Intrauterine insemination (IUI), also known as artificial insemination, is a fertility treatment that uses a catheter to place washed sperm directly into the uterus. Its aim is to increase the number of sperm reaching the fallopian tubes and subsequently increase the chances of fertilisation (American Pregnancy Association). This book is the first in a new series, Handbook on Infertility. Beginning with an overview of Intrauterine Insemination, the following chapters guide readers step by step through the process, from basic science to clinical application. Ethical, psychosocial and medicolegal aspects are also covered. Written by an internationally recognised author and editor team, this useful manual serves as a quick reference guide and includes photographs, illustrations and tables to enhance learning. Key points First title in new series Handbook on Infertility Presents complete overview of intrauterine insemination Includes chapters on ethical, psychosocial and medicolegal aspects Internationally recognised author and editor team

Part of the recognised Infertility Management Series, this handbook is a complete guide to fertility-related abnormalities of the pelvis. Divided into ten sections, the book covers numerous abnormalities, including fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, genital tuberculosis, and other disorders known to have a detrimental effect on the outcome of assisted reproductive treatment. The text concludes with discussion on gynaecological cancer and fertility preservation options. Edited by recognised experts in the field, led by Madrid-based Juan A Garcia-Velasco, the book is further enhanced by clinical photographs, diagrams and tables. Other titles in the series include: Investigating Infertility, Intrauterine Insemination, Practical Management of Male Infertility, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, and Ovarian Stimulation. Key points Part of Infertility Management Series providing complete guide to fertility-related pelvic abnormalities Includes discussion on gynaecological cancer and fertility preservation Edited by recognised team of experts in reproductive medicine Features clinical photographs, diagrams and tables

Human Reproductive Genetics: Emerging Technologies and Clinical Applications presents a great reference for clinicians and researchers in reproductive medicine. Part I includes a brief background of genetics and epigenetics, probability of disease, and the different techniques that are being used today for analysis and genetic counseling. Part II focuses on the analysis of the embryo, current controversies and future concepts. Part III comprises different clinical scenarios that clinicians frequently face in practice. The increasing amount of genetic tests available and the growing information that patients handle makes this section a relevant part of the fertility treatment discussion. Finally, Part IV concludes with the psychological aspects of genetic counseling and the role of counselor and bioethics in human reproduction.

Endometriosis is a condition that effects 10% to 15% of women of reproductive age and in its more advanced stages it may be an indicator of infertility. This unique book reviews the whole topic of Endometriosis starting from a review of the epidemiological evidence through the sociology of the disease to diagnosis, medical and surgical treatments, management and a discussion of new medical options and future trends in the disease area. It covers pathogenesis, current and future diagnostic methods, therapeutic alternatives; and discusses fertility preservation, cancer possibilities, and quality of life in patients. The book also examines new medical treatments for the condition including Statins, Aromatase Inhibitors and Antiagiogenic Agents and reviews new delivery technologies for classical drugs and provides a synopsis of the new drug pipeline for the condition.

Infertility and Assisted Reproduction presents, in detail, the techniques and philosophies behind medical procedures of infertility and assisted reproduction. World-class experts in their field, representing research from 18 different countries, have contributed to this groundbreaking textbook covering one of the most rapidly changing and hotly debated fields in medicine. Different countries have different restrictions on the research techniques that can be applied to this field, and, therefore, experts from around the world bring varied and unique authorities to different subjects in reproductive technology.
This comprehensive textbook encompasses the latest research into the physiology of reproduction, infertility evaluation and treatment, and assisted reproduction and concludes with perspectives on the ethical dilemmas faced by clinicians and professionals. This book is designed to be a definitive resource for those working in the areas of reproductive medicine the world over.
