Research

At F.I.R.S.T., we undertake scientific studies and present them at national scientific meetings as well as publish them in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

Articles in Scientific Journals

1. 2009 Yavas, Y., and Selub, M.R. Ovarian follicular volume and follicular surface area are better indicators of follicular growth and maturation, respectively, than is follicular diameter. 91(4 Suppl):1299-1302. Fertil. Steril. (Alternate Link)

2. 2004 Yavas, Y., and Selub, M.R. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) pregnancy outcome is enhanced by shorter intervals from semen collection to sperm wash, from sperm wash to IUI time, and from semen collection to IUI time. 82(6):1638-1647. Fertil. Steril. (Alternate Link) (Alternate Link)

Abstracts

1. 2006 Yavas, Y., and Selub, M.R. Ovarian follicular volume and follicular surface area are more accurate indicators of follicular growth and maturation, respectively, than follicular diameter alone. 86(Suppl.2):S398-S399 (abstr.P-715). Fertil. Steril.

2. 2005 Yavas, Y., and Selub, M.R. Incubating washed spermatozoa at 37^OC rather than keeping at room temperature (20^OC) until intrauterine insemination (IUI) time results in higher pregnancy rate. 84(Suppl.1):S265-S266 (abstr.P-322). Fertil. Steril.

3. 2004 Yavas, Y., Selub, M.R., and Carmichael, D. The adverse effect of female age on intra-uterine insemination (IUI) pregnancy outcome is more pronounced within donor frozen-thawed sperm IUI cycles than within partner’s fresh sperm IUI cycles regardless of stimulation type. 82(Suppl.2):S218 (abstr.P-235). Fertil. Steril.

4. 2003 Yavas, Y., Selub, M.R., Lefkow, H., and Carmichael, D. Intra-uterine insemination (IUI) outcome is enhanced by shorter intervals from semen collection to sperm wash, from sperm wash to IUI time, and from semen collection to IUI time. 80(Suppl.3):S152(abstr.P-97). Fertil. Steril.

5. 2003 Yavas, Y., Selub, M.R., Lefkow, H., and Carmichael, D. Type of donor frozen sperm does not affect intra-uterine insemination (IUI) outcome. 80(Suppl.3):S168(abstr.P-139). Fertil. Steril.

6. 2003 Yavas, Y., Selub, M.R., Lefkow, H., and Carmichael, D. Ovarian stimulation with human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) is more effective than clomiphene citrate (CC) in intra-uterine insemination (IUI) using partner’s sperm, but not in IUI using donor frozen sperm. 80(Suppl.3):S168(abstr.P-141). Fertil. Steril.
