🔬 ESHRE’s Key Research Priorities: Patients First Just published in Human Reproduction! 12 priority topics across 6 areas to shape the future of fertility care - from prevention to psychosocial support. Read more 👉 academic.oup.com/humrep/advance… #ESHRE #InfertilityResearch

What topic would you like the Latin American community of reproductive scientists, embryologists, and clinicians to dive into (for EmbryoXchange JC)? Drop your suggestions below, please! 🙏

@OmarRawi89 Me too! I can't wait for the day I have a reason to go there again haha even if it is a small reason!

@AndreaBrackner I miss Ox so much!!

I really miss Oxford — especially the AMAZING goat cheese quiche from Vaults & Garden in front the RadCam 😂 Scientits are foodies as well. Are there any fellow fans of that quiche here?👀

So… I guess I’m finally tweeting? Or X-ing? 😂 Didn’t realize how therapeutic this would feel, tbh — toddler’s asleep… Should I just let my mind wander and start talking about sperm and eggs? 🥚🧬 :( no emoji sperm unfortunately

Do male fertility supplements really work? Join this insightful webinar to explore the real science behind the claims. What’s hype, what’s fact - and what it means for clinical practice. 📅 20 May 2025 | 17:00-18:00 🔗 eshre.eu/Education/Webi… #SIGAndrology #MaleReproductiveHealth

Censorship of scientific data and erasing LGBTQ+ health resources put lives at risk. Removing terms like 'transgender' and 'pregnant person' from CDC research is not protection—it’s harm. Science should inform policy, not politics. #ScienceNotCensorship #LGBTQHeal

@OmarRawi89 @kashish__ @ESHRE 😂🤣

@kashish__ @ESHRE I will always blame the molecular biologists 👀 #eshrejc This is a joke

#ESHREjc Q2. Authors have found an effect on clinical outcomes when double biopsy 🧬🧬 and double ❄️❄️ was performed. 🌀What are the sources of amplification failure from a genetics🧬/embryological background❓️❓️ @ESHRE

@kashish__ @ESHRE Maybe degraded or low DNA quantity? Not enough cells for amplification? #ESHREjc

@juanjo_fraire @GLiperis @OmarRawi89 @SCobanMune @zoyaalii_ @kashish__ @BasselWattar @alteri_ale @debsmtj @AndrewIVFSAS Future: Difficult as standarizarion of protocols across clinics is necessary and they currently rely on manual techniques and operation skills. However... automation and the use of AI/robotics in the IVF lab could offer some solutions for heterogeneity in the future. #ESHREjc

Q1. What are the limitations of the 📝 due to the analysis of retrospective datasets 📈 and the sources of heterogeneity? How can we better plan 🤔and assess 🕵️‍♀️ future studies to avoid these limitations? 🧐 #ESHREjc

@juanjo_fraire Sorry I was excited 🫣

@juanjo_fraire @GLiperis @OmarRawi89 @SCobanMune @zoyaalii_ @kashish__ @BasselWattar @alteri_ale @debsmtj @AndrewIVFSAS 1. Limitations of Retrospective datasets: introduction of potential bias. 2. Variability in biopsy/vitri protocols. 3. Maybe neonatal outcomes underreported?

@juanjo_fraire I love this figure! Can I use it?

In principle, systematic reviews are above observational studies in the evidence pyramid 😁#ESHREjc

@GLiperis @ESHRE I really enjoyed this article. It gives a very good example of how challenging it is to draw consistent conclusions that impact clinical outcomes in IVF.

📢 #Tweetorial alert! Are you excited for the first #ESHREjc of the year? @ESHRE ‼️ DOUBLE TROUBLE ‼️ We are discussing the recent systematic review&meta-analysis by Bickendorf et al., 🇦🇺 on double biopsy & ❄️vitrification doi.org/10.1093/humrep… 🧵 Here's what they found 👇

Curious embryo fact 23/25 The African elephant has the longest gestation period of any land mammal. It lasts an incredible 22 months. This lengthy period allows the calf to reach a birth weight of 120kg! #devbio #embryo #reproduction

Curious embryo fact 22/25 Placentation strategies are highly variable amongst species. Ruminants, such as cattle, sheep, and deer, have evolved less invasive placentas, allowing for a quicker recovery post-birth. This is crucial for their survival in environments where predators are a constant threat. #devbio #embryo #reproduction
