A total of 29 women with Turner's syndrome (19 monosomy and 10 mosaic) had 68 cycles of oocyte donation that included 29 cycles of initial attempt and 39 cycles of subsequent attempts. Oral oestradiol valerate was used either in a variable dose (42 cycles) or in a constant dose (26 cycles) regimen for the endometrial preparation which was monitored by pelvic ultrasonography. The embryos/zygotes...

Myocardial ischemia results in altered left ventricular (LV) diastolic compliance, reflected by an abnormal mitral inflow pattern on Doppler echocardiography. To investigate the relationship of Doppler echocardiography and regional myocardial systolic function during dipyridamole infusion, we evaluated transmitral flow changes detected by pulsed Doppler technique during a high-dose dipyridamole...

background : dysmenorrhea or menstrual pain is one of the most common disorders experienced by 50% of women in their reproductive age. adverse effects of medical treatments and its failure rate of 20-25% have caused many women to seek other complementary and alternative treatment methods for primary dysmenorrhea. hence, this study aimed to compare and determine the efficacy of reflexology and i...

BACKGROUND Our objective was to evaluate the reliability and predictability of ten socioeconomic indicators obtained from the 2006-2013 annual and multi-year ACS data cycles for unintentional drowning and submersion injury surveillance. METHODS Each indicator was evaluated using its margin of error and coefficient of variation. For the multi-year data cycles we calculated the frequency that e...

This paper studies the interaction between information aggregation and investment cycles with investments exhibiting strategic complementarity. The composition of information aggregation varies across different phases of cycles, which in turn affects the course of investment cycles. The phases of cycles are history dependent for informational reasons, and changes in phases depend on the growth ...

Changes in the freeze–thaw cycles of shallow soil have important consequences for surface and subsurface hydrology, land–atmosphere energy moisture interaction, carbon exchange, ecosystem diversity productivity. This work examines cycle on Tibetan Plateau (TP) using in–situ temperature observations 0–20 cm layer during July 1982–June 2017. The domain averaged beginning frozen day is November 18...
