Selection of Embryo & Transfer
Selection of embryos is a critical step in assisted reproductive technologies, aimed at identifying the healthiest and most viable embryos for transfer. Embryo selection involves analyzing the embryos' genetic makeup and morphology to increase the chances of a successful pregnancy. Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is one method used for embryo selection, allowing screening for genetic abnormalities before transfer. PGT can detect chromosomal abnormalities, single gene disorders, and structural rearrangements in embryos. Morphological assessment involves evaluating the embryo's appearance, cell number, and symmetry under a microscope. Time-lapse imaging is a technique that provides continuous monitoring of embryo development, aiding in better selection decisions. Comprehensive chromosome screening techniques, such as array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH) and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), can be used for PGT. Embryo grading systems, such as the Gardner or Cummins criteria, help embryologists rank embryos based on their quality. Embryos selected for transfer should ideally have a high chance of implantation and lower risk of miscarriage.

Upcoming Case Discussions
Gynaecologist’s Guide to Ovarian Cancer
Join us for a special webinar on World Ovarian Cancer Day, titled "Gynaecologist’s Guide to Ovarian Cancer." This expert-led session will delve into the latest advancements in early diagnosis, risk stratification, and evidence-based management of ovarian cancer. Tailored for gynecologists and healthcare professionals, the session will also explore real-world case discussions and multidisciplinary treatment approaches. Let’s come together to raise awareness and empower clinicians in the fight against this silent but deadly disease
Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
Sleep Apnea and Daytime Fatigue
Sleep Disorder Breathing is a term for a group of conditions with abnormal breathing patterns during sleep. This affects everyday functioning and well being.There are few types of SDB which include upper airways resistance, hypopnea, apnea, catathrenia and heavy snoring. People suffering with SDB can have daytime symptoms that result in poor sleep also. There can also be sleepiness, depressed mood, irritability and cognitive dysfunction.
