  2. 6. Ovarian Reserve and Assisted Reproduction

    Author : Thomas Brodin; Jan Holte; Matts Olovsson; Lars Berglund; Juha Tapanainen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; AFC; AMH; anti-Müllerian hormone; antral follicle count; follicle-stimulating hormone; FSH; ICSI; infertility; intracytoplasmic sperm injection; in vitro fertilization; IVF; LH; live birth; luteinizing hormone; menstrual cycle; menstrual cycle length; ovarian reserve; pregnancy; reproductive endocrinology; reproductive technology; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : Treatment success in IVF-ICSI is mainly limited by female age, but differences in ovarian reserve (OR; the remaining pool of oocytes and their quality) between individuals modify treatment prerequisites among women of similar age. OR may be assessed by OR tests (ORTs). READ MORE

  4. 7. Studies on genetic aberrations as possible predictors of the outcome of assisted reproduction

    Author : Mona Bungum; Malmö Reproduktionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; assisted reproduction; IUI; Sperm chromatin; ICSI; intra-individual variation; fertilisation failure genetic aberration; Protein C inhibitor gene; sperm DNA damage SCSA; IVF;

    Abstract : Traditionally, diagnosis of male infertility has relied upon microscopic assessment of semen. The normality criteria set by the World Health Organization (WHO) in regard to sperm concentration, motility and morphology are, however, poor predictors of fertility. READ MORE

  5. 8. Studies on in vitro fertilised human preembryos. Morphological and chromosomal aspects

    Author : Thorir Hardarson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : IVF; oocyte; embryo; blastocyst; human; FISH; aneuploidy;

    Abstract : The success rate of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) has gradually increased due to basic research in preembryonic biology and the introduction of new methods, both technical and medical. However, further research is needed to establish which preembryos are developmentally most competent in order to be able to maintain the pregnancy rate while only a single preembryo is being transferred.

  6. 9. Long-term outcome of children born after Assisted Reproductive Technology

    Author : Emma Norrman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Assisted reproductive technology; IVF; long-term outcome; children;

    Abstract : Background: While the short-term outcome after assisted reproductive technology (ART) is broadly examined, studies on the long-term outcome of ART children are limited. Aim: To examine the long-term outcome in children born after ART and study whether different ART techniques affect the outcome in the children differently. READ MORE

  7. 10. Prediction of embryo viability by morphology and metabolomic profiling

    Author : Aisling Ahlström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NIR spectroscopy; morphology; blastocyst; IVF; trophectoderm; live birth; metabolomic; embryo;

    Abstract : Abstract The ultimate challenge for all in vitro fertilisation (IVF) clinics is to develop the ability to select for transfer the best single embryo first, from the patient’s cohort of embryos, thereby maximising the chance of pregnancy while the incidence of multiple pregnancies is kept to a minimum and fewer transfer cycles are required. This ambition has driven extensive research and development into methods that can be used to predict embryo viability. READ MORE
