2011 Plenary Session: Prospects for Stem Cell-Based Medicine

Stem cell biology is a rapidly changing area of basic science that has much promise for medical care. Yet, clinical applications remain very limited. An update on the state of the field and directions of current research is the substance of this presentation.

2011 Plenary Session: Reproductive Endocrinology in the 20th Century: Pioneers in Innovation

In order to better understand reproductive endocrinology and infertility in the 21st century, it is important to have an in-depth understanding of what occurred prior to this time period. By examining the discoveries of the 20th century, we can better comprehend the realities of the 21st century. It is important for people to have a perspective on the growth of various ideas. For example, estrogen was an unknown compound 100 years ago, yet it has become critical to everyday practice. Understanding the past allows us to be the innovators of the future. 

2011 Plenary Session: SRS Lecture - The Role of Reproductive Surgery in the ART Era

Due to the availability of assisted reproductive technologies (ART), the need for reproductive surgery as a primary treatment for infertility has declined. However, it has an important role in improving the success rate of ART treatment and, recently, in fertility preservation. Reports of new indications and techniques are published continuously. Some warrant practice pattern changes and the need to educate practitioners not only to promote fertility, but also to preserve fertility and reproductive function of young women undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment.

2011 Plenary Session: SSR Exchange Lecture - In Vivo Analysis of Progesterone Receptor Signaling in the Endometrium

This session will detail the role of the progesterone receptor in the regulation of endometrial function. This will be done by demonstrating how mouse models can be used to dissect the signaling pathways in the uterus and define the interaction of the cellular compartments in the regulation of uterine function during pregnancy and in diseased states.

2011: Challenge to Turn Dreams into Discoveries

Welcome to ASRM’s 2011 Annual Meeting in Orlando, a city known the world around for its ability to inspire children and families to dream.  It’s an exciting time to be here, and I am looking forward to talking about how we, in the reproductive medicine field, can realize our scientific dreams.

2011: Herbert H. Thomas Lecture: Emerging Opportunities in Oncofertility Practice and Research

Fertility preservation options for young people with cancer exist and practice guidelines have been published. Recent surveys of practitioners indicate a gap in knowledge about the best option based on cancer types and treatments.

2011: President's Guest Lecture: Future Directions in Reproductive Research

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) is the principal NIH institute supporting studies on population research including reproductive biology and medicine. In 2010, NICHD Director Dr. Alan Guttmacher initiated a scientific visioning process, in collaboration with the Institute’s external partners, to identify key scientific opportunities of the next decade across the Institute’s mission. This plenary session will acquaint scientists and practicing physicians with the visioning process and highlight selected scientific opportunities relevant to reproductive research that emerged in the process.

2011: Welcome to the New Electronic Fertility and Sterility

Welcome to the New Electronic Fertility and Sterility. Interview with Video and New Media Editor Steven Palter, MD and Executive Editors Craig Niederberger, MD and Antonio Pellicer, MD about the digital future of the journal and the future of medical publishing.

A Good Man -Gregory Pincus and the Development of Oral Contraception

Most clinicians are unaware of the history of oral contraception. The story of the birth control pill provides an appreciation for the enormous personal and social impact of this achievement, and an understanding of the early efforts of hormonal contraceptive research in the political and social climate of the time.

Dr. Howard Jones, Jr. Speaks About IVF in the 21st Century

ASRM would like to honor Howard W. Jones, Jr., M.D., a pioneer of assisted reproductive medicine.  Dr. Jones and his wife, Georgeanna Seegar Jones, M.D., were the first to perform a successful in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure in the United States.  This talk was recorded at his Centennial Birthday Celebration where he spoke about the continuation of Assisted Reproductive Technology advancement in the 21st century.
