From 12 to 14 November, Barcelona hosted for the first time the Congress of the Spanish Association for the Study of Reproductive Biology (ASEBIR). This 13th edition was chaired by Dr Montse Boada Palà, Head of the Biology Department at the Dexeus Mujer Group and member of the Bioethics Committee of Catalonia.
A collaborative study carried out by the Biology team of the Dexeus Mujer Group and the Cell Biology Unit of the Faculty of Biosciences at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) has been awarded the “Innovation Award” for the best oral presentation at the recent XIII ASEBIR Congress, held in Barcelona.
The Dexeus Mujer Group has been awarded this year by CECOT in the Digital Transformation category for the services sector for its strategic plan in this field, which has made it possible to optimize both the working conditions of its professionals and the care provided to patients.
The Dexeus Mujer team presented the results of several highly relevant studies in obstetrics and gynecology at the latest edition of the World Congress on Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG), held in Cancún, Mexico.
Accumulated evidence suggests that pregnancies following frozen embryo transfers in artificial cycles are associated with an increased risk of preeclampsia. Doppler ultrasonography of the uterine artery, along with maternal factors and serum biomarkers, is a crucial biomarker for first-trimester preeclampsia screening. It helps to identify “high-risk” patients.
Her Majesty Queen Letizia, President of the Honorary Committee of the Dexeus Mujer Foundation, presented the XIX Dexeus Mujer Foundation Award to Professor Arri Coomarasamy, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to preventing pregnancy loss and reducing maternal mortality during childbirth.

On 29 November, the scientific symposium Advancing Regenerative Medicine in Uro-Gynaecology and Beyond took place at the auditorium of the Hospital Universitari Dexeus in Barcelona. The biotech company Regen Lab, the Biobridge Foundation and Dexeus Mujer jointly promoted the initiative.
Certain aspects of the male factor in infertility remain contentious among specialists and require further research, according to experts. To explore these issues, the Andrology and Men’s Health Unit within the Reproductive Medicine Department at Dexeus Mujer organised an Interdisciplinary Workshop on Male Infertility for health professionals this month.
Shoulder dystocia is a rare but serious obstetric emergency. The Spanish Society of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (SEGO) recommends that labour and delivery teams receive regular training in its resolution.
Once again, we welcome the new academic year with an extensive portfolio of training activities, including master’s degrees, specialisation programmes and continuing education courses officially recognised and taught by expert professionals.
Despite the theoretical benefit of a euploid embryo screened for aneuploidy by preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A), the impact of PGT-A on first-trimester aneuploidy screening has not been accurately assessed.
Ovarian stimulation in both the follicular and luteal phases of the same cycle is an innovative strategy to retrieve more oocytes in a shorter time frame. This approach is therefore particularly attractive for patients with a poor ovarian response.
The difficulty in examining cytological smears lies in the surface area they occupy and the three-dimensionality of certain cell groups. Our centre has recently implemented a digital imaging system for liquid cytology that combines a novel artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm…
