Mesure de la charge de travail dans les unités de soins du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Liège

peer reviewedImplémentation et déploiement d’une solution informatique permettant d’évaluer la charge de travail des différentes unités de soins du CHU de Liège afin d’optimiser la répartition des forces de travail disponibles. La solution mise en place est alimentée par les données extraites des différents logiciels déjà déployés au sein de l’Institution et selon trois axes d’information : ressources en personnel, demande de soins et mouvements des patients

Twin pregnancy obtained with frozen-thawed embryos after in vitro maturation in a patient with polycystic ovarian syndrome

Purpose: A twin pregnancy was obtained in a patient with polycystic ovary syndrome after the transfer of three in vitro maturation-derived day 3 embryos that has been frozen and thawed. Methods: The patient had received mild hMG stimulation followed by hCG injection. After culture for 24 - 48 h, mature oocytes were fertilized by ICSI. Embryos were cultured until day 3; supernumerary embryos were cryopreserved using a slow protocol. Results: Among 15 nonatretic oocytes, 9 matured, 8 were fertilized. Four embryos were transferred but they did not implant. The subsequent transfer of three frozen - thawed embryos resulted in the delivery of two healthy girls. Conclusions: These results indicate that a pregnancy could be obtained with in vitro maturation-derived day-3 frozen - thawed embryos

Embryo cloning by nuclear transfer in the bovine species: first results

In 1987, Prather et al. have performed the first embryo cloning by nuclear transfer in the bovine species. Since, many researchers try to develop and to apply the technique. While the enucleation of the recipient oocyte, the injection of the donor blastomere and the fusion procedure are now well controlled, on the other hand, maturation and activation as the development and freezing of the cloned embryos need tobe more investigated. The cloned embryo is more fragile. An increase in embryonic mortality is observed after transfer in a recipient cow.Le clonage par transfert de noyau fut réalisé pour la première fois chez les bovins par Prather et collaborateurs en 1987. Vu l'importance économique de ce mode de multiplication, de nombreuses équipes de recherche affinent la technique et étudient sa mise en application sur le terrain. Alors que l'énucléation de l'ovocyte receveur, l'injection et la fusion du blastomère donneur se réalisent avec succès, la maturation ovocytaire, la culture et la congélation de l'embryon reconstitué posent encore de nombreux problèmes. De plus, l'embryon reconstitué est plus fragile et l'on constate une augmentation sensible de la mortalité embryonnaire après transfert chez la receveuse
