Predicting successful outcome of singleton and multiple pregnancies after assisted reproductive technologies (ART)
… predicting pregnancy outcome in women undergoing IVF treatment. The thesis includes three studies. The first is a retrospective study of the pregnancy outcomes of singleton and twin pregnancies conceived from ART. The study found that ART conceived twins had similar perinatal outcomes to …

Human oocytes and embryos viewed by time-lapse videography, and the development of an embryo deselection model
… wide application today, in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment continues to have relatively low efficacy, largely due to inaccuracy in selecting the best quality embryo(s) from the cohort for transfer. Novel methodologies for improved selection are being developed, and time-lapse observation of …

Investigating the consequences of chromosome abnormalities arising during pre-implantation development of the mouse
… embryos created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) are mosaic as they are constituted of a mixture of diploid and aneuploid cells. Chromosome abnormalities are widely believed to contribute towards the relatively low success rates of IVF treatment. Consequently major efforts have been …

An evidence-based policy for the provision of subsidised fertility treatment in California: Integration of array comparative genomic hybridisation with IVF and mandatory single embryo transfer to lower multiple gestation and preterm birth rates
… settings, standard in vitro fertilisation (IVF) in California strongly skews the multiple gestation/preterm birth rate upward to approximately 50% of all deliveries, while unassisted conceptions yield this outcome in only 3% of births. Preterm/multiple gestation babies from IVF are …

The effect of reproductive hormones on muscle function in young and middle-aged females.
… young women undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment when acute, massive changes in oestrogen are induced. There were no differences in muscle function of the FDI when assessed under very low or high oestrogen changes (p>O.05). The independent effects of oestrogen upon muscle function …
