Whether embryo morphokinetic quality influences the clinical efficacy of different embryo transfer (ET) strategies in good prognosis ICSI/IVF cycles remains an open question. This study evaluated the impact of early morphokinetic selection …
INTRODUCTION: Several studies indicate that a specific genotype profile could influence ovarian sensitivity to exogenous gonadotropin. However, most of the previous studies were observational and retrospective and thereby more prone to bias…
Abstract Study question Is endometriosis associated with poorer embryo quality as assessed by fertilization and cleavage morpkokinetics? Summary answer Endometriosis is negatively associated with embryo quality as assessed by fertilization …
PURPOSE: To assess the effects of oocyte central granularity and its underlying endocrine environment on developmental competence of dysmorphic and morphologically normal oocytes. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study including 1,082 patient…
BACKGROUND: The addition of a GnRH analogue to the luteal phase in in vitro fertilization programs has been seldom proposed due to the presence of GnRH receptors in the endometrium. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of triptor…
PURPOSE: To assess the effect of body mass index (BMI) on morphokinetic parameters of human embryos evaluated with time-lapse technology during in vitro culture. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of ART cycles utilizing time-lapse technolo…
PURPOSES: The aim of this study is to determine whether a clinical advantage is gained with use of LH in combination with FSH or as a component of human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) to achieve optimal ovarian stimulation. METHODS: In this…
PURPOSE: In in vitro maturation (IVM) cycles primed with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), both immature and mature oocytes are retrieved from antral follicles sized 8-12 mm. Using time-lapse microscopy, we compared the morphokinetic beha…
PURPOSE: The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the competence of oocytes obtained from preovulatory and antral follicles. METHODS: Mature oocytes from preovulatory follicles were retrieved from women selected for standard IVF …
PURPOSE: To assess retrospectively the developmental potential of different types of cumulus cell-oocyte complexes (COCs) derived from IVM cycles. METHODS: IVM cycles were performed in natural cycles or after HCG, FSH, or FSH/HCG priming. …
BACKGROUND: During the last years, several studies have reported the significant relationship between the production of soluble HLA-G molecules (sHLA-G) by 48-72 hours early embryos and an increased implantation rate in IVF protocols. As co…
