Embryo transfer

people with an inheritable condition in their family to avoid passing it on to their children. It involves checking the genes and/or chromosomes of embryos” created through IVF (HEFA, 2014). During this process, one or two cells can be removed without any harm to the embryo. The embryos that show genetic disease are discarded with consent and the embryos that show no sign of diseases are implanted into the womb allowing for it to develop (HEFA, 2014). By being able to sort out the genetic…

Cervical polyps: What are cervical polyps? They are finger like growths arising from the neck of the womb( cervix) , the part that connects the uterus to the vagina.They may arise from the surface of the cervix or the cervical canal. The term " growth" should not be daunting as they rarely are malignant. What causes cervical polyps? The reasons are not entirely clear but it is likely to be: -Hormonal changes( an excess of estrogen, the female hormone) - Chronic inflammation of the cervix -…

trying to answer? - The authors are trying to determine if progesterone would make a difference on the quality of the embryos during the growing stage of the first follicular wave. 2) What is the hypothesis of the study? - The hypothesis of this study is that if a person were to induce a cow to ovulate follicles during the first follicular wave, that would minimize the embryo quality due to progesterone concentration at the time of growing the follicle and would also increase the pulsation of…

During pregnancy, there are many hazardous agents that the mother should avoid in order to prevent a negative outcome on the fetus. These dangerous agents are known as teratogens and behavioral teratogens. A teratogen is an agent, which can cause a birth defect. Teratogens are usually something in the environment that the mother is exposed to during the pregnancy. On the other hand, a behavioral teratogen harms the prenatal brain, affecting the baby's intellectual and emotional functioning.…

x-ray and receiving any man-made radiation can be harmful to the mother and the unborn fetus as well as the technologist performing the examination. Let’s explore and discuss the effects that radiation can have on the pregnant patient, the unborn embryo/fetus, the pregnant technologist, and the protective or precautionary measures that can be taken to reduce as much harm as possible. Radiation can have effects on anyone that receives it but it tends to be more of a concern when it comes to…

mother takes fertility drugs which the doctor then harvests about fifteen to thirty of the eggs. Once the sperm and eggs have been harvested, the doctor mixes the combination together in a petri dish where they will produce genetically distinct embryos. The embryos…

affiliated with this topic because people are using human embryos for science. I entirely agree with Dr. Garman about the problem with stem cell research and that certain laws are put up that help the use of stem cells in an ethical way. I also agree that stem cell research should have controversy affiliated with it as well. Even though I am entirely for stem cell research I see the other side of the controversy: scientists are using embryos which is where all humans once came from for a science…

The copepod Tigriopus Californicus is found in splash-pools of laguna beach. (Baker, 1912) The Tigriopus Californicus has many different stages in its lifecycle. The stages go from the Nauplii stage to the Copepodid stage, to finally the Adult stage. Each stage lasts for about one to two days. However, there is an uncertainty of how many additional segments are added to the abdomen. Each stage lasts up to two to four days depending on their environment. As the T. Californicus ages, more…

- The developing fetus does not breath by drawing in air into its lungs like an adult does. Instead, the fetus draws its oxygen from the mother’s blood where the oxygen content is low. The hemoglobin in adults consist of two alpha and two beta subunits. Fetal hemoglobin consists of two alpha and two gamma subunits. This allows hemoglobin to bind oxygen with higher affinity compared to adult hemoglobin, allowing the extraction of oxygen from maternal circulation. It Is important in fetal…

What happens during the trimesters of pregnancy? A normal, full term pregnancy is 40 weeks, and can range from anywhere to 37-42 weeks, and its divided into three trimesters. Each trimester lasts between 12 and 14 weeks, or about three months. Each trimester comes with its own hormonal and physiological changes. If you know and understand of the ways that your growing baby will be affecting your body will help you to better prepare yourself for these changes as they happen. Its also helpful to…
