ObjectiveFollicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is essential for folliculogenesis, acting through the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) that is present on the membrane of granulosa cells. Polymorphisms in the FSHR gene may lead to an…

Recently, a new technology known as the Noninvasive Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (niPGT-A) emerged, using cell-free DNA present in the spent culture media of human blastocysts. Unlike PGT-A, in which only trophectoderm cel…

ObjectiveTo evaluate whether or not one should use a new Protocol for Endometrial Receptivity Improvement (PRIMER) based on platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and granulocyte colony-stimulation factor (G-CSF) to enhance ongoing pregnancy rates in p…

JBRA assisted reproduction ·doi:10.5935/1518-0557.20170048

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…

JBRA assisted reproduction ·doi:10.5935/1518-0557.20140019

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether administration of progesterone on the day of oocyte retrieval may reverse accumulation of fluid in the endometrial cavity. METHODS: A total of 50 patients who underwent assisted reproductive technology (ART) …

Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/1477-7827-10-94

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…

Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/1477-7827-10-33

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 …

Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/1477-7827-10-44

BackgroundIt is not well established whether the increased number of leukocytes in the seminal fluid impairs the outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (ART). This investigation analysed the outcomes of the intracytoplasmic sperm inje…

Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/1477-7827-9-120

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…

Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/1477-7827-9-99

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to compare laboratory and clinical outcomes of intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection (IMSI) and conventional intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in couples with repeated implan…

Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/1477-7827-7-58

BackgroundSome studies have suggested that the suppression of endogenous LH secretion does not seem to affect the majority of patients who are undergoing assisted reproduction and stimulation with recombinant FSH (r-FSH). Other studies have…

Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-006-9095-4

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…

Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1023/b:jarg.0000013652.17193.38

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…
