The Physiology of Reproduction

Blandau, Richard J.·1988·JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association

Abstract

This monumental two-volume set is a continuation of the three editions ofSex and Internal Secretions, the first being published in 1932. This work, containing 2633 pages and prepared by 99 leading authorities who provided more than 25 000 references, is destined to become the standard reference in reproductive physiology, endocrinology, and reproductive behavior. Specialization in research has reached a point where an authoritative discourse requires a highly selected group effort. In reviewing the list of contributors, we find many of the names of those who have participated in the spectacular pace of progress in this field during the past few decades. Volume 1 begins with detailed accounts of the male and female gametes, including sex determination, spermatozoa and ova and their transport to the site of fertilization, embryogenesis, implantation, and placentation. This is followed by a detailed presentation of the 20th-century research on the male and female gonads, including

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
