English term or phrase: flushing studies
For example, he claims "large numbers of abnormalities occur," and that " at least two-thirds of the products of oocyte and sperm fusion are in some way defective." Claims of this sort come from small numbers in flushing studies, or spontaneous abortion.

フラッシュ/フラッシング
Explanation:
Looking over the context, I wonder if this pertains to fertility, etc. I found some references to "oviduct flushing" in English, and if this is the flushing discussed here, then perhaps (卵管の)フラッシュ/フラッシング is suitable, because it is used in the following reference. Let me know what you think.

Another instance of 卵管フラッシング can be found on this page: http://www.j-tokkyo.com/2002/C12N/JP2002-291471.shtml. Here it seems to be used as a collection method.

agree  dosanko: I agree with the context. I think フラッシング (with the -ing) is more likely to be used in most cases.
