Gonadotrophin Club Minutes

Improving journal club presentations, or, I can present that paper in under 10 minutes.

ifteen years ago we sought a method for teaching residents how to make lean, pithy journal club presentations. Our aim was to help them distill an article down to its core while systematically reviewing its validity and telling a compelling story. Others have created successful journal clubs by explicitly linking the educational experience to questions raised in caring for patients (1). Brief a...

Disorders of gonadotrophin secretion.

In recent years, particularly since the advent ofradioimmunoassay, the regulation of pituitary gonadotrophin secretion has been extensively studied in man and in animals (Greep et al., 1976). I shall not comprehensively catalogue the different diseases and syndrome complexes associated with disordered gonadotrophin secretion. These are systematically covered in several textbooks and reviews (Lo...

Human chorionic gonadotrophin luteal support overcomes luteal phase inadequacy after gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist-induced ovulation in gonadotrophin-stimulated cycles.

Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa)-induced ovulation after gonadotrophin ovarian stimulation is used to prevent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and multiple pregnancy in polyfollicular cycles. However, one of the major problems to be resolved is corpus luteum function after follicular maturation and ovulation by mid-cycle GnRHa administration. The present report investigated the ...

Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone.

Urinary chorionic gonadotrophin determination.

Successful laboratory tests for early pregnancy utilize the endogenous production and excretion of chorionic gonadotrophin (CG). There is wide variation in sensitivity and specificity of various biological and commercially available immunochemical methods for determining urinary CC levels. Normal values for immunochemically reactive CC during the first trimester of pregnancy are given. Serial d...
