Manual of Assisted Reproductive Technologies and Clinical Embryology aims to discuss the relevance of science of reproductive biology in modern-day Assisted Reproductive Technologies and their practical applications. The readers can learn and master the large number of sophisticated techniques which form the backbone of the fascinating and growing field of human assisted reproduction. The subject is vast and has been covered over 83 chapters. All the chapters are dealt by the experts of concerned fields. Principles and protocols pertaining to laboratory maintenance, culture media, cryofreezing of gametes, embryos, and genital tissues have been dealt with at length. This book is an invaluable reference book for the clinicians, reproductive biologists and embryologists.
A step by step guide to the practical management of protocols in clinical embryology and Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Beginning with an introduction to setting up an ART centre and selecting patients for In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), the text then discusses the various procedures and protocols, and their advantages and disadvantages. The final chapters discuss the role of ultrasound, as well as ethical and legal issues associated with ART. More than 250 colour images and illustrations assist understanding, along with an ancillary DVD showing procedures related to ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), Ovum pick up, laboratory protocols, PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration); as well as demonstrating different techniques for gamete freezing and embryo transfer and reduction.
Human beings have been producing more twins, triplets, and quadruplets than ever before, due to the expansion of medically assisted conception. This book analyzes the anticipatory regimes of making multiple babies. With archival documents, participant observation, in-depth interviews, and registry data, this book traces the global and local governance of the assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) used to tackle multiple pregnancy since the 1970s, highlighting the early promotion of single embryo transfer in Belgium and Japan and the making of the world's most lenient guidelines in Taiwan.
This manual is a comprehensive guide to Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) and Clinical Embryology. Beginning with an introduction to ART, the book discusses embryology and provides a step by step description of different types of ART. With contributions from international experts, this book includes a DVD illustrating different laboratory and cryobiology protocols. A section on the challenges of ART and possible problems that may be encountered is also included.
This is the 1st edition of the book A Workbook on Human Spermatozoa and Assisted Conception. The text is comprehensive, updated and fully revised as per the present day requirements in the subject of assisted conception. The book has 17 chapters classified into twelve sections. The first chapter deals with equipments and culture media used in semen analysis. Subsequent two chapters are computer assisted semen analysis which provides a comprehensive description of human semen analysis with the help of well-illustrated diagrams in a user friendly language. A sound foundation of understanding of sperm morphology and semen preparation is provided in the next three chapters giving details of semen ejaculate, semen extract and semen preparation of infected semen sample in simple text and easy to understand illustrations along with recent advances. Oxidative stress test is described in chapter 10. The chapter 11 to 14 deal with different tests done on sperms. Chapter fifteen describes Oocyte spindle imaging system. The chapter 16th and 17th deal with semen banking and vitrification. A comprehensive index is given at last.
20 interactive DVDs featuring over 130 videos providing a comprehensive overview of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART). Accompanying book covers In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF).

IVF Techniques for the Beginners brings clinicians fully up to date with the latest advances in equipment and techniques for In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF). Divided into two sections, the book begins by describing IVF procedures and includes a chapter on fertility preservation in female cancer patients. The second section presents essential protocols in ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology), describing the equipment, reagents and procedure for each technique. Enhanced by nearly 70 images and illustrations, this comprehensive manual covers essential clinical aspects and common clinical embryology, and integrates the relevance of science in reproductive biology and its practical application. Key points Comprehensive guide to latest advances in IVF Second section dedicated to essential protocols in ART Integrates reproductive science and its practical application Includes chapter on fertility preservation in female cancer patients
Cytogenetics is the study of the structure and function of the cell, particularly chromosomes. Manual of Cytogenetics in Reproductive Biology examines the diagnostic role of cytogenetics in improving the outcome of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Divided into six sections, the book begins with the basics of genetics, followed by investigative cytogenetics, applied cytogenetics, recent advances, preimplantation and prenatal cytogenetics. This comprehensive guide includes nearly 200 clinical images, diagrams and tables, and is an invaluable reference for practising specialists in genetics, infertility and obstetrics and gynaecology. Key points Examines diagnostic role of cytogenetics in improving outcome of ART Six sections each providing in depth coverage of different aspects of cytogenetics Includes nearly 200 clinical images, diagrams and tables Invaluable for specialists in genetics, infertility and OBSGY
This case-based guide is written from the clinician's perspective, dealing with a defined male infertility problem, tracing the actual clinical pathway arriving at the diagnosis, and discussing the treatment options and the likely outcome. Rather than focusing on excessive theoretical details, each chapter presents a unique clinical vignette or scenario, the relevant aspects of which are followed throughout the entire chapter, correlating specific fertility issues with clinical findings, describing treatment options, prognoses and procedures (when indicated), and concluding with practical clinical pearls. Opening with chapters describing current diagnoses of male infertility and semen analys...
