Using sibling oocytes, the objective of this study was to compare the intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) fertilization rates to those achieved with conventional IVF in patients with high rates of oocyte immaturity. This study was observational in nature, and included 91 patients who were treated using split insemination techniques. The fertilization rates for the ICSI group and the IVF group were 41.1 +/- 15.0% and 53.2 +/- 19.8%, respectively (P <: 0.0001). There was no significant difference in day-3 embryo quality between the two groups. There was a significantly higher number of embryos frozen in the IVF group than in the ICSI group: 357 (84.8%) and 297 (76.7%), respectively (P = 0.037). Furthermore, the number of embryos either transferred or frozen was significantly higher in the IVF group than the ICSI group: 459 of 1173 (39.1%) and 385 of 1268 (30.4%), respectively (P < 0.0001). These data indicate that conventional IVF results in a higher fertilization rate than ICSI. Furthermore, IVF provided more embryos available for transfer or cryopreservation when compared with ICSI, thereby optimizing the patient's cycle.

Sperm vitrification is an alternative freezing method, which includes high cooling rates and non-permeable cryoprotectants agents. The first attempt in equids was using the spheres technique by directly dropping small volumes of the sperm into liquid nitrogen. Later, vitrification was developed using 0.

Study Question: Does a human fallopian tube (HFT) organoid model offer a favourable apical environment for human sperm survival and motility?
Summary Answer: After differentiation, the apical compartment of a new HFT organoid model provides a favourable environment for sperm motility, which is better than commercial media.
What Is Known Already: HFTs are the site of major events that are crucial for achieving an ongoing pregnancy, such as gamete survival and competence, fertilization steps, and preimplantation embryo development. In order to better understand the tubal physiology and tubal factors involved in these reproductive functions, and to improve still suboptimal in vitro conditions for gamete preparation and embryo culture during IVF, we sought to develop an HFT organoid model from isolated adult stem cells to allow spermatozoa co-culture in the apical compartment.

Background: Whether localized surgical treatment has advantages over traditional hormone therapy for young women who desire to preserve their fertility and have Stage 1a and Grade 1 endometrial cancer.
Case Presentation: We present a case study of a patient who was diagnosed with endometrial cancer (Grade 1a, Stage 1) and was experiencing infertility. The patient underwent conservative surgical treatment and was able to successfully conceive through in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Introduction: The polyspermy rate is a quality control indicator in the embryology laboratory, and factors affecting polyspermy are of great interest. The gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol is currently the mainstream protocol in most reproductive centers. This study explored the factors influencing polyspermy in fertilization (IVF) using the GnRH antagonist protocol and considered corresponding improvement measures.

Research Question: Does a short co-incubation of gametes in conventional IVF affect post-insemination outcomes and embryo morphokinetics?
Design: Sibling oocyte randomized pilot study conducted between December 2020 and March 2023. Eligible couples (n = 55) were women aged 18-43 years with BMI 35 km/m or lower and male normal semen parameters. Cumulus oocyte complexes (COC) (six to 12) were randomized in a 1:1:2 proportion in long (16-18 h) or short (2 h) co-incubation IVF exposure and ICSI, respectively.
