Openness and communication between partners are key elements of dyadic coping with stress. Our main research question is: what is the impact of these factors on relational satisfaction in spouses struggling with infertility or miscarriage? In the current study, by applying the actor&ndash
Inherited semisterility for control of harmful insects. V. Translocations in Culex tritaenio-rhynchus.
1972
Mit unterschiedlichen Dosen von Rontgenstrahlen wurden bei der StechmuckeCulex tritaeniorhynchus chromosomale Aberrationen (vorwiegend reziproke Translokationen) produziert, die von der zweiten Tochtergeneration an einen konstanten Grad von Semisterilitat zeigen. Die Mehrzahl der isolierten Linien zeigte im Durchschnitt eine Letalitat von etwa 50%. Die Variationsbreite innerhalb einer Linie betrug ±10–15%. Durch cytologische Untersuchungen von Prophasechromosomen wurden die geschlechtsbestimmenden Faktoren M und m auf einem der beiden langen Chromosomen lokalisiert.

Possible Role of the Posterior Compartment Peritonectomy, as a Part of the Complex Surgery, Regarding Recurrence Rate, Improvement of Symptoms and Fe…
2020
ABSTRACT Study Objective Beside the pain, there are 2 further problems in the management of endometriosis: the high recurrence rate (10% per year) and the high rate of impaired fertility. The objective of this study was to investigate the pathogenesis of these 2 factors. Design This is a retrospective cohort study, and the aim is to evaluate the complete excision of endometriotic lesions, including the posterior compartment of the peritoneum, with regard to postoperative outcome, focusing on relieving pain, increasing fertility rate, and decreasing recurrence rate. Setting Charite-University Clinic, Department of Gynaecology, Endometriosis research Centre. Patients Fifty-four patients were …
The type of GnRH analogue used during controlled ovarian stimulation influences early embryo developmental kinetics: a time-lapse study
2013
OBJECTIVE: To explore if the GnRH analogue used for controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) and the ovulation triggering factor (GnRH agonist + hCG triggering versus GnRH antagonist + GnRH agonist triggering) affect embryo development and kinetics.STUDY DESIGN: In a retrospective cohort study in the Instituto Valenciano de Infertilidad (IVI) Alicante and the Instituto Universitario-IVI Valencia, Spain, 2817 embryos deriving from 400 couples undergoing oocyte donation were analysed. After controlled ovarian stimulation and IVF/intracytoplamic sperm injection, the timing of embryonic cleavages was assessed by a video time-lapse system. The results were analysed using Student's t test for compari…
Letting go of your dreams—Adjustment of child-related goal appraisals and depressive symptoms during infertility treatment
2008
Abstract To examine the adjustment of child-related goal appraisals during infertility treatment and whether such adjustment contributes to depressive symptoms 178 (86 men, 92 women; age for women M = 33.92, SD = 0.34, for men M = 35.68, SD = 0.45) patients at an Infertility Clinic filled in child-related goal appraisal questionnaires six times: (1) before starting the hormone injections, (2) before the oocytes were retrieved, (3) after embryo transfer, (4) the day when the pregnancy test was done, and (5) two and (6) six months after the infertility treatment. At the first and last measurement times they filled in questionnaire on depressive symptoms. Appraisals concerning child-relate…
Fertility-sparing approach in women affected by stage i and low-grade endometrial carcinoma: An updated overview
2021
Endometrial cancer (EC) is a deleterious condition which strongly affects a woman’s quality of life. Although aggressive interventions should be considered to treat high-grade EC, a conservative approach should be taken into consideration for women wishing to conceive. In this scenario, we present an overview about the EC fertility-sparing approach state of art. Type I EC at low stage is the only histological type which can be addressed with a fertility-sparing approach. Moreover, no myometrium and/or adnexal invasion should be seen, and lymph-vascular space should not be involved. Regarding the pharmaceutical target, progestins, in particular medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) or megestrol …
The Endometrial Microbiome and Its Impact on Human Conception
2021
Changes in the female genital tract microbiome are consistently correlated to gynecological and obstetrical pathologies, and tract dysbiosis can impact reproductive outcomes during fertility treatment. Nonetheless, a consensus regarding the physiological microbiome core inside the uterine cavity has not been reached due to a myriad of study limitations, such as sample size and experimental design variations, and the influence of endometrial bacterial communities on human reproduction remains debated. Understanding the healthy endometrial microbiota and how changes in its composition affect fertility would potentially allow personalized treatment through microbiome management during assisted…
Avaliação da sexualidade de mulheres inférteis
2012
ResumoObjetivoNo nosso meio, não existem estudos que investiguem a sexualidade da mulher infértil. Sendo assim, há necessidade de uma maior compreensão dos aspectos da sexualidade dessas mulheres, assim como de possíveis disfunções sexuais nelas presentes.Material e métodosForam usados nesta pesquisa o Questionário do Quociente Sexual (versão feminina) e um questionário que investigava aspectos do relacionamento conjugal e sexual elaborado especialmente para esse estudo. Participaram da pesquisa 111 pacientes que buscavam por tratamentos de reprodução assistida no Projeto Beta, sem ainda terem iniciado qualquer tipo de tratamento, com idades entre 25 a 47 anos.ResultadosOs dados mostraram q…
Alpha-adrenergic drugs in retrograde ejaculation.
1974
6 men with complete or partial loss of ejaculation as a result of retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy (performed because of testicular tumor) were treated with an intravenous injection of 60 mg synephrine. Synephrine stimulates adrenergic alpha-receptors. Only 1 man with sustained retrograde ejaculation improved following treatment showing antegrade ejaculation. This temporary restoration of fertility was thought to be due to an increase in bladder neck tone and prevention of backflow of semen into the bladder as a result of stimulation of adrenergic alpha-receptors.
