In Vitro Fertilization01:24

In Vitro Fertilization

178
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a form of assisted reproductive technology where an egg is fertilized with sperm in a controlled laboratory environment before transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus. This process is designed to help individuals and couples experiencing difficulties conceiving.
The IVF process begins with ovarian stimulation, during which reproductive endocrinologists prescribe hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs instead of the single...

Uterine Tubes01:16

Uterine Tubes

419
The uterine or fallopian tubes function as the conduit through which oocytes travel from the ovaries to the uterus. Each fallopian tube measures approximately 10 to 13 cm long and is anatomically divided into the infundibulum, ampulla, isthmus, and interstitial part (or intramural segment). The infundibulum is characterized by its funnel shape and features extensions called fimbriae which reach towards the peritoneal cavity. These fimbriae play a critical role during ovulation as they extend...

Birth Control Methods01:22

Birth Control Methods

150
Vasectomy is a surgical form of male sterilization that involves severing and sealing the vasa deferentia, preventing sperm from mixing with semen during ejaculation. Because a vasectomy does not impact the testes' ability to produce testosterone, hormone levels, libido, and sexual function generally remain unchanged. While vasectomy is highly effective in preventing pregnancy, with a success rate near 99.85%, rare cases of recanalization (spontaneous reconnection) can occur. Although...

Meiosis II01:57

Meiosis II

181.8K
Meiosis II is the second and final stage of meiosis. It relies on the haploid cells produced during meiosis I, each of which contain only 23 chromosomes—one from each homologous initial pair. Importantly, each chromosome in these cells is composed of two joined copies, and when these cells enter meiosis II, the goal is to separate such sister chromatids using the same microtubule-based network employed in other division processes. The result of meiosis II is two haploid cells, each...

Tumor Immunotherapy01:27

Tumor Immunotherapy

457
Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Science
  • Fetal Medicine
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Intrauterine interventions have evolved since the 1970s, with increased frequency at specialized centers.
  • Despite advancements, prenatal procedures carry significant risks for both fetus and mother.
  • Interventions are typically reserved for life-threatening fetal conditions with poor postnatal prognosis if untreated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of fetal conditions suitable for intrauterine therapy.
  • To review the evidence supporting various prenatal interventions.
  • To highlight the limited number of interventions rigorously evaluated in clinical trials.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on intrauterine interventions.
  • Analysis of evidence for specific fetal conditions and treatments.
  • Identification of conditions with established efficacy through controlled trials.

Main Results:

  • The scope and application of prenatal interventions have expanded considerably.
  • Controlled clinical trials supporting prenatal interventions remain limited.
  • Established successful interventions include laser therapy for feto-fetal transfusion syndrome, spina bifida closure, and tracheal occlusion for congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

Conclusions:

  • Careful patient selection is crucial due to the inherent risks of intrauterine interventions.
  • Further research and controlled trials are needed to validate more prenatal therapies.
  • Laser therapy, spina bifida repair, and tracheal occlusion represent key areas of successful intrauterine intervention.
