This includes studies of migration, mortality and health, residential distribution, reproduction, sexual health, population aging, labor force and retirement, household and family structure, intergenerational relations, and biodemography in the U.S. and other countries. It also includes the development and validation of methodologies for population research, including estimation and projection, formal and mathematical demography, modeling and simulation, qualitative and ethnographic methods, and measurement, design, and statistical analysis. Studies of gender, race and ethnicity as they relate to population processes are included. Specific areas covered by SSPS:
  • Migration, emigration and immigration, including movement of people within and across national boundaries; social, cultural, economic, behavioral, and health factors and processes associated with population movement; processes related to migration [e.g., acculturation, adaptation]; interstate, intercity, local migration and residential distribution; refugee movements.

$2.5 Million NIH Grant for Study of Social Issues Surrounding Infertility
Lincoln, Neb., March 23, 2004 Nearly a third of American women will experience fertility problems during their reproductive years. Although medical science has made advances in treatment, a variety of social and psychological questions have remained unanswered. For instance, why do only about half of infertile couples seek treatment? A University of Nebraska-Lincoln social demographer is leading an interdisciplinary team of researchers who are studying this and related questions. Lynn White, professor of sociology, and her team will use a $2,559,414 grant from the National Institutes of Health for a long-term study titled "Pathways to treatments for infertility and the outcomes of infertility." The grant, issued by NIH's National Institute of Child Health and Human Development-Social and Behavioral Branch, funds a five-year study. The research team includes social scientists from five institutions and three disciplines. In addition to White, the team includes Julia McQuillan, assistant professor of sociology at UNL; Naomi Lacy, assistant professor in the research division of the University of Nebraska Medical Center's Department of Family Medicine; David Johnson, professor of sociology and human development and family studies, and Laurie Scheuble, senior lecturer in sociology, both at Penn State University; Arthur Greil, a sociologist from Alfred University in New York; and Mary Casey Jacob, a psychologist, who counsels infertile couples at University of Connecticut Health Center. Johnson formerly was a sociologist at UNL and Scheuble, his wife, was on the faculty at Doane College.

EXTEND FERTILITY™ AND TEXAS FERTILITY CENTER HELP WOMEN SLOW THE TICKING OF THE BIOLOGICAL CLOCK AUSTIN, TX, July 14, 2004 - Extend Fertility™, a key provider of fertility preservation technologies and services, and Texas Fertility Center announced a unique, exclusive partnership to provide egg freezing services to women in Texas. The service will allow women to proactively plan for the future - just as they plan for personal and professional development - by freezing and storing their young, healthy eggs for the time when they are ready to start their families. Texas Fertility Center will be the first center in Texas to offer the Extend Fertility egg-freezing service to both fertile and medical necessity patients. Today, approximately one out of every three women in her thirties has never been married. This represents a significant change from 1970, when only one in ten remained single. This dramatic shift in social demographics has resulted in a growing anxiety about the issue and timing of motherhood. Having the option to proactively plan for future motherhood is expected to appeal to a broad range of women – from cancer patients facing chemotherapy and women facing family histories of pre-mature ovarian failure, to single, professional women and couples starting their families later in life.

And Baby Makes Three: When Couples Experience Secondary Infertility As a child, Cheryl Crisp always imagined that she would have four children someday. As part of a happy family with three other siblings, she was the child who most loved to play with baby dolls and was singled out to inherit an antique doll from her grandmother. Never once did she picture herself as childless or question the possibility that she might have trouble conceiving. At age 31, now married to her husband, John, Cheryl learned the pain of infertility when John experienced problems with his sperm count. Through in vitro fertilization at Saint Barnabas Medical Center, they were overjoyed to became the proud parents of daughter, Abigail, three years later. When Abigail was a year old, the couple decided to undergo in vitro fertilization again, but to their dismay, discovered that Cheryl, now age 36, had begun early menopause and could not produce eggs. They were now experiencing a condition known as secondary infertility, the inability to conceive after having a child.

Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. Infertility, defined as an inability to conceive after one year of unprotected intercourse, affects an estimated 15 percent of couples in the United States.[1] Several different tests are routinely conducted during an infertility evaluation, including a semen analysis, hysterosalpingography, endometrial biopsy and postcoital test. Hysterosalpingography has several indications (Table 1), including evaluation of the infertile woman. Specifically, this radiologic procedure is helpful in evaluating the anatomy of the uterus and fallopian tubes. The functionality of these reproductive organs is inferred from the hysterosalpingogram. Hysterosalpingography is the only radiologic procedure performed in the routine evaluation of the infertile woman. This review discusses the instruments, techniques and complications of hysterosalpingography and the use of selective salpingography as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool.

Serdar E. Bulun is an internationally recognized researcher in the field of estrogen biosynthesis in endometriosis and breast cancer. Basic data from his laboratory led to the introduction of aromatase inhibitors in the treatment of endometriosis. Another focus in Dr. Bulun's laboratory is epithelial stromal interactions in adipocyte tissue and breast carcinomas. In particular the relationship between adipocyte differentiation and aromatase expression in adipose tissue are studied.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: It's Not Just Infertility
MELISSA H. HUNTER, M.D., and JAMES J. STERRETT, PHARM.D.
Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina
A patient information handout on polycystic ovary syndrome, written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 1090. P olycystic ovary syndrome, one of the most common endocrine disorders, affects approximately 6 percent of women of reproductive age. The syndrome is the most frequent cause of anovulatory infertility, with its underlying etiology unknown. The classic description of the syndrome, which includes clinical findings of amenorrhea, hirsutism and bilaterally enlarged ovaries, is representative of more advanced cases. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a heterogeneous syndrome. Although the underlying defect remains unknown, there is growing consensus that key features include insulin resistance, androgen excess and abnormal gonadotropin secretion. Polycystic ovary syndrome is now recognized as a heterogeneous syndrome. Affected women often have signs and symptoms of elevated androgen levels, menstrual irregularity and amenorrhea, without a well-defined cause of androgen excess.
