Factors that affect sperm quality can include method of semen collection, conditions for capacitation and whether or not agglutination is present. Media and procedures for sperm washing can also impair or improve sperm function in assisted reproductive technologies. For example, the removal of seminal fluid through large volume washing is required to eliminate decapacitation activity of seminal...

Background: The evidence base for childbirth has been progressively developed and refined over several decades. Effective maternity care with least harm is optimal for childbearing women and newborns. High-quality systematic reviews of the best available research provide the most trustworthy knowledge about beneficial and harmful effects of health interventions. The aim of this study was to sum...

Background: Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) has been suggested as a marker of ovarian reserve and predictor of ovarian response to controlled ovarian hyper stimulation. The aim of this study is to determine the role of AMH in prediction of success ART cycles in patients with normal FSH serum levels. Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort study included 80 infertile women under 4o years, wh...

There are numerous approaches towards restoration of art, including computer applications as aid to manual performance. However, to our knowledge, it has not been attempted to recuperate high quality images of missing or presumably destroyed works of art. While these works will never again be available in their original form, it may be feasible to considerably enhance the quality of preserved p...

cumulative embryo score (ces) is one of the many embryo scoring methods which have been developed to help clinicians to transfer high quality embryos and predict pregnancy rate in assisted reproductive techniques (art) cycles. regarding the existing difference in ces calculation this study was done to compare two methods in order to determine the more practical and preferable one. in a retrospe...
