Background: The transition to parenthood is a period of intra- and interpersonal changes and may bring up unexpected problems. The first child's birth has a significant effect on marital relations because the relations change from dyadic to triadic. In general, marital relationships seem to be especially vulnerable during the transition to parenthood, and several studies have revealed a de...

Background: A common wish which is found in almost all humans is desire for having a child. Infertility depression is considered as life and identity crises. The intertwined network of physical, mental, and social factors affect the infertile person. The elements, relationship and activities of this complex network determine the way the person responds to the problem of infertility. Beside all ...

Targeting the inner nuclear membrane roteins destined for the inner nuclear membrane (INM) start out in the peripheral ER. Diffusion from the ER will get them to the contiguous outer nuclear membrane (ONM), but the next step could involve either vesicular transport, short-lived fusions between INM and ONM, or movement along the lipid bilayers surrounding nuclear pores. On page 1051, Ohba et al....

Ovarian Hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS) is one of the most serious and life threatening complication of ovulation induction and is a major concern and challenge for physicians involved in assisted reproductive technologies (ART). The main complication of OHSS is intravascular fluid and protein out flow into third space. Human chronic gonadotropin (hCG) increases vascular permeability by indir...

The nuclear envelope (NE) is a highly dynamic structure consisting of two concentric membranes underlaid by the nuclear lamina, a network of intermediate filaments called A/Cand B-type lamins (reviewed by Collas and Courvalin, 2000; Wilson, 2000). The outer nuclear membrane (ONM) is in direct continuity with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and shares biochemical and functional properties with th...

The nucleus of eukaryotic cells is bounded by a double membrane system perforated by the nuclear pores, which provide an aqueous channel for bidirectional transport of ions and molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm (Smith and Raikhel, 1999). The presence of these large pores, which have an average open diameter of approximately 10 nm, has tended to divert attention from the possible i...
