Reproductive medicine is one of today’s most exciting scientific
and clinical areas. Every month brings announcements of research
developments, medical ‘firsts’, new rulings by regulatory bodies,
or ethical controversies – often sparking heated debate among
practitioners in the field themselves, as well as ethicists,
legislators, the media and the public. ESHRE 2010 provides the
media with the opportunity to hear the latest research news and
interview the experts. All sessions, including Sunday pre-congress
discussions, are open to the media.
News briefings will be held:
11.45 hrs CEST Monday 28 June (English)
13.00 hrs CEST Monday 28 June (Italian)
10.00 hrs CEST Tuesday 29 June (English)

Here are a few of the new results to be announced at the
conference:
- Researchers develop accurate way to predict the age when women
will hit the menopause; the development could help young women plan
when to start their families - Understanding the mechanism behind why some sub-fertile women
respond poorly to ovarian stimulating hormones opens the way to
designing personalised treatments - Mothers who drink alcohol while pregnant may be damaging the
semen quality of their future sons - Cheap and simple, non-invasive blood test could replace
invasive diagnostic techniques for detecting chromosomal
abnormalities in early pregnancy - The rejuvenating effects of ovarian transplants: not only can
they restore fertility, but could they also lengthen life? - In vitro maturation: do eggs matured in the laboratory result
in babies with Large Offspring Syndrome? - New, non-surgical treatment for uterine fibroids can improve
quality of life and maintain fertility - How do pregnancy rates from vitrified oocytes compare with
those obtained from fresh eggs? - Two surveys throw light on why women choose egg freezing for
social rather than medical reasons - How does being overweight affect women’s chances of successful
pregnancy through ART? - EU requirement for viral screening at each gamete donation is
expensive and unnecessary, say Irish researchers - Endometriosis affects women’s productivity at work more than
