The male and female reproductive systems consist of the gonads,
testes or ovaries; the reproductive tract; the external genitalia;
and the hypothalamic-pituitary unit. The functions of the
reproductive system are to produce and deliver gametes, spermatozoa
or oocytes, for sexual reproduction; and produce hormones that
regulate reproductive function and secondary sex characteristics.
Abnormalities in anatomic or physiologic function affect the
development and delivery of gametes, and potential fertility. This
book provides a comprehensive review of the anatomy and physiology
specific to reproduction, emphasizing developmental and hormonal
processes of gamete production, fertilization, implantation, and
embryonic development. This review has been designed to meet the
educational needs of physicians and allied health professionals who
care for couples experiencing infertility. By developing a clear
understanding of what is normal, you will better understand
abnormalities affecting reproduction and the mechanisms behind
treatment.

Ten years ago a group of experts assembled in Chicago to develop a
consensus on the management of conditions previously described as
intersex. The consequences of this consensus have been far
reaching, including a change in nomenclature, the development of
greater collaboration across geographical boundaries, and a move
towards greater involvement of patients and parents. Moreover, an
international registry was established, as well as research and
clinical networks. This book brings together a thorough overview on
all these topics. Furthermore, the major technological advances in
diagnostic genetic and biochemical capabilities over the past 10
years are outlined in detail. Offering a comprehensive update on
various aspects of disorders of sex development (DSD), this book
will be essential reading to all clinicians who are involved in
delivering health care to patients with a DSD, as well as
scientists involved in biomedical research related to DSD.
Stuart and his wife Julie decided they were ready to have a baby.
She went on vitamins and they went on one last vacation, because
they thought it would be no time at all before she was pregnant.
But that's not exactly how things went. For nearly two years, they
endured grueling fertility treatments, beginning with charting
temperatures and predicting ovulation, on to oral fertility drugs,
through a laparoscopy, a slew of IUIs, and multiple IVFs, and,
finally, a course of homeopathic remedies. Catawampus tells this
tale of the madness and confusion of fertility treatments and all
that those treatments entail but, this time, it's Stuart that tells
the story. So, specimen collecting? Sure. Syringes, large and
small? Yes. Heartache, frustration, and anger? Of course, but
Stuart also shows what else was going on at the time, because,
despite the fact that the fertility process can dominate a couple's
focus, life continues to unfold. As such, the book is about a
relationship between husband and wife, between parent and child,
about friendship, and, ultimately, about what it means to be a
father. Oh, yeah, it's also very funny. And filled with a choice
selection of rants about popular culture, references to movies
ranging from the ridiculous to the mostly-still-ridiculous,
citations of literary classics, and a little bit of Nashville
thrown in for fun. In the end, it's entertaining and poignant
writing, and a necessary and underrepresented perspective of an
important, hot-button issue.
The most important and the largest sex organ is located between the
ears....and is commonly referred to as "the brain." Libido is a
function of testosterone and erection is a function of free
radicals. The very spark of life is fed by oxygen If you put out
your free radical, oxidative fire, you extinguish your life If you
douse your inner life-force spark, you smother your elan vital
(life force). You can not live without your inner oxidative flame.
Antioxidants pose a threat to the oxidative fire within. Oxygen and
its electronically modified oxygen derivative (EMOD) progeny are
the sine qua non (the essential condition) of man's very existence.
This is an inarguable fact. Contrary to the common mantra of many
authors, oxygen free radicals perform many crucial beneficial roles
in sexual function and reproduction. Also contrary to popular
claims, antioxidants are not the cure-all for sexual and
reproductive problems. I have often said, "Man is the craziest
critter on the planet." To back this up, I had suggested that all
one had to do was to turn on the evening news or grab a newspaper.
However, if you really want to see how crazy man is, just come with
me through the history of aphrodisiacs and sexual prowess. So,
let's undergo a reality check and scope out the history of these
agents that claim to put more "zang in your wang," "zing in your
thing" or greater "zippedy in your doo-da "
How we age is much more of a choice than you may think. Many people
reach a stage when they are looking for something different. Others
feel that time is running out, or they are "losing their looks."
The answers to these anxieties rarely lie in a jar or a pill. As a
healthy lifestyle is important in looking and feeling good, so our
attitude is important in giving meaning and direction to our lives,
and even improving our looks. Combining the latest research on
health, ageing and well-being with 30 years experience of working
with people, we present a constructive antidote to the myths and
stereotypes around ageing, and a guide to an exciting, fulfilling
future.
This book covers human female biology, how the menstrual cycle is
controlled, how steroidogenesis is controlled and how the follicle
and the egg are formed. This book covers male biology, and how
steroid hormones are made, and how sperm are synthesised and
matured. Then this book covers sex biology, such as how the brain
deals with libido and sexual images, and how the brain controls
erection and ejaculation. This book deals with how sperm are
matured upon intercourse, how fertilisation takes place, and how
the fertilised embryo is matured and implants in the uterus. The
subjects of sexuality and homosexuality, chromosome disorders and
hydatidiform moles are carefully discussed and considered. Sexual
maturation of the foetus during pregnancy is carefully considered.
This book carefully describes puberty, adrenarche and menarche. The
subject of menopause is carefully considered. The subject of major
bacterial and viral and sexual diseases is carefully considered as
is the subject of reproductive cancers. In writing this book, care
has been taken to update everything and check out the information
available on medline and on the internet. This is a textbook for
undergraduates, medical students and graduates describing all the
details of human reproduction. It is also the only up-to-date book
on the market. Having examined a total 70 books on human
reproduction, obstetrics and gynaecology, they all, with no
exceptions, include mostly out-of-date science. This is corrected
in this book. This book is also a monograph for reproductive
biology scientists, covering all the most recent findings in this
field. It can also be sold as a general obstetrics and gynaecology
information source for use by physicians, the general public and in
libraries. This is a unique one-of-a-kind reference on human
reproduction.
In this book the authors present current research in the study of
spermatozoa. This compilation focuses on the biology, motility and
function and chromosomal abnormalities of spermatozoa. Topics
discussed are the epigenetic mechanisms in mammalian male germline;
biological characteristics of sperm in two oyster species;
sub-cellular dynamics occurring during capacitation of mammalian
spermatozoa; new perspectives on the study of prion and prion-like
proteins; meiotic segregation studies in spermatozoa of males
carrying a structural chromosome abnormality; testicular germ cell
apoptosis during orchitis; the influence of leukocytospermia on
semen parameters; and spermatozoa motility and morphology.
In this book the authors present current research in the study of
foetal development and its stages of growth, maternal influences
and potential complications. Topics discussed in this compilation
include the equine foetal development, fetomaternal interaction and
potential complications during pregnancy; comparative anatomy,
development and functional significance of the mammalian yolk sac;
influence of exercise training on e-NOS expression, nitric oxide
production and mitochondrial function in the human placenta;
maternal melamine and foetal development; and immunolocalisation of
syntaxin2 in sinusoidal endothelial cells during mouse liver
development.
This personal scientific memoir describes how a chance observation
concerning artery disease in children with rare inherited
abnormalities of metabolism, often called experiments of Nature,
led to the discovery of a new theory of heart disease, cancer and
diseases of ageing. As explained in subsequent chapters, this new
theory places the amino acid homocysteine at the heart of altered
metabolism of diseases of ageing. Not only does this theory
illuminate and explain the origin of these diseases, development of
this theory logically leads to a novel and revolutionary metabolic
and nutritional program for disease prevention and treatment,
potentially benefiting individuals and populations.
Infertility affects about 15% of couples in western societies. In
addition to isolation, infertility challenges women's sense of
identity, expectations of their life trajectory and their perceived
value in society. This book presents current research on the
genetic factors, treatment risk and benefits, and social and
psychological consequences of infertility. Topics include the
traditional Chinese medicine approach to fertility management;
adverse outcomes of assisted reproduction techniques; the impact of
follicular fluid components and embryo-endometrial cross-talk on
the oocyte quality or embryo viability; iatrogenic damage incurred
during fertility treatment upon gamete competence and embryonic
viability; genetic factors of male infertility; animal models for
studying female infertility; and treatment of endometriosis
associated with infertility.
