Introduction
Advances in assisted reproductive technology for infertile couples were among the great medical successes of the last century.
ART has made huge strides and fast progress towards finding suitable treatment options for each infertile couple

Kisspeptins
The First IVF baby born by Kisspeptins 2013 at
Hammer smith hospital, U.K

What are Kisspeptins?
Naturally occuring hormones which is an important regulator of reproductive axis , and it is safer as the chance OHSS is reduced.
Instead of HCG, Kisspeptin is used as the trigger
Dosage is still under trial ( 0.6-1.2 nmol)
![Page 9: What is new in IVF(In Vitro Fertility)?](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042601/554ae71eb4c905a37c8b5268/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Mild stimulation Protocols The "mild" stimulation approach for IVF treatment is aimed
to develop more patient-friendly protocols in which the risks are minimized and the results are still acceptable .
A "mild" IVF cycle is defined (ISMAAR association) either as (a) a stimulation regimen in which gonadotropins are administered at a lower-than-usual dose and/or for a shorter duration throughout a cycle in which GnRH antagonist is given as co-treatment.
(b) a stimulation in which oral compounds (e.g. anti-estrogens) are used either alone or in combination with gonadotropins and GnRH-antagonists.

Male Infertility Per Cutaneous Epidydimo aspiration.
(PESA) Testicular epidydimo sperm aspiration.(TESA) Microsurgical epidydimo sperm aspiration
(MESA) Harvesting sperm from testicular tissue+ICSI:- Even in patients with sertoli cell only syndrome scattered pockets of sperms exist .Even with FSH> 3times ,sperms are found in30%of cases ( Kim et al: 2012)
![Page 11: What is new in IVF(In Vitro Fertility)?](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042601/554ae71eb4c905a37c8b5268/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Exciting new development in male infertility
In non –Obstructive azoospermia:
Though these men may have no sperm in their semen, we can now find sperm between the cells of
the testicles in almost half of these cases.
By using an operating microscope and doing micro dissection TESE, pregnancies have been acheived in one third of those men in whom sperm can be found within the testicle
![Page 12: What is new in IVF(In Vitro Fertility)?](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042601/554ae71eb4c905a37c8b5268/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ICSI-Micro TESE 179 cycles of Non- Obstructive azoospermia
22 cycles done
Fertilisation rate : 33.2%
6 Cycles chemical pregnancy
3 cycles :Normal pregnancies with 3 healthy babies.
(Ragaa.T Mansour et al:2013).
Fertilisation rate :48.3%
Pregnancy rate :28.9% ( Sousa. M.:Hum. Repro. 2012)
![Page 13: What is new in IVF(In Vitro Fertility)?](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042601/554ae71eb4c905a37c8b5268/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Advanced Sperm Preparation methods
Newer strategies of sperm preparation . 1. Morphological assessment by means of ‘motile sperm organelle morphological examination (MSOME)' :-
2. Electrical charge: This from the seminal plasma membrane –zeta potential-allows them to adhere to the surface of a positively charged tube. The resulting population has better quality, with normal DNA and chromatin condensation
3. Molecular binding characteristics of the sperm cell: The two methods currently used are sperm binding to
AnnexinV and Hyaluronan(PICSI)
4. Raman microspectrometry and Polarisation microscopy are in the offing
( Henkel R : Asian j.of Andrology:2012)
![Page 14: What is new in IVF(In Vitro Fertility)?](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042601/554ae71eb4c905a37c8b5268/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Motile sperm organelle morphological examination (MSOME). With MSOME, the morphological status of the acrosome,
post-acrosomal lamina, neck, mitochondria, flagellum and the sperm nucleus is examined. For the latter, the shape, as well as the presence and size of vacuoles, is observed.
The combination of MSOME and ICSI has been named intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection (IMSI).
IMSI has beenshown to increase fertilisation rate, blasocyst formation rate,implantation and pregnancy rates.
( Setti et al :Repro.bio.med.online:2013)

Can we select the best embryo?
Attempts have been made to do so
![Page 19: What is new in IVF(In Vitro Fertility)?](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042601/554ae71eb4c905a37c8b5268/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The best available method for embryo selection is morphological evaluation.
(Ebner et al., 2003; Gerris, 2005).
However implantation rates in general do not exceed 35%, although varying results have been reported,
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention et al., 2010). Hence a strong drive for finding alternative
selection methods
![Page 20: What is new in IVF(In Vitro Fertility)?](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042601/554ae71eb4c905a37c8b5268/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: What is new in IVF(In Vitro Fertility)?](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042601/554ae71eb4c905a37c8b5268/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Preimplantation genetic screening (PGS).
The biopsy at Day 3 of embryo development of a single cell and analysis of this cell by fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) for aneuploidies, for a limited number of chromosomes.
![Page 22: What is new in IVF(In Vitro Fertility)?](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042601/554ae71eb4c905a37c8b5268/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Selection of best embryo by CGH array Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis with
testing of all 23 pairs of chromosomes by a microarray technique, which allows us to differentiate chromosomally normal from abnormal embryos
Replace only the normal ones on day five, discarding the abnormal embryos
![Page 23: What is new in IVF(In Vitro Fertility)?](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042601/554ae71eb4c905a37c8b5268/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Selection of single blastocysts for fresh transfer with array CGH and standard morphology alone for good prognosis IVF patients.
Clinical preg. Rate -70.9%vs 45.8% Ongoing preg.rate -69.1%vs 41.7% Twin - nil Aneuploidy rate -44.9% among biopsied blastocysts

PGD
Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis can also be utilised for translocations and single gene defects, eg. BRCA1 and BRCA2 and cystic fibrosis
![Page 25: What is new in IVF(In Vitro Fertility)?](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042601/554ae71eb4c905a37c8b5268/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Non Invasive methods –”Omics”
High-tech, non-invasive methods to select the best embryo includes metabolomic profiling, amino acid profiling, respiration-rate measurement and birefringence imaging.
(Nagy, 2008).
![Page 26: What is new in IVF(In Vitro Fertility)?](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042601/554ae71eb4c905a37c8b5268/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Metabolomic profiling: spectrophotometric tests are used to measure metabolomic changes in the culture medium of embryos.
Proteomic profiling: proteins produced by the embryo and released into the culture medium are identified.
Amino acid profiling: amino acid depletion and production by the embryo is assessed using the culture medium
![Page 27: What is new in IVF(In Vitro Fertility)?](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042601/554ae71eb4c905a37c8b5268/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Respiration-rate measurement: the respiration rate of embryos is assessed.
Birefringence imaging:polarization light microscopy is used to assess the meiotic spindle or the zona pellucida .

Time Lapse Imaging Now the incubator is hooked upto a video
system capturing thousands of images of embryo upto blastocyst.
A normal embryo forms a blastocyst 6hrs earlier than an abnormal one.
The embryos need not be disturbed as in the conventional IVF. Better success orates are claimed. Still waiting for a randomised controlled trial.

Sperm/egg from embryonic stem cell In 2008, a flurry of announcements revealed further
developments with human same-sex reproduction, with a patent application filed by an American researcher.(Gregory Aharonian) specifically on methods for creating human female sperm using artificial or natural Y chromosomes and testicular transplantation.[( Human same sex reproduction project)
A UK-based group, in an interview, predicted they would be able to create human female sperm within five years.[ McRay,Fiona:2008)
Another group at the Butantan Institute in Brazil is working on creating male eggs from embryonic stem cells, and if successful, from adult skin cells, though their current experiments are on mice

To Conclude
The field of Reproductive medicine is fast progressing.
Aim of infertility treatment is to be simple, safe, successful and cheap.
In donar programmes, surrogacy,same sex reproduction etc there is a lot of political,legal and ethical issues involved.
Future looks like a well-lit tunnel
