Edwards et al. in the UK producing the first IVF baby, Louise Brown.[1] The 2010 Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to Robert G. Edwards.[2]
2. Identify a recent paper on fertilization and describe its key findings.
Impact of Anticardiolipin Antibody on the Outcome of In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer
3. Identify 2 congenital anomalies.
Congenital anomalies are abnormal structural formations of a newborn baby. Two malformations are Spina Bifida and Tetralogy of Fallot. Spina Bifida is a neural tube defect which is characterised by
