In this issue of Neuron, Huang et al. show that a version of the classic theta burst stimulation protocol used to induce LTP/LTD in brain slices can be adapted to a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) protocol to rapidly produce long lasting (up to an hour), reversible effects on motor cortex physiology and behavior. These results may have important implications for the development of clini...

objective: the objective of this study is to compare rates of pregnancy and ivf parameters in subjects who were stimulated with follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) plus either recombinant human luteinizing hormone (r-lh) or human menopausal gonadotropins (hmg), in long gonadotropin releasing hormone (gnrh) agonist ivf protocols. materials and methods: this is a cohort study of patients undergoin...

In this study, we propose a new controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) protocol for polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) that doesn’t cause hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS) while maintaining egg quality. We also compare the conventional GnRH antagonist PCOS with COH at our hospital, and show is more secure than protocol. Eighty-seven patients of were treated in 38 49 patients. The was based on F...

background and aim: tinnitus is an auditory phantom percept in the absence of any objective physical sound source. although advances have been made in its treatment, there is very low percent of patients that report an elimination of their tinnitus. a novel approach using noninv­asive neuromodulation has emerged as an inter­esting and promising modality for tinnitus relief. our aim in this revi...

OBJECTIVES This preliminary study aimed to 1) determine changes in the salivary oxytocin (OT) level during breast stimulation for promoting the spontaneous onset of labor in low-risk term pregnancies, and 2) clarify the feasibility of the breast stimulation intervention protocol in terms of practicality and acceptability. METHODS We used a single arm trial design. Sixteen low-risk pregnant wo...

BACKGROUND Milder ovarian stimulation protocols for in vitro fertilization (IVF) are being developed to minimize adverse effects. Mild stimulation regimens result in a decreased number of oocytes at retrieval. After conventional ovarian stimulation for IVF, a low number of oocytes are believed to represent poor ovarian reserve resulting in reduced success rates. Recent studies suggest that a si...

Background: To assess whether Bromocriptine Rebound Method (BRM), can improve pregnancy outcomes after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. Materials and Methods: In this prospective study, we analyzed data from a total of 117 women who underwent ICSI cycles. Pregnancy outcomes and hormonal data were compared between long protocol and BRM groups. Ovulatory women with normal serum pro...

We examined the effect of an age-related leftward shift in the force-frequency relationship on the comparative quadriceps fatigability of nine young (27 +/- 1 yr old) and nine old men (78 +/- 1 yr old) during low-frequency electrical stimulation. Two different protocols of intermittent trains (6 pulses on, 650 ms off) of electrical stimulation at 25% maximum voluntary contraction were performed...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of random-start controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) for emergency fertility preservation, regardless of the phase of the menstrual cycle. A self-controlled pilot clinical trial (NCT01385332) was performed in an acute-care teaching hospital and in two private reproductive centers in Barcelona, Spain. Eleven egg donors particip...
