Trumbull, CT (PRWEB) December 26, 2014 Park Avenue Fertility and Reproductive Medicine (PAFRM), located in Trumbull, CT with satellite offices in both Norwalk and Fairfield, CT, is proud to announce technological advances involving their IVF medical treatment protocols as well in their IVF laboratory. Says Founder and Medical Director, Dr. Andrew Levi, Unlike other large volume-driven IVF centers, we are able to recommend IVF protocols to patients that are more personalized, are focused on both embryo quality and embryo implantation, and that ultimately will lead to higher pregnancy and live-birth rates. We have come to recognize that our attention to detail and personalized care makes a difference in terms of the end result a successful pregnancy. We believe that our team of clinicians and embryology staff delivers the highest level of fertility care in the state of Connecticut. In addition to the utilization of novel stimulation protocols, PAFRM continues to focus on elective single embryo transfer (eSET). Using eSET, the center has excelled in achieving the highest pregnancy rates while minimizing multiple pregnancies. Dr. Levi adds, One of the ways that we are able to attain such high pregnancy rates is by using a technique called Comprehensive Chromosome Screening, known … Continue reading →

Norwalk, CT (PRWEB) December 23, 2014 EggBanxx, which offers egg freezing financing through a national network of fertility doctors, and Reproductive Medicine Associates of Connecticut (RMACT), the leading fertility practice in Fairfield County, are now partners. Through the partnership, women in Connecticut and surrounding areas interested in oocyte cryopreservation commonly called egg freezing can easily identify a board certified expert and secure a financial plan. When choosing a fertility doctor, EggBanxx recommends women find a practice with board certified reproductive endocrinologists that proves itself skilled through exemplary pregnancy rates, has a reputation of a caring staff, and maintains a superior embryology lab, says Jay Palumbo, Director of Patient Care at EggBanxx. That is why RMACT is the right partner for us. RMACT uses the most scientifically advanced form of egg freezing, called vitrification, which significantly improves oocyte survival and pregnancy rates compared to older techniques. Vitrification uses a combination of sugar molecules, electrolytes, and liquid nitrogen, to rapidly freeze eggs in just 15 minutes. This maintains the delicate architecture of the human egg, or oocyte, and virtually eliminates crystallization that had plagued older techniques. Vitrification turns the idea of egg freezing into a scientifically sound, viable option for women, says … Continue reading →

"The Government has run a comprehensive and transparent process over the lifetime of this Parliament to review the public acceptability of mitochondrial donation and the ongoing evidence of safety and efficacy of the new techniques involved, said public health minister Jane Ellison in a written statement. The time is now right to give Parliament the opportunity to consider and vote on these regulations. Around one in every 200 babies born in the UK has a severe mitochondrial disease. Although rare, the disorders can be passed to future generations through the maternal line. Examples of mitochondrial diseases include conditions that cause muscle wasting, nerve damage, loss of sight and heart failure. Chief Medical Officer, Professor Dame Sally Davies said: Mitochondrial donation will give women who carry severe mitochondrial disease the opportunity to have children without passing on devastating genetic disorders. It will also keep the UK at the forefront of scientific development in this area. If the new laws are voted in, it will be up to the fertility regulator, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), to decide whether a treatment can go ahead on a case-by-case basis. Mitochondrial transfer will only be allowed when there is a "significant risk" … Continue reading →

Proposals to make the UK the first country in the world to allow three-parent babies to be born have been strongly criticised by a Christian charity. Nola Leach, the Chief Executive of CARE, said draft legislation introduced in parliament yesterday raises "profound ethical and identity questions" as well as "huge, unanswered safety concerns". "It is quite extraordinary that the Government should contemplate asking MPs to vote on this hugely controversial legislation just before a General Election," she added. Under the rules introduced by Public Health Minister Jane Ellison, IVF clinics will legally be able to replace defective mitochondrial DNA from an egg with healthy DNA given by a donor. This process known as "mitochondrial replacement therapy" would reduce the number of children born with serious inherited diseases such as muscular dystrophy, but would also mean those children would technically have two mothers, or three parents in all. Ellison said in a written statement: "The Government has run a comprehensive and transparent process over the lifetime of this Parliament to review the public acceptability of mitochondrial donation and the ongoing evidence of safety and efficacy of the new techniques involved. "The time is now right to give Parliament the opportunity to … Continue reading →

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 16-Dec-2014 Contact: Camille Gamboa camille.gamboa@sagepub.com SAGE Publications Los Angeles, CA (November 16, 2014) A new article reports that despite a clear lack of research on male survivors of Ebola, the current recommended practice of waiting at least three months after recovery to have unprotected sex should be upheld. This study was published today in Reproductive Sciences, a SAGE journal. "Our exercise demonstrated that the current recommendations to prevent the sexual spread of Ebola are based on one mere observation," the researchers wrote. "Despite the evident need to conduct more research, for now, health care professionals should strongly recommend sexual abstinence or condom-protected encounters for at least three months." Drs. Walter Cardona-Maya, Paula Velilla Hernandez, and Daniel Henao studied research from 1977 to 2007 on men in the convalescent phase of the Ebola virus (i.e. symptoms were fading and they were in recovery). They found only four studies that report male survivors of Ebola who donated convalescent semen. For these men, the virus persisted in their semen for an average of 66.6 days, and in one case, it persisted for 91 days. The researchers continued, "The current Ebola Virus Disease outbreak is the longest and largest we have … Continue reading →
