introduction: the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities was investigated in untransfered embryos reuslted from in vitro fertilization (ivf) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) procedures. materials and methods: a total of 238 embryos of varying morphology between the pronucleated stage and 8-cells were analysed. the cytogenetic method of dyban was used for chromosome preparation. embryo...

Introduction: Information Technology (IT), due to its high capacity in production, processing and distribution of knowledge, is of a great sensitivity. That is due to the fact that data and the way they are transferred and processed are essential for organization. Therefore, the present research was conducted aiming to investigate the feasibility of implementing IT capabilities in Bandar Abbas ...

Background For patients with severe endometriosis,the spontaneous pregnancy rates have been reported to be near 0 due to extreme distortion of normal pelvic anatomy.Surgery is one of the treatment options;however.f,patients failed to conceive after surgerY,in vitro fertilization(IVF)Is effective.The objective of this retrospective study was to determine the clinicaI characteristics of IVF/intra...

In this study, we compared the fertilization rate and embryo quality after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) as they relate to oocyte morphology. A total of 654 ICSI cycles yielding 5903 metaphase II oocytes were observed. The oocytes retrieved in these cycles were divided into (i) normal oocytes, (ii) oocytes with extracytoplasmic abnormalities (dark zona pellucida and large perivitellin...

The aim of this work is to study the effect of the vitrification procedure on prenatal survival and on placental development at the end of gestation in rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). One hundred eighty-one females were slaughtered at 72 h of gestation. Morphologically normal embryos recovered at 72 h of gestation were kept at room temperature until transfer or vitrification. Vitrified embryos...

The objective of this study was to assess whether the exposure of zona pellucida-intact bovine embryos to the proteolytic enzyme, trypsin, during embryo washing has a detrimental effect on their subsequent survival and development. Embryos were collected nonsurgically from superovulated cows (n = 19) 7.5 d after insemination. Grade 1 and Grade 2 embryos were washed 12 times in modified Dulbecco...
