Male Sterility and Motility Disorders: Etiological Factors and Treatment
ISBN: 9781461271772 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This conference, dedicated to the etiology and treatment of motility disor- ders in spermatozoa and male sterility, attracted some of the finest investiga- tors in the field. Standards were immensely high throughout, and discussions were meaningful and detailed. Analyses on disorders in sperm motility de- mand a broad-based approach, involving cytologists, geneticists, andrologists, and embryologists, because the topic has many clinical and scientific over- tones. Human spermatozoa are at the mercy of so many factors as they form and mature in the testis and epididymis. Their survival and...

Cell Death in Reproductive Physiology
ISBN: 9781461273516 / Angielski / Miękka / 307 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The regulation of cell death in various reproductive tissues, as in other ma- jor organ systems of the body, has become a focal point of research activity in many laboratories over the past few years. As such, the need for a "for- mal" meeting to highlight recent work in this field, as well as to integrate knowledge from other sources (such as investigators working on cell death in cancer and immune function) in the broad context of identifying con- served pathways that coordinate life-and-death decisions in diverse cell types, became apparent. Therefore, the goals of the Scientific Committee...

Issues and Reviews in Teratology: Volume 5
ISBN: 9781461278474 / Angielski / Miękka / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why Efforts to Expand the Meaning of "Teratogen" Are Unacceptable Disagreement about nomenclature in teratology is not new. Dissent even about the very fabric of the discipline-what congenital malformations consist of-has often been voiced. Time, instead of resolving such diffi culties, has sometimes worsened them. For example, in the past it was agreed that congenital malforma tions are abnormalities of structure present at birth, but differences of opinion concerning where the line between normal and abnormal was to be drawn prevailed. It was obvious that, in order to discover the causes of...

Abortion: Understanding Differences

SIDNEY CALLAHAN AND DANIEL CALLAHAN This book, like many other things to do with abortion, is a product of long controversy. Though carried out with cooperation, it was conceived in conflict. The conflict between the coeditors has per sisted for years-in fact, for at least half of their thirty-year marriage. One, Sidney, is prolife; the other, Daniel, is prochoice. Ever since the topic of abortion became of professional interest to us, in the 1960s, we have disagreed. At one time, while Daniel was writing a book on the subject, Abortion: Law, Choice and Morality (1970), we talked about the...
