Sperm chromatin structure assay in prediction of in vitro fertilization outcome

Sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) parameters are related to fertilization, blastocyst development, and ongoing pregnancy in in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles.

OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) parameters (DNA fragmentation index [DFI] and high DNA stainability [HDS]), and conventional IVF and IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcomes. DESIGN Retrospective review and prospective study. SETTING Private IVF clinic. PATIENT(S) Two hundred forty-nine couples undergoing first IVF and/or ...

Predicting Implantation Outcome of In Vitro Fertilization and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Using Data Mining Techniques

Objective The main purpose of this article is to choose the best predictive model for IVF/ICSI classification and to calculate the probability of IVF/ICSI success for each couple using Artificial intelligence. Also, we aimed to find the most effective factors for prediction of ART success in infertile couples. MaterialsAndMethods In this cross-sectional study, the data of 486 patients are colle...

Relationship between Endometrial Thickness and In Vitro Fertilization-Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Outcome

Effect of gibberellic acid on the quality of sperm and in vitro fertilization outcome in adult male rats

Gibberellic acid (GA3) is a group of plant hormones identified in various plants. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of GA3 on sperm parameters and in vitro fertilization (IVF). Fifty six adult male rats were divided into seven groups as, control, treatment and sham. Following 15, 30 and 45 days of GA3 and methanol alcohol (MA) administration, rats were euthanized and e...
