Preservation of Human Oocytes: From Cryobiology Science to Clinical Applications

Oocyte cryopreservation entails important potential advantages for human
IVF, offering a less ethically disputable alternative to embryo cryopreservation,
simplifying and making safer oocyte donation, and giving an opportunity for
fertility preservation to women at risk of premature ovarian failure as an effect
of genetic factors or chemo- or radiotherapies. Oocyte cryopreservation could
also meet the expectations of women wishing to preserve their fertility for
social reasons. In the last few years, advances in cryopreservation
methodologies have dramatically improved the efficiency of oocyte
cryopreservation, leading to the birth of over a thousand babies and
challenging the supremacy of embryo cryopreservation as the preferred
form of fertility preservation. This text has been conceived with the aim of offering a comprehensive view of the state of the art of oocyte cryopreservation. It covers fundamental concepts of low temperature storage (controlled rate slow cooling and
vitrification), aspects of oocyte physiology relevant to the process of
cryopreservation, essential biological and clinical evidence, and ethical
implications of oocyte cryopreservation, thereby providing a complete
overview of progress in this strategy in assisted reproduction.

Oxford Handbook of Genetic Counseling
Genetic counseling is one of the fastest growing fields across clinical care, medical research, and health-related industries. This growth is driven by advancements in genetic knowledge, the expansion of genetic tests and sequencing tools, industry demands for new testing modalities, and a public interest in direct-to-consumer genetic testing. <p/>As the field continues to expand and diversify, <em>The Oxford Handbook of Genetic Counseling</em> is the most comprehensive and authoritative resource designed to meet the demands of a growing workforce. The volume contains thirty-six chapters that cover historic developments, application in clinical practice, research and industry, and genetic and genomic testing. The book also discusses ethical and social issues and provides an outlook on the future of the field. <p/>Bringing together an interdisciplinary team that includes genetic counselors, clinical geneticists, medical researchers, bioethicists, legal and policy experts, and other healthcare professionals, this volume is an invaluable resource for professionals in the field. It appeals to genetic counselors, genetic counseling students, teachers, scholars, and bioethicists. Given its scope and diversity of topics, it is also an important resource for clinical faculty, health researchers, and healthcare providers who are increasingly encountering genetics and genomics in their respective fields.
