1. Identify the origin of In Vitro Fertilization and the 2010 nobel prize winner associated with this technique.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), is a type of Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART). It stems from the Latin word "vitro" meaning "glass" and refers to the process of fertilization undertaken in a test tube/laboratory environment. In 1978 IVF was first conducted by Robert G. 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 for this advancement.[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 Myelomeningocele and Tetralogy of Fallot. Myelomeningocele, commonly known as Spina Bifida is a neural tube defect where the spinal canal does not completely fuse with the backbone prior to birth.[3] Tetralogy of Fallot is a heart defect which is characterised by: ventricular septal defect; thickened muscular wall of right ventricle; aorta stems from both left and right ventricle; decrease in size of the artery and valve connecting the lungs and heart. This results in cyanosis. [4]
