7q Deletion/12q Duplication Is the Possible Cause of an Alobar Holoprosencephaly Case
(2017)Holoprosencephaly (HPE) spectrum disorder is the most common congenital malformation of the human brain with absence of or incomplete midline cleavage. Its cause is heterogenic, making genetic counseling a challenge. In ... -
Administration of low-molecular-weight heparin in patients with two or more unsuccessful IVF/ICSI cycles: a multicenter cohort study
(2018)To compare the effects of the administration of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) in subfertile patients with two or more unsuccessful IVF/ICSI cycles. In this six-center two-arm retrospective cohort study, the study ... -
Administration of prednisolone and low molecular weight heparin in patients with repeated implantation failures: a cohort study
(2018)Conflicting results exist for low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and prednisolone when tested as separate adjuncts for the improvement of the clinical outcomes in patients with repeated implantation failures (RIF) undergoing ... -
Artificial oocyte activation: physiological, pathophysiological and ethical aspects
(2019)Infertile couples with low oocyte yield in combination with abnormal semen parameters may experience intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) failure. An established factor associated with ICSI failure is oocyte activation ... -
An automated blastomere identification method for the evaluation of day 2 embryos during IVF/ICSI treatments
(2018)Purpose Evaluation of human embryos is one of the most important challenges in vitro fertilization (IVF) programs. The morphology and the morphokinetic parameters of the early cleaving embryo are of critical clinical ... -
Bioethics in human embryology: the double-edged sword of embryo research
(2022)There has been a significant increase in the use of assisted reproductive therapies (ARTs) over the past several decades, allowing many couples with infertility to conceive. Despite the achievements in this field, a mounting ... -
Corifollitropin alfa compared with follitropin beta in GnRH-antagonist ovarian stimulation protocols in an unselected population undergoing IVF/ICSI
(2017)Recombinant DNA technologies have produced Corifollitropin alfa (CFa) used during IVF/ICSI in order to keep the circulating FSH levels above the threshold necessary to support multi-follicular growth for a week. In this ... -
Cumulative pregnancy rate after ICSI with cryopreserved testicular tissue in non-obstructive azoospermia
(2005)The aim of the present study was to describe a simplified and inexpensive method of testicular tissue freezing to assess the cumulative clinical pregnancy rate (CPR) by this technique, and to provide useful information for ... -
The effect of diclofenac and paracetamol on pregnancy and implantation rates in infertile women undergoing IVF treatment
(2006)We set out to assess the effect of diclofenac on implantation rates, when administered as analgesia following transvaginal oocyte recovery. This was a prospective study of infertile women undergoing IVF treatment in a ... -
Embryological results of couples undergoing ICSI-ET treatments with males carrying the single nucleotide polymorphism rs175080 of the MLH3 gene
(2017)Human MLH3 (hMLH3) gene has been suggested to play a role in the DNA mismatch repair mechanism, while it may also be associated with abnormal spermatogenesis and subsequently male infertility. The aim of the present study ... -
Factors affecting outcome after ICSI with spermatozoa retrieved from cryopreserved testicular tissue in non-obstructive azoospermia
(2005)There is a lack of data regarding variables affecting the treatment outcome for non-obsructive azoospermia when spermatozoa from cryopreserved testicular specimens are utilized for ICSI. The objective of the present ... -
Mild versus conventional antagonist ovarian stimulation protocols in expected normal responders undergoing IVF/ICSI: a case–control study
(2017)Mild controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) protocols combining clomiphene citrate (CC) or letrozole with gonadotropins were introduced as an effective alternative of conventional COH in normal responders undergoing ... -
Mild versus conventional ovarian stimulation for poor responders undergoing IVF/ICSI
(2017)Background/Aim: Mild stimulation protocols have been implemented to be offered to subfertile patients who respond poorly to ovarian stimulation. We aimed to compare the efficacy of mild versus conventional gonadotropin-releasing ... -
Pregnancy prediction by free sperm DNA and sperm DNA fragmentation in semen specimens of IVF/ICSI-ET patients
(2016)Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of free sperm plasma DNA (f-spDNA) and sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF), in semen specimens from men undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic ... -
Single-nucleotide polymorphism rs 175080 in the MLH3 gene and its relation to male infertility
(2015)Purpose: MLH3, a MutL homolog protein in mammals playing a role in DNA mismatch repair, is associated with spermatogenesis and male infertility. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the association of the ... -
Sperm contributions to oocyte activation: more that meets the eye
(2016)It is well known that for successful fertilization, oocyte activation is required, which involves a signal transduction cascade leading to the conversion of the oocyte to a diploid embryo. During oocyte activation, ... -
Transdermal testosterone pretreatment in poor responders undergoing ICSI: A randomized clinical trial
(2016)STUDY QUESTION: Does pretreatment with transdermal testosterone increase the number of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) retrieved by more than 1.5 in poor responders undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), using ...
