Introduction The number of equine sperm used for artificial insemination (AI) in the mare was largely established by research conducted at Colorado State University in the 1970s [1-3]. The minimum insemination dose of 500 million progressively motile spermatozoa (PMS) established in these studies has been widely used as an industry standard. Clinical observations suggest that this insemination ...

Objective. Determine which factors predict multiple pregnancy in gonadotropin-intrauterine insemination cycles so that cancellation criteria might be developed. Study Design. Retrospective chart review of all patients undergoing gonadotropin-intrauterine insemination over a continuous 36 month period. Results. No factors examined were able to predict the occurrence of multiple pregnancy. Conclu...

OBJECTIVE To compare fecundity rates following intrauterine insemination (IUI) with donor sperm frozen conventionally versus an IUI-ready preparation. DESIGN Both retrospective results and a prospective, randomized study where recipients were assigned to one of two sperm cryopreservation methods in each cycle of intrauterine insemination are reported. SETTING University-based infertility pr...

A GROUP of dairymen in New Jersey organized in 1938 the first cooperative in the United States for the artificial insemination of their cows. This method of serving females without natural mating has since become one of the most significant programs for livestock improvement in the history of American agriculture. A great deal of research has been done on all phases. A basic contribution was th...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of 15 minutes of immobilisation versus immediate mobilisation after intrauterine insemination. DESIGN Randomised controlled trial. Setting One academic teaching hospital and six non-academic teaching hospitals. PARTICIPANTS Women having intrauterine insemination for unexplained, cervical factor, or male subfertility. INTERVENTIONS 15 minutes of immo...

OBJECTIVE To look at the level of compliance with Swedish law whether or not parents intend to tell their child about donor insemination. We also wanted to look at the parents' attitudes towards open-identity sperm donors and at relationships within the family. METHOD All parents who were treated and gave birth to a child through donor insemination from 1997 to 2003 were included in the study...

The cause of infertility is unexplained in about 22-28% of all infertile couples. The prognosis for spontaneous pregnancy in such couples is better than in those with diagnosed causes of infertility. Traditional treatment options in this group have included expectant management, clomifene citrate, intrauterine insemination with (super ovulation plus intrauterine insemination) or without (intrau...

INTRODUCTION The management of pregnancy in young women with essential thrombocythemia is complex and may present a difficult problem. An adverse pregnancy outcome due to thrombosis or bleeding is a common complication. in addition, little is known about fertility in these women prior to the disease. CASE OUTLINE We present the first case of a young woman with primary infertility and essentia...
