Chondrodysplasias are rare occurrence. We present a case of short-limbed chondrodyplasia diagnosed in a 22 week fetus of a 28 year old. She was para 4(+0) with two children alive. She had similar occurrences in her last two pregnancies. The index pregnancy and the last two eventful pregnancies were preceded with ingestion of trado-herbal drug to treat subfertility.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Men with terminal renal failure are often infertile. Anti-müllerian hormone (AMH), a marker of Sertoli cell function, is decreased among men with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Recently, a microRNA, miR-155, has been shown to be a potential marker for subfertility. We studied miR-155 and semen parameters in patients with CKD who were not yet on dialysis. We also aimed to study po...

BACKGROUND Among women with unexplained infertility, 28% to 55% of patients with galactorrhea are normoprolactinemic. Bromocriptine, a common treatment for infertile women with hyperprolactinemia, has been used in the treatment of unexplained subfertility in women with galactorrhea and normal prolactin; however, its effectiveness and safety profile have never been determined. OBJECTIVE The ai...

OBJECTIVES This study was undertaken to assess the prevalence of IgG antibody to Chlamydia trachomatis in subfertile patients at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital and to determine associated factors between this and infertility. STUDY DESIGN This case controlled study was conducted among 100 women presenting for infertility consultation at the University of Port Harcourt Teach...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES It has been suggested that subfertility and testicular cancer share genetic and environmental risk factors. We studied both subfertility and the strongest known testicular cancer susceptibility gene, the c-KIT ligand (KITLG), whose pathway is involved in spermatogenesis. METHODS The EPSAM case-control study is comprised of testicular cancer patients from the Province of ...

BACKGROUND The primary objective of this study was to investigate whether subfertility explains poor perinatal outcome after assisted conception. A secondary objective was to test the hypothesis that ovarian hyperstimulation rather than the IVF procedure may influence the perinatal outcome. METHODS Using data from a Dutch population-based historical cohort of women treated for subfertility, w...

Artificial insemination (AI) subfertility is an indication of failure of AI with frozen-thawed sperm classified as normal by conventional semen examination. Recently, 8 AI-subfertile Japanese Black cattle (S1-S8) were identified using the routine AI test or in vivo fertilization test, which included AI with frozen-thawed sperm of superovulated females and subsequent non-surgical recovery of pre...
