One may love indulging themselves in hot bathtubs or hot water tub and also relax in Jacuzzi baths. It is better to shed this love to indulge oneself in hot baths in case one wants to have a family. Researchers hold the opinion that the constant exposure to the existing ‘wet heat’ can indeed damage one’s fertility levels. This view has gained much ground as several studies have been conducted to this effect. The study was indeed conducted on a group of men who were used to hot bathtubs or hot water bath on a rather regular basis. They were indeed exposed to water with the higher temperature for at least 30 minutes in a week. When their semen samples were actually examined, it did show low sperm production as well as poor sperm motility rate as compared to those who were less exposed to this sort of heat. Men who have actually been diagnosed with fertility disorders, overexposure to heated water can also worsen the matter for them. However, the effect can indeed be reversed. If on...

Reproductive medicine is indeed constantly evolving to improve its success rates. Since the first IVF in 1978, where the egg was fertilized with the sperm in-vitro and then the embryo is transferred to the uterus, millions of parents have welcomed babies using the technology. Here are some technical advances that increase chances of conception. Pre-Implantation Genetic Screening (PGS): Going by tradition doctors did select embryos based upon their appearances. However, even top-rated embryos do have chromosomal abnormalities thus resulting in implantation failures. PGS screens embryos that are rather developmentally as well as chromosomally competent, usually genetically normal embryos which are transferred thus increasing the chances of implantation and also reducing miscarriage rates by about half. PGS has been referred to couples who facing failures with IVF/ICSI cycles and women with repeated miscarriages. Pre Implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD): This does help couple...

Much of IVF failures are on account of the abnormalities in the DNA of the fetus. These abnormalities do prevent the successful implant and even lead to miscarriages. Though there are tests to detect genetic as well as chromosomal defects in the embryo prior to IVF, they are very expensive and also have drawbacks. A new detection method has been successfully developed. This method is indeed relatively less expensive and also does overcome the drawbacks of the previous methods. This new investigation technique does allow the detection of an abnormal number of chromosomes, mitochondrial gene mutation and also individual gene mutation of the IVF embryo within a span of 16 hours. This does negate the need for embryo freezing, thus, lowering the cost to a great extent. New advancements in the fields of embryology and genetics testing have rather significantly improved In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) pregnancy success rates. The latest technological innovation, Next Generation Sequencing ...

1. See your GP One needs to go in for a general health check before trying to conceive and therefore it is better to meet one’s local doctor to ascertain if one is suffering from any pre-standing disease and how it needs to be dealt with. Diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes or asthma can cause much health problems for the baby to be born. Immunizations may be required and infections such as chickenpox, German measles, and hepatitis B, can indeed cause a miscarriage or birth defects to need to be prevented. A blood test will reveal whether one has had the vaccination for German measles (rubella). One will get proper advice from the doctor whether it is safe to go ahead with the pregnancy. If one happens to be concerned about sexually transmitted infection (STI), one needs to discuss with one’s doctor. One must get oneself screened for health issues such as hepatitis B, Chlamydia, syphilis and HIV which cane done by surgery by the local doctor. One can improve one’s c...

Everyday chemicals tend to lower one’s sperm count, scrambling DNA sperm data, or thus causing sperm mobility problems. One is aware that narrow bike seats, as well as antidepressants, can indeed cause problems. 1. Cash register receipts About 40 percent of the receipts are coated with bisphenol-A (BPA), which has rather been linked to fertility problems as well as low sperm count and quality. 2. Canned food The biggest source of BPA contamination is food packaging; almost all of the metal cans are coated with a BPA resin. 3. Sex toys Sex toys made of out vinyl contain phthalates, which are of course linked to cancer, allergies, birth defects as well as infertility. 4. Shower Phthalates are also rather found in scented soaps, shampoos, and cleaners — and in vinyl shower curtains. 5. Chemical-laced produce Pesticides are generally meant to kill the insect, but they can also affect one’s sperm. 6. Heated car seats Heated car seats, as well as heating pads, do i...

Big data is rapidly getting traffic from diverse sectors, between real-time and expansion of historical data. It gets from the sources such as connectivity devices, web, social media, sensors, logs files, and transaction applications. The automotive industry is not exempt from this trend. Big Data has found a host of applications ranging from product design and products. It predicts vehicle maintenance and autonomous driving. Key Findings: The report contains the key results. In 2018, Big Data Vendors earn more than $3.3 billion pockets from hardware, software and professional services revenue in the automobile industry. These investments are estimated to increase at around 16% at the CAGR in the next three years. Eventually, this reaches $5 billion by 2021. Automated OEMs and other shareholders have started using the vehicle through the use of Big Data Technologies. It also includes realistic mapping, personalized conveyor, independent driving and outside speculating veh...

Every night, high-definition cameras are mounted in order to collect terabytes of data about objects in the sky. Each day, scientists are involved in sequencing the genomes of people, animals, plants, and microbes for biomedical as well as evolutionary research. Indeed very fascinating to observe. Science has rather become a big-data endeavor. Yet, scientists are not actually universally adept in “data science”—the computing and statistical skill sets that are required to handle, sort, analyze, and draw conclusions from big data. The shortage of know-how in data science can hamper research, medicine, and even private industry. The hack weeks are actually opportunities to learn about new concepts, foster new connections, share the data openly, and also develop skills and work on problems that will no doubt positively affect their day-to-day research lives. The idea behind hack week was to bring together people who were interested in data science and also give them a place to m...

The most vulnerable do need help. It will help identify areas where homeless and in-need locals are struggling to find help. The idea is indeed to connect service providers with those who need support with housing, a meal, money help, health and well being services, support as well as counseling and much more. The new open data platform will make use of anonymous, location-based search data to find where people are looking for support in areas where services are lacking. Big data site helps groups assist homeless people The idea is to make better decisions and drive better outcomes for people who do need support. Services are provided for mobile laundry and shower services to people experiencing homelessness that have made use of the platform to understand where their vans are most needed. Efforts are also on to better understand the needs of the people they are helping. The ideas are to become more informed and also to provide the opportunity for volunteers to better su...

The mosquito-borne disease which is suspected of causing serious birth defects is indeed expected to spread to all countries in the Americas except Canada and Chile and does remain a global health emergency. Zika is much to be concerned about. As compared to that other big, scary virus of recent years, Zika may also seem relatively harmless. Several of Zika at present has spread across more than 30 countries; it has indeed proved to be deadly. Is there a link between Zika and microcephaly? Zika outbreak is of much concern as its occurrence in Brazil does appear to have coincided with a surge in the number of cases of microcephaly, a rare neurological condition which does leave children with unusually small heads. In many cases of microcephaly, the child’s brain may not develop properly. In Brazil, there has been an abundance of more severe cases that do include the number of cases where the child dies shortly after birth. Many suspects that there is a link between the Zika ...

There are several women who get pregnant easily even if they smoke like a chimney, drink a lot after dinner, and even think of exercise as a being waste of time. On the other hand, there are women who do all the right things but for months and years do not get pregnant and take their own time to get pregnant. New evidence does indicate that stress does affect fertility. A recent study has shown that women with high levels of alpha-amylase, an enzyme that correlates with stress do have a harder time getting pregnant. Women can indeed, and often do so, get pregnant even under intense stress, for example, that following the death of a spouse. Women do suffer from high levels of cortisol, a stress hormone. In stressful situations, cortisol, similar to adrenaline, does push metabolism into high gear. It can raise blood pressure or one can gain weight or it can lead to other health problems. How to get rid of stress by women trying to get pregnant? 1. Enlist one’s partner. Rese...
