A simple scheme of investigation and treatment to restore fertility in amenorrhoeic women is described. Fifty-nine patients with amenorrhoea not due to primary ovarian failure were treated variously as appropriate, mainly with clomiphene (25), bromocriptine (15), or human menopausal gonadotrophins (12), and six by diet to increase their weight. All ovulated, and by the end of the study 55 (93%)...

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) has revolutionized the management of subfertility as many couples who previously had no hope of achieving a pregnancy are able to do so. Several factors contribute to the successful outcome of assisted conception. The period of waiting for the pregnancy test after assisted conception could be very crucial to the patient. One outcome of assisted conception ...

We report a case of polycystic ovary syndrome and prolonged infertility in which endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia was reversed with high dose progesterone therapy. Spontaneous conception after failure of assisted reproductive techniques highlights the role of endometrial receptivity.

Germ cell apoptosis was evaluated in 11 men suffering from nonobstructive azoospermia and enrolled in a spermatid conception programme. In six of these patients, round spermatids (Sa stage) were the most advanced spermatogenic cells recovered from testicular biopsy samples. This condition is referred to as complete spermiogenesis failure. In the remaining five men, a few late elongated spermati...

Philosophy Compass. 2018;e12494. https://doi.org/10.1111/phc3.12494 Abstract How should knowledge be analyzed? Compositionally, as having constituents like belief and justification, or as an atomic concept? In making arguments for or against these perspectives, epistemologists have begun to use experimental evidence from developmental psychology and developmental linguistics. If we were to conc...

The postcolonial has still remained on the margins of Game Studies, which has now incorporated at length, contemporary debates of race, gender and other areas that challenge the canon. It is difficult to believe, however, that postcolonial ideas do not influence the way in which videogames are perceived; the effect, it can be argued, is often subtle. For the millions of Indian gamers, it is a m...

458 of 600 questionnaires handed out to women aged 17 to 40 attending the surgery for contraceptive advice were completed, a take-up rate of 76%. The survey revealed a relatively high proportion of young IUD users (15% compared with national figures of approximately 5%). It also showed that the population used contraception reasonable effectively. The proportion of unplanned pregnancies (58%...

Gestational stress is believed to increase the risk of pregnancy failure and perinatal and adult morbidity and mortality in both the mother and her child or children. However, some contradictions might arise from methodological issues or even from differences in the philosophical grounds that guide the studies on gestational stress. Biased perspectives could lead us to use and/or design inadequ...

the present study seeks to investigate users’ perception and evaluation of the function of designed environments and highlights a deeper understanding of man-environment relationship. the study tries to answer the question: “is there any relationship between the physical features of environment and users’ perception and evaluation of the environment and their spatial behaviors?” such investigat...

Failure of first trimester pregnancy termination is an uncommon, although potentially serious complication of attempted therapeutic abortion. We report our experience in four patients with unsuspected congenital uterine anomalies in whom attempted pregnancy termination procedures failed to completely ablate the products of conception. When dilatation and curettage fails to produce embryonic tis...
