., 1993): the direct injection of spermatozoa into ooplasm has allowed the
1. Introduction - Infertility is defined as the failure of a couple to become pregnant after one year of regular, unprotected, sexual intercourse. Misconceptions about infertility are very common. Infertility affects roughly 15% of all couples during
Exposed mice had dose-responsive impaired glutamatergic synaptic transmission onto layer V pyramidal neurons of the prefrontal cortex. We present the first experimental evidence of neuropathology due to in-utero cellular telephone radiation. Further
Highly Exposed to Phthalates as Fetuses, Female Mice Have Altered Reproductive Lives
Many environmental and public health officials are concerned about the potential health effects of phthalates, which are common chemicals used to make plastics softer and more pliable. In the first study to examine what effect in utero doses of phtha
Health Groups Issue Cervical Cancer Screening Guidelines
The American Cancer Society today released new screening recommendations for the prevention and early detection of cervical cancer. Screenings are tests for women who have no symptoms of cervical cancer. Among the changes: the American Cancer Society
I'm differently sporty with my disabled son (Disability Dads series)
In our final Disability Dads blog entry for the present, James Melville-Ross writes how he and his wife had to have fertility treatment to conceive. But the life and parenthood they worked so hard to achieve didn't turn out the way they had planned.
The latest research into Australia's obesity epidemic shows losing weight could be harder for people whose mothers were overweight not only during pregnancy, but also when they were conceived. Newcastle University's Vice-Chancellor, Caroline McMillen
Cell Phone Use in Pregnancy May Cause Behavioral Disorders in Offspring, Mouse Study Suggests
Exposure to radiation from cell phones during pregnancy affects the brain development of offspring, potentially leading to hyperactivity, Yale School of Medicine researchers have determined.
Fatty Diets May Be Associated With Reduced Semen Quality
The study of 99 men in the USA found an association between a high total fat intake and lower total sperm count and concentration. It also found that men who ate more omega-3 polyunsaturated fats (the type of fat often found in fish and plant oils) h
