Abstract

The in-vitro fertilization of human ova and the subsequent transfer of the embryo are a possibility for infertile patients with damaged fallopian tubes to achieve a pregnancy. The results of different methods of ovarian stimulation in an in-vitro fertilization programme are described. The Clomiphen/hCG treatment and the overlapping Clomiphen/hMG/hCG treatment were used. Between July 1982 and March 1983, 130 patients had a laparoscopic aspiration of ovarian follicles at the Department for Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Luebeck. 585 follicles were aspirated and 404 ova retrieved. 210 showed the criteria of a preovulatory ovum. Of these 210, 177 were fertilized. In 95 patients an embryo transfer at the 2-8 cell stage was carried out. Inspite of the good fertilization rate of over 80% and the good embryo transfer rate of over 70%, pregnancy was achieved only in 13 cases. The number of follicles and of the retrieved preovulatory ova as well as the fertilization rate were best in the group which received combined Clomiphen and hMG. The pregnancy rate was not different compared to the other group. The first delivery of a healthy infant following laparoscopic aspiration of a follicle and in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer in Lue...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
