The formation of tumors in intrasplenic ovarian grafts in castrated hosts has been observed re peatedly in rats (1, 10) and mice (2, 7, 8, 9). In all the studies undertaken up to this time both young hosts and donors were used; in fact, autologous grafts have been made in most of the experiments. The theory has been proposed that ovarian tumorigcnesis occurs in the intrasplenic and intrapancrea...

Premenstrual exacerbation of asthma, as reflected by a reduction in peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), has been demonstrated in 40-100% of female asthmatics. Epidemiological data demonstrate that admission to hospital with an exacerbation of asthma occurs more frequently perimenstrually. Therapeutic interventions aimed at modifying this precipitating factor, however, remain limited. We report on...

Objective: The use of GnRH antagonist versus GnRH agonist in poor responder for patient undergoing ovarian hyperstimulation and in vitro-fertilization was compared. Materials and Methods: In this study, 23 patients underwent ovarian hyperstimulation with recombinant FSH followed by the use of GnRH antagonist (Cetrorelix) 0.25mg during the late Follicular Phase. These patients were compared to 2...
