Objectives: There are various ovarian stimulation protocols for in vitro fertilization (IVF). Particularly for Poly-cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) patients an optimized protocol of pituitary FSH and LH down regulating gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) medication without complications is still a challenge. Methods: We retrospectively compared the primary endpoint of an ultra-long an...

Background: The objective of this study is to establish importance of anti-FSH antibodies in IVF outcome. Materials and Methods: This research was designed based on evaluation of several articles from 2000 till 2012 about anti-FSH antibodies in IVF outcome. Results: Serum concentrations of anti-FSH IgG and IgA were linearly associated with poorer ovarian stimulation outcome. For example 1.0 AU ...

Considering the importance of this stage and the incidence of treatment failures, much effort has been made to anticipate in some way the responses of ovary to different protocols of ovulation stimulation. Some of the authentic procedure in determination of ovary response to ovulation stimulat...

The reports on how to stimulate the ovaries for oocyte retrieval in good prognosis patients are contradictory and often favor one type of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH). For this reason, we retrospectively analyzed data from IVF/ICSI cycles carried out at our IVF Unit in good prognosis patients (aged <38 years, first and second attempts of IVF/ICSI, more than 3 oocytes retrieved) to ...

  Abstract   Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease occuring after middle age. Because of the high mobility of the neck, OA is common in the cervical spine. The purpose of this study was to determine and compare the effects of intermittent traction on patients with mild and moderate cervical OA. Therefore, 32 patients with cervical OA were recruited.   Methods: Aclinic...

BACKGROUND There are still some patients who show poor response to ovarian stimulation prior to evidence of normal ovarian reserve in vitro fertilization. However, there are few studies about how to treat the unexpectedly ovarian poor responder in vitro fertilization. The main aim of this study evaluate the effect of prolonging administration follicle-stimulating hormone in woman with the unexp...

abstract physical injuries during taekwondo competitions often happen due to physical contacts during fighting; therefore, a training protocol was designed in line with the physiological stress of a real competition according to la, hr and rpe changes so that the athletes could perform the techniques with a pad instead of a real opponent. for this purpose, 12 professional taekwondo players from...
