Outcomes of trophectoderm biopsy on cryopreserved blastocysts: a case series.

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is an increasingly common adjunct to IVF. The information gained from PGD may be used to reduce the incidence of chromosomally abnormal pregnancies and augment the current selection process of embryos. As such, patients may choose to utilize PGD in either fresh or cryopreserved IVF cycles.

Informatics enhanced SNP microarray analysis of 30 miscarriage samples compared to routine cytogenetics.

Purpose: The metaphase karyotype is often used as a diagnostic tool in the setting of early miscarriage; however this technique has several limitations. We evaluate a new technique for karyotyping that uses single nucleotide polymorphism microarrays (SNP). This technique was compared in a blinded, prospective fashion, to the traditional metaphase karyotype.

Sextuplet heterotopic pregnancy presenting as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and hemoperitoneum.

Objective: To describe a case of bilateral ruptured heterotopic pregnancies presenting as persistent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in a quadruplet pregnancy.

Design: Case report.

Setting: University hospital and clinic.

Ovarian stimulation and the risk of aneuploid conceptions.

Objective: To examine the rate of aneuploidy in missed abortions in patients who conceived after FSH ovarian stimulation compared with women who conceived in a natural cycle.

Design: Retrospective cohort.

Setting: Academic reproductive endocrinology and infertility center.

Basal follicle-stimulating hormone as a predictor of fetal aneuploidy.

Objective: To determine whether an elevated basal FSH concentration is an independent predictor of fetal aneuploidy, as measured in spontaneous abortions (SAB).

Design: Retrospective study.

Setting: Academic reproductive endocrinology and infertility center.

Bladder hematoma after vaginal paracentesis.

Puncture of the bladder wall with a 17-gauge needle is usually safe; however, in the patient on anticoagulation, inadvertent puncture of the bladder could result in bladder hematoma formation.
