BACKGROUND
With improved prospects for the use of human oocyte in-vitro maturation in assisted reproductive technologies, the need to define more clearly the coordination of nuclear and cytoplasmic… (More)
Standardization of morphologic assessment for an embryo grading system was developed and is being implemented by the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART). A recent European consensus… (More)
OBJECTIVE
To select patients for day 3 vs. day 5 embryo transfer.
DESIGN
Retrospective analysis of assisted reproduction technology (ART) cycles comparing outcomes of day 3 and day 5 transfers.

BACKGROUND
Although several factors have been identified to predispose to an increased incidence of monozygotic twinning in assisted reproductive technologies (ART), the relative risks associated… (More)
OBJECTIVE
To compare in vitro maturation of cumulus-free oocytes in glucose-free medium (P1) and standard medium (TC199).
DESIGN
Prospective, cohort study.
SETTING
Assisted reproductive… (More)
Purpose: To examine the rate of monozygotic twinning associatedwith blastocyst transfer using commercially available,cell-free culture systems with unmanipulated blastocysts. Methods: A retrospective… (More)
OBJECTIVE
To estimate the effect of body mass index (BMI) on oocyte and embryo parameters and cycle outcomes in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF).
METHODS
We evaluated a retrospective… (More)
BACKGROUND
Infants conceived from IVF are at increased risk for low birthweight. Animal studies suggest that embryo culture medium influences birthweight but it is unknown whether this association… (More)
To investigate 24 h in vitro maturation (IVM) of cumulus-stripped immature oocytes from stimulated cycles. 263 oocytes identified as immature after cumulus stripping for ICSI were subjected to in… (More)
BACKGROUND
Time-lapse monitoring (TLM) has emerged as a novel technology to perform semi-quantitative evaluation of embryo morphology and developmental kinetics in assisted reproduction. While this… (More)
