Preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) involves testing pre-implantation embryos for chromosomal numerical abnormalities (aneuploidy). Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) involves genetic testing of embryos for specific genetic conditions. The objective of both PGS and PGD is to identify embryos that are aneuploid … Read more
Embryo transfer (ET) is undoubtedly the single most important step in IVF. It takes confidence, dexterity, skill and timing to optimally perform ET. Of all the procedures conducted in IVF, embryo transfer is the most difficult to perfect. Sadly, far … Read more
In the United States, effective treatment of NK/CTL activation associated with either alloimmune or autoimmune implantation dysfunction requires the administration of primarily Intralipid (IL). Such treatment is much more likely to be successful in the case of` autoimmune implantation dysfunction … Read more
Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS): PGS is the process whereby the chromosomes in the cells of an embryo (or the polar body of an egg) are examined (karyotyped). Embryo cells that have all 46 chromosomes intact are termed euploid. Those with … Read more
In the United States, effective treatment of natural killer cell /cytotoxic lymphocyte (NK/CTL)-activation associated with either alloimmune or autoimmune implantation dysfunction requires the administration of primarily Intralipid (IL) or Intravenous gamma-globulin (IVIg). Such treatment is much more likely to be … Read more
“I am in full agreement with researchers at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom who following a recent published a report on their observation that FET enhances IVF outcome, stated that this could represent one of the most “exciting” IVF … Read more
Embryo transfer (ET) is undoubtedly a rate limiting factor in IVF. Unquestionably, the IVF doctor’s expertise in performing ET as one of the most important factors that will determine IVF outcome. It takes confidence, dexterity, skill, gentility and above all, … Read more
The numerical chromosomal configuration of a cell is referred to as its karyotype or ploidy. A cell with an irregular chromosome number is referred to as aneuploid while one with a normal karyotype, as euploid. It is predominantly (but not … Read more
