[ 1 ] - The Effect of Vaginal Sildenafil on The Outcome of Assisted Reproductive Technology Cycles in Patients with Repeated Implantation Failures: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial
Objective Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of vaginal sildenafil on the outcome of patients with at least two times of unsuccessful IVF / ICSI. MaterialsAndMethods Method and Material(s): A total of 66 infertile women aged ≤ 38 years, with a history of normal ovarian reserve, two prior consecutive failed IVF/ICSI attempts, hCG day endometrial thickness
[ 2 ] - Relationships between Serum Luteinizing Hormone Level, Endometrial Thickness and Body Mass Index in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients with and without Endometrial Hyperplasia
Objective The endometrial hyperplasia measured by ultrasound in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women is strongly related to pathologic endometrial thickness, but there is no consensus on the relation between serum luteinizing hormone (LH) and either of these factors: pathologic endometrial hyperplasia and body mass index (BMI). MaterialsAndMethods In this observational cross-sectional study, ...
[ 3 ] - Comparison of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and Calcium Levels between Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and Normal Women
Background Given the relationship of vitamin D deficiency with insulin resistance syndrome as the component of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the main aim of this study was to compare serum level of 25- hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] between PCOS patients and normal individuals. MaterialsAndMethods A cross sectional study was conducted to compare 25(OH)D level between117 normal and 125 untreated...
[ 4 ] - mRNA Expression of VEGF and Its Receptors in Fallopian Tubes of Women with Ectopic Pregnancies
Background Establishment of viable pregnancy requires embryo implantation and placentation. Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is a pregnancy complication which occurs when an embryo implants outside of the uterine cavity, most often in a fallopian tube. On the other hand, an important aspect of successful implantation is angiogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent angiogenic factor...
[ 5 ] - Heterotopic Pregnancy after Assisted Reproductive Techniques
Heterotopic pregnancy (HP) is the simultaneous occurrence of intra- and extrauterine pregnancies. It is a rare event in spontaneous pregnancies with an incidence of less than 1:15000 however the frequency has increased to 1% in accordance with the widespread use of assisted reproductive techniques (ART). The pre-operative diagnosis of this condition is generally difficult and it would be life t...
