This is a case series to evaluate the efficacy of falloposcopic tuboplasty (FT), a surgical technique of recanalization of occluded fallopian tube. Of 153 patients with tubal infertility for more than 2 years who underwent FT, 28.9% (44 patients) conceived, and 27.3%, 75.0%, and 88.8% conceived in 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months after FT, respectively.

Metoclopramide traditionally has been used as a prokinetic and antiemetic, but recently it also has been investigated as an agent to enhance analgesic efficacy. No definitive studies have been undertaken to determine whether metoclopramide can decrease postoperative analgesic requirements.

The detrimental effects of myocardial infarction in humans and rodents have a 24-h rhythm. In some human cohorts however, rhythmicity was absent, while the time of maximum damage differs between cohorts. We hypothesized that the type of damage influences the 24-h rhythm in infarct size. Myocardial infarction was induced in 12-week-old C57BL/six mice at four different time-points during the day ...
