Comparison of the outcomes of patients with non-male factor infertility and poor ovarian response undergoing in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection [PDF]
Objectives To investigate whether intracytoplasmic sperm injection can achieve better embryonic and clinical outcomes compared with in vitro fertilization in women with non-male factor infertility and poor ovarian response.

Successful pregnancy with intracytoplasmic sperm injection after bacterial contamination of embryo culture in in vitro fertilization: a case report [PDF]
Background Bacterial infection of embryo culture medium is rare but may be detrimental. The main source of embryo culture contamination is semen. Assisted reproduction centers currently lack consensus regarding the methods for preventing and managing ...

Oocyte activation: The impact of calcium signals on fertilization [PDF]
Fertilization is triggered by changes in intracellular calcium concentration. In mammals, these transients in ooplasmic calcium concentration take the form of repetitive spikes, so called calcium oscillations (Ca2+-oscillations).

Intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection versus conventional intracytoplasmic sperm injection: A randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Background: Intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection (IMSI) is still proposed and employed in the clinical practice to improve the reproductive outcome in infertile couples scheduled for conventional intracytoplasmic sperm injection ...

Hysteroscopy for treating subfertility associated with suspected major uterine cavity abnormalities [PDF]
Background : Observational studies suggest higher pregnancy rates after the hysteroscopic removal of endometrial polyps, submucous fibroids, uterine septum or intrauterine adhesions, which are detectable in 10% to 15% of women seeking treatment for ...

Telomere lengths in human oocytes, cleavage stage embryos and blastocysts [PDF]
Telomeres are repeated sequences that protect the ends of chromosomes and harbour DNA-repair proteins. Telomeres shorten during each cell division in the absence of telomerase.

Fertilization and early embryology: The chromosomal complements of multipronuclear human zygotes resulting from intracytoplasmic sperm injection [PDF]
Implementation of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in human in-vitro fertilization (IVF) has highlighted the need for information about the risk of nuclear spindle damage caused by this procedure.
