Abstract:

The objective for this thesis was to propose a question in the area of reproductive medicine that could be addressed by a clinical trial. In preparation for such a trial we conducted a systematic review of the topic. Our first question was whether metformin is of benefit compared to clomiphene citrate for ovulation induction and achievement of pregnancy in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). We conducted a systematic review (SR) and meta-analysis of the subject before designing and implementing a randomized controlled trial (RCT). The RCT was terminated for recruitment issues. Our P

Abstract:

<p>Socialisation is a life long process in which people acquire the knowledge, rules, opinions and attitudes they need to adjust into a culture and a society. The cultural and traditional beliefs in a society influence gender roles in a society. Women in Zambia are subordinated men and suffer more from sexual and reproductive ill-health. Previous research show that females engage in more risk behaviors even though they have more positive attitudes towards safe sex which makes them more vulnerable when it comes to sexual and reproductive health. The aim of this study was to study the opinions a

Background: Poor response of the ovaries to gonadotropin stimulation is associated with poor outcome following in vitro fertilization. The historical lack of a standard definition for poor ovarian response has resulted in a wide variation in prevalence and outcome measures. More recently, the Bologna criteria has emerged as the standard for identification of poor ovarian responders. There is paucity of literature on poor ovarian response in the African setting.

Dissertation (PhD)--University of Stellenbosch, 2007.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Male fertility has for many years been defined in vitro as the ability of sperm to fertilize oocytes and to obtain early cleavage-stage embryos. Spermatozoa comprise of an extraordinary high percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids in their plasma membrane. Due to an extremely low content of cytoplasm, sperm cells have a particularly low potential to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS), and are therefore highly sensitive to oxidative processes, which lead to sperm nucleus DNA damage/fragmentation.

Disorders of male reproductive health which manifest at birth (cryptorchidism, hypospadias) or in young adulthood (testicular germ cell cancer and low sperm counts), are common and may be increasing in incidence. These disorders have a common fetal origin and share risk factors; consequently they are hypothesized to comprise a testicular dysgenesis syndrome (TDS). TDS arises when maldevelopment (dysgenesis) of the fetal testis results in hormonal malfunctions and abnormal development and function of the somatic cells.

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is an infertility treatment used to assist women to become pregnant. Although the procedure is safe, there are gaps in understanding the association between treatment and adverse pregnancy outcomes (e.g., stillbirth) in the United States. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between stillbirth delivery and ART. The 2 research questions addressed the association between methods of conception (ART versus non-ART) and the delivery of a stillbirth, and the association between multiple gestation pregnancy and risk of stillbirths.

Abstract:

Worldwide, more than half of all HIV-infected individuals are women. Since mucosal surfaces are the primary gateway for HIV entry, maintaining the integrity of the female reproductive tract (FRT) is essential for preventing infection. The FRT employs many immune mechanisms that serve as the first line of defense against HIV transmission. Among these are vaginal fluid secretions rich in antimicrobial peptides, and commensal bacteria that colonize the vagina and prevent infections. We sought to study vaginal fluid as an innate immune component of the FRT in the prevention of HIV infection. Addit
