Successful implantation of the embryos in the uterus after IVF cycle is about 20%. It represents the bottleneck in the procedure of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. In this presentation we look at factors affecting implantation and how to improve it.
The thin endometrium refers to the lining of the uterus, known as the endometrium, being insufficiently thick. This condition is typically characterized by a reduced thickness of the endometrial layer, which plays a crucial role in supporting the implantation and development of a fertilized egg during the menstrual cycle.
A thin endometrium is commonly associated with hormonal imbalances, such as low estrogen levels, which are vital for the growth and maintenance of the endometrial tissue. Inadequate blood flow to the uterus, chronic inflammation, or certain medical conditions can also contribute to this condition. Women with a thin endometrium may experience difficulties in achieving and maintaining pregnancy, as the thin lining may not provide an optimal environment for the embryo to implant and thrive.
Addressing the underlying causes of a thin endometrium often involves hormonal therapies to regulate estrogen levels, lifestyle modifications, and sometimes surgical interventions. Fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), may be considered to overcome the challenges associated with a thin endometrium.
In conclusion, a thin endometrium can pose challenges to fertility and reproductive health, requiring a comprehensive approach to address the underlying factors and improve the chances of successful conception.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

New Drug Discovery and Development .....NEHA GUPTA
The "New Drug Discovery and Development" process involves the identification, design, testing, and manufacturing of novel pharmaceutical compounds with the aim of introducing new and improved treatments for various medical conditions. This comprehensive endeavor encompasses various stages, including target identification, preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory approval, and post-market surveillance. It involves multidisciplinary collaboration among scientists, researchers, clinicians, regulatory experts, and pharmaceutical companies to bring innovative therapies to market and address unmet medical needs.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

NVBDCP.pptx Nation vector borne disease control programSapna Thakur
NVBDCP was launched in 2003-2004 . Vector-Borne Disease: Disease that results from an infection transmitted to humans and other animals by blood-feeding arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
2. Successful implantation requires the presence of a
- healthy embryo
- a receptive endometrium
- a synchronized and successful molecular dialogue
between the two and
- immune protection from the host.
3. • The human endometrium is a dynamic tissue
• It undergoes changes at multiple levels during the
menstrual cycle in response to ovarian hormones
and paracrine secretions.
• The endocrine and paracrine secretions control gene
expression of the different endometrial cell types.
4. • Endometrial receptivity is a self limited period in which
the endometrium acquires
- a functional and transient steroid dependent status that
allows a blastocyst to attach to the endometrial
epithelium and
- to invade further into the decidualized stroma through
mediation by immune cells , cytokines, growth factors ,
chemokines and adhesion molecules.
5. • During the phase of receptivity, the endometrium
undergoes morphological, cytoskeletal, biochemical,
and genetic changes to become functionally
competent.
• This period of receptivity is known as the “window
of implantation” (WOI).
6. WINDOW OF IMPLANTATION
• opens on day 19 or 20 of the cycle and remains open
for just 4–5 days at the time when Progesterone
reaches peak serum concentrations.
• D6 to D10 – post ovulation or
• D7 to D11- post LH surge or
• D20 to D24 of 28 day cycle
7. EFFECT OF COH ON ER
• Abnormalities of the luteal phase have been
detected in all the stimulation protocols on
both hormonal & endometrial levels.
• COH adversely affect endometrial receptivity
8. High concentration of estrogens & progesterone, altered
E2 to progesterone ratios.
Disturbed LH levels
Corpus luteum deficiency
A direct effect of GnRh agonist or antagonist on the
corpus luteum or on endometrium
Altered endometrial receptivity from endometrial
asynchrony & earlier expression of pinopodes
9. • Endometrial histology in GnRh-agonist cycles (mid-
luteal biopsy) :
increased glandulo-stromal dyssynchrony
delay in endometrial development
strong positivity of endometrial glands for PR
decreased cell adhesion molecule profiles and
earliest appearance of surface epithelium pinopodes
• shift forwards of implantation window. .
10. • Progesterone supplementation improves endometrial
histology, and its necessity has been established, at least in
cycles, using GnRh agonists
• There is increased peri-ovulatory Progesterone in the COH
cycles.
• The early rise of Progesterone has a negative impact on
endometrial receptivity but not on oocyte-embryo quality
these cause premature endometrial lutenization & provide an
explanation for the observed decrease in endometrial
receptivity
11. • Implantation & pregnancy rates did not differ
between IVF-ET patients and recipients of donor
oocytes.
• Exposure of the developing endometrium to COH
during IVF cycles does not inhibit embryo
implantation or affect pregnancy rate.
12. ASSESSMENT OF ER
• A. FUNCTIONAL MARKERS:
Biochemical markers
• 1. Endometrial adhesion molecules - Integrins - co-expressed
on glandular epithelium only during cycle D 20 to 24
– 3 integrins are expressed by the endometrium with a pattern that
coincide well with the window of implantation
– α 1β1
– α 4β1
– α vβ3 ( coincides with Window Of Implantation)
13.
14. • 2.Endometrial anti-adhesion molecules - Mucin 1 and 6
• 3. Endometrial Cytokines- Leukemia inhibitory factor Interleukin-1
,Interleukin-11, Colony-stimulating factor.
• 4. Endometrial growth factors - Heparin binding-epidermal growth
factor, Insulin like growth factor binding protein
• 5. Other endometrial markers -Mouse ascites Golgi (MAG),
Laminin,HomeoboxA10, fibronectin & collagen IV ,Glycodelin, Cyclin
E & p27
15. ENDOMETRIAL FUNCTION TESTS:
The most efficient way to directly assess endometrial receptivity
1. MAG test:
Endometrial biopsy.
It measures a sticky mucinous substances that is secreted by
endometrial glands before implantation.
85% of normal fertile women express higher levels of MAG
between D 5 & D 18 & no expression after D19.
70% with unexplained infertility showed abnormal MAG
levels.
16. 2. Cyclin E & p27:
• It allows dating of the endometrium & differentiating
between normally & abnormally developing
endometrium.
• Cyclin E: First appears in proliferative phase & not seen
after D19
• P27: First appears on D17 & remains for the rest of the
cycle.
17. B. Morphological markers
1. Pinopodes:
• Globular protrusions in the surface membrane of endometrial
epithelial cells.
• Accurate markers of the implantation window.
• Last for less than 2 days.
The timing of their formation depends on:
1. The hormone treatment applied
2. Patient's individual response.
18.
19. • On average, they form on days 20-21 in natural, days 19-20 in COH, and
days 21-22 in HC (hormone controlled)cycles
• There is a wide (up to 5 days) variation between women in the cycle days
on which pinopodes form.
• Pinopode numbers correlate with implantation .On the other hand there
is evidence of implantation occurring in the absence of pinopodes
• In natural cycle: There is an inherent synchrony between the maturing
endometrium & the developing embryo, ensuring that both will meet at
the right stage.
• Fully developed pinopodes have been detected on days LH+6 to LH+9
(days 19 to 22) in different individuals.
20. • In COH- IVF cycles: Embryonic development is probably delayed because
of the in vitro conditions ,while the endometrium may be advanced
resulting in an early closure of the implantation window before the zygote
eventually reaches a stage capable of initiating implantation.
• Accelerated pinopode formation correlated strongly with preovulatory
progesterone rise (≥6 ng by day 13).
• Consequently, it would be highly desirable if the window of receptivity in
IVF cycles could be postponed for a couple of days.
• A low dose of mifepristone (antiprogestin) on days 14 and 15 caused
delayed pinopode formation .
21. In Hormone –Controlled cycles:
• The most receptive day of the cycle corresponds to fully
developed pinopodes or is postulated to be 1 day before
regressing or 1 day after developing pinopodes are observed.
• A transfer cycle follows in which synchronization with the
embryo is arranged so that the predicted most receptive day
coincides with embryonic age day 6. It is assumed that by that
time the IVF embryo is ready to implant.
22. 2. Decrease in the epithelial tight junctions
between D13 & 23.
3.Apoptosis On D 19-20 apoptosis is detectable
in the glands of the basal layer
23. MOLECULAR MARKERS
• The various molecular approaches for the study of biological samples are
collectively called the “Omics”.
It includes –
• Genomics - study of genes
• Epigenomics -study of gene Expression
• Proteomics -quantification of proteins
• Metabolomics – composition and quantification of metabolites
• Lipidomics - composition and quantification of lipids
• Secretomics- analysis of complex array of chemokines,cytokines, growth
and signaling factors.
• Transcriptomics is considered the most established technology available
for evaluation of the endometrial factor.
24. • Analysis of gene expression pattern is done by three
approaches
- Macroarray
- Microarray
- Differential display polymerase chain reaction (whole
genome analysis)
25. ENDOMETRIAL RECEPTIVITY ARRAY
• Developed by Diaz – Gimeno et al
• Bioinformative predictor of endometrial dating
• A total of 238 genes are expressed in optimal models
• High reproducibility – transcriptomic profile valid over next 3 years.
• Sensitivity - 99.75%, Specificity – 88.57%.
• Good tool to provide favourable outcome in RIF.
• Accurate, reproducible, No intercycle variability.
• Defining a receptive window will avoid embryo wastage and
emotional, physical and financial distress.
26.
27.
28. • STORAGE
– Keep in fridge (4 – 8c) for 4 hrs.
– This preserved sample, in cryotube can beimmediately
shipped at room temp.
– Sample at room temp should reach the main lab
within 4 to5 days.
– Results will be ready in 20 days after receiving
samples.
29.
30. • LIMITATIONS OF GENOMICS :
- Large variation + variable expression of genes
- The mRNA/ gene products/ proteins need to be analysed
- Need endometrial tissue biopsy( invasive)
- Interferes with implantation
31. USES OF ENDOMETRIOMICS
• Nutritional environment of developing embryo
• Markers for assessment of ER
• Timing of embryo transfer
• Effect of therapeutic intervention
• Alternative stimulation regimen
• Insight about diagnosis of RIF
• Assessing impact of pathological conditions
32. NON INVASIVE ASSESSMENT
1. TVS: Thickness & pattern
– Favorable receptivity: Trilaminar pattern (triple line), Thickness:7-14
mm
– Unfavorable receptivity: Hyperechoic or isoechogenic, , Thickness<7
mm or >14 mm.
– Endometrial thickness: has a significant positive correlation with the
duration of follicular stimulation & an inverse correlation with age.
2. 3D US: Endometrial volume:
– 2 ml is the minimum for a receptive endometrium
– <1ml: no pregnancy . > 4 ml. No increase in ER
3. Doppler US: Some authors reported significant correlation between
pregnancy rates & uterine artery Doppler flow values , while others failed
to show such a relationship.
33. 4. 3D power Doppler US:
– Sub-endometrial perfusion can not predict ER
– Use of subendometrial vascularization index was superior in
predicting the pregnancy rate of IVF to using endometrial volume
5. MRI: High cost, not used in routine practice
6. LASER blood-flowmetry
– A novel way to assess ER by measuring endometrial tissue blood
flow, using hystero fiberscope laser blood-flowmetry.
– It is superior to conventional parameters for determining ER for
implantation.
34. STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE ER
I. To develop ovarian stimulation protocols that cause a
minimum reduction in endometrial receptivity.
II. To avoid the endometrium during stimulated cycles
altogether by freezing the embryos & replacing them in
subsequent natural cycles.
III. To improve uterine vascularization. (aspirin, L arginine,
sildenafil)
IV. To treat the pathology
