Effects of pregnancy planning, fertility, and assisted reproductive treatment on child behavioral problems at 5 and 7 years: Evidence from the Millennium Cohort Study by Carson, C, Redshaw, M, Sacker, A, Kelly, Y, Kurinczuk, J, Quigley, M

“…Conceptions were divided into "unplanned" (unplanned, unhappy), "mistimed" (unplanned, happy), "planned" (planned, TTC <12 months), "subfertile" (planned, TTC ≥12 months), "ovulation induced" (received clomiphene citrate), and "ART" (IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection). Intervention(s): None. Main Outcome Measure(s): Child behavior (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire [SDQ]). …”

Human sperm devoid of PLC, zeta 1 fail to induce Ca(2+) release and are unable to initiate the first step of embryo development. by Yoon, S, Jellerette, T, Salicioni, A, Lee, H, Yoo, MS, Coward, K, Parrington, J, Grow, D, Cibelli, J, Visconti, P, Mager, J, Fissore, R

“…In mammals, the fertilizing sperm delivers the activating signal, which consists of oscillations in free cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)). Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a technique that in vitro fertilization clinics use to treat a myriad of male factor infertility cases. …”

The Impact of Single- and Double-Strand DNA Breaks in Human Spermatozoa on Assisted Reproduction by Ashok Agarwal, Cătălina Barbăroșie, Rafael Ambar, Renata Finelli
