Ovulation Induction gives an integrated view of basic ovarian
physiology, pathophysiology, and the clinical management of
ovulatory disorders. It provides core information upon which
specialists can base clinical decisions. The most important feature
is the inclusion of newer agents now available for ovulation
induction. Newer clinical applications for older medications as
well as various treatment combinations (including GnRH analogs) are
thoroughly discussed. There is a frank discussion of risks, side
effects, and the expense related to ovulation inducing agents. Many
of the results in this book have never before been published in
book form. Topics examined include the neuroendocrine regulation of
the menstrual cycle, ovarian physiology and in vitro fertilization,
the diagnosis of ovulation and the role of ultrasound in monitoring
the follicular response, the use of clomiphene citrate for
ovulation induction, and the role of bromocriptine and related
compounds for ovulation induction in hyperprolactinemia.
Office-Based Infertility Practice is an invaluable resource to all physicians treating infertile couples. The text emphasizes the practice of infertility in the office setting, reflecting the current trend away from the hospital into the outpatient environment. The most current and advanced therapies available are discussed by recognized experts in the field. The first half of the book is devoted to the evaluation and work-up of the infertile couple, including evaluation of the male, female, age-related infertility factors, and the roles of ultrasound, endometrium saline sonography, falloposcopy and diagnostic laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. The second half of the book presents the treatment and operative procedures for the infertile couple, including ovulation induction, IUI, tubal cannulation, treatment of cervical stenosis, the use of office laparoscopy and therapeutic hysteroscopy, male treatment as support for IVF, vas reversals, and testicular biopsy, as well as routine IVF, intratubal gamete transfer, and micromanipulation. With over 60 illustrations, this book is a must for all infertility specialists, obstetrician-gynecologists, fellows, and residents. Its practical, comprehensive approach will be of daily use to the office practitioner treating women of reproductive age.

"We must have allies in the Settled Domains," Cassia says to Bart.
That means convincing members of the nobility that the Slavers
Guild cannot be trusted, and the notorious Blue Pistol is no threat
to their rule. To that end, they kidnap Cornelia, the daughter of
one Duke. They show her that her father is treating her like a
trinket given to curry favor. Will she get the chance to prove her
value to cause of ending slavery? They also send a merchant and a
wizard to the realm of Duke Avitus. These newcomers bring a message
of freedom. Will Avitus listen to their message, and risk the anger
of the Guild?
John Ewert is one of a handful of survivors of a mysterious plague
that kills off most of humanity. Strangely, the plague leaves those
survivors with magical powers. One group of survivors gather around
a man named Gabe in Ames, Iowa. They believe The End Times are at
hand, and they will be the heroes of Revelations. Others follow a
woman named Lucy to Dallas. She tells them they're going to fight
and win the final battle of the haves against the have-nots. As
what seems to be the last of humanity goes to war, John wonders,
"Is this the apocalypse, or just an incredible simulation?"
Teenager Lisa Herbert lives in the small town of Mountain View on
the planet Fairfield. The "Savage Rain" decades earlier shut down
the hyperspace gate and isolated her world. A casual remark from
her sister gets Lisa to ask a simple question: "If life was better
before the 'Savage Rain, ' why couldn't it be better again?" That
question starts Lisa on a journey. She reactivates Fairfield's
H-gate and travels to three worlds. Each planet offers her a chance
to improve life by hard work, by trade, or by making friends. She
relies on her brains, her compassion, and a little sneakiness to
solve the problems she faces. Lisa's Way presents a heroine more
interested in reasoning than fighting, and more concerned with
doing good than looking good. "The novel's emphasis on character
rather than technology combined with it's almost agrarian
sensibilities make it a great one for fantasy fans who thought they
could never enjoy science fiction. By the same token, this is a
particularly good novel for teens and young adults looking for
something that's not another Harry Potter clone." - David Lee
