in order to evaluate the effects of short course administration of dexamethasone (dex) combined with clomiphene citrate (cc) in cc-resistant patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (pcas) and normal dheas, a prospective, double blind, placebo controlled, randomized study was undertaken at referral university hospitals, two-hundred and thirty women with pcos and normal dheas who failed to ovulat...

Purpose To evaluate the outcomes of cervical cerclage (CC) in twin pregnancies. Methods Retrospective analysis of twin pregnancies undergoing CC between January 2001 and December 2009 at our Institution. CC was offered in case of a cervical length measurement B20 mm (ultrasound-indicated CC) or in case of cervical dilatation with membranes at or beyond the external cervical os (physical examina...

INTRODUCTION Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the main cause of anovulatory infertility. Various combination of drugs have been tried to induce ovulation in PCOS patients with varied result. So, this study was planned to compare the effect of bromocriptine combined with Clomiphene Citrate and Clomiphene Citrate alone, in patients of polycystic ovarian syndrome with normal prolactin level. ...

BACKGROUND Based on previous studies and due to the characteristics of dyslexia as an auditory phonological decoding disorder, we predicted that the shape of the posterior corpus callosum (CC) would differ between dyslexic and control subjects. METHOD Twenty right-handed boys with developmental dyslexia were selected from a carefully screened general population sample (mean age 11 years) and ...

INTRODUCTION Morphometric measurements of the corpus callosum (CC) are necessary to have normative values for studying sex, age and race related variations. METHODS Morphometry of the CC was done in preserved brain specimens and in MRI scans, in adults.The measurements included parameters like length, width, height of the cc, distances between genu and fornix, genu and anterior commissure, sp...

Background: Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory disease with indefinite treatment. The present study aimed to assess the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of Carum copticum L. (CC) extract on induced colitis in rats. Methods: Sixty male rats were randomly divided into six groups (n=10 per group). Acetic acid-induced colitis rats were orally administered with doses of 100, 200, a...

The persistence of effects of prenatal drug exposure (PDE) on brain functioning during adolescence is poorly understood. We explored neural activation to a visuospatial working memory (VSWM) versus a control task using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in adolescents with PDE and a community comparison group (CC) of non-exposed adolescents. We applied graph theory metrics to resting ...

polycystic ovary syndrom (pcos) is characterized by infertility, oligomenorrhea, and hyperandrogenism. clomiphene citrate (cc), an antiestrogen, is first-line treatment for pcos, if cc fails to induce ovulation, laparascopic electrocautery of the ovaries is offered. in this prospective controlled study, 52 women with clomiphen-resistant pcos (group 1) and 46 women with regular menstrual cycles ...

BACKGROUND Adding clomiphene citrate (CC) to FSH for controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) decreases FSH dose required for optimum stimulation. However, because of its anti-estrogenic effects, CC may be associated with lower pregnancy rates offsetting the FSH-dose reduction benefit. Previously, we reported the success of aromatase inhibition in inducing ovulation without antiestrogenic effects. ...
