Cryonics (from Greek: κρύος kryos, meaning "cold") is the low-temperature freezing (usually at −196 °C or −320.8 °F or 77.1 K) and storage of human remains in the hope that resurrection may be possible in the future. [1] [2] Cryonics is regarded with skepticism by the mainstream scientific community.
Once a patient is cured from their malignant disease, the tissue can be thawed and then transplanted for the possibility of restoring ovarian function. Following auto-transplantation, patients showed resumption of ovarian activity to include the first menstruation at 14 to 25 weeks, and follicular development 8 to 21 weeks.
These studies were completed mostly in young patients. In a 2013 meta-analysis of more than 2,200 cycles using frozen eggs, scientists found the probability of having a live birth after three cycles was 31.5% for women who froze their eggs at age 25, 25.9% at age 30, 19.3% at age 35, and 14.8% at age 40.
A tank of liquid nitrogen, used to supply a cryogenic freezer (for storing laboratory samples at a temperature of about −150 °C or −238 °F) Controlled-rate and slow freezing, also known as slow programmable freezing (SPF), [18] is a technique where cells are cooled to around -196 °C over the course of several hours.
At least six major areas of cryobiology can be identified: 1) study of cold-adaptation of microorganisms, plants (cold hardiness), and animals, both invertebrates and vertebrates (including hibernation), 2) cryopreservation of cells, tissues, gametes, and embryos of animal and human origin for (medical) purposes of long-term storage by cooling to temperatures below the freezing point of water.
More commonly though, the condition is caught by prenatal checkups because it's such a common condition and because "all pregnant patients are at risk for developing preeclampsia," says Dr. Leslie ...
According to a 2021 survey, patients with female surgeons were more likely to be seen for checkups or routine care, compared with patients with male surgeons. Dr. Andrea Riner, ...
The study included nearly 800,000 male and female patients hospitalized from 2016 through 2019. All patients were covered by Medicare. ... That doesn’t mean that women should switch doctors ...
