Decision making theories have been proved to be very successful for evaluating the users’ interests and preferences in Intelligent User Interfaces (IUIs). However, their application and incorporation in the reasoning of an IUI requires empirical studies throughout the software life-cycle that lead to requirements analysis and specification, important design decisions and evaluation of the resul...

The present study determines fertilization rate and number of embryos on Day 2 after intrauterine insemination (IUI) and deep intrauterine insemination (DIUI) using frozen-thawed (FT) boar semen in multiparous sows. Twelve crossbred Landrace × Yorkshire multiparous sows were included. The sows were inseminated at 24 h after oestrus detection and reinseminated every 12 h until ovulation took pla...

INTRODUCTION Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is an important treatment for infertility. IUI combined with controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) is widely used because of the higher pregnancy rates compared to IUI cycles without COS. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed a single center data from 458 patients underwent the first IUI cycle and had only 1 mature follicle from May 2009 ...

Özet Intrauterine insemination is the first method of treatment for many causes of infertility, mainly unexplained infertility,male subfertility, and ovulatory dysfunction.Despite its popularity, the effectiveness of IUI treatment is not consistent,and the role of IUI treatment in practice protocols has not been clarified.The success of IUI depends on a number of parameters linked both to the p...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate outcomes of patients with unexplained infertility who underwent letrozole (LET)– stimulated controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) with timed sexual intercourse (IC) as compared to patients treated with clomiphene citrate (CC) and intrauterine insemination (IUI). STUDY DESIGN: A non­ randomized, retrospective study where unexplained in­ fertility patients (n=7,764) underwen...

The paper discusses a number of threats to the financial sustainability of social spending: increased internationalization of national economies, gradually higher relative costs of producing a number of human services, the “graying” of the population, slower productivity growth in the private sector, low employment rates, and various types of disincentive effects related to the welfare state it...

BACKGROUND The objective of this review was to compare the efficacy of Fallopian tube sperm perfusion (FSP) with intrauterine insemination (IUI) in the treatment of non-tubal subfertility. METHODS The principles of the Cochrane Menstrual Disorders and Subfertility Group were employed. Only randomized controlled studies comparing FSP with IUI were included in this review. The main outcome meas...

OBJECTIVE To exam semen parameters in predicting intrauterine insemination (IUI) outcomes in couples with male factor. STUDY DESIGN This retrospective study was performed at department of infertility and sexual medicine from September 2007 to February 2014. 307 couples with male factor infertility were included and 672 IUI cycles were analyzed. RESULTS From 672 inseminations performed on 30...

Background: Controlled ovarian hyper stimulation (COH) in conjunction with intrauterine insemination (IUI) is frequently used to treat various causes of infertility in couples. In this study we evaluate the relation between IUI outcomes and infertility with the intent to detect the most important parameters that pertain to a successful IUI. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, ...

BACKGROUND In Spanish public hospital Reproduction Units it is very problematic to perform programmed intrauterine insemination (IUI) on weekends, if indicated. Small previous pilot studies suggest that using a GnRH antagonist to avoid an LH weekend surge would allow to perform IUI on the following Monday, not impairing the expected pregnancy rate. METHODS Between 1st January 2007 and 31st De...
