Extending the FSH window for multifollicular development by administering FSH from the midfollicular phase onward constitutes a novel mild protocol for ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF) based on the physiology of single dominant follicle selection in normo-ovulatory women. We compared outcomes from this protocol with two other stimulation protocols. One hundred and forty-two ...

Paired associative stimulation (PAS) produces enduring neuroplasticity based on Hebbian associative plasticity. This study established the changes in spinal motoneuronal excitability by pairing transcortical and transspinal stimulation. Transcortical stimulation was delivered after (transspinal-transcortical PAS) or before (transcortical-transspinal PAS) transspinal stimulation. Before and afte...

Postural instability owing to poor proprioception is considered a main cause of low back pain and falls. However, the effect local vibratory stimulation on proprioceptor proprioceptive control strategy has yet be evaluated. Therefore, in this study, we proposed an evaluation method immediate strategies by applying proprioceptor. First, using our device, determined proprioceptors each six elderl...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate effect eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) Couple Protocol on relationship-satisfaction, depression, anxiety levels couples. This protocol differs from standard EMDR procedures in that partners are together treatment session, engage bidirectional stimulation simultaneously. targets disturbing events couples have experienced together....

Introduction: In this work, the effect of a dynamic visual stimulation (DS) protocol was used to induce egomotion, the center of pressure (COP) displacement response. Methods: DS was developed concerning the scenario structure (chessboard-pattern floor and furniture) and luminance. To move the scenario in a discrete forward (or backward) direction, the furniture is expanded (or reduced) and the...

Introduction: Mechanical stimulation of human mesenchymal stem cells has demonstrated changes in many cell behaviours such as adhesion, migration, growth and differentiation through mechanotransductive pathways. These include experiments on effect of nanotopography 1, shear stress, stiffness of extracellular matrix 2, strain, stress and acoustic wave energy 3 on cells. In this research we wer...

Objective This retrospective study compared the effect of the luteal phase ovarian stimulation protocol (LP group) with the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol (AN group) in women with poor ovarian responses. Methods Ovarian stimulation was initiated with 225 IU of human gonadotrophin (hMG) daily. When the dominant follicle diameter exceeded 13 mm, 0.25 mg of a GnRH antag...

We examined whether treatment with minimum-dose stimulation (MS) protocol enhances clinical pregnancy rates compared to high-dose stimulation (HS) protocol. A retrospective cohort study was performed comparing IVF and pregnancy outcomes between MS and HS gonadotropin-antagonist protocol for patients with poor ovarian reserve (POR). Inclusion criteria included patients with an anti-Müllerian hor...
