Download or read book The Genetics and Biology of Sex Determination written by Derek J. Chadwick and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2002-04-26 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature employs a wide variety of sex determining mechanisms and it is only comparatively recently that the tools have become available for these to be explored at the cellular and molecular levels. A major landmark was the discovery in 1990 of the SRY gene and the subsequent demonstration of its key role in triggering male sex determination in transgenic mice. This book reviews and discusses our current understanding of the molecular genetic pathways of sex determination, with special emphasis on vertebrates. It features comparisons with other modes of sex determination, consideration of the biology of sexual development and discussion of the evolution of sex-determining mechanisms. By bringing together an international and interdisciplinary group of experts who study many different aspects of the problem, the book highlights much new and exciting work in this area and serves to identify and stimulate promising new research directions.
Download or read book Envisioning African Intersex written by Amanda Lock Swarr and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-30 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1600s, travelers, scientists, and doctors have claimed that “hermaphroditism” and intersex are disproportionately common among black South Africans. In Envisioning African Intersex Amanda Lock Swarr debunks this claim by interrogating contemporary intersex medicine and demonstrating its indivisibility from colonial ideologies and scientific racism. Tracing the history of racialized research that underpins medical and scientific premises of gendered bodies, Swarr analyzes decolonial actions by intersex South Africans from the 1990s to the present, centering the work of organizers such as Sally Gross, the first openly intersex activist in Africa and a global pioneer of intersex legislation. Swarr also explores African social media activism that advocates for intersex justice and challenges the mistreatment of South African Olympian Caster Semenya. Throughout, Swarr shows how activists displace doctors’ impositions to fashion self-representation. By unseating colonial visions of gender, intersex South Africans are actively disrupting medical violence, decolonizing gender binaries, and inciting policy changes. All author royalties from Envisioning African Intersex will be donated to Intersex South Africa.

Download or read book Bioregulators of Reproduction written by David Jagiello and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bioregulators of Reproduction focuses on the biological regulators of reproductive processes. Discussions are grouped based on sex differentiation and determination, germ cell reproduction, gonadotropins, nonsteroidal gonadal hormones, in vitro fertilization, and post-fertilization. This text is organized into six sections and comprised of 31 chapters, beginning with a discussion on the most important regulatory mechanisms underlying reproduction. The reader is then methodically introduced to the role of the H-Y antigen in primary sex determination, H-Y antigenic determinants of human testis-organizing protein, and how H-Y antibodies confuse antigenic complexes with unaltered self or allo-MHC antigens. The cellular mechanisms of sexual differentiation of the brain, meiosis in female mammals, and interspecies comparisons in molecular reproductive biology are also considered. Other chapters explore the role of haplodins in the ovarian and extraovarian control of meiosis; the link between nucleoprotein transitions and chromatin changes during rat spermatogenesis; and gonadotropin secretion in primates. This book will be of interest to students and scientists in fields ranging from biology and neuroendocrinology to genetics, biochemistry, biophysics, pathology, and zoology.

Download or read book Blaustein s Pathology of the Female Genital Tract written by Robert J. Kurman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 980 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third edition of the widely acclaimed Blaustein's Pathology of the Female Genital Tract. The fully illustrated work is an authoritative, comprehensive, and up-to-date textbook and standard reference source in gynecologic and obstetric pathology. It is aimed at practicing pathologists, obstetricians and gynecologists, and residents in these specialties. The book emphasizes the correlation between clinical and pathologic features of female genital tract disease by examining the pathophysiology of individual organ systems. New adjunctive techniques such as immunohistochemistry and molecular DNA analysis are introduced when useful, for example, in the study of premalignant and malignant tumors of cervix and vulva. Blaustein's Pathology of the Female Genital Tract discusses the anatomy, histology and pathology of uterine corpus and ovary, and describes morphologic changes in relation to serum hormone and tissue receptor concentrations; endometrial hyperplasia, metaplasia, and carcinoma; and neoplasia of vulva, vagina, and cervix in connection with human papillomavirus. This book also explores such topics as tract embryology, disorders of normal sexual development, diseases of the placenta, and gestational trophoblastic disease.
Download or read book Clinical Neuroendocrinology written by G. M. Besser and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical Neuroendocrinology, Volume II discusses neuroendocrine science and its application to the analysis of human physiology and behavior. This book stresses the importance of the interrelationships between central and peripheral signals, neurotransmitters and neuromodulators, and target glands and peripheral tissues to ensure coordination of somatic and behavioral development and function. The ""centralist"" concepts of the importance of brain hormones are revised in this text, emphasizing that neurohumoral factors isolated from brain tissues, and initially considered to be primarily involved in the central nervous system regulation of the endocrine system, also exist outside the brain and spinal cord. This volume is valuable to neuroendocrinologists, but is also a good source for those involved in basic and clinical research and patient management.

Download or read book Pediatric Andrology written by S.J. Kogan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject matter in this volume was derived from papers presented at the Pediatric Andrology session of the 1st Pan American Congress of Andrology held in Caracas, Venezuela in February 1979, as well as from selected additional manuscripts of interest in this field. Prior to this session, identification of a distinct discipline and specialty devoted to pediatric andrology had not occurred, nor had it been conceptualized. Pediatric andrology encompasses many different areas: disorders of sexual development, structural disease of the genital organs, normal and abnormal puberty, undescended testes, genital tumors, gonadal function and its relationship to growth, virilization, fertility and gender identity all represent areas of specific interest, to name but a few. Andrology itself is a unique field, bringing together clinicians and basic scientists with diverse back grounds. It should be noted that between one-half and three-quarters of the clinicians contributing to this issue conduct basic research as well. It has been this unique blend of basic research and clinical medicine which has done much to unravel many of these problems characteristic of this field.
