On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Vietnam Military Medical Academy (March 10, 1949 - March 10, 2024), the Academy organized a scientific conference themed "Updating Knowledge, Applying Technology, Enhancing the Quality of Protection and Healthcare for Soldiers and People" on March 4-5, 2024.
Taking place over two days, the Continuing Medical Education (CME) program and the official scientific conference attracted over 500 delegates, encompassing training topics such as:
CME1: Updating Breast Reconstruction and Reconstructive Surgery Techniques and Post-Breast Cancer Treatment Complications.
CME2: Infection Control
CME3: Assisted Reproductive Techniques
The plenary session featured numerous reports from international experts, including:
+ The Status and Advances in Organ Transplantation in Vietnam - Prof. Dr. Pham Gia Khanh, Vietnam Organ Transplantation Association
+ Application of Modern Medical Technology in the Treatment of Injured and Victims - Prof. Ivchenko E.V., S.M Kirov Military Medical Academy, Russian Federation
+ Asia-Pacific Initiative for One Health Cooperation to Combat Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) - Prof. Motoyuki Sugai, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Japan
Topic 1: Military Medicine
Topic 2: Infection Control and Prevention of Infectious Diseases
Topic 3: Surgery and Plastic Reconstructive Surgery
Topic 4: Internal Medicine and Cancer
Topic 5: New Advances in Biotechnology and Biomedical Sciences
Topic 6: Dioxin and Occupational Diseases
GENTIS Company was honored to be a sponsor of the conference, presenting a direct report and providing research and report materials for the conference; simultaneously sharing insightful and in-depth information on genetic issues in assisted reproduction during the CME3 session.
In his role as chair of the CME3 session, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dinh Tao (President of the Assisted Reproduction Association) coordinated the program and provided clear insights into the importance of genetic testing in assisted reproduction.
The training session began with a presentation by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Hoang (Director of the Assisted Reproductive Technology Center, Tam Anh General Hospital) on the topic "The Role of Genetics in Assisted Reproduction," which attracted the attention of numerous attending doctors. According to Assoc. Prof. Le Hoang, the integration of genetics and assisted reproduction creates new prospects for enhancing treatment effectiveness for infertile patients. Moreover, it is crucial to focus on developing experts in the field of genetics to support clinical doctors. Ordering, counseling, and interpreting genetic test results will be a challenge for clinical doctors who have not yet had much exposure to this field.
The next presented topic, "Mosaic Embryo Transfer: International Recommendations and Clinical Practice in Vietnam," shared by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ho Sy Hung (Deputy Director of the National Assisted Reproductive Technology Center, Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital), garnered significant interest from assisted reproduction doctors. In this report, GENTIS was honored to provide survey data from the National Assisted Reproductive Technology Center in 2023, with 513 embryos examined, revealing a mosaic embryo rate of 30.6%. The associate professor also highlighted points to consider when interpreting embryo test results in cases of mosaicism, and the order of priority for transferring mosaic embryos according to international standards and clinical practice in Vietnam.
Beyond female treatment, the topic of male infertility, "Y Chromosome Abnormalities Causing Infertility," was also an engaging presentation by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Trinh The Son (Director of the Military Clinical Embryo Institute). The associate professor identified Y chromosome abnormalities such as translocations, microdeletions, and Y chromosome numerical abnormalities causing various male infertility conditions like 46,XX; AZF a,b,c deletions; Klinefelter; 47,XYY… From there, Assoc. Prof. Son shared clinical experiences of successfully treated male infertility cases and numerous studies conducted worldwide.
At the end of the CME3 training session, Dr. Pham Dinh Minh (Director of GENTIS R&D Center) provided clinical doctors with an update on the topic "Applying Advances in Biotechnology to Develop Gene and Genetic Tests in Assisted Reproduction." As a pioneer in the field of genetics, GENTIS has provided a comprehensive gene ecosystem for applications from the pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, and healthy childbirth stages. Dr. Minh particularly emphasized the role of genetic doctors and genetic counseling for patients to ensure the best treatment options for infertile families.
The program concluded with lively discussions from participating delegates revolving around topics such as: screening and diagnostic testing for Thalassemia and methods to help families with the disease have healthy children; follow-up recommendations for pregnancy after mosaic embryo transfer; the potential of embryo culture environment analysis in assisted reproduction…
The Scientific Conference Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Vietnam Military Medical Academy was a resounding success, coordinated and presented by leading experts in the field of assisted reproduction. Once again, GENTIS congratulates the conference and invites you to revisit some photos from the event!
