Background: To evaluate the outcomes of using in vitro fertilization (IVF)/ intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI cycle) techniques in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism women and comparing them to women with tubal factor infertility. Materials and Methods: Data from 81 hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) patients treated with IVF/ICSI in the period from early 2009 until the end of 2010 were analyze...

Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate artificial insemination techniques on reproductive performance in Ghezel ewes synchronized with CIDR during breeding season. Methods: All ewes were treated with controlled internal drug release device (CIDR) inserted into the vagina of the ewes for 14 days. All ewes were treated a single intramuscular (IM) dose of PMSG was injected. In thi...

Background: Animal and in vitro studies have shown that 25-OH vitamin D plays a significant role in different parts of body. Few data exist about the role of 25- OH vitamin D in reproduction. Insufficient levels during pregnancy are potentially associated with increased risk of preeclampsia, insulin resistance and gestational diabetes mellitus. Recently, few studies have assessed the prognostic...

Background: FIVCAT.NET is the registry of human assisted reproductive techniques (ART) in Catalunya to which all authorised centres are obliged to declare their activities. The Background of the present study is to describe the data on effectiveness of the ART in Catalunya over the period 2001-2005 and to compare our findings with other similar registries. Materials and Methods: The data were o...

Background: Assisted reproductive techniques (ART) are used with increasing frequency worldwide. The present research was conducted to determine the effects of ART on hearing defects and ear abnormalities. Materials and Methods: In a descriptive, cross-sectional, non-randomized study, the status of hearing and ear abnormalities was assessed in 300 newborns conceived by ART at Royan Institute, T...

Objective Despite numerous studies indicating an imperative role for reproduction, however, the role of Vitamin D supplementation on outcomes of assisted reproductive techniques remains controversial. Therefore, the objective of this clinical trial was to evaluate the effect of consumption of Vitamin D supplementation 6 weeks prior to ICSI on fertility indexes. MaterialsAndMethods The present s...
