Cambridge Guide to Infertility Management and Assisted Reproduction
Cambridge University Press (Verlag)
978-0-521-01071-9 (ISBN)
This well-illustrated publication provides concise yet comprehensive practical information on the modern-day approach to the diagnosis and treatment of infertility. It starts from basic principles of reproductive physiology, before moving on to the medical causes of infertility, and then describes and explains the full armory of techniques from IVF to ICSI and even newer technologies used to treat infertility in all its manifestations. The aim throughout is to explain issues clearly, simply and directly in such a way that will be understood by doctors, scientists and nurses alike. By combining basic science and medical aspects, along with 'how it is done' descriptions of techniques and medical interventions, this book offers an unsurpassed introductory account of this fast moving area and is highly suitable for the full range of personnel involved in looking after the infertile patient, including trainees in medicine and nursing, clinical embryologists, andrologists, ultrasonographers and counsellors.
After qualifying in medicine, Dr Godwin Meniru has specialised and worked extensively in the area of reproductive medicine, including studies for Master of Medical Sciences degree in Assisted Reproduction Technology at Nottingham University, followed by Fellowship in Reproductive Medicine at the London Gynaecology and Fertility Centre in London. Subsequent training and practice was undertaken in Brunei, and more recently at the Aultman Hospital in Canton, Ohio, where he is presently based. He is also known as the principal author of A Handbook of Intrauterine Insemination published by Cambridge University Press in 1997 (ISBN 0521 58676 3)
