Women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) may become pregnant with fewer treatment cycles by using device developed by a team of researchers from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and Stanford University that uses an "obstacle course" to sort and select faster and healthier sperm cells for use in IVF treatment.

This new device was created by a team co-led by Erkan Tüzel, associate professor of physics, biomedical engineering, and computer science at WPI, and Utkan Demirci, professor of radiology and electrical engineering (by courtesy) at Stanford University.

The microfluidic device, which can be used in clinics, is dubbed SPARTAN, short for Simple Periodic ARray for Trapping And IsolatioN. It uses a field of three-dimensional posts that create an obstacle course for the swimming sperm cells. The strongest and healthiest sperm get through this array the fastest and then are collected at the outlet to be used in the IVF process.

Traditional sperm-sorting methods used in IVF treatments select sperm that are the fastest swimmers. The SPARTAN device collects sperm that are the fastest and also the healthiest because it culls out those with malformations, such as bent necks or larger heads, which can slow their movement.

The device select sperm with excellent motility, but also with normal morphology and better DNA integrity, helping families worldwide by reducing the stress of multiple IVF procedures, while potentially increasing pregnancy rates.

The SPARTAN device is about 4 millimeters wide and 12 to 16 millimeters long. Sperm are simply injected into one end and the fastest and healthiest are collected on the opposite end for immediate use in in vitro fertilization. The device also prevents the type of damage to cells that can occur with traditional sorting methods, such as those using high-force centrifuges.

Because SPARTAN can be used in the fertility clinic, sperm do not need to be frozen and shipped to a lab for processing; the in-clinic sorting procedure takes between 5 and 30 minutes. This new sperm-sorting device could mean that patients will spend less on IVF treatments, because with the new sperm sorting technology they could be able to become pregnant without going through as many treatment cycles.

Abokyaly:
Please has anyone used Medical art center. What is the success rate? I noticed someone asked few days ago.

Timitoyo:
Congrats dear, I tap into this : 2 failed cycles behind me a successful one before me

Beautifulsenora:
Hello Everyone, I ran an ultrasound and the result..
It was detected that there is a subserosal fibriod on the left side of the uterus measuring 1.4cm in size, another one on the right side intramural in location measuring 1.8cm, this one is seen approaching the submicosal surface of the uterus and there is mild changes of adenomyosis. My doctor isn't available to analyze the result for me

I want to undergo ivf soon and was wondering if these things can hinder the success of the ivf, @blendy77, towerofgrace . Also if anyone has had a successful ivf with fibriod and all.

Thank you

47FineGal:

Mummy4life1:
I login into the email occasionally sis

miracle1997:
Well maybe packaging, and probably expertise

Mayfufu27:
I am sorry if you got offend by my responds. I never meant it the way you are taking it. It was an harmlessness write up.May God meet us all at the point of our needs. Peace be on unto you.

Mayfufu27:
There are some hospital that have success rate. But still have some failed once. I think when going for ivf let's allow to God to lead and lets be prayerful. My fertility doctor that did my ivf does not have a ivf center of his own. But has three different hospital. And the center he used for ivf is not one of those that is very popular. But with the help of God I got pregnant on my first transfer.

MineMK:
DIFF is very good and detailed. They have 60-70% success rate on IVF. Also prayerfully make your choice. Success in Jesus mighty name

miracle1997:
Diff is very expensive, almost 3.5m for IVF. Nisa is almost same

Moradeyo21:
@Damilolly, I'm grateful for your contribution, I will contact them and give updates.

MummyNeto:
for change of name you will be required to provide a newspaper publication, marriage certificate, sworn affidavit for change of surname, NIN and the old passport. Change of name is usually done in Abuja. It takes a minimum of 30 days.

Elohorp:
I've discovered Nigeria doctors are very greedy and lie alot at least my own was,a great big liar,knew I had only one follicle still went ahead with egg retrieval,told me there's no treatment for bad sperm motility,made me make my husband go through tesa surgery,ha it's a long and painful story what that doctor did to me,and it's my God that will judge him for me,my biggest regret was not going to the hospital my sister in law did hers,all because of stories I heard that this doctor tries,I didn't know all that was hearsay,do you know he doesn't even have IVF equipment in his hospital bit his collecting money for ivf,took us all the way from warri to benin to do egg retrieval and implantation,all those money for transport and fuel and accomodation and he didn't even tell me all this before I paid the money for the IVF to him,fee day back I sat down with some of the receipts I could find and calculated a total of 2 million ,six hundred thousand ,all for nothing,just heavy pain and heavy bleeding,ha stubborness is not good if only I had listen to my husband and went to the hospital his sister in law used by Gods grace I would have been pregnant by now

MrsApositive:
Good morning
I was at the center yesterday and the man told us about IUI,that what he will do is sperm retrievals and he placed us on some drugs to boost his sperm and my eggs too.What we have now cannot be enough for ivf so we want to give the IUI a try,we have done it before at Bolasad specialist hospital at Agege but it failed .

ekitimanalways:
Good morning, ma'am. You're correct to say that the portal does not upload accurately. This makes the passport tracker unreliable.
Do-it-yourself (DIY) Nigerian passport applicants rarely get their passports on the collection dates written on their confirmation slips. Therefore, I would advise you to keep going back to the passport office where you had your enrolment (usually about once a month) after the date of collection given to you.

Zbk001:
Thank you… will do so on Monday

oladayo7491:
Thanks so much for this reply.

It seems those of us who paid with debit card (Paystack) won't get any acknowledgement slip? We only get payment receipt?

jakeroberto:
I am pained right now. I need the passport like immediately.

ekitimanalways:
He has deceived you. Those agents are heartless. I hope and pray that the agent would not let you go through 'hell' before you get your passport.
I always advocate DIY. Yes, ...do-it-yourself is cheaper.

Zbk001:
Good evening friends, Pls which option should I choose if I want to make payment in the bank....

twang414:
Again, i wont be able to quote each post that i would like to respond to, so I will summarize again and point out somethings and other things that those who have japad already and those that are planning to should know.

1: I have[b] done DNA on my son [/b]only 5 years ago, because he was the only one my mind doubted, result showed I was, I havent done for my daughter yet cos am most definite shes mine from the onset, but one can never say, I would have to do for her when we come to nija somtimes.
2: I understand that tracking her is against the law [/b]here, she knows and [b]she might use it against me in the future. As we speak now, so many things have happened since my arrival in this country, we have had arguments, I am not perfect, as I have mine to deal with as well. Since we got in here,
being a student, she cant work more than 20hours a week, and because I am a tech person, I seek tech work remotely, but havent been able to get one, though I still make money from my e-commerce biz, so i have to change naira to pounds over the last 6 months now and its draining. Reason why am looking for a tech remote job is because of the children, when she goes to work or school, I have to be the one to care for the kids and pick up from school, mind yall
she does majority of the home chores when shes home, she does alot, that I cant deny, but I support when I can, wash dishes and sweep, I am always on the computer working, I SLEEP late aroud 2am, awake up 8 or 9, life here is somehow, but somehow will pay off one day
3: She recorded some of out argument and was telling her sister one day while we were having issues, that for example that kind of audi evidence, if she presents it in court, bla bla bla,omo na then I know sey one chance dun enter me. Let me gist u guys a little about what happened, she had stepped out to the library and I was home, she called but I was on a very important call, so as she was calling I was cutting it and automatically sending sms
to let her know that I was on a call that she should check her whats app in response to what she inquired, but maybe she didnt see it and she kept calling back, so i had to pick and somehow I yelled and said plz check ur whats app, she seem to have taken the yell personal, to be sincere I wasnt happy with her because she has not been giving me food, she will package the kids food, dash out and leave me hanging, normally I would have communicated it with her
but I know the reasomn behind it. I lost the license to the platform I used to make money [/b]from Nigeria which is used to sort the bills and the rent, so this month rent i was able only able to pull up 60% while we had to take loan to balance it up. So what caused the main ish was when she came back from the library, [b]she had finished praying, after she came out and pounced on me with harsh words, saying my life is nt proper, that I should check out myself, simply because
I am battling financial issue just within the last 2weeks,but something is for sure, we have never gone hungry, and never shall we.
4: In this country, the wife's sending their husband packing, most are already regretting it, its not easy to be working and caring for the kids as well, the govt have cut down on the monies giving to them after split, the ones that can get awy with it are the ones without children, forget that story of men should be scared that
their woman will be snatched, well its possible if you are not well to do at all, and not providing, but u see ehn, women too much for this country wey be sey na wives sef dey fear make other women nor snatch their husband. Loneliness here alone can kill without blinking, so in major cases now, women here,talking about Nigerians dont want to lose their
husbands unless in a very critical situation as such as financial crisis or chronic womanising.
5: To be sincere, in as much as I am doing legit job, i sometimes do side racket which may be termed illegal, but u know its just to be able to live up to expectations and be able to solve some problems normal
legit earnings wont be able to do. Back then in Nigeria, some of these funds supported her business, bought her a car and all of those ease stress lifestyle, while we were having an argument here, I called her an olosho, she said
me am a fraudster, that she will report me to EFCC, t[/b]hat do i think she doesnt know what i do aside my main biz? I come sey but u dey also enjy from the proceeds of the illgotten money, she said well she didnt know sey na when
we reach here na him she know sey [b]i dey do side runs, omo i waste, i mean i weak finish. She come sey well she package me come this place, cos she know sey me dun tire for the marriage since we left nija....sey where i escort am reach like this sey he dey ok, sey at least i carry her come uk, sey the time when i decide not to come again, sey her soul left her body that she had to try to convince me to continue the process., Omo am finished like this, to be continued....

Acidosis:
Btw, listening to pastor Jerry or any other new generational pastor changes nothing. They follow these programmes for the prayers and blessings they hope to get. The day pastor Jerry decides to dum.p prayer rain and requests for holiness and end time message, people like your wife will dump him. Listening to pastor Jerry is, in fact, one of the main reasons she'll continue to dress seductively. Pastor Jerry is not Pastor Kumuyi.

You should find a way to remind your wife her old time values (if she had any during her time in Naija). Environmental influences are so powerful and we can't emphasise this fact enough. The values in your new host country will most likely shape your behaviour and attitude. Today na seductive dressing, tomorrow she fit change gender or get herself a female partner.

Na you get work to do at this point o...so keep trying to talk sense into her.

lightdream:
Her name has been changed at NIN. Does she have to go back to Alimosho to confirm if it's been taken to Ikeja for approval before she capture?

onuwaje:
I just collected my international passport today (i would have collected it since last week but experienced delays due to some rising matters)
It wasn't DIY,
I started processing 27th of April
I captured 10th of May in Abuja

Money spent in total = 55k
