Robotic Cell Micromanipulation Skill Learning via Imitation‐Enhanced Reinforcement Learning

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Humans can learn complex and dexterous manipulation tasks by observing videos, imitating and exploring. Multiple end‐effectors manipulation of free micron‐sized deformable cells is one of the challenging tasks in robotic micromanipulation. We propose an imitation‐enhanced reinforcement learning method inspired by the human learning process ...

Follicular and endocrine dose responses according to anti-Müllerian hormone levels in IVF patients treated with a novel human recombinant FSH (FE 999049) [PDF]

, 2015
Objective: To study the association between serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels and follicular development and endocrine responses induced by increasing doses (5.2-12.1 mu g/day) of a novel recombinant human FSH (rhFSH, FE 999049) in patients ...

Indications for intracytoplasmic sperm injection [PDF]

Human Reproduction, 1998
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is the latest of several microfertilization techniques that have been utilized predominantly to overcome severe male subfertility, giving fertilization and term pregnancy rates similar to conventional in-vitro fertilization (IVF) (but for other indications).

Male infertility in spinal cord trauma [PDF]

, 2005
Every year there are 10 thousand new cases of patients victimized by spinal cord trauma (SCT) in the United States and it is estimated that there are 7 thousand new cases in Brazil. Eighty percent of patients are fertile males.

One number to rule them all: The Wildlife Sperm Index for standardized gamete assessment

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract In wildlife conservation, breeding programmes focused on reintroduction are critical to recovering endangered species. Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) and biobanking play pivotal roles in these efforts but depend on high‐quality gametes.

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;

Effect of familial mediterranean fever on ivf outcome: a retrospective case series

Acta Clinica Croatica, 2016
Although the in vitro fertilization-intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ICSI) has been utilized widely, the management in patients with an autoimmune disease is still a challenge. The aim of this study was to demonstrate IVF-ICSI outcomes in infertile

Development of a nomogram for sperm retrieval at microTESE for idiopathic non‐obstructive azoospermia in a multi‐center cohort study

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Non‐obstructive azoospermia (NOA) affects approximately 10% of infertile men and represents a major challenge in assisted reproductive technology (ART). A model that includes histological variants could be helpful in predicting sperm retrieval rate (SRR) after microdissection testicular sperm extraction (mTESE) in patients affected ...
