ESHRE Campus workshop Ovarian reserve New insights for clinical management Modena Italy 18 & 19 April 2008
Course description In Reproductive Medicine there are several topics that impact greatly on patients and are of great concern for clinicians and scientists alike. Ovarian reserve and ovarian response to gonadotropin stimulation continue to be pressing examples. The main topics of the course will be the following: Definition of ovarian reserve, the clinical assessment of ovarian reserve, the role of Anti-Mullerian Hormone in reproductive medicine, the clinical relevance of ovarian reserve assessment, and therapeutic options for women with reduced ovarian reserve. The SIG Reproductive Endocrinology is offering a two-day course aimed at clinicians and researchers with an interest in the ovarian gonadal function and its manipulation. The course will attempt to analyse the current diagnostic possibilities in the evaluation of ovarian reserve. The course will also describe the current status of therapeutical approach to women with diminished ovarian reserve. Course objectives At the conclusion of this course, the participants should be able to: understand the physiology of ovarian function understand the factors influencing the ovarian reserve understand the role of AMH in regulating folliculogenesis and its diagnostic utility apply the diagnostic procedure in the evaluation of ovarian reserve know the different therapeutical approaches to women with reduced ovarian reserve Target audience Gynaecologists, reproductive endocrinologists, biologists and all those with interest in reproductive medicine

General Information Venue Aula Magna Centro Servizi Facoltà di Medicina e Chirurgia Policlinico di Modena Via del Pozzo, 71 41100 Modena Italy Modena Modena is located in Emilia-Romagna, a north-central region of Italy stretching over a fertile plane and flanking the Apennine Mountains. With its 200,000 inhabitants, it is both tranquil and lively, a place where modernity and tradition meet and engage comfortably with one another. You can explore Modena by having a passeggiata under the porticos overarching its sidewalks. The cobblestone streets of the historic center and the buildings amber shades give you the opportunity to relive the medieval town still filled by the echoes of the court of the Estense family. Modena is home to the twelfth-century Romanesque Cathedral declared by Unesco to be among the five hundred masterpieces of the world; the impressive rooms of the municipal palace;
the imposing Palazzo Ducale; the collective beauty of numerous churches. The city s artistic and historic treasures coexist in harmony with bookstores, boutiques where artists and artisans sell their goods, traditional markets, bars where you can sit and drink an aperitivo, as well as Modena s renowned restaurants and the less formal trattorias. Finally, its central geographic location allows you to reach the major cities as well as the smaller, lesser-known towns of Italy quite easily. Modena is located in quite a strategic position: it is very close and well connected with some well known cities like Milan, Venice, Verona, Florence, Bologna and other cities, maybe not as well know, but never the less beautiful and full of interesting things to see. Furthermore, it is possible to make beautiful excursions to the Apennine, the charming mountains on the border of Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany, or easily reach the Adriatic Sea in the east (Rimini, Riccione etc, famous for the most entertaining night life of Italy) or the Ligurian Sea and the Tyrrhenian Sea in the west (characterized by beautiful villages such as Cinque Terre or great beaches like the one of Versilia).
