OBJECTIVE To report the first ever case of primary short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks (SUNCT) syndrome completely responsive to clomiphene citrate. METHODS Case report. RESULTS SUNCT is a primary headache disorder marked by frequent attacks of one-sided headache with cranial autonomic associated symptoms. When SUNCT is deemed medicinally treatment refractory, it can caus...

BACKGROUND The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to compare the efficacy of extended letrozole regimen with clomiphene citrate in women with unexplained infertility undergoing superovulation and intrauterine insemination (IUI). METHODS Two hundred and fourteen patients with unexplained infertility were randomized into two equal groups using computer generated list and were treated b...

The aim of this study was to systematically compare the clinical efficacy and safety of letrozole with clomiphene citrate for ovulation induction in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, EMbase, CBMdisc and CNKI were searched for eligible randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing letrozole with clomiphene citrate in PCOS pati...

Objective: To study the effects of Mesterolone alone and combination of Mesterolone and Clomiphene Citrate on semen parameters, pituitary axis and liver function in Idiopathic Oligospermic males. Materials and Methods: 30 males with Idiopathic Oligospermia (sperm count < 20-million/ml) between 20-45 years of age were included in the study. Of the 30 subjects, 10 were given tab Mesterolene 50 mg...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate whether polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) phenotype without polycystic ovaries (PCO) differs in terms of in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes compared with classic phenotypes. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective controlled study included 262 patients who underwent IVF treatment with an indication of unexplained or tubal factor infertilit...

The research examined individual differences in people’s propensity to connectwith others (PCO). Ameasure of PCO, with components for making friends (strong ties), making acquaintances (weak ties), and joining others (bridging ties), was developed and tested in two studies involving 144 undergraduates and 197 health-care employees. PCO and its components were significantly positively associated...

Antarctic krill embryos and larvae were experimentally exposed to 380 (control), 1000 and 2000 µatm pCO₂ in order to assess the possible impact of ocean acidification on early development of krill. No significant effects were detected on embryonic development or larval behaviour at 1000 µatm pCO₂; however, at 2000 µatm pCO₂ development was disrupted before gastrulation in 90 per cent of embryos...

Specific binding of oxytocin to high affinity sites in endometrial membrane preparations has previously been shown in sheep. Endometrial tissue preparations from 27 'normal' women of proven fertility were incubated with tritiated oxytocin and the existence of significant binding sites in human endometrium was shown. Furthermore, the level of binding sites underwent a cyclical variation with the...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of intrauterine insemination timing performed 24 or 36 h later following ovulation trigger on clinical pregnancy rate during ovulation induction with clomiphene citrate among infertile women was the objective of this study. METHODS The medical records of 280 infertile patients who have underwent ovulation induction by using clomiphene citrate have been evaluat...
