ObjectiveThe present meta-analysis aimed to evaluate whether the freeze-all strategy (Freeze/All-ET) could bring about improvements in the clinical assisted reproductive technique (ART) outcomes when compared with the fresh embryo transfer …
ObjectiveKPIs have been employed for internal quality control (IQC) in ART. However, clinical KPIs (C-KPIs) such as age, AMH and number of oocytes collected are never added to laboratory KPIs (L-KPIs), such as fertilization rate and morphol…
It's known that the members of the TP53 family are involved in the regulation of female reproduction. Studies in mice showed that the TP73 gene (member of this family) plays a role in the size of follicular pool, ovulation rate and maintena…
BackgroundThe objective was to present a new ovarian response prediction index (ORPI), which was based on anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels, antral follicle count (AFC) and age, and to verify whether it could be a reliable predictor of th…
BackgroundThe selection of developmentally competent human gametes may increase the efficiency of assisted reproduction. Spermatozoa and oocytes are usually assessed according to morphological criteria. Oocyte morphology can be affected by …
BackgroundAlthough the motile sperm organelle morphology examination (MSOME) was developed merely as a selection criterion, its application as a method for classifying sperm morphology may represent an improvement in the evaluation of semen…
Purposeto compare the efficacy of recombinant LH supplementation for controlled ovarian stimulation in recombinant FSH and GnRH-agonist protocol.MethodsSearch strategies included on-line surveys of databases. The fixed effects model was use…
PurposeThe objective of the present investigation was to determine implantation and pregnancy rates in patients undergoing ICSI and treated with beta2-adrenergic agonists, considering the uterine-relaxing action of these agents.MethodsA tot…
The objective of this work was to evaluate the results obtained with a protocol of semi-programmed ovarian stimulation (low-dose contraceptive pill+clomiphene citrate+human menopausal gonadotrophin+dexamethasone) used as the first-choice me…
