The problem of infertility and the methods of resolving..
Semyakina, Anastasiya ; Peterka, Miroslav (advisor) ; Novotná, Božena (referee)
4 Abstract This diploma thesis is concerned with modern methods of treatment for infertility. It examines to what extent and in what cases are these methods used and what risk does it pose for a woman's and a child's health. Paticular emphasis is placed on the methods of assisted reproductive technology as the most used, effective and the most invasive. Nowadays 10-15% of couples face the problem of infertility. In most of the cases this problem can be solved with the help of hormonal therapy, surgery or assisted reproductive technology. The most common complication of ART (assisted reproductive technology) is ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome which leads to higher frequency of miscarriages and can be fatal for a woman. Since more that one embryo is usually transferred in ART children conceived with the help of this method can face different problems related to multiple pregnancy such as higher risk of preterm birth, higher risk of congenital disorder or intrauterine growth retardation. Key words: ART, assisted reproductive technology, infertility, congenital disorder, multiple pregnancy

Assisted reproduction - influence on fertility and selected characteristics of newborns in Czechia
Martínková, Kateřina ; Šťastná, Anna (advisor) ; Kocourková, Jiřina (referee)
Assisted reproduction - influence on fertility and selected characteristics of newborns in Czechia Abstract The use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) has become very widespread in recent years, even in Czechia. The aim of this paper is to identify ART's influence on fertility rates and selected characteristics of newborns, especially in the context of demographics in Czechia. The first part of the thesis focuses on describing the process of fertility postponement and the related use of various ART methods. The second part deals with analyzing fertility level and timing and selected characteristics of newborns with emphasis on the comparison of children according to the method of conception. A data set is used for analysis, which was created by linking data on ART cycles from the National Register of Assisted Reproduction with data of children born collected by the Czech Statistical Office. A detailed analysis shows that the spread of assisted reproduction has a significant impact on the overall demographic situation in Czechia, especially in the ability of older women to realize their fertility. This analysis also suggests some differences between infants born via ART versus infants born without the use of ART in terms of birth outcomes. Binary logistic regression also confirms a certain effect of...

Methods of assisted reproductive technology and their use in selected European countries
Dušková, Daniela ; Burcin, Boris (advisor) ; Kalibová, Květa (referee)
Methods of assisted reproductive technology and their use in selected European countries Abstract The objective of the presented study is to introduce methods of assisted reproductive technology (ART) and to evaluate the trends of their use in selected European countries between 2006 and 2012. The first part of the study is devoted to the theoretical introduction to the methods of assisted reproductive technology, factors influencing the effectiveness of the cycles ART and to give a comprehensive overview of law governing the conditions and availability of assisted reproductive technology. The second, analytical part of the study deals with the number of applied ART cycles, the number of embryos transferred and the proportion of live births after ART. Furthermore, the change of the age structure of women undergoing ART and the development of multiple births after ART. These selected indicators are first evaluated across the European region, using data from the reporting states of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE). Finally, the results are compared to each of the five selected countries, specifically the Czech Republic, Denmark, Italy, Slovenia and the United Kingdom. A comparison of the results points to the increasing use of ART, whose success is however limited by the...
