AI helps couple achieve pregnancy after 18 years of failed IVF cycles: Fertility expert explains how tech can make this happen

After 20 years, a couple in the US is expecting to be parents as the woman has achieved pregnancy after a series of unsuccessful attempts of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF), where the eggs and sperm are fertilised outside the body in a laboratory and the resulting embryo is transferred into the woman's uterus. That was because the man had very low sperm. And even the little that was there was hidden and undetectable by an embryologist. But now thanks to an artificial intelligence system, previously undetectable sperm can not only be identified but harvested for use. The STAR (Sperm Tracking and Recovery) system, developed at Columbia University Fertility Centre in New York, is expected to help men with azoospermia, a condition where no sperm is easily found in the semen. This technology is a breakthrough because it can harvest hidden semen, has a non-invasive extraction method and can offer an option to men battling fertility issues. This method costs under $3,000 (Rs 2.6 lakh). 'This is an example where technology multiplies human efforts. Even embryologists currently do the same thing. But now AI can assist them in identifying the sperm even better,' says Dr Anjali Malpani, IVF specialist and founder of Malpani Infertility Clinic. A typical semen sample usually has millions of sperm. But some men have really low counts, so much so that they can't be seen even after centrifugation (spinning the semen sample to concentrate the sperm) and hours of meticulous searching under a microscope. This is different from ejaculatory duct disorders, which prevent sperm from being ejaculated despite being produced in healthy numbers in the testes, usually due to a blockage. Then we use a needle to extract the healthy sperm. Azoospermia is diagnosed when no sperm can be found in at least two separate semen samples analyzed after centrifugation. So we study multiple ejaculates, which means collecting and analyzing multiple semen samples to confirm the absence of sperm. We usually collect the samples in quick succession, within an hour or two. This is done because sperm production can fluctuate, and a single semen analysis might not accurately reflect the overall situation. Multiple samples help account for these variations. Then an embryologist studies them to see if they can be used for IVF or not. Now the semen sample is placed on a chip under a microscope. AI connects to the microscope through a high-speed camera and with high-powered imaging technology scans it. The STAR system takes more than 8 million images in under an hour to find what it has been trained to identify as a sperm cell. It can isolate sperm faster in the sample, allowing embryologists to recover cells that they could not have just with their eyes. So AI is amplifying the embryologist's vision. Of course, each IVF case has different complexities which require the experience of a trained embryologist. But in resource-scarce settings and in the absence of a good embryologist, AI can scan sperm and eggs based on the dataset of thousands of samples that have been fed into them. Still I would say that an embryologist can grade embryos — assessing the quality and developmental potential of embryos — better.

Haryana's vigilance dept arrests Palwal Chief Medical Officer for accepting bribe

The Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau of Haryana on Thursday arrested Dr Jai Bhagwan, Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of Palwal, for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 1 lakh. The Gurgaon unit of the Vigilance department also recovered an additional Rs 3 lakh in cash from a cupboard at the doctor's official residence in Palwal during a raid. Dr Bhagwan has been booked under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act and Section 308(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) that deals with punishment for extortion, at the State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau Police Station in Faridabad. According to the complainant who runs Sunrise Trauma Hospital in Palwal along with three others, Dr Bhagwan had been threatening to shut down their hospital, citing operational deficiencies. The CMO allegedly demanded Rs 15 lakh to allow the hospital to continue functioning, claiming he needed to pay off other officials. The complainant stated that he had already paid Rs 6 lakh about 20 days ago and an additional Rs 1 lakh on Wednesday. Dr Bhagwan then demanded the remaining Rs 8 lakh, of which the complainant arranged Rs 1 lakh for payment Thursday night, leading to the sting operation by the Vigilance Bureau. The Vigilance department has urged the public to report bribe demands by government officials to the toll-free numbers 1800-180-2022 or 1064 for prompt action. In January, the Haryana Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) had recovered Rs 3.65 crore and gold worth Rs 6.5 lakh from the residence of a retired Haryana Development and Panchayat department official. The recovery came after the ACB conducted a raid at the Panchkula residence of the official in connection with a scam worth Rs 50 crore and arrested the accused, identified as Shamsher Singh, who had retired on November 30 last year. ACB officials had said that currency notes were found in a bed and almirahs at Shamsher's house at Panchkula Sector 28. The ACB had registered a case on January 24 this year against junior officials of Haryana Development and Panchayat department posted in Faridabad apart from a outsourcing services firm. An audit report of Comptroller of Auditor General (CAG) had earlier found that funds were disbursed to the Palwal District Development and Panchayat Officer for the financial years 2023-24 and 2024-25 without approval of Chief Accounts Officer of the panchayat department.

Top US doctor warns of common habits that are silently harming the gut

Harvard-trained gastroenterologist Dr. Saurabh Sethi highlights common habits silently harming gut health. Eating too fast triggers bloating, while artificial sweeteners disrupt the gut microbiome. Skipping meals leads to insulin spikes, and sleep deprivation weakens the gut lining. Excessive painkiller use damages the digestive tract. Dr. At a time when we are constantly bombarded by food vloggers glorifying midnight junk food cravings and online wellness influencers pushing the so-called gut-detox drinks, a Harvard doctor is urging people to hit pause and pay closer attention to their everyday habits. Dr. Saurabh Sethi, a California-based gastroenterologist trained at Harvard and Stanford, has shared a list of common habits that are silently destroying gut health. The gut doctor said that these common habits could be wreaking havoc on your digestive system. Let's take a look. Eating too fast Life has gotten so busy that many people barely take the time to sit down and enjoy a meal. Rushing through meals has become more common. Though many won't understand the danger behind it, Dr. Sethi warned that this habit can affect gut health. He noted that eating too fast can trigger bloating and acid reflux. When you eat too quickly, you often fail to chew your food properly. This forces the stomach to work harder to break down food, which can lead to discomfort and strain on the digestive system. The fix? Take your time. Give yourself at least 20 minutes per meal to improve digestion and reduce symptoms. Turning to artificial sweeteners Dr. Sethi has warned against using too many artificial sweeteners. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Нов таблет с Android Pro 14 Murreice Купете сега Undo Artificial sweeteners like sucralose and aspartame, found in many diet sodas and sugar-free products, may seem harmless, but can disrupt gut health. These sweeteners can alter the gut microbiome and potentially cause inflammation and digestive issues. Limiting artificial sweeteners and opting for natural alternatives, such as honey, if your health condition permits it, would be a better option. Skipping meals and later overeating Irregular eating habits can cause more harm than you think. Amidst work deadlines and personal duties, people tend to skip meals throughout the day, and then overeat at night. The gastroenterologist has warned that this habit may lead to insulin spikes and also put undue stress on the digestive system. This irregular pattern of eating can also lead to weight gain and gut inflammation over time. Focus on eating balanced meals at consistent times, do not starve your body, or overwhelm it with excess food. Balance is the key. Not getting enough sleep (Pic courtesy: iStock) Among the many things people tend to sacrifice to squeeze in their personal or career goals is their sleep. However, sleep deprivation can wreak havoc on your health, especially the gut. A restful sleep provides the gut time to rest for the next day. Chronic sleep deprivation disrupts this process. Lack of sleep can weaken the gut lining and increase the risk of issues like leaky gut syndrome. Remember, sleep is non-negotiable. Aim for at least seven to eight hours of quality sleep nightly. Excess use of painkillers Most of us have the habit of popping painkillers every now and then. But it may be doing more harm than good. Dr. Sethi has stressed that excessive use of NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs) can damage the gut lining. NSAIDs like ibuprofen, aspirin, naproxen, and diclofenac can cause irritation, ulcers, or even bleeding in the digestive tract over time. Remember, NSAIDs are helpful but should be used sparingly.
