In Vitro Fertilization, Embryo Transfer and Early Pregnancy is
undoubtably the most exciting and onwardly progressing field in
reproductive medicine today. It forms the major subject matter of
this the second volume of the Proceedings and the first book of
Related Communication papers given at the XI International
Federation of Fertility Societies World Congress on Fertility and
Sterility held in Dublin, Ireland from June 26th to July 1st 1983.
The papers have been grouped into closely allied topics covering
sequentially in three parts: Follicle and Ovum in the Human,
Follicle and Ovum in the Animal Model, and Semen and Spermatozoa.
Preceding a timely reminder on Ethical and Legal Aspects of IVF are
some of the remarkable clinical results now been obtained
throughout the world. The final section concerns various aspects of
Pregnancy in Animals and Humans and is included in this volume
because of its close relationship to the main subject matter.
Related Communications sessions often produce the largest amounts
of up-to-date information to be given on a particular subject
during a Congress. IFFS Dublin '83 proved to be no exception. So
although scientific and medical endeavour will ensure that
knowledge and progress in the field will soom overtake many of the
conclusions reached in these papers, nevertheless we hope you will
agree in the merit of producing such a record of the state of the
art at this time. Robert F. Harrison John Bonnar William Thompson
Dublin 1983.
This volume contains the papers on family planning research which
were presented at the XIth World Congress on Fertility and
Sterility held in Dublin, Ireland in June, 1983 under the auspices
of the International Federation of Fertility Societies. These
papers were presented during the related communi cations sessions
of the Congress and have been brought together into a special
volume which will be of major interest to those concerned with
family planning. Section 1, deals with the area of natural family
planning, determination of the fertile period and effects of
lactation. Steroid contraception, vaginal and intrauterine
contraception, abortion and sterilization are included in Sections
2-4. Social aspects of fertility control are covered in Section 5
and the final section contains studies of the effects of gossypol
as a male contraceptive. This volume brings together important new
knowledge in the area of family planning, clarifies some of the
problems and should stimulate research on the many unresolved
issues in this vitally important area."
This monograph contains a selection of papers presented at the Xlth
World Congress of Fertility and Sterility (Dublin, 1983); the
central theme is ovarian function and treatment of its disorders.
Cross-cultural research provides international congresses with
their unique quality due to the world-wide exchange of views; we
think this aim has been achieved and reflected in this book. During
the past decade significant advances have been made in our
understanding of the events surrounding human ovulation leading to
the development of an increasing range of effective therapeutic
agents and the more logical use of existing drugs. As a result
infertile patients with disordered ovulation can now anticipate a
more favourable out come. In addition more sophisticated diagnostic
methods have revealed the presence of minor defects in ovarian
function in some patients previously labelled as 'unexplained
infertility'. The identification of such problems can only lead to
further therapeutic success. The contents of this volume reflect
many different aspects of the study of ovulation including the
monitoring of both follicular growth and the luteal phase, the role
of prolactin and the treatment of ovulatory dysfunction. We are
sure that the wide range of topics will evoke continued interest in
these subjects. We extend our thanks to the invited speakers for
their excellent contributions in lecture and essay form and express
our gratitude for the unfailing help we received from the staff of
MTP Press in the preparation of this volume."
This book is a compilation of edited papers which were presented at
the XIth World Congress of Fertility and Sterility held in June
1983 in Dublin, Ireland. Although it has long been known that male
factors are responsible in at least 30% of infertile couples only
recently have concerted efforts been made on the part of
urologists, gynaecologists and basic scientists to identify these
factors more precisely. The nature of spermatogenesis is complex
but application of various scientific methods have at last opened
up new and promising approaches to our understanding of this
subject. Clinical results however have been depressing; the
majority of treatments lack realistic evaluation and are initiated
in hope rather than with a sound scientific basis. We anticipate
that this volume will in some small way correct these deficiencies.
The papers have been grouped into related topics. The first section
deals with the evaluation of the spermatozoa and includes a
critical assessment of the recently introduced zona-free hamster
egg test of sperm function. Further sections include the
biochemistry of gonadal function and the immunology of male
reproduction; most papers are concerned with studies in the human.
The clinical sections cover medical and surgical approaches to
treatment and the final section deals with various aspects of AID
practice.
The International Federation of Fertility Societies XI World
Congress on Fertility and Sterility took place in Ireland at the
Royal Dublin Society from the 26th June-1st July, 1983. Some 1900
delegates repre senting 54 countries attended the social and
scientific programme in glorious weather that showed off the
unsurpassable rare beauty of Dublin and Ireland, so often hidden in
mist and rain. The book begins with the full inaugural address to
the Conference by Dr A. Kessler, Head of the WHO Special Programme
of Research, Development and Research Training in Human
Reproduction. It then records scientific contributions presented in
the main themes of the Congress, followed by synopses of
deliberations from workshops held during the course of the meeting.
Papers from four special symposia are included, which acknowledge
the debt IFFS Dublin '83 owes the World Health Organization and our
colleagues in the pharmaceutical industry. The large number and
excellent standard of the related communications is such that they
deserve publication in separate appropriate volumes. These are
already in preparation."
This is the second compilation of papers given during the Related
Communica- tions Sessions of the XIth International Federation of
Fertility Societies World Congress held on June 26th-July 1st 1983
at the Royal Dublin Society, Dublin, Ireland. Except for Part I,
where results of animal experimentations are gathered together, the
volume is concerned solely with studies in the human. The role of
infection and endometriosis in the aetiology and treatment of the
tubo- uteroperitoneal factor in infertility are the concern of
Parts II and III. Diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of tubal
disease are covered in Parts IV and V and the book ends with Part
VI, chapters on the uterus and vagina. Laparoscopy and
microsurgical techniques have undoubtedly transformed the
diagnostic and therapeutic outlook in this area of infertility.
This book shows you how far such techniques have progressed and how
much there is yet to do. Dublin, 1983 Robert F. Harrison lohnBonnar

After 20 years of oral contraceptive (OC) use, epidemiological data
and scientific research have led to the now accepted evidence that
the most important effect produced by these drugs on humans, other
than the prevention of unwanted pregnancy, is an increase in the
risk of cardiovascular disease. Because the incidence of
cardiovascular disease is also related to disturbances of the
lipoprotein metabolism, it appears to be opportune to analyse the
different aspects of the interaction between female hormones and
lipoprotein (LP) metab- olism. SERUM LIPOPROTEINS: METABOLISM In
the serum, lipids (cholesterol (C), triglycerides (TG), and
phospho- lipids) are associated with peptides called apoproteins:
apoproteins A-I, A-11, B, C, etc. The chylomicrons and the very low
density lipoproteins (VLDL) are rich in TG and contain the Apo
B-48; the low density lipoproteins (LDL) are rich inC and contain
the Apo B- 100; and the high density lipoproteins (HDL) are rich in
proteins (Apo A-I, Apo A-Il) and phospholipids.
