Menneskelig reproduktion og udvikling

Bag om Barnløshed er en ny og unik bog, der går bag om et emne, der oftere og oftere skaber store overskrifter i medierne og som vedrører os alle.15-20% af alle der prøver at få børn, oplever på et tidspunkt en følelse af ufrivillig barnløshed, og 10% af de børn som kommer til verden i Danmark i dag fødes efter fertilitetsbehandling. Behandlingsområdet er ekspanderende, nye teknologier kommer til, og flere og flere enlige kvinder vælger at benytte en anonym sæddonor, frem for en biologisk far.Samtidig er fertilitetsbehandling og forskning blevet en ubrydelig symbiose, hvor embryoner fra fertilitetsbehandlingen er en betingelse for forskning i en række sygdomme.Birgitte Klock Clausen, cand. scient. soc. og coach, henvender sig både til barnløse par eller enlige og pårørende, der ønsker mere viden og perspektiv samt hjælp til at træffe vigtige valg og til at komme godt igennem det, de står overfor.Men bogen henvender sig også til alle i fertilitetsbehandlingssystemet og i sundhedssektoren, til politikere, mediefolk, uddannelsesinstitutioner og til alle, der interesserer sig for de fundamentalt forandrede livsvilkår vi står midt i bl.a. som følge af fertilitetsteknologier og stamcelleforskningen.Forlaget Alemona vil formidle ny viden og perspektivere inden for barnløshed, fertilitetsbehandling og det gode liv uden børn på en for alle tilgængelig måde.Bogen er under anmeldelse i pressen og udvalgte magasiner.

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.

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.

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), an obstetric emergency associated with significant maternal morbidity and mortality, has increasingly become a global challenge with the rising trend of cesarean deliveries. This book provides a comprehensive review of basic science-related to PAS, discusses modern practice in diagnosis and classification of PAS disorders, and appraise current recommendations on PAS management in view of recent studies, guidelines, and expert opinions.In the last few years, there have been many new updates to practice guidelines including ACOG, RCOG, and FIGO guidelines in addition to several new studies, some of which were unusually multicenter and of large sample size, that are eligible to make major changes in our PAS practice. In addition, the book aims at providing more comprehensive review of all aspects related to PAS from experts, including topics that are deficient in similar books e.g., vascular anatomy, risk reduction, adjuvant treatments.The book provides a single source that provides academic knowledge for researchers and investigators, and clinical guidance to best practice and recent updates in management of women with PAS.

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.
