The results of research work entitled “Association of the e4 genetic variant in the apolipoprotein gene in patients with recurrent pregnancy loss and implantation failure” are presented in the form of an oral communication to …
BFS. 2016 Annual Meeting: Research work presented by Instituto Bernabeu and IB Biotech teams.
The British Fertility Society’s Annual Meeting will take place in Sage Gateshead, Newcastle (UK) today and tomorrow (7th and 8th January). This edition’s theme is ‘Gamete Formation, Preservation and Donation.’
Continuing the social commitment of Instituto Bernabeu, the Rafael Bernabeu Foundation awards a total of 18 scholarships for students of Medicine, Biotechnology, Biology and Nursing, each one of 2,500€; which are payable by check to the student to help …
Instituto Bernabeu Research: New classification of Adenomyosis
Adenomyosis is an entity with an unknown influence in implantation. Several studies achieve until 68% less pregnancy rate when adenomyosis is diagnosed, although another groups didn’t see differences. Severity of adenomyosis could be influencing in …
IB Research: “Outcome of oocyte vitrification using open vs. closed devices”
Vitrification virtually eliminates the major problem associated with cryopreservation, which is the formation of ice crystals. Recent papers have shown that warming is more important than cooling rates. Survival rates of vitrified oocytes and embryos …
IB research: “Ovarian induction in egg donors: Corifollitropin alfa versus urinary FSH”
In last years corifollitropin alfa (ElonvaTM) has been added to the treatments available to induce ovulation. It is especially designed to work much longer than conventional FSH, so that one single injection of Elonva can …
In the last years, on the way to single embryo transfer (SET), preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) using array technology to test embryo aneuploidy of all chromosomes in the blastocyst stage, is becoming the technique of …
Blastocyst biopsy for Comprehensive Chromosomal Screening (CCS) treatments can be addressed through different strategies. When biopsy on D+5 is performed, fresh transfer on day 6 is possible. There is also the option of freezing the …
IB Research on the Embryo Vitrification Model: optimizing the equilibration time.
Vitrification techniques are commonly used in In vitro fertilization (IVF) laboratories. The vitrification process includes a first step of embryo equilibration. This step never exceeds 15 minutes because cryoprotectans can produce embryo damage. The aim …
IB Research: CCS as a means of achieving pregnancy in women who are polymorphism carriers.
Developments in Comprehensive Chromosome Screening (CCS) which provides information on the chromosomal make-up of embryos, have meant that we are able to determine which embryos have chromosome abnormalities and study possible factors affecting those abnormalities.
