Poor ovarian reserve

Females at the same age show great discrepancy in their conceiving ability, so measuring the ovarian reserve was thought to be a good predictor for the female fertility [10]. This idea appeared from the close correlation between the unfavorable infertility treatment outcome (cycle cancellation, low life birth rate or miscarriage) and the diminished ovarian reserve [1-8]. The idea behind the ovarian reserve tests (ORTs) is to predict the female fertility through measuring the level of some hormones

the fertility therapy, blood tests and ultrasounds may be done on a daily basis. At times you may hear IVF patients comment that they had many immature eggs despite being on Orgalutran medication; some patients relate this to time allocated during ovarian stimulation. They believe if time was extended, the situation (immature eggs) would have been prevented. However, this is not the case since some women are at risk of immature eggs during IVF because of: • Advanced maternal

a new era of personalized medicine. • Use of most reliable markers of Ovarian reserve assessment • Individualize expectations of oocyte yield • Clinical work up supported by investigations-History, physical examination and investigations have roles to play in individualizing IVF treatment, the mainstay is individualized controlled ovarian stimulation • Predicting factors-AFC and AMH are the most important predictors of ovarian response • Categorization as per parameters- Normal Responders/High

Mechanisms by which obesity impair ovarian functions Both animal and clinical studies have demonstrated that obesity leads to ovarian dysfunction through oxidative and ER stress and inflammation (26,65,66,74-78). Obesity leads to excess lipids, glucose, insulin, and leptin in variety of ovarian cells including: granulosa cells, cumulus cells, oocytes, and early embryos (ref more;(65,79,80)). Because leptin contributes to follicular growth, steroidogenesis, oocyte maturation and embryo development

married women ages 15 – 44 who are infertile is 1.53 million or 6%. Causes of female infertility may be due to problems with egg production or fertilization, autoimmune disorders, defects of the cervix and uterus, ovarian cysts, clotting disorders, excessive exercising, eating disorders, or poor nutrition, and tumors (Vorvick, 2012). Some form of male infertility such as structural abnormalities, sperm production disorders, ejaculatory disturbances and immunologic disorders was found in 9.4% of men aged

The Ethics of Genetic Testing The Goal of the Human Genome Project is to obtain genetic mapping information and to determine the complete sequence of all human DNA by the year of 2005. The project started in 1990 and 180 million dollars are being spent on it annually. This adds up to a total of over 2 billion dollars for the 15 year budget. Of this 2 billion dollars budgeted, 5% is spent annually on the ethical, legal and social issues. This report focused on some of these issues. Before

Chapter 1 ELO’s Describe the basic functions of living organisms. A. Responsiveness – organisms respond to changes in their immediate environment (long term changes is adaptability) B. Growth – over a lifetime, organisms grow larger through an increase in size or number of cells. Differentiation is when cells have specialized functions C. Reproduction – Organisms reproduce, creating subsequent generations of similar organisms D. Movement – Organisms are capable of movement
