1 in 3 Doctors Still Needlessly Removing Healthy Ovaries, Study Finds
A new study from Baystate Medical Center found that one-third of gynecologists continue to recommend removal of healthy ovaries from women undergoing hysterectomies who haven’t yet entered menopause. This goes against recommendations of their own medical society, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which advises against ovary removal in pre-menopausal women undergoing hysterectomies who aren’t at increased risk of ovarian cancer.

Breakthrough for IVF? Selecting the Most Promising Embryos
A recent study in Reproductive BioMedicine Online on 5-day old human blastocysts shows that those with an abnormal chromosomal composition can be identified by the rate at which they have developed to blastocysts, thereby classifying the risk of genetic abnormality without a biopsy. In a new study the same group has undertaken a retrospective study, using their predictive model to assess the likelihood of any embryo transferred resulting in a successful pregnancy, with very encouraging outcomes.
One of the greatest challenges in assisted reproduction is to find the one embryo, which can develop successfully. Now, combining time lapse imaging of IVF embryos cultured for 5 days to the blastocyst stage with trophoblast biopsy, it has proved possible to correlate the rate of blastocyst formation with chromosomal abnormalities. Such an approach should allow early and widely accessible non-invasive identification of the best embryo to place in the uterus. Read full article…
