Abstract Study question Is patients’ BMI associated with oocyte yield and maturation following different trigger strategies r-hCG, GnRH agonist (GnRHa) or dual trigger? Summary answer Patients’ is not triggering rhCG, GnRHa trigger. What known already Triggering final a key step of ovarian stimulation for IVF/ICSI treatment. Although hCG has traditionally been the gold standard maturation, incr...

Abstract Study question Standard-dose dual trigger (SDT) and low-dose (LDT) could improve the number of oocytes, blastocysts euploid or not compared with hCG trigger. Summary answer LDT increased oocytes but among high ovarian responders, while SDT cannot help poor to normal responders. What is known already For low was recommended by ESHRE guidelines for stimulation in vitro fertilization (IVF...

There has been a marked reduction in natural stocks of eels (genus Anguilla) over the past 60 years, and the culture of eels is still based on the capture of very large quantities of juveniles. It is necessary to close the life cycle in captivity in order to ease the pressure on wild populations. The aims of the present study were to evaluate sperm subpopulations (through cluster analysis of co...

THE FIELD OF TRANSPORT PHYSIOLOGY was fundamentally changed by the discovery of transport proteins that are specific for small neutral molecules such as urea, water, ammonia, and CO2. The identification of first urea transporters (12), then aquaporins or water channels (1), and most recently ammonia transporters (8) (that may also facilitate the movement of CO2), challenged the long-held view t...

Abstract Study question Is triggering necessary at 17 mm follicle diameter in a modified natural cycle (mNC), or does it allow flexible planning? Summary answer Embryo transfer can be scheduled when follicles measure 13 to 20 if endometrium is ready without impacting clinical outcome. What known already Current practice shifting, moving frozen embryo transfers (FET) from artificial cycles cycle...
