A book for men and women from middle age to advanced years who have suddenly and unexpectedly become confronted with the huge effects that the male prostate can have on the body. It is a tale of what can happen to both men and women when the prostate transforms over time as the body changes, free of any of the minor or major taboos surrounding those involved.The book presents both a subjective and an objective account, from a female and a male perspective, of what the prostate is and of the physical, psychological and social effects that changes to the prostate can bring as one ages or reaches old age. The latest medical, psychotherapeutic and social measures available to help men with prostate issues and their partners are discussed. It also addresses the therapeutic taboos that have previously prevented us from attempting a systemic approach to the physical, psychological and social transformation that men and women undergo when they reach middle age and beyond.

Die Kryokonservierung ermöglicht es, Keimzellen, 2-PN-Zellen und Embryonen einzufrieren und über Jahrzehnte zu lagern. Ihre Bedeutung für die Kinderwunschbehandlung wächst stetig. Dennoch bedürfen viele Aspekte vor, während und nach der Kryokonservierung rechtlicher Klarheit. Dies betrifft neben dem rechtlichen Status des Kryogutes vor allem die Entscheidungsrechte der intendierten Eltern. Weitere Problemfelder bilden die zulässigen Handlungen im Umgang mit dem Kryogut, die fehlende zeitliche Höchstlagerungsdauer, die Kinderwunschbehandlung post mortem und der Umgang mit überzähligem Kryogut. Der Autor arbeitet die rechtlichen Grundlagen der Kryokonservierung heraus. Hierbei zeigt er auf, an welchen Stellen ein gesetzlicher Regelungsbedarf besteht und unterbreitet konkrete Regelungsvorschläge.

Adolescence is a phase of life where transformation fromchildhood to adulthood takes place. Puberty, as the marker of thisphase, presents a significant opportunity to lay a foundation forreproductive health of young people. Pubertal development affectsfemale adolescents differently to their male counterparts. Withinthis period, the young female will experience significant changes inher body and will start her reproductive journey. It is essential thatyoung females are prepared to ensure a smooth transition and apositive puberty experience. However, little is known about youngfemales' knowledge of reproductive health during puberty or theirsources of information about reproductive health during this criticaltime. Globally, research focuses on adolescents aged 15 years andabove, and there is limited data on early adolescents, specificallyyoung female adolescents age 12 to 15 years. Studies conducted withIndonesian adolescents tend to focus on sexual behaviour as a poorreproductive health outcome and fail to consider the importance ofexploring adolescents' knowledge of reproductive health duringpuberty. This PhD study was designed to address these gaps in theliterature by providing an exploration into young females' knowledgeof reproductive health and the sources of information regardingreproductive health during puberty.

Journeys, good or bad, are experienced by every woman.We don't mind sharing the tranquil, pleasant expeditions because they illustrate that all is well in the world and happiness is on full display. But what about the journeys that leave us wondering, "Why me?" and "How did I get here?" We may often choose to suffer in silence or hide from our friends and family when our situation doesn't resemble a pretty, picture-worthy social media post.The Journey examines the elephant in the room that many women face while managing their careers and family planning and provides valuable insights into creating safe spaces for spouses, partners, family, and friends-a necessary tool for living a life that is fully transparent and free from the shackles of fear, shame, or embarrassment.

This book discusses the role of oxidative stress in human reproduction with a focus on men's health. The physiological roles of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in male fertility are the focus in this book. This topic is important because oxidative stress is a result of the imbalance between ROS and antioxidants in the body which may lead to sperm damage (DNA or count), deformity, and eventually, male infertility. Therefore, for a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms related to male genotoxicity and its regulation in infertility, this book provides an up-to-date view on the impact of oxidative stress factors in male reproduction .The main aim of this book is to collect a series of research articles and reviews from a diverse group of scientists to share their research work on the role of ROS or oxidative stress in physiological and pathological states in relation to (in)fertility in the male. This book presents various state-of-the-art chapters of the recent progress in the field of cellular toxicology and clinical manifestations of various issues related to men's health and fertility. Topics include cell signaling, DNA damage and infertility, the pathophysiology of disease instigation and distribution, immune toxicity and prevention.

In the last few decades, as new reproductive technologies have been developed, couples desiring children have increasingly turned to various medical interventions when natural conception has been unsuccessful. These new technologies have raised ethical concerns from various quarters, including medical ethics committees, the American Fertility Society, and the Roman Catholic Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.In this informative overview of the ethical implications of reproductive technologies, philosopher Richard T. Hull offers a cross-section of the thinking of individuals specializing in the ethical and legal problems involved in this new area of medicine.The contributors reflect interests as varied as those of the enthusiastic proponent of the new reproductive technologies, the feminist opposing the exploitation of women, the social critic worrying about erosion of the responsibilities of parenting, and the traditionalist concerned with the transformation of the fundamental moral fabric and social character of the family. Many of the chapters include cases for further discussion and reflection. Also included are three speculative scenarios: selections from Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, and Gena Corea's report of the drive to develop an artificial womb.New to this edition are a glossary, which provides succinct definitions of highly technical terms and Web sites for further information, and a thorough index.This excellent collection of expert articles will stimulate appreciation of the complex and mutitiered character of moral decision-making as it is experienced by patients, medical professionals, and legislators and jurists charged with preserving, protecting, and applying justly the principles of society.

Endometrial dysfunction refers to the disruption of normal endometrial physiology, leading to infertility, abnormal uterine bleeding, and other gynecological disorders. The molecular and signaling mechanisms that contribute to endometrial dysfunction are complex and multifactorial, involving a range of cellular and molecular pathways. As such, investigating these mechanisms requires a deep understanding of the molecular biology of the endometrium and the cellular processes that regulate its function.One key area of investigation in endometrial dysfunction is the role of hormones and their receptors in the regulation of endometrial physiology. The endometrium is sensitive to the effects of ovarian hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, which play critical roles in regulating the menstrual cycle and preparing the endometrium for implantation of a fertilized egg. Dysregulation of hormonal signaling pathways can lead to disruptions in endometrial function, contributing to infertility and other gynecological disorders.Another important area of investigation is the role of inflammatory and immune signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of endometrial dysfunction. Inflammatory cytokines and chemokines play a critical role in modulating endometrial function and regulating the immune response to implantation. Dysregulation of these pathways can lead to a range of gynecological disorders, including endometriosis, adenomyosis, and recurrent pregnancy loss.Molecular investigations into endometrial dysfunction have also focused on the role of epigenetic mechanisms in regulating gene expression and modulating cellular function. Epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation and histone modifications can play critical roles in regulating endometrial function and influencing the pathogenesis of gynecological disorders. Studies have shown that alterations in DNA methylation patterns and histone modifications can lead to dysregulation of key genes involved in endometrial function, contributing to infertility and other reproductive disorders.Advances in molecular biology techniques have enabled researchers to investigate these pathways in greater detail, uncovering new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying endometrial dysfunction. Techniques such as gene expression profiling, genome-wide association studies, and next-generation sequencing have enabled researchers to identify novel genes and pathways involved in the regulation of endometrial function and to identify potential targets for therapeutic intervention.In conclusion, molecular investigation of endometrial dysfunction is a rapidly evolving field that has the potential to provide new insights into the pathogenesis of gynecological disorders and to identify new therapeutic targets for their treatment. By gaining a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying endometrial dysfunction, researchers can develop more targeted and effective treatments for infertility, abnormal uterine bleeding, and other gynecological disorders, ultimately improving the health and wellbeing of women worldwide.

Embryo implantation is a complex process that involves several molecular and cellular mechanisms. One of the key players in this process is microtubule polymerization, which is regulated by the microtubule-associated protein TPPP3.Microtubules are cytoskeletal structures made up of tubulin proteins that play a critical role in many cellular processes, including cell division, intracellular transport, and cell motility. In the context of embryo implantation, microtubules are essential for the proper positioning of the blastocyst (early-stage embryo) within the uterine lining, and for the subsequent invasion of the trophoblast cells into the maternal tissue.This book explores, microtubule polymerization and TPPP3 play critical roles in embryo implantation by regulating the formation of focal adhesions, promoting trophoblast invasion, and regulating the expression of implantation-related genes. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes may lead to the development of novel therapeutic strategies for infertility and other reproductive disorders.
