Infertility

Over the past 12 years, it has become increasingly recognized that insulin resistance is central to the pathogenesis of the polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). The use of insulin-sensitizing agents, such as Metformin, a biguanide insulin-lowering agent in ovulation induction for IVF, has been widely studied.

Effective health policy requires a thorough understanding of intrinsic social, ethical, political and philosophical aspects of infertility and its treatment. The procedure with the highest success rate to address the clinical challenge of infertility for many patients is a relatively high-technology procedure, in vitro fertilisation (IVF).

Celiac disease occurs in roughly 1% of all humans. It is an autoimmune condition initially caused by hypersensitivity and hyperimmunity to a class of proteins, called gliadins, which are found in the outer husk of common grains such as wheat, barley, rye, and oats.

1. What is your most interesting case of celiac disease? 2. How common is celiac disease in women with amenorrhea? 3. If a woman is diagnosed with celiac disease, should she be screened for any other conditions?

For the past 40 years the rogress made in the field of reproductive physiology has been dramatic. Among key discoveries the understanding of the hormonal control of the Hypothalamic Pituitary Gonadal axis has been flabbergasting.

The statistics are shocking: One in seven US women will be treated for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) over the course of her lifetime. That translates into more than a million women diagnosed with PID each year.

Fertilization, both natural and by assisted reproduction techniques (ART), needs the dual support of the sperm not only for the messages it carries but for being as a messenger cell the and carrier of these messages as well.

In infertile women undergoing therapy with assisted reproductive techniques, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), the use of gonadotropins to achieve multifollicular development is now well established.

ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) is arguably the biggest advance in assisted reproductive technology since the successful birth of Louise Brown, 21 years ago.
