   Abstract : The use of acupuncture in the area of reproductive medicine is relatively new, and it has been rather poorly investigated in the past.

5. 8. Novel in vitro methods aiming at improving fertility preservation

   Author : Xia Hao; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The well-established fertility preservative methods for female cancer patients include the cryopreservation of embryos, mature oocytes and ovarian tissue before the initiation of gonadotoxic cancer treatment. Due to a diversity of clinical and practical situations, there are limitations of these methods, creating the necessity to develop further solutions, and there is also a lack of knowledge on the effect of recent gonadotoxic cancer treatment in the ovarian potential.

   Abstract : This thesis explores the relation between gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and gastrointestinal symptoms and dysmotility. In primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS), a patient group with high levels of GnRH antibodies, associations between objective signs and symptoms of autonomic dysfunction (AD), impaired gastric emptying (IGE), and inflammatory and serological features were studied.
