BACKGROUND We investigated the differences in anthropometrical, hormonal and insulin resistance parameters according to the subtype of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in Korean women. METHODS We recruited 166 women with PCOS and retrospectively recruited 277 controls. PCOS was diagnosed by irregular menstruation (IM), polycystic ovary (PCO) and hyperandrogenism (HA). Subjects were divided in...

REIVICH, MARTIN. Arterial Pcoz and cerebral hemodynamics. Am. J. Physiol. 206(1) : q-35. rg64.---The effect of arterial Pco:! in the control of cerebral hemodynamics over the full range of responsiveness of the cerebral vasculature was studied in the rhesus monkey. Cerebral perfusion pressure and arterial 02 saturation were controlled so that they produced no significant effect on the cerebral ...

this study was designed to determine the prevalence of bipolar disorder in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (pco). one hundred and ten women with definite diagnosis of pco and one hundred and ten age-matched infertile women due to other reasons except for pco were enrolled in this case-control study. ten ml fasting venous blood sample obtained to measure fasting glucose, lh and fsh. heigh...

BACKGROUND Hyperandrogenism (HA) has been linked with several components of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Few studies in Asian women have evaluated the important risk factors for and prevalence of MetS according to PCOS subtype. In this study, we investigated differences in metabolic parameters and the prevalence of MetS in two major phenotypic subgroups of PCOS in Korea. Furthermore, we investiga...

Aim. To compare the basic endocrine profile and outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), ovulatory polycystic ovaries (PCO), or normal ovaries (NO). Methods. The basic clinical features and in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer outcome in patients receiving IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) were retrospectively analyzed. Results....

OBJECTIVE Traditionally, delivery room management of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants consisted of immediate intubation and mechanical ventilation. There have been recent reports of success using nasal prongs continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in this population. Data on the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO(2)) in spontaneously breathing ELBW infants is very limited. Th...

OBJECTIVES Preservation of posterior condylar offset (PCO) has been shown to correlate with improved functional results after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Whether this is also the case for revision TKA, remains unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the independent effect of PCO on early functional outcome after revision TKA. METHODS A total of 107 consecutive aseptic revision...

PURPOSE To evaluate posterior capsule opacification (PCO) in humans after cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, by using optical coherence tomography (OCT-1). METHODS Sixty-six eyes with PCO and 20 eyes with a normal posterior capsule were analyzed. A 3-mm-long horizontal scan of the posterior capsule was obtained. Measurements at three points and their average were recor...

Purpose To evaluate the influence of Intraocular Lens (IOL) material and design on Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO) and Neodymium-YAG (Nd-YAG) rates in eyes implanted with different Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lenses (PC IOLs) designs at the end of uncomplicated cataract surgeries. Setting Oculus Eye Clinic, Bucharest, Romania. Design Retrospective, observational study. Methods Thi...
