Robotic ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 2011
This paper is the first report of robotic intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). ICSI is a clinical procedure performed worldwide in fertility clinics, requiring pick-up of a single sperm and insertion of it into an oocyte (i.e., egg cell). Since its invention 20 years ago, ICSI has been conducted manually by a handful of highly skilled embryologists;

Integrating Quality Management and Male Reproductive Health in Assisted Reproduction [PDF]

International Brazilian Journal of Urology
Quality management is essential to ensure consistent, safe, and effective outcomes in assisted reproductive technology (ART) centers. However, traditional quality assessments often overlook male infertility, which contributes to nearly half of all ...

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) [PDF]

Human Reproduction, 2000
IVF has become a well-established treatment for certain types of infertility, including long-standing infertility due to tubal disease, endometriosis, unexplained infertility or infertility involving a male factor. Soon it became clear that certain couples with severe male-factor infertility could not be helped by conventional IVF.

The Effects of Maternal and Paternal Body Mass Index on Live Birth Rate after Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Cycles [PDF]

International Journal of Fertility and Sterility, 2019
Background We designed the present study to evaluate the simultaneous effect of obesity in couples on in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) outcomes.

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection in Scandinavia [PDF]

Human Reproduction, 1996
Several Scandinavian clinics are now practising intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and our data largely resemble that published from the Brussels group (Van Steirteghem et ai., 1993). In recent meetings, Scandinavian workers have come to some mutual decisions: (i) not more than two embryos will be replaced; (ii) recombinant follicle stimulating ...

Paternal Age Does Not Influence the Outcomes of Assisted Reproduction in Donor Oocyte Cycles

Fertility & Reproduction, 2020
Purpose: To study effect of paternal age on pregnancy outcomes of intracytoplasmic sperm injections (ICSI). Methods: The present study is a retrospective analysis of 153 ICSI cycles on donor oocytes.

Delayed hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count syndrome in succession of switches of preventive anticoagulant treatment in a 41-year-old patient with a history of recurrent assisted implantation failures: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2019
Background For the past decades the mean age of primiparae in Western societies is constantly increasing. At the same time, there is a growing demand for assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm ...

Longitudinal surface measurements of human blastocysts show that the dynamics of blastocoel expansion are associated with fertilization method and ongoing pregnancy

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2022
Background Despite all research efforts during this era of novel time-lapse morphokinetic parameters, a morphological grading system is still routinely being used for embryo selection at the blastocyst stage.

Spatially Organized Human Ovarian Spheroids Instruct Endometrial Morphogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A spatially organized human follicle‐like spheroid (SPHEGaT) composed of granulosa cells (GCs) and stromal‐derived theca‐like cells (TLCs) establishes sustained steroidogenesis in vitro. When co‐cultured with human endometrial organoids (EMOs), estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4) exchange induces secretory/progesterone‐responsive differentiation ...

Oocyte–cumulus cell interaction: a key factor in early embryo development

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The evaluation of oocyte competence is a fundamental step in achieving successful outcomes following assisted reproduction techniques (ART). At present, however, conventional oocyte maturation assessment is carried out by morphological observation, which is a subjective method that does not consider molecular features.
