    Keywords : FSHR; LHCGR; single-nucleotide polymorphism SNP ; in vitro fertilization IVF ; reproduction; Infertility; male fertility; female fertility;

    Abstract : To date, approximately 15% of all couples worldwide suffer from infertility. The management include controlledovarian hyper-stimulation of the women with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and semen analysis of the men,prior to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and transfer of the fertilized embryo to the uterine cavity.

    Abstract : Where do babies come from? Even though it sounds like a fairly obvious question, it took more than 200 years to discover that sperm, whose first observation dates back to the 17th century, can penetrate into the oocyte and fuse with it. Interestingly, this initial study was carried out in starfish, and since then, scientists have addressed the fascinating question of how gamete recognition functions using very different model systems.

  7. 25. Prenatal diagnosis in routine antenatal care : a randomised controlled trial

    Author : Sissel Saltvedt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Ultrasound; fetal ultrasonography; Down s syndrome; chromosomal disorder; nuchal translucency; genetic screening; prenatal diagnosis; abnormalities; gestational age; in vitro fertilization; fetometry; dating formulas; false positive reactions; anxiety;

    Abstract : Nuchal translucency (NT) measurement combined with maternal age has been shown to identify women at an increased risk of carrying a fetus with Down's syndrome (DS) more accurately than does maternal age alone. The aim of this study was to evaluate more widely the effects of two different strategies for prenatal diagnosis. READ MORE
