Does the use of microfluidic sperm sorting for the sperm selection improve in vitro fertilization success rates in male factor infertility?

Aim: To evaluate the clinical outcome of assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles in couple with male infertility, where the spermatozoa were selected using either a conventional gradient-density centrifugation technique or microfluidic sperm sorting.

Methods: A total of 181 patients who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) because of male factor infertility at the IVF center of Bezmialem and Yeditepe University Hospital were included in this study. All patients were divided into two groups according to the sperm selection method: group I (n = 91): microfluidic sperm-sorting chip; group II (n = 90): density-gradient centrifugation.

2-D and 3-D ultrasonographic characteristics of the ovary in women with PCOS and multifollicular ovaries.

In this prospective study, seventy-six patients (PCOS group; n = 36, multifollicular ovary group; n = 40) were evaluated by 2-D and 3-D ultrasonography. VOCAL programme, echogenicity, number of follicles and blood flow parameters were evaluated. The patients with PCOS had a higher total ovarian volume, mean stromal volume and stromal echogenicity (18.

Hydrosonographic Assessment of the Effect of Two Different Suture Materials on Healing of the Uterine Scar after Cesarean Delivery: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effects of two different suture materials, monofilament synthetic absorbable sutures versus multifilament synthetic absorbable sutures, on healing the uterine scar after a cesarean delivery.

Methods: A total of 95 women between the ages of 18 and 40 who had undergone a primary cesarean section (CS) after the 38 week of gestation. In Group I (n=48), continuous double-layer unlocked closure of the low transverse uterine incision was performed using monofilament synthetic absorbable sutures.

Less Blood Loss by Earlier Oxytocin Infusion in Cesarean Sections? A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: The aim of our study was to evaluate the positive effect of starting an IV oxytocin infusion early before uterine incision on intraoperative blood loss.

Methods: A total of 101 women between 18-40 years who underwent a primary elective cesarean section (CS) were included in this randomized controlled trial. The patients were divided into two groups.

One step versus two step approach for gestational diabetes screening: systematic review and meta-analysis of the randomized trials.

Introduction: To compare both the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) as well as maternal and neonatal outcomes by either the one-step or the two-step approaches.

Material And Methods: Electronic databases were searched from their inception until June 2017. We included all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the one-step with the two-step approaches for the screening and diagnosis of GDM.
