Cancer therapies are known to alter the reproductive potential in cancer patients. Due to improved survival rates in cancer patients of reproductive age, considerations of the long-term effects of cancer therapy have become more significant. Oncofertility is a new discipline in medicine that deals with maintaining the reproductive potential of cancer patients while they are receiving gonadotoxi...

In the last few decades a negative association between the level of milk production and fertility has been observed. Currently, the most utilized method of measuring male fertility employed by the livestock industry is related to the Non-Return Rate (NRR). Through differential proteome analysis, this study evaluated changes in the expression of the protein profile of spermatozoa collected from ...

The aim of this study was to assess how effectively the Rovumeter, designed for the volumetric self-sampling of cervicovaginal fluid (CVF), can be used to locate the minimum period of potential fertility (PPF) during ovulatory cycles. A multicentre, prospective study was undertaken of volunteers (attending natural family planning clinics) over three consecutive, apparently normal, menstrual cyc...
