Journal ArticleDOI
High fecundity rates following in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer in antiphospholipid antibody seropositive women treated with heparin and aspirin
Geoffrey Sher,Michael Feinman,Christo Zouves,Gordon Kuttner,Ghanima Maassarani,Rifaat Salem,William Matzner,Wendell Ching,Penny Chong +8 more
TL;DR: All women undergoing IVF/embryo transfer should be tested for APA prior to initiating ovarian stimulation and those with APA seropositivity should be treated with H/A, the possibility that women diagnosed with organic pelvic disease who demonstrated antiphospholipid antibodies (APA) could benefit fromH/A administration in a similar manner to that used in patients with recurrent pregnancy loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis significantly reduces pregnancy loss in infertile couples : a multicenter study
TL;DR: It is suggested that PGD significantly reduces the risk of spontaneous abortions in women undergoing IVF and PGD, particularly in women over 40, and in addition, PGD may also reduce therisk of trisomic offspring.
Journal ArticleDOI
One hundred mosaic embryos transferred prospectively in a single clinic: exploring when and why they result in healthy pregnancies.
Andrea R. Victor,Jack C. Tyndall,Alan Brake,Laura T. Lepkowsky,Alex E. Murphy,Darren K. Griffin,Rajiv C. McCoy,Frank L. Barnes,Christo Zouves,Manuel Viotti +9 more
TL;DR: After euploid embryos, mosaic embryos can be considered for transfer, prioritizing those of the single segmental mosaic type, and preference should be given to those made at younger ages.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of embryo quality on subsequent pregnancy rates after in vitro fertilization
Mithat Erenus,Christo Zouves,Pathma Rajamahendran,Susanne Leung,Margo R. Fluker,Victor Gomel +5 more
TL;DR: The transfer of more than two good quality embryos had a positive effect, patient's age had a negative effect on PRs after IVF-ET, to determine if a simple morphological classification of embryos was predictive of subsequent pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accurate quantitation of mitochondrial DNA reveals uniform levels in human blastocysts irrespective of ploidy, age, or implantation potential
Andrea R. Victor,Alan Brake,Jack C. Tyndall,Darren K. Griffin,Christo Zouves,Frank L. Barnes,Manuel Viotti +6 more
TL;DR: Overall levels of mtDNA are largely equal between blastocysts stratified by ploidy, age, or implantation potential, and the correction factor calculation is recommended to laboratories evaluating mtDNA levels in embryos by NGS or qPCR.
