Episode Summary:In this episode of the Conceive Baby Podcast, I speak with experienced embryologist Dr. Tiki Ozianlis who shares her insights into embryo development.If you've been with me for a while, you know I'm passionate about the crucial 90 days before ovulation, where we have the opportunity to really boost the health of your egg and sperm to optimise your chances of creating a healthy embryo and a healthy pregnancy. In this episode we're dive into what happens next in the context of an IVF cycle. When you've hopefully done some great preparation work, to create the healthiest egg and sperm you can, your eggs have been collected and fertilised and now you're crossing your fingers, toes and anything else you can to see what happens next. And that's what we cover right here.What happens to those precious embryos as they develop in the lab? How are they graded and what does the grading mean? What's the difference between transferring a day 3 embryo and a day 5 embryo? And what PGT Testing and mosaic embryos—how does that fit into the picture?We'll be diving into all these questions and more today, with Dr. Tiki Osianlis. Dr. Osianlis has been at the forefront of embryology for over 18 years now, working with some of Melbourne's most renowned IVF providers.She's also an adjunct Senior Lecturer with Monash Health's Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, where she enjoys guiding the next generation of researchers in the fields of sperm and egg interaction and embryo selection.About the Guest(s):Dr. Tiki Ozianlis is a distinguished embryologist with over 18 years of experience in the field. She has been instrumental in advancing embryology in Melbourne's leading IVF clinics. Dr. Ozianlis also serves as an adjunct senior lecturer at Monash Health's Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, where she mentors upcoming researchers in the domain of sperm and egg interaction and embryo selection. As the Scientific Director at Newlife IVF, Dr. Osianlis leads the charge in applying cutting-edge science and technology to reproductive care, ensuring patients receive the very best that modern embryology has to offer.Key Takeaways:Understanding developmental stages and grading of embryos are crucial for IVF success, with expansion, inner cell mass, and trophectoderm quality all playing key roles.Egg quality significantly influences embryo development, highlighting the importance of healthy lifestyle choices prior to IVF cycles.Genetic testing of embryos, including insights on mosaic embryos, offers a window into chromosomal normalcy but must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.Lifestyle factors, especially for male sperm health, can directly impact embryo viability and should not be underestimated.Open communication with embryologists can provide valuable insights for patients, offering clarity and empowerment throughout their IVF journey.Notable Quotes:"Embryos do have their own developmental potential…every embryo has its own developmental potential." - Dr. Tiki Osianlis"Egg quality is huge. And that also is one of the number one factors affecting IVF success." - Dr. Tiki Osianlis"If the embryo is suitable for transfer or freezing, it means that the embryologist has deemed it a viable embryo and that's the most important thing." - Dr. Tiki Osianlis"And I do want to say that every embryologist that I've ever come across, and I've seen many of them, genuinely care about what they're doing and they care so much about the patients." - Dr. Tiki Osianlis"The embryos are always showing you something different." - Dr. Tiki OsianlisResources:New Life IVF - Learn more about the...

In this episode of the Conceive Baby Podcast, I speak with Dr Scott Pearce about early pregnancy and the role of HCG and progesterone.Early pregnancy can be such a wonderful yet nerve wracking time. Waiting on that next test result, looking for symptoms and so many questions. What exactly is HCG? How reliable is an at home test over a blood test? What level should it be? What should my progesterone level be? How do you know if it's too low or too high and what does that mean? What changes are normal? How quickly should my HCG be rising? Is it rising quickly enough? We answer all these questions and more in this informative episode. So if you're currently in early pregnancy or hope to be soon, then this is for you!Key Takeaways:HCG's Role: HCG, produced by the placenta, supports early pregnancy by stimulating progesterone production. Monitoring its levels helps assess pregnancy health.Testing HCG: HCG levels can be tested as early as ten days post-conception. Home urine tests are reliable, but blood tests provide detailed quantification.Interpreting HCG Levels: Focus on the rate of increase rather than absolute values. Ideally, HCG should double every 48 hours in early pregnancy.Progesterone Importance: Progesterone supports the pregnancy by maintaining the uterine lining. Supplementation may be necessary in some cases of fertility treatment or recurrent miscarriage.When to Seek Help: Spotting can be normal, but cramping paired with heavy bleeding should prompt a medical consultation. An early ultrasound can provide vital reassuranceDr Scott Pearce is a caring, approachable, and experienced fertility specialist, gynaecologist and obstetrician who spends quality time with his patients to explain, reassure and answer questions. Scott completed advanced laparoscopic, fertility and IVF training at Monash health and The Womens' hospital. He is a Director of Monash Endosurgery, senior trainer of gynaecological surgery at Monash Health and an accredited Australasian Gynaecological Endoscopic Surgery Society trainer for advanced laparoscopic surgery.Scott thoroughly enjoys being an obstetrician, providing immense joy helping to create families. He has delivered over 3500 babies. How wonderful. Welcome Scott!

Victoria's Chief Health Officer says people should keep records of their sexual partners for contact tracing as the state deals with a growing mpox outbreak. Victoria has recorded 76 cases over the past three months compared with only eight cases last year. Chief Health Officer Dr Clare Looker say people should keep the contact details of sexual partners and consider limiting their number of sexual contacts. Mpox spreads through close physical contact and it has mostly affected men who have sex with men. Two doses of vaccine at least 28 days apart offers people the best protection against mpox. But Professor of Public Health and Infection Prevention at Monash Health, Rhonda Stuart, told SBS's Greg Dyett people can still acquire mpox even if they're fully vaccinated.

Sometimes the only decision is in what way will a patient stop living.In this second part of The Tea Room's special on voluntary assisted dying (VAD) we cover conscientious objection, patient choice and the personal impact of administering pharmacy that ends a life.Our first guest is Dr David Ward, a general practitioner obstetrician from Albany in regional Western Australia. As a doctor he is also involved in VAD and has the privilege of being close to the full circle of life – birth and death – through his work.He said that although VAD may appear to be quite negative and depressing, in his experience it's not often like that.“I don't think there's any getting away from what it means ultimately. However, there's certainly no doubt that you're with people at the other end of a very long journey. At people's houses, with their families and pets and in a situation which can be which can be quite nice and more positive than what you might initially think,” Dr Ward says.Our second guest is Dr Cameron McLaren, medical oncologist at Monash Health and director of Voluntary Assisted Dying Australian New Zealand. He's been involved in over 250 VAD cases.Dr McLaren said that there is an obvious demand for the service and not enough doctors accredited to provide it sustainably or equitably.“It would be nice to share this workload with other people” Dr McLaren says.However, he's also clear that no one should have to change their mind on about VAD.“I think whatever perspective you have is completely valid and should be protected and supported. Not all of us want to be neurosurgeons. Not all of us want to do colonoscopies. And we're free to choose the areas that we practice in accordingly,” he says.The stories each doctor shares are deeply personal, reflective and thought provoking.

Ben Mol is a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Monash Health, Melbourne. He focuses deeply on medical interventions: what are they, why are they deployed, are they overused? He leads the Evidenced based Women's Health Care Research Group who are investigate whether medical interventions around the world are conducted with evidence, are beneficial to patients, and whether they cause harm. In the course of his research, Ben has uncovered startling evidence such as 30% of peer-reviewed and published randomly controlled trials being completely fabricated. In this interview we explored the world's largest health intervention to date: government and public health responses to Covid-19. The professor has been vocal about the injustice and illogic of vaccine mandates, punitive measures against Queensland's unvaccinated teachers, the deportation of Novak Djokovic from Australia, malfeasance in academic research, and lockdowns as 'one of the greatest peacetime policy failures in modern history'. Watch the full interview at: https://discernable.io/professor-ben-mol-medical-interventions-lockdowns-and-fabricated-research An outline of our discussion: What are medical interventions? Brave New World - are we addicted to medical interventions? The incentives driving medical interventions Is Panadol a placebo? The natural rate of caesarean deliveries vs the actual rate Incentives to conduct caesarean sections Charging Australians for IVF and elective caesareans Discrimination in reproductive healthcare Fewer costs with no lockdowns - Sweden vs Denmark Threshold for all new drugs: $50k per life year saved Covid-19 vaccine cost benefit analysis Medical interventions should be measured is saved/lost life years, not purely deaths Traffic accident deaths are more tragic than elderly deaths Young people paid a higher price than old people during lockdowns We 'went to war' over Covid-19 Was an elimination strategy wise in Australia? 'Flattening the curve' Should the government also go to war with cancer? Obesity? Smoking? Sugar? The lack of reason in vaccine mandates Extending the logic to banning Coca Cola The lunacy of social distancing at McDonalds C-19 vaccine uptake rates without mandates Mandating healthy lifestyles The medical principle of 'informed consent' Should we 'save the health system' or should it save us? Victorian ambulance and 000 systems overwhelmed Health system capacity crises before Covid-19 Hospitals conduct too many health interventions Medical culture in the Netherlands: intervene less often! Interventionists see their own reality False research papers: fabricated data in peer reviewed journals Monash University detects 30% of randomly controlled trials are fake Ivermectin trials built on fake data The Socratic dialogue of medical debate but is it too complex for the public?

The relationship between substance abuse and trauma works in close tandem. While trauma increases the risk of developing substance abuse, substance abuse in turn increases the likelihood of being re-traumatised by engaging in high-risk behaviours. Traditionally, substance abuse treatment programs have held the belief that addressing trauma could trigger traumatic responses, leading clients to relapse. However by integrating trauma treatment into the substance abuse treatment process, simultaneous treatment has proven to be effective. This week's guest Simon Ruth is CEO at Thorne Harbour Health, formerly known as the Victorian AIDS Council. Simon has spent most of his career working in, or managing, alcohol and drug programs with organisations including the Salvation Army, YSAS, Monash Health and Peninsula Health. He was the recipient of a Victorian Traveling Fellowship to investigate older adult alcohol and other drugs treatment in the USA and Canada. Stay tuned as Simon chats with me about the role trauma can play in preventing and treating addictive behaviours.

Sex talk is seemingly ubiquitous in 21st century life, yet there's one topic that's conspicuous by its absence: discussion of sexual problems. “What's out there often gives the impression that everyone's doing it all the time, and it's always fantastic, so people feel so ashamed and embarrassed if they're having any problems,” says Dr Anita Elias, head of the Sexual Medicine and Therapy Clinic at Monash Health. Elias is our guest on this week's episode, along with Good Weekend senior writer Konrad Marshall. On the podcast, Elias and Marshall talk about the importance of normalising conversations about getting it on – from the heavy and heartfelt to the hilarious, which is also the subject of our cover story this week, Frisky Business. Written by Marshall, that story is a profile of sexologist Chantelle Otten, a high-profile champion of the sex-positive movement (and Dylan Alcott's partner).  Hosting the podcast chat this week is Katrina Strickland, the editor of Good Weekend, asking questions about everything from the most common sexual ailments to the problematic intersection of sexology and the wellness industry, to the place of pornography in sex education.

With just four words, 18 days of horror for one family was brought to  a close and gave tear-filled joy to a nation that had held its  breath.  Dozens of Victorian nurses are facing the sack after losing their  legal bid to stop Monash Health from taking disciplinary action  against them for refusing the COVID-19 jab.  A teenage boy was stabbed at a school in Melbourne‘s West yesterday  in an alleged altercation that has marred the full-time return to  face-to-face learning.  And Brad Hogg believes Australia must add a proven death bowling  specialist to their T20 World Cup game plan and consider axing Pat  Cummins for forgotten man Kane Richardson.  For updates and breaking news throughout the day, take out a subscription at herald sun.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We recommend that listeners exercise self-care when listening to this podcast, as some may find the content upsetting. Let's be Upfront about peripheral neuropathy. The term refers to a loss of sensation, tingling and pain in the hands and feet, which is a side effect of some chemotherapies. Peripheral neuropathy can significantly affect quality of life with pain, loss of balance and impaired sleep. Joining us for this episode of Upfront is Sue Dowe and Dr Kate Webber. Sue underwent extensive treatment for breast cancer in 2017 and, during the second course of chemotherapy, developed peripheral neuropathy, particularly in her feet and to a lesser extent, in her hands. While the symptoms in her hands disappeared within a few months, the symptoms in her feet have not entirely resolved. Dr Kate Webber is a medical oncologist at Monash Health and adjunct senior lecturer at Monash University. She has a keen interest in breast oncology, cancer survivorship and patient reported outcomes research. We hear about Sue's personal experience of peripheral neuropathy, and strategies she's used throughout her journey to manage her symptoms. We also learn more about the specifics of the condition itself, including how treatment can be adjusted to minimise long-term impacts, medication options and the role exercise can play in alleviating symptoms. Due to current circumstances, this podcast was recorded remotely. Listeners may notice a slight difference in audio quality when compared with previous episodes.

When filling out official documents, you are often asked to provide your name, birth date, and sex or gender. But have you ever been asked to provide your sex and your gender? Most people use sexuality to refer to the gender(s) to which they are attracted. However, sexuality means different things to different people. A person’s sex, as determined by his or her biology, does not always correspond with their gender; therefore, the terms “sex” and “gender” are not interchangeable. In this week's podcast episode, Marni will be speaking with Dr Riki Lane, an amazing researcher with expertise in qualitative and quantitative methods in the areas of sociology of health, science and gender, sex and sexuality. Dr Riki Lane is a Research Fellow at the Department of General Practice since 2011, undertaking qualitative and ethnographic research studies into models of primary health care. He is also a Project/Research Worker at the Monash Health Gender Clinic. Their Gender Clinic work includes: researching ways to improved health care for trans and gender diverse (TGD) people; facilitating consumer and community participation; and developing and delivery of education in TGD affirmative health care practice. Don't miss this episode as we talk about inclusion, gender diversity, identity and language.

English transcript here. I read through my daily Google News Alert about stroke a couple months back and came across an article about the Mobile CT scanner. It's designed to mount in ambulances and aircraft. It helps the medical team confirm a stroke diagnosis and start treatment even before the patient gets to the hospital. I reached out to one of the designers and that ushered me into the fascinating world of Drs. Nyein Chan Aung and Thinn Thinn Khine. Bio Photo by James HH Morgan Nyein is an industrial designer, design researcher and artist. He has given himself a mission to "Make Cool Stuff", and has been following that mission since 2005. As a result, he's won several major design awards for products in aerospace, healthcare and camping. He's currently a senior design researcher at Monash University's Design Health Collab, where he oversees the design of high-impact healthcare services and products. Thinn Thinn is an endocrinologist specializing in geriatrics endocrinology. She's been practicing medicine since 2006, and has worked in Myanmar, Jamaica, the US and Australia. She received multiple scholarships and travelling fellowships to be trained as a physician-scientist in the field of the endocrinology in ageing. Thinn Thinn is also a visual artist. She's exhibited her work in multiple solo art exhibitions in Victoria, and raised funds to support geriatric medicine, aged care mental health and palliative care departments in Monash Health and Barwon Health. Mobile CT Scanner The mobile CT Scanner, developed by Monash University and Micro-X mounts in an ambulance, aircraft, or other vehicle. When the EMTs suspect a stroke, they can bring the patient to the vehicle, do the scan, and start heading to the hospital. While they're on the way, they can transmit those image on ahead so the hospital staff knows what's happening and can stage the appropriate resources. A remote neurologist could even instruct the EMTs to begin the appropriate treatment. You can read more about the system here: https://www.monash.edu/mada/news/2020/new-ct-scanner-speeds-up-stroke-diagnosis Palliative Care Unit The death of Thinn Thinn's mother from stroke inspired the couple to make things easier for others going through these circumstances. The design the Palliative Care Unit. It's a piece of furniture that can be rolled into a patient's room so family members can sleep there when the COVID-19 situation  is under  control. In the interim, it's a place to support video conferencing and personal items from the patient's home. You can see more in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S1ooI2IHcE&ab_channel=NyeinAung Art Tram Project Melbourne invited artists to submit work to be featured on trams (street cars) that travel around the city in 2019. It was the perfect project for Nyein to submit the portrait he did of Thinn Thinn sipping tea at the Supper Inn Chinese Restaurant. You can see Thinn Thinn's face zipping around the city larger than life in this video:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYBcERruqkU&ab_channel=MelbourneInternationalArtsFestival Books Nyein referenced a couple book in our conversation. Chris Voss is a former FBI hostage negotiator who's written a book about how to negotiate in everyday life. amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "currentlybill-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_design = "enhanced_links"; amzn_assoc_asins = "0062407805"; amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "08f7668ad61d3230d3cd077558f74830"; //z-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/onejs?MarketPlace=US Walter Isaacson is a historian who wrote about Leonardo da Vinci and The Last Supper. amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "currentlybill-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_design = "enhanced_links"; amzn_assoc_asins = "1501139169"; amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "4b1b3286bbe651d6fef62f67df0d890d"; //z-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/onejs?MarketPlace=US (Affiliate links) Hack of the Week Thinn Thinn's recommendation is to consider the whole person. Regardless of the condition leading to disability, we are all, first and foremost, people with lives, history, families (genetic or chosen), and dreams. It's easy to get caught up in the specific medical details of a brain injury, but focusing exclusively on that misses the core needs of the person. Whether the medical situation is recovery oriented or palliatively oriented, the whole person is what matters. Links Where do we go from here?

Oncotarget Volume 11, Issue 27 published "Australian experience of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy in lung neuroendocrine tumours" by Lim et al. which reported peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is an approved treatment modality for gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours, although Phase III randomised clinical trial data is not available for NETs of other site of origin, in practice, PRRT is used more widely in clinical practice, based on its mechanism of targeting the somatostatin receptor. A retrospective chart review of patients with TC and AC who received 177Lu-dotatate PRRT between January 2002 and June 2019 in six hospitals across Australia was undertaken. Forty-eight patients received a median of four 177Lu-dotatate treatments. The response rate to 177Lu-dotatate was 33%, with a median overall survival of 49 months, at a median follow up of 33 months. 177Lu-dotatate PRRT in patients with lung NETs is used in real world practice, where it appears well-tolerated with some efficacy. Dr. Lisi Elizabeth Lim from The Department of Medical Oncology at Monash Health said "Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are uncommon malignancies, comprising 0.5% of all cancers." Lung is the primary site for approximately 20?25% of NETs; conversely NETs comprises about 2% of all lung malignancies. New trials have demonstrated that adequate numbers of patients can be recruited through global collaborations, both for protocols specific to lung NETs and those recruiting patients with NETs from a variety of sites. PRRT is a firmly established treatment modality for advanced GEP NETs following the publication of the landmark NETTER-1 trial, where patients with progressive midgut NET were randomised to receive 177Lu-dotatate with ongoing octreotide long-acting repeatable therapy, or high dose octreotide LAR alone. The significant benefit for PRRT in midgut NETs has provoked debate about whether randomised trials are required to prove its efficacy in NETs of other site of origin. NET consensus guidelines either omit specific comment on the use of PRRT in lung NETs, or state that imaging with SSTR-PET can assist in identifying patients who may benefit from PRRT. The Lim Research Team concluded in their Oncotarget Research Paper that further data will be forthcoming also from studies of PRRT in patients with SSTR-expressing tumours of histologies other than NET. The randomised phase II LUTHREE trial is inclusive of all SSTR positive tumour types, and is not restricted to NETs. The POLNETS trial is also extending the use of PRRT to paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma, in addition to advanced NETs of any site of origin.
