Purpose: To evaluate the prognostic significance of triploidy incidence on the outcomes of embryos derived from normally fertilized oocytes from the same cohort.
Methods: This study included 1500 ICSI cycles. Logistic regression models were used to study the influence of abnormal fertilization on the development and clinical outcomes of embryos derived from normally fertilized oocytes from the same cohort
Results: We observed a negative influence of the percentages of triploid zygotes on fertilization (75.2% and 56.8%, P < 0.0001), high-quality embryos (58.9% and 48.2%, P = 0.0001), pregnancy (34.1% and 28.2%, P = 0.0540) and implantation rates (20.0% and 13.3%, P = 0.0012). When the 3PN zygote rate was >25%, the percentages of normal fertilization, high-quality embryos and implantation rates were significantly lower than in the control group.
Conclusions: We observed an approximately 50% lower risk of pregnancy and a 3.5-fold higher risk of miscarriage in cycles with a 3PN incidence of >25%.

Rainbow trout () is a promising cultivable fish species with significant potential for expansion. As a cold-water fish belonging to the Salmonidae family, it requires an optimal temperature range of 10-15°C for optimal growth. This study explores a method for producing sterile rainbow trout with maximum survival rates by using heat shock treatment to enhance growth characteristics and improve aquaculture practices.

IVF laboratories routinely adopt morphological pronuclear assessment at the zygote stage to identify abnormally fertilized embryos deemed unsuitable for clinical use. In essence, this is a pseudo-genetic test for ploidy motivated by the notion that biparental diploidy is required for normal human life and abnormal ploidy will lead to either failed implantation, miscarriage, or significant pregnancy complications, including molar pregnancy and chorionic carcinoma. Here, we review the literature associated with ploidy assessment of human embryos derived from zygotes displaying a pronuclear configuration other than the canonical two, and the related pregnancy outcome following transfer.

Purpose: Are human embryos arising from two plus one small pronucleated zygotes, called 2.1 pronuclei (PN), clinically useful?
Methods: In a retrospective embryo cohort study and prospective experimental study, a total of 287 cycles in which at least one 2.1PN was identified in the fertilization check were included.

Hydatidiform moles are abnormal conceptuses. Many hydatidiform moles are diploid androgenetic, and of these, most are homozygous in all loci. Additionally, most hydatidiform moles are euploid.

Research Question: Does ejaculatory abstinence impact fertilization outcomes in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles in infertile couples?
Design: This single-centre retrospective observational study included 6919 ICSI cycles from 2013 to 2022. The primary outcome was the assessment of oocyte fertilization, measured in terms of the rate of formation of two-pronuclear (2PN), 3PN and 1PN zygotes. Secondary outcomes were blastulation, cumulative positive β-human chorionic gonadotrophin test and clinical pregnancy rates.
