Drs Foulk, Slater, and Whitten and our nurse practioners, Anne-Marie and Mandy, attended the 2010 American Society of Reproductive Medicine meeting in Denver, Colorado. They attended lectures regarding recent research on topics such as embryo cryopreservation, embryo pre-genetic diagnostic techniques, molecular signaling, and ethical issues associated with reproductive medicine.
The 2010 Nobel Prize in Medicine went to Robert Edwards, a man whose work led to the first in-vitro fertilization "test tube baby". This is an achievement that has helped to bring 4 million infants into the world.
UFC is currently completing a clinical trial comparing subcutaneous injectable progesterone supplementation to vaginally administered progesterone suppositories.
UFC will soon be participating in a genetic study. Patients who participate in this study will receive free genetic screening of all 23 sets of chromosomes on their biopsied embryos during an in-vitro fertilization cycle.
UFC will soon be participating in an egg freezing study. Eggs will be cryopreserved by a method called vitrification. Vitrification offers high survival rates and there is much promising data regarding oocyte and embryo vitrification results.
Dr. Slater recently gave a lecture at an Oncology conference discussing fertility options after cancer diagnosis. There are increasingly more fertility options for cancer survivors.
Dr. Foulk, Dr. Slater, and Dr. Whitten attended the 65th Annual American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. The scientific program included information on egg freezing, cryopreservation techniques, elective single embryo transfer, genetic testing, male reproductive health, gamete selection criteria, reproductive surgery, and much more. It was a very informative meeting.
Dr. Slater recently lectured on polycystic ovarian syndrome in adolescents. Together, gynecologists and pediatricians are trying to diagnose and treat polycystic ovarian syndrome sooner to improve young women's quality of life.
