The Genetics of Embryo
Embryo genetics is a fascinating field of study that seeks to understand the genetic basis of human development from conception to birth. In this webinar, we will explore the latest research on embryo genetics and its applications in assisted reproduction, genetic counseling, and prenatal diagnosis. We will discuss the various techniques used to study embryo genetics, including preimplantation genetic testing, whole genome sequencing, and single-cell sequencing. We will also delve into the ethical and social implications of embryo genetic testing and explore the ways in which this technology can be used to promote healthy pregnancies and prevent genetic diseases.

Case Discussion on Management of Uterine Fibroids
About the Webinar: Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that grow in the wall of the uterus. They can cause a variety of symptoms, including heavy bleeding, pain, and infertility. Management of uterine fibroids can involve a range of treatment options, depending on the severity of the condition. The first step in managing uterine fibroids is to identify the type, size, and location of the fibroids. This can be done through imaging tests such as an ultrasound or MRI. Once the type, size, and location of the fibroids are determined, the most appropriate treatment option can be chosen. Some fibroids do not require treatment, especially if they are small and do not cause any symptoms. However, if fibroids are causing symptoms or affecting fertility, treatment may be necessary. The management of uterine fibroids can be divided into two categories: medical and surgical. Medical management involves the use of medication to control symptoms or shrink the fibroids.
Case Discussion on Cervical lesions
Cervical lesions are abnormal changes in the cells that make up the cervix. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Cervical lesions are often caused by a viral infection called human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a common sexually transmitted infection that can cause genital warts and other health problems. Most women who have HPV never develop cervical lesions or cancer. However, some types of HPV can lead to abnormal cell growth in the cervix. Cervical lesions are typically classified as low-grade or high-grade, depending on the severity of the abnormal cells. Low-grade cervical lesions may go away on their own without treatment. High-grade cervical lesions are more likely to progress to cancer if left untreated. The most common symptom of cervical lesions is abnormal bleeding or discharge. Other symptoms may include pain during sex or urination, or a lump or growth on the cervix. Cervical lesions can be diagnosed through a Pap smear or other tests that examine cells from the cervix. If cervical lesions are detected, additional tests may be needed to determine their severity and potential for cancer. Treatment for cervical lesions may include removal of the abnormal cells or more extensive surgery, depending on the severity of the lesions. In some cases, a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) may be necessary to treat cervical lesions that have progressed to cancer.
Case discussion on Laparoscopic Myomectomy
Laparoscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to remove uterine fibroids, which are non-cancerous growths that develop in the uterus. During a laparoscopic myomectomy, the surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera and light, to visualize the uterus and fibroids. The surgeon then uses specialized surgical instruments to remove the fibroids while preserving the healthy tissue of the uterus. Benefits of laparoscopic myomectomy include smaller incisions, less pain and scarring, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. However, not all women are candidates for laparoscopic myomectomy, and the procedure may not be appropriate for large or numerous fibroids or certain locations within the uterus.
“Impact of Pregnancy on Long Term Health World Women’s Day”
Pregnancy can have both positive and negative impacts on a woman's long-term health, depending on various factors such as age, pre-existing health conditions, and lifestyle habits. It can increase the risk of developing certain chronic health conditions such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, especially in women who had gestational diabetes or preeclampsia during their pregnancy. On the other hand, pregnancy is known to have a protective effect against certain types of cancer such as ovarian and endometrial cancer, especially if a woman has had multiple pregnancies. It can have lasting effects on a woman's mental health, with some studies suggesting that women who experience postpartum depression may have an increased risk of depression and anxiety in the long-term.
