Journal ArticleDOI
Impairment of the hatching process following IVF in the human and improvement of implantation by assisting hatching using micromanipulation.
Jacques Cohen,Carlene W. Elsner,Hilton Kort,Henry E. Malter,Joe B. Massey,Mary Pat Mayer,Klaus Wiemer +6 more
Journal ArticleDOI
Partial zona dissection of human oocytes when failure of zona pellucida penetration is anticipated
TL;DR: Partial zona dissection (PZD) of human oocytes facilitates sperm penetration through mechanically made holes in the zona pellucida, which was advantageous in oligozoospermic patients, but not in cases of asthenozoospermia, combined semen problems or immunological infertility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observations on the morphology of pronuclei and nucleoli in human zygotes and implications for cryopreservation
Graham Wright,Sharon R. Wiker,Carlene W. Elsner,Hilton Kort,Joe B. Massey,Dorothy Mitchell,A.A. Toledo,Jacques Cohen +7 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that zygote cryopreservation should be initiated when pronuclear migration is completed, and this moment can be determined accurately by studying pronuclear association and nucleolar alignment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cryopreservation of zygotes and early cleaved human embryos.
Jacques Cohen,Gary W. DeVane,Carlene W. Elsner,Carole B. Fehilly,Hilton Kort,Joe B. Massey,Thomas G. Turner +6 more
TL;DR: This method will result in two to four times more pregnancies per spare embryo, compared with other cryopreservation methods using older embryos, when the current policy of replacing three fresh embryos and freezing the remainder using this technique is applied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Embryonic platelet-activating factor: an indicator of embryo viability
William E. Roudebush,J.D. Wininger,Amy Jones,Graham Wright,A.A. Toledo,Hilton Kort,J.B. Massey,Daniel B. Shapiro +7 more
TL;DR: As embryonic PAF levels increase so does the corresponding pregnancy rate, therefore, PAF may be used as an indicator of embryo viability and for predicting pregnancy outcome.
