background: smoking has negative effects on reproductive process. exposing to cigarette smoking (passive smoking) may exert some effects as the direct smoking. objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between ovarian response and passive smoking in women who underwent art cycles. materials and methods: one hundred-sixty patients who underwent icsi between 2000 and 2001 w...

The aim of this report has been evaluating protamine content and DNA integrity of two patients with globozoospermia undergoing Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). Semen analysis was carried out according to WHO criteria. Protamine deficiency and DNA fragmentation was assessed using Chromomycin A3 and sperm chromatin dispersion assay respectively. ICSI and chemical activation were carried ...

BACKGROUND It has been suggested in the literature that low-dose aspirin leads to an increased number of oocytes in IVF/ICSI as well as a higher pregnancy rate. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of daily administration of low-dose aspirin, compared with placebo, on pregnancy rate in IVF and ICSI. METHODS This study was a prospective, randomized, double-blind placebo c...

OBJECTIVE Many trials have evaluated the effects of aspirin in women undergoing IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment. These trials have generally shown inconclusive or inconsistent findings. We conducted a systematic review of trials of aspirin during IVF or ICSI treatment to generate more precise estimates of effects and attempt to explore the reasons for the inconsistencie...

Objective: This research was aimed to explore the role of interventional embolization in hydrosalpin resulting from In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer (IVF-ET). Methods: From 2013 to 2016, 130 patients were treated with IVF-ET in which 75 were treated with fallopian tube embolization followed by IVF-ET while others received IVF-ET without other treatments. Age, basal Estradiol (E2) valu...

background: the cryopreservation of human oocyte would make a significant contribution to infertility treatment, such as using it for oocyte donation and for patients a bout to lose ovarian function due to surgery or chemotherapy. despite of using standard freezing straws and cryovials or even open pulled straws, only a few successful pregnancies have been arisen from cryopreserved human oocyte...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to analyse the outcome of closed blastocyst vitrification of embryos biopsied at the cleavage stage. METHODS Vitrification of supernumerary blastocysts was performed using the closed CBS-VIT High Security straws. Warming cycles (n = 100) for patients with preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and/or aneuploidy screening in the fresh cycle were analysed. ...

This case report describes the birth of a healthy infant after cryopreservation of zygotes produced by in-vitro matured oocytes retrieved from an anovulatory woman with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). To initiate the treatment cycle, the patient received intravaginal progesterone at night for 10 days to induce a withdrawal bleed. Oocyte retrieval was performed on day 11 following a withdraw...

Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is defined as a implanted outside of the endometrial cavity and one leading causes maternal morbidity mortality during first trimester. There are several risk factors ectopic have been described especially following ART. However, prevalence varied slightly higher in pregnancies Several mechanisms EP Serial serum beta hCG pelvic sonographic screening facilitates early diag...
