The effect of Caulerpa sertularioides extract on bull sperm freezablity and subsequent embryo development.

Artificial insemination is a valuable and essential tool in genetic improvement programs, and its success requires proper semen collection, freezing, and thawing procedures. Nowadays, despite applying of advanced protocols for semen cryopreservation, post-thawing sperm quantitative and qualitative parameters are not satisfactorily comparable to fresh sperm. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of the supplementation of an alcoholic extract of Caulerpa sertolarioides alga into the tris-egg yolk-based Simmental bull sperm freezing media.

The efficacy of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GNRH) agonist before frozen embryo transfer in improving pregnancy outcome and decreasing miscarriage rate in hyperandrogenic polycystic ovary syndrome women: a randomized clinical trial.

Background: The hyper androgenic status is a major complication of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) that deteriorates endometrial function and increases miscarriage rate. This study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of GnRH agonist before frozen-thawed embryo transfer in improving pregnancy outcome in infertile women with PCOS.

Methods: This single-blind, randomized controlled trial was performed at Dr Shariati hospital and Omid Fertility Clinic in Tehran, Iran.

Growth Hormone (GH) Improvement of Ovarian Responses and Pregnancy Outcome in Poor Ovarian Responders: A Randomized Study.

Recent evidence has emphasized growth hormone benefits in increasing the ovarian response and improving the pregnancy rate in poor responders (POR), caused by aging, ovarian surgery, chemotherapy and other reasons, undergoing IVF/ICSI. The most important factor in the treatment of POR patients is the quality and quantity of oocytes following ovarian stimulation; thus, efforts should be made to provide opportunities for young patients to improve their fertility and ovarian responses. The use of GH in these patients may offer a promising aid to successful fertility.

Optimization of toxic biological compound adsorption from aqueous solution onto Silicon and Silicon carbide nanoparticles through response surface methodology.

The subject of this paper is removal of Aflatoxin B as toxic biological compound adsorption onto Silicon (Si) and Silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles in aqueous matrices using Response surface methodology. The surface frame of Si and SiC nanoparticles were comminuted by XRD, TEM, SEM, and BET. Experiments were steered well-found by Box-Behnken plan (BBD).
