May Grand Rounds: Restorative Surgery
Dr. Patrick Yeung reviews the differences between ART/IVF and Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM) and the importance to offer alternatives to IVF to patients. Current surgical approaches and factors to consider in timing a laparoscopy for suspected endometriosis. Dr. José Antonio and Dr. Stanford facilitate Q & A following the presentation.
April Grand Rounds: Implantation failure, infertility and endometrial biomarkers in the detection of endometriosis
Bruce A Lessey MD, PhD. discusses the biomarkers of endometrial receptivity and diagnostics for endometriosis, including the use of BCL6 testing. Review timing and synchrony of the embryo, progesterone, and endometrium that occur in a successful pregnancy. Discuss how to approach treatment and predict pregnancy outcomes with this information.
March Grand Rounds: Endoscopic management of the unexplained infertility, what does it add?
Professor Stephan Gordts presents a systematic minimal invasive exploration of so-called "unexplained infertility" (normal ultrasound/normal HSG) reveals the presence of pelvic pathology on 50-70 % of patients. In the absence of other fertility impairing factors, like male infertility, he looks at the different treatments of these pathologies to create the possibilities for normal conception.
March Journal Club: Lisinopril for Male Infertility: An Update and Mechanism of Action
Dr. Paul Carpentier provides an update and review on the use of Lisinopril for Male infertility, discussing the article, "Angiotensin-converting enzymes play a dominant role infertility". The biochemistry background of angiotensin-converting enzymes (ACEs) in Male Fertility is also reviewed, with discussion following.
January Journal Club: Unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss and unexplained infertility
"Is B-cell CLL/lymphoma 6 (BCL6) endometrial expression, a surrogate biomarker of endometriosis, elevated in women with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (uRPL) and unexplained infertility (UI) compared to fertile subjects?". What could this study suggest for potential treatment and future investigations for recurrent miscarriage and unexplained pregnancy loss? Review the findings of this study in the IIRRM Journal club with Dr. Joe Stanford.
December Journal Club: Early pregnancy ultrasound measurements and prediction of first-trimester pregnancy loss
In our last Journal club of 2021 Dr Stanford facilitates and reviews the article, Early pregnancy ultrasound measurements and prediction of first-trimester pregnancy loss: A logistic model. The authors suggest a statistical model for determining the likelihood of first-trimester pregnancy loss based on ultrasound markers in early pregnancy.
