RESEARCH QUESTION: How does the number of oocytes used affect the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) in endometriosis patients who had their oocytes vitrified for fertility preservation? DESIGN: Retrospective observational study including d…
Growing evidence of successful outcomes achieved with the oocyte vitrification technique has greatly contributed to its application in the field of fertility preservation (FP). The population that can benefit from FP includes women at a ris…
OBJECTIVE: To describe the outcome of fertility preservation (FP) using vitrified oocytes in patients with endometriosis and to determine the impact of ovarian surgery. DESIGN: Retrospective observational study. SETTING: University-affili…
OBJECTIVE: To report the use of cumulative live-birth rates (CLBRs) per ovarian stimulation cycle to measure the success of IVF is proving to be the most accurate method for advising couples who failed to conceive, although the accuracy yie…
PURPOSE: To catalogue Gene Ontology terms in the sperm of infertile human males vs. donors of proven fertility by analyzing five samples from each of the two groups (five aliquots from fresh sperm and five post-swim-up). METHODS: Microarra…
OBJECTIVE: To provide a summary of the actual knowledge about the clinical factors affecting the oocyte recipient (other than those associated with uterine cavity abnormalities) on the outcome of oocyte donation cycles. DESIGN: Review of t…
PURPOSE: To study if second day intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) results in chromosomal abnormalities in the embryos. METHODS: Rescue ICSI was performed on 14 metaphase II (MII) oocytes after unsuccessful conventional IVF, four were…
Prospective and retrospective clinical trials suggest a decreased oocyte and embryo quality in women with endometriosis. Based on these observations, the authors described an altered intrafollicular milieu in endometriosis, which explains t…
Although numerous studies have attempted to elucidate the implication of endometriosis for infertility, this matter still remains unexplained. Diverse clinical approaches based on assisted reproduction techniques have produced conflicting r…
