Clinical trials: Sperm Selection
Fertility Issues
The Combination of Sperm Selection by IMSI and Hyaluronic Acid Binding Assay May Improve ICSI Outcome.
In this prospective randomized sibling-oocytes blinded study, investigators examine the combination of two sperm selection methods that logically seem to complete each other, and potentially may improve ICSI outcomes.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection, Infertility, Male
Outcome of Using Sperm Bound to the Zona Pellucida of Immature Oocytes for Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
In vivo, the zona pellucida (ZP) of the oocyte can bind to normally functional sperm. The ZP-sperm interaction is one of the final steps of natural selection during their journey in the female reproductive tract.

Does Flushing the Uterine Cavity With Follicular Fluid After Ovum Pick-up Improve Implantation Rates in ICSI Cycles?
Background: Traditionally during ovum pick-up in ICSI, we aspirate the follicles for oocyte retrieval but unfortunately we don't make use of the follicular fluid (FF) and we discard it in spite of the fact that this does not…
