The standard goal of all fertility treatments is the improvement of pregnancy rates in infertile patients. Within the last 20 years, ovulation induction has contributed to the success of assisted reproduction techniques e.g. in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo-transfer (ET). The efficacy of these techniques depends on a personalized protocol of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) and ...

purpose: to assess whether bromocriptine-rebound method (brm) can improve pregnancy   outcomes compared to long protocol after intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles (icsis).   materials and methods: a total of 114 women underwent icsi. pregnancy outcomes and   hormonal data were compared between two groups, i.e. long protocol and brm. ovulatory   women with normal serum prolactin levels were ...

Reliable induction of foaming is indispensable for vacuum foam drying. We previously showed that, adequate partial drying followed by puncturing a solution with needle (needle stimulation) resulted in the foaming, even under insufficient where minimal. Herein, characteristics needle-stimulation-induced was investigated, focusing on impact viscosity and vapor pressure. Different combinations sol...

Abstract Background Infertility is a global problem that refers to the absence of pregnancy after 12 months intercourse without using contraception. Assisted reproductive techniques (ART) are treatment technique for infertile patients. Poor ovarian response stimulation (POR) one challenges in field ART. POR people whom, despite appropriate stimulation, number oocytes retrieved less than expecte...

This paper proposes a new combinatorial auction protocol called Average-Max-Minimal-Bundle (AM-MB) protocol. The characteristics of the AM-MB protocol are as follows: (i) it is strategyproof, i.e., truth-telling is a dominant strategy, (ii) the computational overhead is very low, since it allocates bundles greedily thereby avoiding an explicit combinatorial optimization problem, and (iii) it ca...

pituitary suppression by depot gnrh agonist may be excessive for ovarian stimulation. this study compares the efficacy of a single half-dose depot triptorelin and reduced-dose daily buserelin in a long protocol icsi/et. methods: a total of 182 patients were randomized into two groups using sealed envelopes. pituitary desensitization was obtained in group 1 (91 patients) with half-dose (1.87 mg)...

Invasive deep brain stimulation has proven to be clinically therapeutic for patients with drug-refractory epilepsy. The aim of this study was develop a novel transcranial electrical device as noninvasive modality seizure treatment. We fabricated and tested it in four swine brains depth electrodes surgically implanted under neuro-navigation. Stimulation two high-frequency alternating currents us...

Cancer is not uncommon and no longer considered to be an incurable disorder. 10% of cancer cases occur under the age of 45. There is a remarkable improvement in treatment and survival rates. Today women have been delaying initiation of childbearing because the incidence of most cancers increases with age. Delayed childbearing results in more female cancer survivors. As a consequence there is an...

After fatigue, motor evoked potentials (MEP) elicited by transcranial magnetic stimulation and cervicomedullary evoked potentials elicited by stimulation of the corticospinal tract are depressed. These reductions in corticomotor excitability and corticospinal transmission are accompanied by voluntary activation failure, but this may not reflect a causal relationship. Our purpose was to determin...
