Full textThe ability of XY oocytes to regulate granulosa cell differentiation and functions was assessed in oocyte-cumulus complexes (OCC) in vitro . Microsurgical removal of oocytes prevented cumulus cell expansion and suppressed estradiol production while it promoted progesterone production. Coculture of the oocytectomized OCC with denuded oocytes from either XX or XY ovaries resumed cumulus expansion and the normal endocrine profile. Morphometric analyses indicated that XY oocytes were significantly smaller and their zona pellucida layer thinner than XX oocytes as early as the preantral stage. Furthermore, XY oocytes were attached with fewer cumulus cells in antral follicles. To determine whether developmental incompetence of the zygotes from XY ovaries resides in the nuclear or cytoplasmic component, we exchanged the pronuclei between the zygotes derived from B6.YTIR oocytes and those from XX oocytes and examined their development in vitro. The results indicate that both compartments are defective in the B6.YTIR oocyte.
In conclusion, the XY oocyte becomes cell-autonomously defective in both nuclear and cytoplasmic components during early oogenesis.

Full textBackground: Infertility is a condition that is based on a couple not being able to achieve a clinical pregnancy for more than a year of trying. Between 10-15 % of all heterosexual couples of childbearing age are affected by the condition in each country. The cause that is found in 90 percent of cases is either male-, female- or common factors. When no cause is found, it is called unexplained or idiopathic infertility. Before diagnosis and possible treatment, careful investigations are therefore performed with analysis on both the woman and the man. The treatment is then determined based on the cause. In female infertility, in vitro fertilization (IVF) is the most common non-pharmacological procedure used primarily for unexplained infertility and age factors. The antiestrogen clomiphene citrate has for many decades been the first-line parmacological treatment for anovulatory infertility, but in the last 10 years it has been replaced by the aromatase inhibitor letrozole, which with a similar mechanism have effect on ovulation stimulation. Aim: The aim of this thesis was to evaluate and compare the treatment effects of the antiestrogen clomiphene citrate with the aromatase inhibitor letrozole in female infertility. Method: A literature search of related scientific studies was implemented in the medical database PubMed. The keywords used in the searchfield were ”female infertility”, ”clomiphene” and ”letrozole” and then five randomized controlled trial articles (RCT) were selected to be reviewed in the results part of the thesis. Results: All studies, except for study 5, showed that the aromatase inhibitor letrozole had a better effect than clomiphene citrate on ovulation stimulation and thus also to achieve a clinical pregnancy. Administration of letrozole also led to greater endometrial thickness and increased numer of mature follicles. In study 5 on the other hand, letrozole was shown to increase the likelihood of multiple pregnancies. There were a couple of cases of serious side effects during the administration of these drugs, however, the majority of the side effects were mild and occured in the form of headaches, nausea, gastrointestinal disorders, fattigue, and hot flashes. Conclusion: In conclusion, the results suggest that letrozole is a more effective alternative to infertility treatment for women. In addition, since it has a much lower half-life than clomiphene citrate, it is safer to use as low estrogen levels are not optimal in women of childbearing potential.

Full textAbstract (English) Title: Infertility. Who´s right to decide? A qualitative interview study regarding midwives experiences to work with infertility. Author: Rebecka Kristensen Berlin, Umeå University- Department of nursing Objective: To investigate midwives thoughts and experiences regarding couples reactions in connection with infertility. Study design: A qualitative interview study comprising four midwives have been conducted. The resulting data was analyzed using qualitative content analysis, consisting of the following steps: The material was transcribed verbatim and then broken down into sentences, to aid in sorting the data based on content. Condensation was carried out in order to highlight the core content. Abstraction was performed to obtain codes, in order to reduce the amount of text , but also to subsequently merge similar content into subcategories , which were then grouped into categories. Results: Four main categories emerged. Feelings: anxiety, stress and depression were common. Men’s feelings were more difficult to identify since women sometimes came alone to appointments, and men sometimes concealed their feelings behind aggression. Communication: Good information created trust. Advice on lifestyle changes and referrals were important forms of support. Empowerment: No-one has the right to a child, but the right to try to have a child. Personal and societal demands, however, affect the couples at failure to conceive or desire for additional children. Prevention: The importance of information about fertility in school, at contraception counselling and routine smear exams was emphasized. Conclusion: Awareness of the feelings that infertility may give rise to, enables providing satisfactory support. Further efforts need to be made to reach males emotionally as well as preventatively. There is great possibility for improvement in regards to public awareness about infertility. Keywords: female infertility; male infertility; emotions; midwife; qualitative research

Full textBackground: Infertility is when a man and a woman for at least twelve months of regular unprotected intercourse fails to conceive a planned pregnancy. Infertility is a common issue affecting ten to fifteen percent of all couples. Aim: The aim was to describe men and women's experiences of involuntary childlessness caused by infertility, and to describe the selected articles study groups. Method: A literature study. Data was collected from the databases CINAHL, PubMed and PsycINFO. 14 qualitative scientific articles form the basis of this study. Result: Infertile men and women experienced many different emotions caused by their involuntary childlessness. They often experienced a change in their relationship, both in communication and intimacy with their partner. Infertile men and women often had a greater need for support from their partner, people in their surroundings and healthcare professionals. To be able to handle their situation and move on in life, it was important for infertile people to use coping strategies and find other meaningful things in life. Conclusion: Involuntary childlessness caused by infertility affected the men and women both individually as well as a couple. It was common to experience a life crisis associated with infertility, which was expressed in many ways. Based on the present literature study, nurses need to gain understanding and knowledge of the experiences infertile men and women can witness because of their involuntarily childlessness, to be able to better cherish and support these people in the best possible way.

Full textThe development of biological high-throughput technologies (next-generation sequencing and mass spectrometry) have provided researchers with a large amount of data, also known as -omics, that help better understand the biological processes.However, each source of data separately explains only a very small part of a given process. Linking the differents -omics sources between them should help us understand more of these processes.In this manuscript, we will focus on two approaches, clustering and network inference, applied to omics data.The first part of the manuscript presents three methodological developments on this topic. The first two methods are applicable in a situation where the data are heterogeneous.The first method is an algorithm for aggregating trees, in order to create a consensus out of a set of trees. The complexity of the process is sub-quadratic, allowing to use it on data leading to a great number of leaves in the trees. This algorithm is available in an R-package named mergeTrees on the CRAN.The second method deals with the integration data from trees and networks, by transforming these objects into distance matrices using cophenetic and shortest path distances, respectively. This method relies on Multidimensional Scaling and Multiple Factor Analysis and can be also used to build consensus trees or networks.Finally, we use the Gaussian Graphical Models setting and seek to estimate a graph, as well as communities in the graph, from several tables. This method is based on a combination of Stochastic Block Model, Latent Block Model and Graphical Lasso.The second part of the manuscript presents analyses conducted on transcriptomics and metagenomics data to identify targets to gain insight into the predisposition of Ankylosing Spondylitis

Full textAbout 30 % of all infertile couples suffer from infertility of an unexplained cause. Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is a glycoprotein produced by the endometrium and is an important cytokine in the implantation process. LIF exerts its biological functions through heterodimerization of its two receptors: LIF receptor (LIFR) and gp130. Point mutations in the LIF gene have been associated with female infertility. The aim of this study was to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes of LIFR and gp130 could cause reduced fertility in women. To this end, 115 samples from women diagnosed with unexplained infertility and 191 samples from fertile women were studied. Three SNPs in the gp130 gene and two SNPs in the LIFR gene were analyzed using real-time PCR. One significant difference and a tendency to difference were detected in the gp130 gene for women with unexplained infertility. There were no differences in the LIFR gene variations. In conclusion, polymorphisms in gp130, and thereby disturbances in the LIF pathway, could be one cause for infertility in women diagnosed with unexplained infertility.

Full textAs a consequence of positioning women within the dominant gender role of motherhood, the inability to have a child has exposed women, and more notably women in Africa, to extreme social consequences that often violate their human rights and lead to socio-economic disempowerment. The aim of this study was to consider prevailing discursive construction that position women within dominant ideologies that engender motherhood for women, and to explore how women make sense of and construct meaning regarding their experience when they desire but are not able to have a child.

Full textThis work evaluated stress and anxiety in 30 couples submitted to assisted reproduction, with an infertility period that ranged from 1 to 17 years, the moment just before the oocyte retrieval and/or semen sample. For anxiety evaluation the Stai-State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was applied, and stress was evaluated using the Scope-Stress. While applying STAI, a visual analogic scale was added to measure the intensity of anxiety. The identification form included information such as: age, gender, nationality, profession, occupation, religion, school level, monthly income, marital status, married time and issues such as: infertility period, existence of natural or adoptive children, professionals involved in infertility treatment, existence of previous attempts and the moments of major emotional stress during the previous attempts and during the present one. Among the 36 subjects submitted to previous attempts of Assisted Reproduction, one of the three moments of major emotional stress was the attendance of pregnancy confirmation. Among the all 60 subjects submitted to the present attempt, attendance of pregnancy confirmation also was one of the three moments of major emotional stress. Infertility diagnosis was mixed in 33,3% of the couples, exclusively feminine in 20% and exclusively masculine in 46,7% of the couples. Women presented a significantly higher anxiety degree than men, regarding the STAI-TRAIT scales of frequency and intensity and similar regarding the STAI-STATE scales of frequency and intensity. There was no significant difference between the mean scores of men and women regarding descriptive measures of the SCOPE-STRESS.
