Artificial Intelligence has made it possible to create the KIDScoreD5 system, which automatically analyses and classifies embryos, increasing the probability of gestation IVI has carried out the most extensive study to date, which has enabled it to demonstrate this clinical revolution in embryo selection using Artificial Intelligence This study on Artificial Intelligence and KIDScoreD5 is… View Article
Promising results are achieved in women under 40 with the worst reproductive scenario at ovarian level, thanks to the ASCOT technique (infusion of stem cells in the ovarian artery), which was already successful in low-responder patients The latest development shows the benefits of mobilizing stem cells in bone marrow and how, without injecting them, they… View Article
