Immunohistochemical demonstration of human chorionic gonadotropin in tumors of the urinary bladder.

Low-Dose Urinary Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is Effective for Oocyte Maturation in In Vitro Fertilization/ Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Cycles Independent of Body Mass Index

Objective Currently, there is no agreement on the optimal urinary derived human chorionic gonadotropin (u-hCG) dose requirement for initiating final oocyte maturation prior to oocyte collection in in vitro fertilization (IVF), but doses that range from 2500- 15000 IU have been used. We intended to determine whether low dose u-hCG was effective for oocyte maturation in IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm...

P-165: Comparison of Urinary and Recombinant Human Chorionic Gonadotropin during Ovulation Induction in Intrauterine Insemination Cycles

Background: Urinary human chorionic gonadotropin is the most widely used medicine for ovulation in ovarian stimulation cycles. Recently however, recombinant HCG has also become commercially available. This study presents compare the use of recombinant hCG with urinary hCG during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and intra uterine insemination (COH-IUI ) cycles Materials and Methods: This is s...

[Urinary hCG beta-core fragment as a tumor marker for bladder cancer].

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a highly specific tumor marker or trophoblastic neoplasms. Also in patients with non-trophoblastic tumors, hCG beta-related material has been frequently demonstrated in their urine. This material was termed beta-core fragment (beta-CF) since it is recognized by hCG beta-core directed antisera but not by hCG beta-carboxyterminal peptide (CTP) directed antise...

Lymphoepithelial – Like Carcinoma with Papillary Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Urinary Bladder Associated with Carcinoma in situ Changes of the Urothelium; A Case Report and Review of Literature

Lymphoepithelial - like carcinoma, is rarely recognized in the urinary bladder and less commonly occurs with papillary transitional cell carcinoma i.e. mixed pattern. Also, less uncommon is the occurrence of carcinoma in situ changes in the adjacent urothelium of these tumors. Here, a case of lymphoepithelial – like carcinoma and papillary transitional cell carcinoma associated with carci...
