Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) into mouse oocytes involves a very low survival rate. This study was designed to determine why ICSI frequently fails in mice. Metaphase II oocytes were… (More)
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a promising assisted-fertilisation technique that may benefit women who have not become pregnant by in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) or subzonal insemination… (More)
Previously reported better fertilization rate after intracytoplasmic single sperm injection (ICSI) than after subzonal insemination of several spermatozoa was confirmed in a controlled comparison of… (More)
Chromosomally derived sterility has long been recognized. A review of the literature of somatic chromosome investigations in infertile males has shown that 13.7% of azoospermic males and 4.6% of… (More)
A simplified culture system was developed for the in-vitro maturation of early preantral mouse ovarian follicles. The follicles were cultured singly in 20 microliters droplets under oil in medium… (More)
OBJECTIVE
To determine the incidence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in a large series of GnRH antagonist-stimulated cycles and to assess the predictive value of E2 and the number of… (More)
Recovery of testicular spermatozoa from azoospermic patients with testicular failure followed by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a recent advance in the treatment of male infertility. This… (More)
BACKGROUND
Eliciting an endogenous LH surge by GnRH-agonist for the induction of final oocyte maturation may be more physiological compared with the administration of HCG. However, the efficacy of… (More)
OBJECTIVE
To assess the effect of altering the timing of hCG administration on ongoing pregnancy rates in patients stimulated with recombinant FSH (rec-FSH) and GnRH antagonists for IVF.
DESIGN… (More)
Four hundred eighty-two patients undergoing single ET with GnRH-antagonist/recFSH protocol were analyzed. The incidence of premature luteinization (P above 1.5 ng/mL on the day of hCG administration)… (More)
