Monochorionic Diamniotic Twin Cervical Ectopic Pregnancy Following Assisted Conception: A Case Report
CONCLUSION: This case is an example of a complication of IVF. To the best of our knowledge and following a search of the Medline database, this is the only case of monochorionic twin pregnancy located within the cervical canal.
What is the role of reduced IVF fees in persuading women to volunteer to provide eggs for research? Insights from IVF patients volunteering to a UK ‘e
Interviewees welcomed the scheme, but were not volunteering entirely under circumstances of their choosing: they would prefer not to provide eggs during their own IVF treatment and under certain circumstances change their minds about so doing. In conclusion, reduced fees, although an important factor, do not act as an undue inducement in persuading volunteers to act against their own interests.
Influence of FSHR Diplotypes on Ovarian Response to Standard Gonadotropin Stimulation for IVF/ICSI
FSHR diplotypes were significantly associated with ovarian response to gonadotropin stimulation. FSHR diplotype analysis could be informative for ovarian stimulation outcome and the selection of the proper stimulation protocol, which would ensure a sufficient number of mature oocytes for IVF/ICSI.
Association between in-vitro fertilization, birth and melanoma
Women who had IVF and gave birth had an increased rate of invasive melanoma compared with women who had IVF and remained nulliparous (HR 3.61: 95% confidence interval 1.79-7.26). There was little or no increase in the rate of invasive melanoma associated with giving birth in women who had non-IVF infertility treatment (HR 1.39: 95% confidence interval 0.88-2.20). These results suggest an association between reproductive factors and melanoma in th
Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society provides practitioners with
clear guidelines for embryo transfer
Montreal (Quebec) – The Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society (CFAS) has released guidelines on the much-debated subject of how many embryos to transfer when practicing in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Introduction of new NATA/RCPA accreditation surveillance model for Medical Testing
NATA will introduce a new surveillance model for Medical Testing from 1 July 2013. This policy provides details on the model and practical issues around how it is to be applied.
Assisted reproduction counseling in women aged 40 and above: a cohort study
Only 10 % of patients aged 40 and above could achieve delivery of their genetically-own child, while 1 % conceived spontaneously. More than one third of patients consulting never started any treatment for different reasons, i.e. anticipated poor prognosis, financial restrictions, illness or spontaneous pregnancy.
Reproductive implications of psychological distress for couples undergoing IVF
Our data validate the concept of a “stressed couple”. Adverse implications of a couple’s psychological distress for gamete biology (longer duration of COH and lower FR with increasing distress) are suggested. Partner’s depressive scores negatively correlated with IVF success. These findings suggest the importance of including partner’s evaluation in studies that focus on effects of psychological stress on IVF outcome: future studies should examin
The periconceptional period, reproduction and long-term health of offspring: the importance of one-carbon metabolism
Evidence presented indicates that parental nutrition and other lifestyle factors during the periconceptional period can affect reproductive performance via 1-C metabolic pathways. This knowledge provides opportunities for treatment and prevention of reproductive failures and future non-communicable diseases.
Time of insemination culture and outcomes of in vitro fertilization: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Reduced gamete exposure time may be associated with beneficial outcomes. Drawbacks inherent to the quality of several studies limit the quality of the available evidence. Adequately powered randomized controlled studies need to be performed to evaluate the efficacy of brief insemination.
IVF and breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS At present, COH for IVF does not seem to impart increased breast cancer risk. Longer follow-up periods, comparisons versus infertile women, subgroup analyses aiming to trace vulnerable subgroups, adjustment for various confounders and larger informative data sets are needed before conclusive statements for the safety of the procedure are reached.
Assisted hatching of human embryos: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
AH was related to increased clinical pregnancy and multiple pregnancy rates in women with previous repeated failure or frozen-thawed embryos. However, AH is unlikely to increase clinical pregnancy rates when performed in fresh embryos transferred to unselected or non-poor prognosis women or to women of advanced age. Due to the small sample evaluated by the pool of included studies, no proper conclusions could be drawn regarding miscarriage or liv
New insights on the origin and relevance of aneuploidy in human spermatozoa
These findings suggest that the differences in the incidence of aneuploidy between spermatozoa and oocytes are not due to differences in chromosome segregation errors but rather to more effective checkpoint mechanisms in spermatogenesis than in oogenesis.
Dependence of fertility on kisspeptin–Gpr54 signaling at the GnRH neuron
This results in mice with normal puberty onset, estrous cyclicity, fecundity and a recovery of kisspeptin’s stimulatory action upon GnRH neurons. Using complimentary cell-specific knockout and knockin approaches we demonstrate here that the GnRH neuron is the key site of kisspeptin–Gpr54 signaling for fertility.
Final Piece Found in Puzzle of Brain Circuitry Controlling Fertility
In the latest research, Professor Herbison and colleagues at Otago and Heidelberg University, Germany, provide conclusive evidence that the kisspeptin-Gpr54 signalling occurs in a small population of nerve cells in the brain called gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons
Put the brakes on new IVF techniques to prevent mitochondrial disease being inherited. That's the message from a group of researchers who are concerned that some of the work on mitochondrial replacement therapy – a technique that prevents a mother from passing on faulty mitochondrial DNA to her child – suggests that it isn't ready for the clinic.
The "chemical chatter" that determines whether an embryo can implant in the womb has been detailed by scientists. It is important for the lining of the womb to know if an embryo is healthy before allowing it to implant, but how this is done was unclear. A study by the universities of Southampton and Warwick has shown the amount of a chemical, trypsin, helps determine whether an embryo implants.
Fertility scientists say they have made a "crucial breakthrough" in understanding why some women have repeated miscarriages. There has been debate about whether giving steroids would help women who have lost multiple pregnancies.
The 300-year-old fertility statistics still in use today
Most women over the age of 25 will be familiar with those concerned looks from older relatives followed up by a whispered: "Isn't it about time you started thinking of having a baby?" But what if much of what we have been led to believe about the impact of age on fertility is not true?
Concerns about the safety of a pioneering therapy that would create babies with DNA from three people have been raised by researchers. The advanced form of IVF could eliminate debilitating and potentially fatal mitochondrial diseases. Writing in the journal Science, the group warned that the mix of DNA could lead to damaging side-effects. The expert panel that reviewed the safety of the technique said the risks described would be "trivial".
London IVF Clinic Opens First Egg Bank to Draw Donors
An IVF clinic owner in London is opening an egg bank today to encourage more donations to help treat women who are struggling to conceive. The company that runs the private London Women’s Clinic is starting the London Egg Bank, the country’s first such facility, to address the shortage of donors, according to an e-mailed statement.
The IVF industry–Big Fertility–is no different than Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Biotech, and Big Defense. It provides a product–in this case, a baby–for big bucks. It expands markets and technologies–egg buying, commercial surrogacy, selling extra embryos, etc.–advertises, and fights the political wars with high paid lobbyists in Washington DC and state and foreign capitals like any other industry.
The first IVF (In vitro fertilization) egg bank launches Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2013 in the U.K., to aid women attain motherhood. The egg donors will be paid about £750 ($1194) for their eggs. This will also prevent IVF patients from going abroad to seek treatment.
Washington - Connor Levy made history when he was born in Philadelphia in May, but not because he was created through in vitro fertilisation (IVF). Rather, he is the first child to be born after his parents screened the genomes of a batch of their embryos for abnormalities in an effort to pick the healthiest for implantation.
