In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer

macrophages" is discussed in the third symposium. Most studies in this section have employed the methodology of DNA labeling, using tritiated thymidine (3H-Tdr) to ascertain whether microglia are related to blood monocytes (as one contributor contends most CNS macrophages are), or whether they represented a "third" glial cell line. Other articles attempt to quantitate neural synapses, to elabor...

In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.

In vitro fertilization is one of the newest approaches to infertility. Opportunities for nurses in IVF involve teaching couples about physiology, providing technical assistance and care, and counseling about the medical and emotional aspects of the program. Many times the nurse serves as the primary support person for couples and as their advocate with other team members.

Comparison of Easy and Difficult Embryo Transfer Outcomes in In Vitro Fertilization Cycles

Heterotopic pregnancy after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.

We have presented a second case of heterotopic pregnancy after IVF-ET. The most likely cause is direct extrusion of embryos through the tubal ostia by the hydrostatic pressure associated with ET. The diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy must be suspected clinically and not ruled out on the sonographic demonstration of an intrauterine pregnancy. Early diagnosis is essential for the prevention of signi...

Inositol and In Vitro Fertilization with Embryo Transfer

Recently, studies on inositol supplementation during in vitro fertilization program (IVF) have gained particular importance due to the effect of this molecule on reducing insulin resistance improving ovarian function, oocyte quality, and embryo and pregnancy rates and reducing gonadotropin amount during stimulation. Inositol and its isoforms, especially myoinositol (MYO), are often used as pres...
