Thirteen cycles of anovulation menstruation in 11 cases were treated with Electro-Acupuncture (EA) ovulation induction. In 6 of these cycles which showed ovulation, the hand skin temperature (HST) of these patients was increased after EA treatment. In the other 7 cycles ovulation was not induced. There were no regular changes in HST of 5 normal subjects. The level of radioimmunoreactive beta-en...

Uncertainty continues as to whether treatments for ovulation induction are associated with increased risk of cancer. The authors conducted a long-term population-based historical cohort study of parous women. A total of 15,030 women in the Jerusalem Perinatal Study who gave birth in 1974–1976 participated in a postpartum survey. Cancer incidence through 2004 was analyzed using Cox’s proportiona...

Expressed sequence tag (EST) analysis was adopted to address physiological changes after injection of carp pituitary extract for induction of ovulation. ESTs were analyzed from cDNA libraries constructed from mRNA isolated from channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) pituitaries before and after induction of ovulation by injection of carp pituitary extract. One hundred randomly picked clones were...

Artificial insemination (AI) has become a popular technique in rabbit farms worldwide. This report discusses the progress made on semen extenders used AI, setting out latest innovations. Fresh and frozen have different requirements, so extender composition will vary depending type of used. We discuss endocrine supplementation for ovulation induction, use active molecules as an alternative to co...

Pregnancy outcome and characteristics of women who conceive following subfertility treatment remains a subject of great interest. We analyzed these variables among 199 women who delivered a registerable twin birth compared with 1773 women who delivered a naturally conceived twin birth in a population-based obstetric cohort drawn from around Oxford, England. Treatment was restricted to conceptio...
