Journal ArticleDOI
“Physiologic ICSI”: Hyaluronic acid (HA) favors selection of spermatozoa without DNA fragmentation and with normal nucleus, resulting in improvement of embryo quality
Lodovico Parmegiani,Graciela Estela Cognigni,Silvia Bernardi,Enzo Troilo,W. Ciampaglia,Marco Filicori +5 more
TL;DR: Hyaluronic acid may optimize ICSI outcome by favoring selection of spermatozoa without DNA fragmentation and with normal nucleus, and may also be used to speed up the selection for sperm selection before intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection (IMSI).
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficiency of aseptic open vitrification and hermetical cryostorage of human oocytes
Lodovico Parmegiani,Graciela Estela Cognigni,Silvia Bernardi,S. Cuomo,W. Ciampaglia,F.E. Infante,C. Tabarelli de Fatis,A. Arnone,Antonio Manuel Maccarini,Marco Filicori +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that UV liquid nitrogen sterilization and hermetical cryostorage does not adversely affect the developmental competence of vitrified oocytes, allowing safe aseptic open vitrification applicable under strict directives on tissue manipulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sterilization of liquid nitrogen with ultraviolet irradiation for safe vitrification of human oocytes or embryos
Lodovico Parmegiani,Antonio Accorsi,Graciela Estela Cognigni,Silvia Bernardi,Enzo Troilo,Marco Filicori +5 more
TL;DR: The fact that LN2 can be quickly and safely sterilized should encourage the wider application of human oocyte and embryo vitrification with "open carriers."
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of two ready-to-use systems designed for sperm–hyaluronic acid binding selection before intracytoplasmic sperm injection: PICSI vs. Sperm Slow: a prospective, randomized trial
Lodovico Parmegiani,Graciela Estela Cognigni,Silvia Bernardi,Enzo Troilo,S. Taraborrelli,A. Arnone,Antonio Manuel Maccarini,Marco Filicori +7 more
TL;DR: The good-quality embryo rate was comparable between the two groups and overall there were no statistically significant differences in secondary outcome measures except ICSI procedure duration, which was 3 minutes longer in the PICSI group.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Analysis of Bicycle Travel Speed and Disturbances on Off-street and On-street Facilities☆
Silvia Bernardi,Federico Rupi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified the role of disturbances encountered on separated bicycle facilities, compared to disturbances from cycling mixed with traffic, assuming cyclists speed as a performance measure and analysing the cyclist speed reductions from different types of disturbances.
