    Early Compaction Might Be a Parameter to Determine Good Quality Embryos and Day of Embryo Transfer in Patients Undergoing Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection

    Introduction: Compaction is the first event in embryo morphogenesis. Blastocyst transfer on day five or six has been widely performed in the last decade. We investigated the clinical value of early compaction on day three for evaluation of the transferred embryo quality and pregnancy. Methods: Four hundred patients with female factor infertility and 776 fresh embryo transfers were included. Two groups were formed: Early compaction group had embryo transfer with at least one day-three embryo exhibiting early compaction. Transferred embryos without early compaction comprised the control group. Embryo transfer was performed on day three or five after the assessment of embryo compaction by a time-lapse technology system. Each patient underwent only a single cycle of embryo transfer. We analyzed fertilization, pregnancy, and live birth rates. Results: We detected significantly higher numbers of the retrieved oocytes, metaphase II (MII) oocytes, and fertilized oocytes in the early compaction group. Moreover, the transfer of the early compacting embryos on day three resulted in higher pregnancy and live birth rates. Conclusion: Our data suggest that early compaction might be a factor to determine good quality embryos and embryo transfer day.

    Transient osteoporosis of pregnancy: case report
    (GALENOS YAYINCILIK, 2010-01-01) Ergin, Tolga; Selam, Belgin; Lembet, Arda; Ozturk, Harika Bodur; Damlacik, Atilla; Demirel, Cem
    Transient osteoporosis of pregnancy is a rarely observed skeletal pathology developing in the last months of pregnancy. Meticulous evaluation is important for the differential diagnosis of severe and progressive hip and/or groin pain in pregnant patients. MRI is a valuable and safe technique for demonstrating bone marrow edema and skeletal abnormalities during pregnancy. Avoidance of vaginal delivery and non-weight bearing measures are essential in order to prevent complications such as hip fractures related to transient osteoporosis of pregnancy. We present the diagnostic evaluation and treatment of an uncommon case of transient osteoporosis of pregnancy with resolution of symptoms and postpartum.
