TL;DR: Severe male factor impairs early embryonic competence in terms of fertilization rate and developmental potential, however, the euploidy rate and implantation potential of the obtained blastocysts are independent from sperm quality.

TL;DR: The blastocyst biopsy approach provides highly consistent and reproducible laboratory and clinical outcomes across multiple practitioners from different IVF centres when all of the embryologists received identical training and use similar equipment.

TL;DR: A summary of the putative advantages and disadvantages of DuoStim was reported here through a Strengths–Weaknesses–Opportunities–Threats analysis: the strengths of this approach make it very promising, however, more studies are needed in the future to limit its weaknesses, shed light on its putative threats, and realize its opportunities.

TL;DR: The risk of inconclusive chromosomal-assessment after trophectoderm biopsy after preimplantation-genetic-testing was 2.5% but a further biopsy and vitrification-warming appeared not to impair the competence of euploid blastocysts.

TL;DR: No difference was observed between FPS- and LPS-derived euploid blastocysts after vitrified-warmed single embryo transfer (SET), as well as clinical, obstetric and perinatal outcomes, which were similar in terms of full-development and morphological quality.
