BACKGROUND: We aimed to investigate whether sperm DNA quality may predict intrauterine insemination (IUI) outcome. METHODS: The study was designed in a prospective cohort fashion, at a tertiary centre for reproductive medicine. A total of 119 patients underwent 154 cycles of IUI. Parameters related to demography, cycle management and semen sample used for IUI were evaluated. Conventional semen parameters, morphology (strict criteria), sperm DNA fragmentation and stability [evaluated by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUDP nick-end labelling (TUNEL) and acridine orange staining under both acid and acid + heat denaturing conditions respectively] were measured. The main outcome measure was clinical pregnancy, defined …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist Ganirelix on gonadotropin ovulation induction (OI) in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, controlled study. SETTING: Academic infertility center. PATIENT(S): Ninety-eight anovulatory women with PCOS undergoing 154 gonadotropin OI cycles. INTERVENTION(S): Patients were treated with recombinant FSH alone (group 1) or in conjunction with Ganirelix when the leading follicle was >/=13 mm (group 2) versus from the beginning of stimulation (group 3), followed by IUI. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Per cycle clinical pregnancy rate (CPR), live-birth rate (LBR), total gonadotropin dose, days of stimulation, serum LH and peak …

To determine predictive values of routine semen analysis, sperm morphology evaluation using strict criteria and DNA status for in-vitro fertilization (IVF), 66 consecutive couples undergoing IVF in a university hospital IVF programme were prospectively investigated. Semen samples from 66 men were evaluated by routine semen analysis, morphology evaluation using strict criteria and acridine orange staining for determination of DNA status. A new technique is described for acridine orange scoring which consisted of evaluation of two smears per case, with and without heat treatment. Resistance to heat-provoked denaturation was determined by the difference between two evaluations. A logistic regression model was …
