Objective: To investigate whether there was difference in levels of procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in intrauterine infection and non-intrauterine infection and to study the potential of PCT and CRP as for diagnostic markers of intrauterine infection. Methods: 200 cases were selected, including 98 cases of intrauterine infection and 102 cases of nonintrauterine infection during...

We interpreted the clinical data from 16 eyes with a 3M multifocal implant and compared them with data from 16 monofocal implants with the same follow-up period. The multifocal implant has several disadvantages: a lower initial visual acuity, a higher frequency of posterior synechiae, and slightly more difficult ophthalmoscopy than with conventional lenses. The great advantage of the multifocal...

background: intrauterine insemination (iui) is one of the therapeutic approaches for infertility. the objective of this study was to evaluate dna integrity and apoptosis role in success of iui in both mild male and female factor infertility. methods: patients were divided into two groups: m (mild male factor; n=29) and f (female factor; n=31) undergoing single iui. ejaculates were analyzed and ...

Background: To evaluate the effectiveness of intrauterine injection of recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (rhCG) before embryo transfer (ET). Materials and Methods: In this randomized placebocontrolled clinical trial, a total number of 182 infertile patients undergoing their first in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ICSI) were randomly assigned to receive 250 μg i...

In mammals, the intrauterine condition has an important role in the development of fetal physiological systems in later life. Suboptimal maternal environment can alter the regulatory pathways that determine the normal development of the fetus in utero, which in post-natal life may render the individual more susceptible to cardiovascular or metabolic adult-life diseases. Changes in the intrauter...

background: intrauterine insemination (iui) is one of the most appropriate and cost-effective methods in infertility treatment. objective: we aimed to investigate effect of vaginal misoprostol on pregnancy rate after iui. materials and methods: two hundred and ten infertile women who were referred to infertility clinic of alzahra hospital by an indication of iui during 2012-2013 were randomly a...
