transfer /trans·fer/ (trans´fer) the taking or moving of something from one place to another. gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) retrieval of oocytes from the ovary, followed by laparoscopic placement of the oocytes and sperm in the fallopian tubes; used in the treatment of infertility. passive transfer the conferring of immunity to a nonimmune host by injection of antibody or lymphocytes from an immune or sensitized donor. tubal embryo transfer (TET) 1. retrieval of oocytes from the ovary, fertilization and culture in vitro, then laparoscopic placement of resulting embryos in the fallopian tubes more than 24 hours after oocyte retrieval; used in the treatment of infertility. 2. laparoscopic transfer of cryopreserved embryos to the fallopian tubes. zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT) retrieval of oocytes from the ovary, fertilization and culture in vitro, then laparoscopic placement of the resulting zygotes in the fallopian tubes 24 hours after oocyte retrieval; used in the treatment of infertility.
gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), a human fertilization technique in which male and female gametes are injected through a laparoscope into the fimbriated ends of the fallopian tubes. GIFT Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer. Removal of eggs from the ovary, joining with sperm, and laparoscopically placing same in the fallopian tube via small abdominal incisions transfer [trans´fer] 1. the taking or moving of something from one place to another. 2. the moving of a patient from one surface to another. Patients can be taught to transfer safely either independently or with minimal assistance if they can balance in a sitting position. gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) a type of assisted reproductive technology consisting of retrieval of oocytes from the ovary, followed by placement of oocytes and sperm in the fallopian tubes by laparoscopy. ![]() Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT). Multiple ova and washed sperm are injected into the fallopian tube, where fertilization may occur. From McKinney et al., 2000. passive transfer the conferring of immunity to a nonimmune host by injection of antibody or lymphocytes from an immune or sensitized donor. sliding board transfer a method of transferring a patient: a smooth tapered board is placed under the patient and stabilized on the surface to which movement will take place so that the patient can glide across. tendon transfer surgical relocation of the insertion of a tendon of a normal muscle to another site to take over the function of another muscle inactivated by trauma or disease. tubal embryo transfer (TET) 1. a method of assisted reproductive technology consisting of retrieval of oocytes from the ovary, followed by their fertilization and culture in the laboratory with placement of the resulting embryos in the fallopian tubes by laparoscopy more than 24 hours after the original retrieval. 2. laparoscopic transfer of cryopreserved embryos to the fallopian tubes. zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT) a type of assisted reproductive technology consisting of retrieval of oocytes from the ovary, followed by their fertilization and culture in the laboratory and the placement of the resulting zygotes in the fallopian tubes by laparoscopy 24 hours after the original retrieval.

assisted reproduction assisted reproductive technology choriogonadotropin choriogonadotropin alfa chorionic gonadotropin fertility fertility awareness methods GIFT gonadotrophin gonadotropin HCG hMG human chorionic gonadotropin in vitro fertilization infertility menotropins passive transfer technology transfer | This technology combines the use of fertility drugs - hormonal therapy - with artificial insemination using any of a group of techniques: intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT), or oocyte (egg) donation. Other technologies include intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), in which a single sperm is injected into a single egg during IVF, and gamete intrafallopian transfer, an alternative to IVF in which sperm and unfertilized eggs are surgically placed in a woman's fallopian tubes. In India today, an infertile couple theoretically has recourse to a vast array of assisted-conception technologies, from first-generation technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) to newer ones such as gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) and zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT). |
