Embryology courses - What you need to know?

Embryology courses — What you need to know?

As infertility in India is on the rise, where every one couple in a six is going through challenges related to infertility, the demand for qualified professionals in embryology is rising.

Many super-specialty fertility clinics are offering assisted reproductive treatments. The field of assisted reproductive technology is continuously evolving, and this needs one to undergo the right training to become an embryologist.

An embryologist is an expert who does the study of eggs, sperm, and the embryos that they create. They are involved in IVF treatment of the patients right from the stage of diagnosis. The job of an embryologist is to test sperms and eggs to ascertain if there are any defects that they need to address before fertilization. The embryologists are responsible for following during an IVF cycle:

Evaluating and making ready high-quality sperm.

Evaluating and ascertaining the quality of harvested eggs.

Fertilizing the eggs with sperm at times they may have to use intracytoplasmic sperm injection, in which the sperm is injected into the cytoplasm of the egg.

Keeping a check on embryos when they are developing and ensuring their health and quality.

Perform assisted hatching when the outer shell of the embryo becomes thin. Then embryologists use a laser to help implant the embryo.

Loading of the best quality embryos into the transfer catheter for embryo transfer.

Cryo-preserve the extra embryos that were not transferred during the IVF procedure so they may be kept for later use.

Another important role of embryologists is to perform preimplantation genetic diagnosis or PGD. During this test, they remove and analyze a single cell to rule out any genetic diseases in the embryo. This PGD process helps ensure the transfer of healthy embryos, which decreases the likelihood of miscarriage.

Qualification to be an embryologist:

A candidate who has passed Bachelor’s degree or Master’s degree in life sciences, zoology, biochemistry, applied microbiology, biotechnology, genetics, or molecular biology.

2 An M.B.B.S., BDS, BVSc, BHMS, or BAMS is qualified to become an embryologist.

HYDROSALPHINX

HYDROSALPHINX

A hydrosalpinx is a blocked, dilated, fluid-filled fallopian tube

Hydrosalpinx may occur as an isolated adnexal lesion or as one component of a complex adnexal lesion that has caused distal tubal occlusion . The most common cause of distal tubal occlusion and hydrosalpinx is pelvic inflammatory disease. Other causes include endometriosis, peritubal adhesions from a previous operation, tubal cancer, and tubal pregnancy.

Ultrasound

• thin- or thick-walled (in chronic cases)

• elongated or folded, tubular, C-shaped, or S-shaped fluid-filled structure

• distinct from the uterus and ovary.

.The folds may produce a characteristic “cogwheel” appearance when imaged in cross section. These folds are pathognomonic of a hydrosalpinx. Indentations on the opposite sides of the wall is referred to as the waist sign which is a strong predictor of hydrosalpinx. The waist sign in combination with a tubular-shaped cystic mass has been found to be pathognomonic of a hydrosalpinx .The ‘beads-on-a-string’ sign is described as hyperechoic mural nodules measuring about 2–3 mm and seen on cross-section of the fluid-filled distended structure

Sometimes the dilated fallopian tube may not show longitudinal folds. If the elongated nature of these folds is not noted, they may be mistaken for mural nodules of an ovarian cystic mass. A significantly scarred hydrosalpinx may present as a multilocular cystic mass with multiple septa (often incomplete) creating multiple compartments. These septa are generally incomplete, and the compartments can be connected. However, with more pronounced scarring, differentiation from an ovarian mass may not be possible.

(d)Transverse sonograms show distended funneled distal end of hydrosalpinx

(e) Image showing incomplete septae

(f) No flow seen with color Doppler

(g) Cogwheel sign-swollen walls and swollen mucosal folds

Numerous studies have shown that hydrosalpinges have a detrimental effect on IVF success rates. Two meta-analyses of these studies noted that the pregnancy, implantation, and delivery rates were approximately 50% lower and that the spontaneous abortion rate was higher in the presence of hydrosalpinges . This finding may be due to mechanical flushing of the embryos from the uterine cavity, decreased endometrial receptivity, or a direct embryotoxic effect . Patients with hydrosalpinges visible on ultrasound may be more significantly affected . Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing pregnancy rates and outcomes with IVF for women with hydrosalpinges, with or without prior laparoscopic salpingectomy, reported that salpingectomy restores the rates of pregnancy and live birth to levels similar to those of women without hydrosalpinx

A Cochrane analysis concluded that laparoscopic salpingectomy or occlusion should be considered before IVF for women with communicating hydrosalpinges . Even patients with a unilateral hydrosalpinx have been shown to have lower pregnancy rates with IVF . Unilateral salpingectomy resulted in a significant improvement in IVF pregnancy rates in these patients . However, salpingectomies for bilateral hydrosalpinges yielded higher IVF pregnancy rates than for unilateral hydrosalpinges

ENDOMETRIOSIS

ENDOMETRIOSIS

Ultrasound is a reliable first‐line imaging modality for the assessment of patients with gynaecological concerns. In patients with suspected endometriosis, ultrasound serves three purposes. First, it is used to evaluate the aetiology of the patient’s symptoms. Second, it has the potential to map the disease location. Lastly, it can ascertain the extent of disease. From a clinical perspective, these products of ultrasound may benefit patients by ensuring a thorough understanding of disease by both the patient, who needs to provide informed consent to treatment options, and the physician, who may adequately prepare for potentially advanced surgical procedures. In many cases, when deep endometriosis (DE) exists, physicians need to consider referral to an appropriate gynaecologic surgeon with advanced skill. The multidisciplinary input of other specialists such as colorectal or urologic surgeons or fertility specialist may also be necessary.

Recently, the International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) group published a systematic approach to sonographically evaluate the pelvis in patients with suspected endometriosis. This consensus statement was developed to standardise anatomical landmarks, nomenclature of disease and the components of an ultrasound seeking to identify DE. A four‐step system was introduced, including routine evaluation of the uterus and adnexa, evaluation of soft markers such as site‐specific tenderness (SST), assessment of the pouch of Douglas (POD) using the ‘sliding sign’ and, finally, assessing the presence of DE nodules compartmentally throughout the pelvis

The ultrasound:

uterus The orientation (anteverted, retroverted or military) and dimensions in three orthogonal planes should be recorded. Patients with endometriosis have a high likelihood of concurrent adenomyosis and as such, signs of this should be sought. In addition, the ‘question mark sign’, signifying a fixed anteverted/retroflexed uterus with the fundus adhered posteriorly to the rectum and/or sigmoid colon can represent adenomyosis and/or endometriosis and should be documented

The ultrasound:

adnexa Includes evaluation of the ovaries and Fallopian tubes. The entire ovarian size should be measured in three orthogonal planes. Any abnormalities should be quantified, measured and documented. The sonographic characteristics of any ovarian abnormality should be described according to terminology published by the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) group Ovarian mobility can be judged by applying pressure to the ovaries using the TV probe. Non‐mobile ovaries are considered a ‘soft marker’ potentially signifying superficial pelvic endometriosis and/or DE. The mobility of the ovaries is assessed against the pelvic side wall laterally, uterus medially, uterosacral ligaments (USLs) inferiorly and each other ‘Kissing’ ovaries, an ultrasound diagnosis of ovaries fixed to each other indirectly indicates intra‐abdominal adhesions and possibly underlying DE of the Fallopian tubes and/or bowel.

Hydrosalpinx or hematosalpinx may be identified in endometriosis.

The ultrasound: site‐specific tenderness

SST-‘soft markers’- The key anatomic locations to assess in this component of the scan include the uterus, adnexa, USLs and POD. Currently, the IDEA group recommends a scoring system of 0 or 1; 0 for no pain and 1 for pain. However, this test is still limited in that no scoring system has been validated as yet.

The ultrasound: Sliding sign

The test is considered positive when the uterus and cervix move independently (i.e. slide) along the anterior rectum and sigmoid . Clinically and surgically, this is reassuring for a non‐obliterated POD. Conversely, if the uterus and cervix move in unison with the anterior rectum and sigmoid, the test is negative and the POD is thought to be obliterated.

Schematic Drawing Demonstrating How to Elicit the ‘Sliding Sign’ in an Anteverted Uterus (a) and Retroverted Uterus

The ultrasound: anterior and the posterior compartment

Lesions may appear as hypoechoic linear or spherical lesions, with or without regular contours . The uterovesical region should be examined for tethering to the uterus (i.e. obliteration of the space). The concept of the ‘sliding sign’ can be applied here as well. The operator should hold the TV probe in the anterior fornix with one hand and the other hand should be placed over the suprapubic region. By balloting the uterus between the probe and hand, the operator can judge whether the posterior bladder slides freely over the anterior uterine wall, When the bladder and uterus move together, the operator should document a negative ‘sliding sign’, representing an obliterated space. An independently moving bladder from the uterus represents a positive ‘sliding sign’.

The posterior compartment sites include USLs, posterior vaginal fornix, rectovaginal septum (RVS), anterior rectum, anterior rectosigmoid junction and sigmoid colon. Done by gently placing the TV probe in the posterior vaginal fornix
