Tesarik","doi":"10.35841/2591-7366-c3-009","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35841/2591-7366-c3-009","url":null,"abstract":"P genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGTA) was originally performed by analyzing the first and the second polar body. However, it has later been increasingly performed by sampling trophectoderm (TE) cells from blastocysts. Recently, there is increasing concern about the reliability of this technique which has actually never been tested sufficiently in animal models and human preclinical studies. The main problems of PGTA using TE biopsy can be resumed as follows: (1) The frequency of aneuploid TE cells does not necessarily reflect that in the inner cell mass (ICM) which will give rise to the future fetus, (2) the distribution of euploid and aneuploid TE cells is not random but rather clonal, making it impossible to obtain reliable information about the frequency of aneuploidy in the whole embryo, and (3) the removal of TE cells is inherently traumatic, can decrease embryo implantation potential and produce long-term effects on the offspring health. Since, in many cases, PGTA is performed in older women, with only few and relatively fragile embryos, the technique based on TE biopsy can lead to an irreparable damage due to accidental embryo destruction or voluntary destruction of viable embryos deemed aneuploid because of a false positive PGTA result. By contrast, PGTA using non-invasive liquid biopsy is based on analysis of cell-free DNA released both from TE and ICM cells to culture medium, thus allowing a more objective ploidy evaluation of the whole embryo. Here I present the latest data obtained by comparing ploidy evaluation results obtained from cell-free DNA analysis with those obtained by analysis of DNA obtained from whole embryos donated for research from consenting patients. These results show clearly the superiority of non-invasive PGTA based on liquid biopsy (cell-free DNA) from spent culture media over the conventional TE biopsy, with a considerable reduction of interpretation errors.","PeriodicalId":254211,"journal":{"name":"Research and Reports in Gynecology and Obstetrics","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125794925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nausea can negatively affect nutritional habits, ability to work, motivation to follow recommended treatment regimens, and increase medical cost. Even with modern interventions to prevent, manage and treat nausea, some patients will still experience moderate to severe delayed nausea. Thus, there remains a need for risk assessment tools to avert the distress associated with symptoms in an effort to improve the well-being and quality of life of patients and their families. Chemotherapyinduced free radicals induce release of neurotransmitters that are known triggers of nausea. Therefore, we hypothesized that individual ability to scavenge free radicals could be used as indicator for nausea predictions.","PeriodicalId":254211,"journal":{"name":"Research and Reports in Gynecology and Obstetrics","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133451041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This grouping will provide recommendations on how these prognostic factors may be used to assess high-risk subgroups in different clinical situations and craft the ART treatment strategy according to risk assessment.","PeriodicalId":254211,"journal":{"name":"Research and Reports in Gynecology and Obstetrics","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130491855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The different species of these schistosomes have predilections for specific organs in the body, and signs and symptoms depend on which areas are affected. Cases of Schistosomiasis of the female reproductive tract are rare but have been seen in areas of the world where Schistosoma haematobium , in particular, is endemic. When Schistosomiasis involves the fallopian tubes, it produces fibrotic scars and tubal occlusion, leading to infertility and ectopic pregnancy. A thorough literature search has revealed no reported local case of tubal Schistosomiasis to date. Furthermore, the only Schistosoma species that has been found in the Philippines is Schistosoma japonicum , while the species most often isolated in tubal Schistosomiasis, in contrast, is Schistosoma haematobium . A case of a 32-year-old primigravid from Northern Samar, with amenorrhea of 8 weeks and 5 days, who presented with vaginal spotting and hypogastric pain is hereby reported. She underwent salpingostomy for ectopic pregnancy and was later, upon histopathological examination, found to have tubal infection by Schistosoma, which was treated with Praziquantel.
