Abstract Study question Does low pretrigger LH in GnRH antagonist cycles affect the blastulation rates and cumulative live birth rates? Summary answer Low does not frozen embryo transfer cycles. What is known already • There conflicting evidence that stimulated with recombinant FSH, serum may effect negatively pregnancy outcomes fresh transfer.(Benmachiche et al 2019). Whether observed of on or...

BACKGROUND Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol has been proposed as a potentially proper option for the patients with limited ovarian reserve. Nevertheless, there is no significant difference in terms of clinical pregnancy between the GnRH antagonist and agonist cycles. The use of aromatase inhibitors such as letrozole was suggested by some studies. OBJECTIVE The object ...

INTRODUCTION This study was undertaken to compare between clomiphene citrate (CC) and gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist-based protocols in donor-recipient cycles in terms of parameters of ovarian stimulation and obstetric outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred and three fertile oocyte donors were stimulated using two different protocols: Clomiphene based (n = 103) and antagonist b...

Objective: The use of GnRH antagonist versus GnRH agonist in poor responder for patient undergoing ovarian hyperstimulation and in vitro-fertilization was compared. Materials and Methods: In this study, 23 patients underwent ovarian hyperstimulation with recombinant FSH followed by the use of GnRH antagonist (Cetrorelix) 0.25mg during the late Follicular Phase. These patients were compared to 2...

BACKGROUND Optimal coronary thrombolysis should be prompt and persistent. Although activation of platelets and increased thrombin activity have been associated with clinical thrombolysis, the role of each in delaying thrombolysis or inducing early coronary reocclusion has been difficult to define. METHODS AND RESULTS In conscious dogs with coronary thrombosis induced by electrical current, we...

Pathological angiogenesis contributes directly to profound loss of vision associated with many diseases of the eye. Recent work suggests that human tyrosyl- and tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetases (TrpRS) link protein synthesis to signal transduction pathways including angiogenesis. In this study, we show that a recombinant form of a COOH-terminal fragment of TrpRS is a potent antagonist of vascular ...

Unlike the widely distributed and preformed B(2) receptors, the bradykinin B(1) receptors exhibit a highly regulated expression and minimal agonist-induced endocytosis. To evaluate the potential usefulness of fluorescent B(1) receptor probes applicable to live cell microscopy and cytofluorometry, combined chemical synthesis and pharmacologic evaluation have been conducted on novel 5(6)-carboxyf...
