How successful is repeat testicular sperm extraction in patients with azoospermia? (2006)
Vernaeve, Valérie, Verheyen, G., Goossens, A., Steirteghem, A. Van, Devroey, P., Tournaye, H.
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the extraction rate in repeated sperm retrieval procedures in azoospermic patients. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of repeated sperm recovery in these...
Goossens, E., Frederickx, V., Block, G.De, Steirteghem, A.Van, Tournaye, H.
BACKGROUND: Since its introduction in 1994, testicular stem cell transplantation (TSCT) has been widely used for research. This technique may also become important for preserving fertility in...

BACKGROUND: Since the introduction of ICSI in 1991, medical outcome studies on ICSI children have been performed, but few have addressed developmental outcome. Hence, this outcome was assessed by...
Alternative approaches in IVF (2002)
Fauser, B.C., Bouchard, P., Coelingh Bennink, H.J., Collins, J.A., Devroey, P., Evers, J.L., ...
Various new developments in clinical and basic science which may impact on IVF in the near or distant future will be discussed in this review. These key areas include the regulation of early follicle...
Vernaeve, V., Tournaye, H., Schiettecatte, J., Verheyen, G., Steirteghem, A.Van, Devroey, P.
BACKGROUND: Serum inhibin B, a direct product of the Sertoli cells, may serve as a marker of spermatogenesis. The present retrospective study aimed at evaluating the predictive value of inhibin B for...
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis for medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency (2000)
Sermon, K., Henderix, P., Lissens, W., Vos, A.De, Vandervorst, M., Vanderfaeillie, A., ...
Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency is the most common defect in fatty acid oxidation. The disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion (carrier frequency around 1 in 70)...
