Extended culture of vitrified–warmed embryos in day-3 embryo transfer cycles: a randomized controlled pilot study
The spontaneous reduction rate was lower in the extended culture group (10.04% versus 20.80%: P=0.032) In conclusion, extended culture of day-3 cleavage embryos for 16h would not influence the pregnancy outcome of day-3 cryopreserved embryo transfer cycles.
Incidence of pulmonary and venous thromboembolism in pregnancies after in vitro fertilisation: cross sectional study
In vitro fertilisation is associated with an increased risk of pulmonary embolism and venous thromboembolism during the first trimester. The risk of pulmonary embolism is low in absolute terms but because the condition is a leading cause of maternal mortality and clinical suspicion is critical for diagnosis, an awareness of this risk is important.
The metabolomic profile of blastocoele fluid has been recently investigated by high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry to provide metabolite information that can help estimations of implantation efficiency
Sperm head vacuoles are not affected by in-vitro conditions, as analysed by a system of sperm-microcapture channels
According to these observations, it is concluded that nuclear vacuoles on the sperm head are already produced at earlier stages of sperm maturation and are not induced or modulated by routine laboratory environments.
Anti-Müllerian hormone as an independent predictor of twin versus singleton pregnancy in fresh cycles
In summary, random serum AMH is an independent predictor of twin gestation when more than one embryo is transferred in women aged 34. Considering a woman’s AMH before transferring more than one embryo may assist in reducing the incidence of twins.
Newborn babies' immune system development and levels of vitamin D have been found to vary according to their month of birth, according to new research.
At some point, scientists may be able to bring back extinct animals, and perhaps early humans, raising questions of ethics and environmental disruption. Within a few decades, scientists may be able to bring back the dodo bird from extinction, a possibility that raises a host of ethical questions, says Stanford law Professor Hank Greely.
British scientist Sir Robert Edwards, who was awarded a Nobel prize for his pioneering work in developing in vitro fertilisation (IVF), died on Wednesday aged 87.
British scientist Sir Robert Edwards, who was awarded a Nobel prize for his pioneering work in developing in vitro fertilisation (IVF), died on Wednesday aged 87. The British professor spent his career making the dream of having a baby come true for millions of people worldwide, running into conflict with the Catholic Church and fellow scientists on his way.
Marriage Can Threaten Health: Study Finds Satisfied Newlyweds More Likely to Gain Weight
On average, young newlyweds who are satisfied with their marriage gain weight in the early years after they exchange vows, putting them at increased risk for various health problems related to being overweight.
Low Testosterone Levels May Herald Rheumatoid Arthritis in Men
Low testosterone levels may herald the subsequent development of rheumatoid arthritis in men, suggests research published online in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.
Sampling of Embryonic DNA After IVF Without Biopsy
New study published in Reproductive Biomedicine Online shows that fluid-filled cavity in 5-day old human blastocysts may contain DNA from the embryo, allowing diagnosis of genetic disease without a biopsy
Retinoic Acid Gradient Visualized for the First Time in an Embryo
In a ground-breaking study, researchers from the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan report a new technique that allows them to visualize the distribution of retinoic acid in a live zebrafish embryo, in real-time. This technique enabled them to observe two concentration gradients going in opposing directions along the head-to-tail axis of the embryo, thus providing long-awaited evidence that retinoic acid is a morphogen.
New Relief for Gynecological Disorders: Injectable Protein to Reverse Symptoms of Dangerous Conditions
The creation of new blood vessels in the body, called "angiogenesis," is usually discussed in connection with healing wounds and tumors. But it's also an ongoing process in the female reproductive tract, where the growth and breaking of blood vessels is a normal part of the menstrual cycle. But abnormal growth of blood vessels can have painful consequences and resultant pathologies.
