Filter by:It has been proposed that enriching transfer media with hyaluronan (EmbryoGlue medium) improves pregnancy outcomes compared with media containing lower concentrations of this molecule. However, none of previous studies included preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) embryos. In order to investigate the impact of this hyaluronan-enriched on pregnancy outcomes, it is essential to evaluate its efficacy on euploid-only embryo transfers. The aim of the present study is to evaluate whether a short period of exposure of euploid blastocysts to EmbryoGlue prior to and during transfer positively impact on pregnancy outcomes of frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles.
This is a monocentric, retrospective, non-interventional study. The main objective is to describe the populations requesting assisted reproductive techniques (ART) with sperm donation ; and compare them between groups depending on their parental project.. The secondary objectives are to describe the center support process in the context of ART with sperm donation, to determine the initial/final orientation of support and the time to care The statistical analysis will be carried out to compare these parameters between groups depending on their parental project The study is taking place in the reproductive medicine department of the regional university hospital centre in Nancy.
ABSTRACT This study is a comparison of the impact of virtual reality on surgical handwashing and sterile dressing knowledge, skills, satisfaction, and confidence in nursing students enrolled in surgical nursing, as opposed to conventional teaching methods. Keywords: Virtual reality, surgical nursing education, surgical handwashing and sterile dressing skills, scenario-based education, three-dimensional video education.
This observational study aims to investigate the presence of HPV DNA in semen samples from men undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment. It focuses on understanding the impact of HPV on male fertility and embryo development following IVF/ICSI. The primary goal is to determine the prevalence of HPV-positive (HPV+) semen samples among men seeking infertility treatment with IVF/ICSI. Additionally, the study aims to compare semen characteristics between HPV-positive and HPV-negative (HPV-) samples and assess the embryological outcomes after IVF/ICSI in these two groups. Participants in this study will include men receiving IVF/ICSI treatment and providing fresh ejaculated sperm at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden, over one year. Those undergoing treatments with surgically extracted sperm, sperm freezing for fertility preservation, or planning treatments involving preimplantation genetic testing or egg donation will be excluded. The study will involve analyzing HPV DNA in semen samples through PCR, utilizing the most effective method for HPV DNA detection previously identified in a pilot study. Sperm samples collected during infertility investigations and IVF/ICSI treatments will undergo gradient centrifugation to separate different components. A portion of the sperm sample will be preserved for PCR analysis to detect HPV DNA, while the rest will be used for IVF/ICSI procedures. The results from the PCR analyses will be correlated with semen characteristics and the outcomes of IVF/ICSI treatment. Furthermore, the samples will be stored for potential future analyses related to HPV-related biomarkers for up to 5 years at Biobank.
In this prospective randomized sibling-oocytes blinded study, investigators examine the combination of two sperm selection methods that logically seem to complete each other, and potentially may improve ICSI outcomes. The methods include the selection of the optimal spermatozoa based on its morphology by IMSI, together with its physiological function of binding to HA by Spermslow (SS). The current study compared a group of ET after sperm selection by IMSI with SS to a group of ET after sperm selection by IMSI-only without SS, and to a mixed ET group where two embryos were transferred, one after IMSI-only and the other one after IMSI with SS.
The purpose of this study is to understand the underlying mechanisms of infertility caused by unknown factors. The investigator propose to identify small non-coding RNA (sncRNA) biomarkers of infertility and advance towards developing a more accurate and robust approach for infertility diagnosis.
The project aims to create a large prospective data bank using the Lucy medical mobile application and collect and analyze patient profiles and structured clinical data with artificial intelligence. In addition, authors will investigate the association of removed or restricted dietary components with quality of life, pain, and central sensitization.
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy double trigger [ co-administration of GnRH agonist with HCG 40 and 34 h prior to ovum pick-up, respectively] with HCG trigger in inducing oocyte maturation.
This single centre interventional pilot randomized control study intends to compare two methods of sperm preparation for couples referred for Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI) procedure. Couples will be randomly allocated to one of the two sperm selection methods: Density Gradient Centrifugation (DGC, standard) or ZyMōt Multi (850µL) device (treatment) groups. The study will compare the live birth rate (number of live births per number of IUI procedures) between the treatment and standard groups.
The GETSET trial is a prospective randomized trial designed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of incorporating preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) in elective single embryo transfer in women between 35 and 40 years of age.
