Biotechnology has proceeded much further in cats than in canines, although the pregnancy rate after in vitro maturation (IVM), IVC and embryo transfer (ET) is still relatively low. The use of AI with frozen-thawed semen as a breeding tool to overcome breeding incompatibility or to preserve male genetic material has been limited in felines in contrast to the situation in domestic dogs and foxes....

background: to compare the pregnancy outcomes after two embryos versus three embryos transfers (ets) in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (ivf)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) cycles. materials and methods: this retrospective study was performed on three hundred eighty seven women with primary infertility and with at least one fresh embryo in good quality in order to transfer at e...

Objective A unique feature of embryo metabolism is production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). It is well established that during in vitro culture, ROS levels increase over normal ranges observed for embryos developed in vivo. This study evaluates and compares the stepwise pattern of ROS production during in vitro development of reconstructed goat embryos produced by zona-free method of somati...

In this retrospective study, we investigate the relationship between embryo arrest and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) during in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). In this study, 667 subjects were enrolled, including 330 patients with PCOS and 337 subjects without PCOS. The subjects underwent in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET) c...

Background: The role of embryo transfer (ET) in the success of in vitro fertilization/intra cytoplasmic sperm injection treatment is not well understood. In the present study we classified ET technique as difficult and easy types according to certain strict criteria, and compared the pregnancy outcome of the two ET types. Methods: This study was performed retrospectively on 295 infertile patien...

a study was conducted to investigate the effect of follicular size (small,

There are numerous studies concerning pregnancy rates in oocyte donation, yet only a handful report the obstetric outcome in such pregnancies. The purpose of this study was to assess factors that influence pregnancy rates, to determine the incidence of complications, and to evaluate obstetric outcome in pregnancies resulting from oocyte donation. This study included 423 oocyte recipients who un...
