Activities
of the
Fertility Institute of the Mid-South



The first publication
of the Fertility Institute of the Mid-South in Memphis, Tennessee was Intra-Abdominal
Laser Surgery in 1986. The
publication division
is the Resurge Press. The name Resurge Press was chosen as to the main activities
in education and research were in reproductive surgery.
In 1992, a dioxin
exposed monkey colony at the Harlow
Primate Center was identified by the Endometriosis Association as a resource.
Fertility Institute of the Mid-South funding was used to support the
research effort in these animals. This
has resulted in several abstracts and papers on the toxic effect of dioxin
(2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin).
In 1994, a joint study with UT was undertaken
to investigate the possibility of an association of positive chlamydia
titers with ovarian cancer. The
study has resulted in three publications.
Other funding has been used to support
investigation at the University of Florida, Vanderbilt University, Dartmouth
University and Yale University.
