  2. 6. Studies on genetic aberrations as possible predictors of the outcome of assisted reproduction

    Author : Mona Bungum; Malmö Reproduktionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; assisted reproduction; IUI; Sperm chromatin; ICSI; intra-individual variation; fertilisation failure genetic aberration; Protein C inhibitor gene; sperm DNA damage SCSA; IVF;

    Abstract : Traditionally, diagnosis of male infertility has relied upon microscopic assessment of semen. The normality criteria set by the World Health Organization (WHO) in regard to sperm concentration, motility and morphology are, however, poor predictors of fertility. READ MORE

  4. 7. Endocrine and therapeutic aspects of infertile women with the polycystic ovary syndrome

    Author : Margareta Fridström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : cost-effectiveness; FSH threshold; glucocorticoids; granulosa cells; infertility; in vitro fertilisation; obesity; ovulation induction; polycystic ovary syndrome; pregnancy complications;

    Abstract : Fertility treatment with gonadotrophins in infertile clomiphene resistant women with the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is troublesome with an unpredictive ovarian response. The purpose of this study was to elucidate aspects of ovarian sensitivity and to evaluate treatment efficiency and costs of ovulation induction (OI) and in vitro fertilisation (IVF), as well as pregnancy outcome after infertility treatment in patients with PCOS.

  5. 8. Cattle grazing on semi-natural pastures : animal behaviour and nutrition, vegetation characteristics and environmental aspects

    Author : Maja Elisabeth Pelve; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The knowledge of the grazing behaviour of cattle on Swedish semi-natural pastures and how this relates to the nutritional quality and quantity of the vegetation is low. In a situation where farming is being intensified both nationally and globally, it is important to gain more information about semi-natural pastures and how to utilise this resource properly.

  6. 9. OVULATION: Intra-ovarian mechanisms

    Author : Farnosh Sørensen Zakerkish; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ovulation; Human;

    Abstract : Background: Ovulation is the central biological process involved in the menstrual cycle of women. Specifically, ovulation involves the tissue remodelling of the preovulatory follicle to achieve the rupture of the exterior follicle wall with the extrusion of the oocyte. READ MORE

  7. 10. Economic aspects of infertility treatment

    Author : Maria Granberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : ART; health economy; financing; willingness to pay; cost; cost effectiveness; infertility treatment; IVF; ICSI; donor insemination; polycystic ovary syndrome PCOS ; tubal surgery;

    Abstract : Background: With the expansion of IVF into general clinical practise during the 1980's and 1990's, the interest to identify and compare costs of different infertility treatments increased and, in many countries there is an ongoing debate about whether or not in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and other assisted reproductive techniques (ART) should be covered by national health insurance schemes. Objective: The aim of the present study was to examine aspects of cost in relation to effectiveness and benefits of infertility treatment, with particular emphasis on in-vitro fertilisation. READ MORE
