  3. 2. Predicting the outcome of IVF treatments using forward selection regression and linear discriminant analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Agnes Ekman; Linnéa Fahlberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : As more and more In Vitro Fertilizaiton (IVF) treatments are performed each year, there is a need to better predict the outcomes of different stages of the treatment and hence get a better understanding of which hormonal and physical parameters affect the treatment outcome and in what way. In this study, the effect of interaction between baseline AMH (anti-mullerian hormone) and DFI (DNA fragmentation index) on the chance of obtaining at least one good quality embryo was investigated, but no significance was found.

  5. 4. Microvesicles in human reproduction and their role in Assisted Reproductive Techniques

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

    Author : Hala Sawas; [2022]
    Keywords : In Vitro Fertilization; Venous Thromboembolism; Fetuin B; Ovastacin; Flow Cytometry;

    Abstract : Infertility is a problem that could be treated by using In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). This procedure starts by increasing estrogen levels and then retrieving oocytes. However, studies have showed an increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and lung embolism that is correlated with the rising levels of estrogen. READ MORE

  6. 5. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and the effect on apoptosis in early porcine embryo development in vitro

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of PFHxS (perfluorohexane sulfonic acid) and PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonic acid) on early embryo development parameters and apoptosis on day 6 post fertilization in porcine embryos. A second purpose was to evaluate, and establish, the TUNEL assay in our IVF laboratory. READ MORE
