TL;DR: The present results support the use of high-magnification sperm selection for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) using sperm nuclear vacuoles evaluated more precisely at high magnifications using motile sperm organelle morphology examination (MSOME).

TL;DR: Endometrial ultrasound in terms of pattern and thickness is of no prognostic value in IVF cycles on the day of administration of HCG, and the presence of pattern I appears more likely to favour pregnancy.

TL;DR: Regression analysis of 538 semen samples demonstrated that percentages of normal nuclear sperm and all spermatozoa with abnormalities of nuclear form at high magnification had significant negative correlation with percentages of DNA fragmentation.

TL;DR: IMSI does not provide a significant improvement in clinical outcome compared to ICSi, at least in couples with repeated implantation failures after conventional ICSI, and it should be noted that there were clear trends for lower miscarriage rates and higher rates of ongoing pregnancy and live births within the IMSI group.

TL;DR: IMSI had the same performance as conventional ICSI in terms of embryo quality at day 2, and it cannot exclude the possibility that IMSI effects occur only as a positive later paternal effect.
