Fecundability trends among sperm donors as a measure of donor performance.
TLDR
Differences in fecundability exist among sperm donors which cannot be discerned through routine semen parameters, and directors of sperm banks should consider discontinuing use of a donor whose outcome is substandard.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Sperm gene expression profile is related to pregnancy rate after insemination and is predictive of low fecundity in normozoospermic men
TL;DR: The expression model could complement classical semen analysis in order to identify sperm donors with a less favourable IUI reproductive outcome despite having normal semen parameters and may also be useful for the study of sperm function in couples with unexplained infertility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Damage to Chromosomes and DNA of Rhesus Monkey Sperm Following Cryopreservation
TL;DR: The findings suggest that genetically competent frozen-thawed macaque sperm can be selected for fertilization by using only motile sperm for ICSI, and no significant difference in chromosome damage was found between fresh sperm and frozen- thawed sperm when motiles sperm were selected for I CSI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seminal lead concentrations negatively affect outcomes of artificial insemination
TL;DR: Measurements of seminal plasma lead, P-stimulated acrosome loss, and sensitivity to CBTx may provide prognostic information on the fertility status of potential donors as well as male infertility patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictive value of CASA parameters in IUI with frozen donor sperm.
TL;DR: Sperm motility parameters of frozen-thawed prepared donor sperm obtained by CASA do not seem to predict pregnancy in IUI cycles, and total motile percentage and motile concentration best predicted pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of donor heterogeneity as a factor affecting the clinical outcome of oocyte donation.
TL;DR: The quality of oocytes varied widely among women presumed to be fertile by clinical criteria, and the causative factors set a major limitation on the prospects of improving the outcome of egg donation.

Mini-Percoll: a new method of semen preparation for IVF in severe male factor infertility
TL;DR: Preliminary data suggest that mini-Percoll seems to be a valid laboratory tool for semen samples of extremely poor quality in the treatment of severe oligoasthenozoospermia.

TL;DR: In a selected group of patients without CC resistance and normal ovarian response following CC stimulation [maximum of three follicles with a diameter of >16 mm at the time of administration of human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG], IUI combined with CC-HCG can be offered as a very safe and non-expensive first-line treatment, at least with an IMC of >1 x 10(6) spermatozoa.
Journal ArticleDOI
A prospective randomized study of pregnancy rates following intrauterine and intracervical insemination using frozen donor sperm
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the pregnancy rates following intrauterine insemination (IUI) and intra-vivo intra-clustering with cryopreserved sperm in a prospective trial using the patient as her own control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spermatozoal characteristics from fresh and frozen donor semen and their correlation with fertility outcome after intrauterine insemination.
TL;DR: In this article, a retrospective analysis of 2,245 cycles of therapeutic donor IUIs were initially studied; 1,147 cycles that met selection criteria were used in this report to determine if conventional sperm parameters, specific characteristics of sperm motion determined by computer-aided semen analysis (CASA), sperm penetration assay (SPA), and spontaneous acrosome reaction assay could best predict fertility outcome after intrauterine insemination (IUI) from frozen donor sperm.
