sperm dna is known to contribute one half of the genomic material to the offspring. the integrity of sperm dna is important in fertilization, embryonic and fetal development, and postnatal child well being. the nature has created multiple barriers that allow only the fittest sperm to reach and fertilize an oocyte. however, assisted reproductive techniques (art), like ivf and icsi, may allow spe...

Now-a-days the assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are progressing and advancing rapidly. Many reproductive medicine specialists do believe in ART to be the first choice for infertile women regardless of age related issues while gynecologists do believe in reproductive surgery as basic treatment option for these patients. Debate is still unsolved between reproductive surgery or ART which i...

BACKGROUND The role of ovarian reserve markers as predictors of the controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) response in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles in women with endometriosis has been much debated. The aim of the present study is to assess the predictability of ovarian reserve markers for the number of mature oocytes (MII) retrieved and to assess the pregnancy rate and live bir...

Velazquez MA. Assisted Reproductive Technologies in Cattle: Applications in Livestock Production, Biomedical Research and Conservation Biology. ARBS Annu Rev Biomed Sci 2008;10:36-62. In cattle, assisted reproductive technologies (ART) can be defined as techniques that manipulate reproductive-related events and/or structures to achieve pregnancy with the final goal of producing healthy offsprin...

Objective It is thought that mothers who conceive via assisted reproductive technology (ART) may be at greater risk of postpartum depression (PPD) because of the problems and psychological stresses associated with ART treatment. The aim of the present study is to determine the occurrence of PPD among mothers conceiving via ART in comparison with mothers naturally conceiving, using Edinburgh Pos...

Infertility is the inability of couples to achieve pregnancy within one year regular unprotected sexual intercourse. It affects around 8 12% reproductive-aged globally, with one-third cases caused by male issues, female and a combination both or unknown factors.

Despite a record of 5 million IVF babies born in the world, the treatment of infertility by effective methods remains largely the preserve of developed countries [1]. Most infections causing tubal damage are preventable, and assisted conception can treat the infertility. However, assisted conception, despite being available for nearly three decades, is either unavailable or inaccessible to most...

background: there is an upward trend for parents to resort to assisted reproductive technology (art) treatment due to delayed childbirth or birth difficulties. objective: this study investigates the pregnancy health and birth outcomes of women who underwent art and analyzes the factors that influence birth weight to become<10 percentile when undergoing art. materials and methods: this study ana...

Background The purpose of this prospective randomized study was to compare ovarian response as well as oocytes embryo yields and pregnancy rates in women who underwent ovulation induction for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with recombinant human FSH (rFSH) alone or in combination with human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG). MaterialsAndMethods Out of 300 patients in assisted reproductive ...
