Salpingectomy is largely used in case of hydrosalpinx in infertile women scheduled for assisted reproductive technologies (ART), whereas there is no consensus on its role in absence of hydrosalpinx. The current is a systematic literature review to collate all available evidence regarding salpingectomy as fertility enhancement procedure before ART in infertile patients. Our primary endpoint was ...

background: ovarian cancer is the most fatal tumor of female's reproductive system, and several genetics and environmental factors are involved in its development. various studies have already identified suitable biomarkers to facilitate the early detection, prognosis evaluation, and the assessment of treatment response. however, the aim of this review was to investigate the role of long n...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of adding low-dose hcg (human chorionic gonadotropin), as an lh active supplement, to a gnrh antagonist protocol in patients undergoing assisted reproduction techniques. in this parallel-group randomized clinical trial, 137 infertile female outpatients aged 20 - 39 years were randomized into two groups: hcg group and non-hcg group. all patients...

BACKGROUND The main objective of individualization of treatment in IVF is to offer every single woman the best treatment tailored to her own unique characteristics, thus maximizing the chances of pregnancy and eliminating the iatrogenic and avoidable risks resulting from ovarian stimulation. Personalization of treatment in IVF should be based on the prediction of ovarian response for every indi...

introduction: it is believed that locus coeruleus (lc) influences the sensory information processing. however, its role in cortical surround inhibitory mechanism is not understood. in this experiment, using controlled mechanical displacement of whiskers we investigated the effect of phasic electrical stimulation of lc on response of layer v barrel cortical neurons in anesthetized rat. methods: ...

the effect of repetitive electrical field stimulation and the response of the guinea-pig and rat ileal longitudinal muscle to single pulse stimulations was examined. single pulse field stimulation produced twitch contraction which was inhibited by repetitive field stimulation (10 hz, 40v, 0.5 msec for 5 m). this inhibition was largely, though never completely, reversed by naloxone. contractions...

The objective of this study was to determine the predictive value of the number of follicles seen by transvaginal ultrasound before gonadotrophin stimulation on the ovarian responsiveness of 166 infertile women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. The main variables were patient age, ovarian volume and number of ovarian follicles measuring 2-5 mm on transvaginal ultrasound before ...

objective: to evaluate the impact of luteal phase support with vaginal progesterone on pregnancy rates in the intrauterine insemination (iui) cycles, stimulated with clomiphene citrate and human menopausal gonadotropin (hmg), in sub fertile couples. materials and methods: this prospective, randomized, double blind study was performed in a tertiary infertility center from march 2011 to january 2...

background: research supports that in vitro fertilization causes anxiety and that anxiety can continue into the resulting pregnancy. most women who have ivf will have a less invasive treatment for infertility prior to ivf; however, it is unclear if specific less invasive treatment cycles impact anxiety that is experienced in the pregnancy resulting from ivf. methods: a prospective study was con...
