background: recently, motile sperm organelle morphology examination (msome) criteria as a new real time tool for evaluation of spermatozoa in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) cycles has been considered. objective: the aim was to investigate the predictive value of msome in in vitro fertilization (ivf) in comparison to icsi cycles and evaluation of the association between msome parameters...

purpose: to assess whether bromocriptine-rebound method (brm) can improve pregnancy   outcomes compared to long protocol after intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles (icsis).   materials and methods: a total of 114 women underwent icsi. pregnancy outcomes and   hormonal data were compared between two groups, i.e. long protocol and brm. ovulatory   women with normal serum prolactin levels were ...

OBJECTIVE To determine if strict morphology correlates with outcome parameters in couples undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). DESIGN Retrospective review. SETTING Academic nonprofit IVF center. PATIENT(S) Couples undergoing IVF/ICSI. INTERVENTION(S) In vitro fertilization and ICSI. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Samples were evaluated for total sperm count, motlity, progressi...

BACKGROUND Cryptozoospermia (CO) is a situation in which spermatozoa cannot be observed in a fresh semen sample unless an extended centrifugation and microscopic search are performed. CO patients are suggested to use only intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) as infertility treatment. But still there is debate about the choice of sperm source in cryptozoospermic men candidate for ICSI. OBJE...

Objective The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of couple`s obesity simultaneously on in-vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) outcomes. MaterialsAndMethods This cross-sectional study was performed in Royan institute between January 2013 and January 2014. The recorded data of all patients during this time period were evaluated. The study population was ...

There is now considerable discussion whether intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) should be used in all cases of IVF. A critical and balanced view of the current literature is presented. The difficult question is how to identify men with apparently normal semen who are likely to fail to achieve a pregnancy using IVF. In conclusion, from both the safety and scientific viewpoint, ICSI should o...

sperm chromatin integrity has been being recognized as an important factor in male fertility. during normal fertilization, high quality sperm with intact chromatin are selected through natural selection in journey from vagina to fallopian tube. however, using assisted reproductive techniques, particularly icsi, the natural selection is bypassed. therefore sperm with dna breakage have the opport...

Globozoospermia syndrome is a rare teratozoospermia with an incidence below 0.1%. Presence of 100% round sperm heads, absence of acrosome, and messy sperm body and tail are the main characteristics of this syndrome. The activation ability of oocytes and consequently the fertilization rate decrease due to the absence of acrosome. The pathogenesis of this syndrome is not clear [1-2]. Globozoosper...

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is more being used for non-male factor indications, although it was developed overcoming infertility of males because pregnancy rate in vitro fertilization still < 40%. This work aims at evaluating the injecting cycle fertilization/ efficiency infertile women and factors that predicting clinical rate. Al-Nahrain University High Institute Infertility Diagnosis...

BACKGROUND Generally, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) may be the preferable method to treat partial globozoospermia, but whether there exist some correlations between ICSI fertilization rate and the proportion of round-headed sperm or morphologically normal sperm remains open. This study was to explore the correlation between ICSI fertilization rate and the sperm morphology in patients ...
