This book emphasizes the concept that every person's viewpoint is unique, that we each have our own reality or story, and that we bring that story to every interaction we have with others. Thus, a critical component of having effective and meaningful dialogue with others is our ability to be aware …

What is a "World Class Production System"? The many lessons in this slim book form the basis of an answer to that question. John Black presents the reader with powerful JIT (Just-In-Time) concepts that can be applied to any business and how those concepts can be the basis of a change strategy for d…

Teaching is one of the most valuable services nurses provide to patients and families. But whether in the hospital, clinic, home, or long-term care facility, other tasks and responsibilities often compete for nurses' time. This book offers nurses useful, everyday information to apply to real-life …

Although Outcome Measurement has become an important tool in the evaluation of health promotion, patient education and other health services interventions, there remain problems in locating reliable measurements and scales. This book provides a compilation of more than 50 self-administered scales f…

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological cancer in the Western world, but comparatively little is known about its development. Epithelial ovarian carcinomas are thought to originate in the ovarian surface epithelium (OSE), i.e. the mesothelium covering the ovary, but experimental evidence fo…
These studies examined the effects of prostaglandin-F[sub 2a] (PGF[sub 2a]) on progesterone and 178-estradiol (estradiol) production, as well as DNA and PGF[sub 2a]-receptor (PGF[sub 2a]-R) mRNA levels, in the human granulosa-luteal cell (GLC). Additionally, the interactions of PGF[sub 2a] with hum…
The studies undertaken herewithin sought to characterize the pattern of regulation of the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRH-R) mRNA levels in the rat ovary. The demonstration of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) transcripts in steroidproducing and steroid-dependent tissues suggest…
There is increasing evidence to suggest that activin can function as an autocrine/paracrine regulator in various tissues, including the reproductive system. At the cellular level, activin acts via a family of activin receptor (ActR) subtypes which includes two type I (ActRI and ActRLB) and two type…
It is well established that LH action is mediated primarily by adenylate cyclase/cAMP. Conversely, the role of inositol phosphate/calcium in LH signalling has only recently been investigated. We examined the effects of gonadotrophins on intracellular calcium mobilisation in HEK293 cells transiently…
Superovulation causes detrimental effects, including embryonic loss and implantation failure. This study determined potential roles for insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) in uterine environment regulation and preimplantation development, in conjunction with the detrimental effects of superovulation…
The placenta is an important endocrine organ producing large amounts of steroid and protein hormones which are released into the maternal and fetal circulations. Moreover, it has a very high metabolic rate and consumes a significant proportion of the oxygen and glucose delivered to the uterus and i…
The gonadotropin - releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor is a plasma membrane associated receptor and a member of the GTP - binding protein coupled receptor family. The interaction of the ligand, GnRH, and the GnRH receptor is a critical event in the endocrine control of reproduction. This coupling sti…
In vitro fertilization (IVF) has been achieved in several mammalian species, including humans. Using the technique of IVF and embryo transfer, pregnancies can now be established in infertile women and thousands of live births have occurred. However, many of the embryos transferred to the uterus fai…
This thesis investigated the expression and regulation of cytochrome P450s, aromatase (P450arom) and cholesterol side chain cleavage (P450scc) enzyme mRNAs in human granulosa-luteal cells using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The two enzymes are instrumental in steroid hor…
In order to characterize and compare the pattern of inhibin production in the follicular phase between patients of the clomiphene citrate/human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) and Buserelin/hMG protocols in in-vitro fertilization, serum inhibin levels from 20 patients in each protocol were measured. …
