A newly available DNA-based prenatal blood test that can identify a pregnancy with Down syndrome can also identify two additional chromosome abnormalities: trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome) and trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome).The test for all three defects c
Conclusion(s) More than 40% of women aged 28–36 years reporting a history of infertility can achieve births without using treatment, indicating they are subfertile rather than infertile.
"Many women aged up to 36 years with a history of infertility can achieve spontaneous conception and live birth without using fertility treatment indicating (they) are sub-fertile rather than infertile," study researcher Danielle Herbert of the Unive
A dose of ultrasound to the testicles can stop the production of sperm, according to researchers investigating a new form of contraception.
A study on rats published in Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology showed that sound waves could be used t
An Afghan mother has given birth to six children at a hospital in the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif. The woman was not aware she was carrying more than one child and had not received fertility treatment.
Conclusion(s) Few identifiable factors contribute to the variability in CRA among premenopausal women after adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. Further research to improve the prediction of CRA, premature menopause, and infertility in young brea
Conclusion(s) The closed system is more efficient in preserving mouse and human blastomeres in terms of acceptable survival and division rates, and it also complies with European Union directives.
Conclusion(s)
The improvement of the altered endocrine-metabolic environment of PCOS mothers reduces AMH levels in their daughters, which might reflect a decrease in their follicular mass.
The relationship between antral follicle count (AFC), antimüllerian hormone (AMH), inhibin B, FSH, and E2 with age was estimated using the power model, which previously has been shown to most accurately describe oocyte loss in histologic specimens -O
The government is to hold a public consultation on whether a controversial form of IVF should be legalised, which would help couples with potentially fatal genetic disorders to conceive. Professor Lisa Jardine, chair of the Human Fertilisation and Em
Scientists may be closer to understanding how genes can influence serious heart conditions, says a Nature Genetics report.The failure to turn off a specific gene at the right time in an embryo's development could mean illness later in life. Mice in w
These scientists are, according to their own estimation, performing a social good, hence there was a hue and cry when Tony Abbott as health minister tried to limit the availability of the Medicare rebate for ART. He was only trying to bring it into l
We experimentally demonstrated that the width, and not the height, of microfluidic channels should be increased in the region of laminar flow from the semen inlet to the outlet for unsorted spermatozoa to selectively recover spermatozoa with high li
GnRH antagonist protocol is associated with shorter duration of stimulation, lower total dose of gonadotrophins used and comparable clinical pregnancy and miscarriage rates. The incidence of moderate and severe OHSS is possibly reduced with antagoni
Clinic locations are at Nambour and Buderim with occasional travel to Bundaberg. A Part-time position (2-3 days per week) is available at our Nambour/Buderim location for an experienced clinical embryologist to be part of our expanding practice.
