“…METHODS: This prospective, noncomparative case series includes patients with primary corneal ectasia including keratoconus and pellucid marginal degeneration. In the operating room, one or two ring or crescent-shaped allogeneic corneal segments were prepared using a handmade double-bladed punch, which were then implanted by a specially designed device, into stromal channels in the peripheral recipient cornea fashioned with a femtosecond-laser system. …”

“…CONCLUSIONS: Even though, both slow freezing and vitrification ensured a good overall preservation of the oocyte, we found that: 1) prolonged culture activates an intracellular membrane “recycling” that causes the abnormal transformation of the membranes of the small MV complexes and of SER into larger rounded vesicles; 2) vacuolization appears as a recurrent form of cell damage during slow freezing and, at a lesser extent, during vitrification using a closed device; 3) premature CG exocytosis was present in both SFO and VO and may cause zona pellucida hardening.…”

“…DESIGN, SETTING, PATIENTS: We prospectively investigated in a private academically-affiliated infertility center 94 consecutive IVF cycles based on 6 criteria for oocyte quality: morphology, cytoplasm, perivitelline space (PVS), zona pellucida (ZP), polar body (PB) and oocyte size, each assigned a value of -1 (worst), 0 (average) or +1 (best), so establishing an average total oocyte score (TOS). …”
