Among the many recent advances in assisted reproduction
therapies (ART), improved technologies for identifying viable
oocytes, sperm, and embryos are of primary importance.
Paradoxically, the latest advances presented at conferences and
symposia are often slow to become part of the daily routine in IVF
laboratories. Detailing established and developing techniques, A
Practical Guide to Selecting Gametes and Embryos provides a
user-friendly text of ready-to-use ARTs that can be utilized
effectively in the lab.
In this volume, renowned embryologist and educator Markus Montag
and his expert panel highlight sophisticated and proven selection
strategies and emphasize the importance of proper lab practice in
handling gametes and embryos.
Topics include:
- Steps undertaken for the analysis of a semen sample
- Quality control and prevention of exposure to toxins in oocyte
collection and embryo culture
- Morphological selection of gametes and embryos
- Both commonly used and innovative techniques for gamete and
embryo selection, such as oxygen respiration and time-lapse
imaging
- Invasive techniques, including polar body, embryo, and
blastocyst biopsies as well as aneuploidy testing by FISH and
array-CGH
Accompanied by numerous figures and descriptions, this guide to
selecting gametes and embryos brings the insight of international
authors with knowledge and expertise, highlighting practical tips
and key points. The book offers a starting point for applying
successful selection strategies for reducing the rate of high-risk
multiple gestations while maintaining or increasing viable
pregnancy rates.
