In Vitro Maturation
In vitro maturation (IVM) is the technique of letting the contents of ovarian follicles and the oocytes inside mature ''in vitro''. It can be offered to women with infertility problems, combined with In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), offering women pregnancy without ovarian stimulation. History In 1935, Pincus & Enzmann did the first experiment on immature rabbit oocyte, showing ''in vitro'' spontaneous maturation and fertilization. They showed maturation occurs in isolation from normal follicular environment. In 1965 Edwards then continued IVM studies in mouse, sheep, cow, pig, rhesus monkey and human. By 1991, the first human pregnancy was recorded using IVM followed by IVF, and in 1994 the first birth using IVM oocytes from polycystic ovarian syndrome patients was recorded highlighting that PCOS patient's oocytes are capable of maturation. Background Oogenesis takes place during fetal life, in which primordial germ cells undergo mitosis until a few weeks prior to birth, for ...

Ivermectin
Ivermectin (, '' EYE-vər-MEK-tin'') is an antiparasitic drug. After its discovery in 1975, its first uses were in veterinary medicine to prevent and treat heartworm and acariasis. Approved for human use in 1987, today it is used to treat infestations including head lice, scabies, river blindness (onchocerciasis), strongyloidiasis, trichuriasis, ascariasis and lymphatic filariasis. It works through many mechanisms to kill the targeted parasites, and can be taken orally, or applied to the skin for external infestations. It belongs to the avermectin family of medications. William Campbell and Satoshi Ōmura won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for its discovery and applications. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, and is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as an antiparasitic agent. In 2018, it was the 420th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 100,000 prescriptions. It is availab ...
