Description
Fertility and Reproductive Medicine is a compilation of approximately 70 state-of-the-art lectures given by international authorities
in basic science and clinical investigation in reproductive medicine. The result is an
excellent blending of contemporary, factual information
most specifically focused on three categories - Reviews, Practice and Research.
Articles from the Review section range from
updates on current investigation in polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD), to microlaparoscopy technology for tubal factor infertility, and
legal and ethical considerations of assisted reproductive technology. Articles in the Practice section include the latest clinical
studies in ovulation induction regimens, the most effective management of the different stages of endometriosis, and the most current
recommendations for the management of menopause. Articles in the Research sections report on a wide variety of investigation
which include: research on the role of glycodelins with immunosuppressive properties in implantation and placentation, reports on the
rapid progress in defining genes on the Y chromosome and the implications of their deletion on male infertility, and studies increasing
our understanding of androgen receptor structure and function.
This book, derived from the proceedings of the XVI World Congress on
Fertility and Sterility, will be a valuable tool to professionals who are interested in the advances in reproductive medicine, basic
science breakthroughs and application of clinical research to the management of infertile patients.
Audience
Gynecologists, Urologists, Endocrinologists, Internists, Basic Scientists, Physicians-in-training, Allied health professionals including those in laboratory medicine, Educators.
