Background One of the important complications of assisted reproductive technologies is multiple pregnancy, the aim of the present study was to indentify the risk factors of multiple pregnancy independent of number of transfred embryos. MaterialsAndMethods This retrospective study reviewed the medical records of patients underwent intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycle in Royan Institute ...

Background Ultrasound has a pivotal role in imaging modality in the study of the female pelvis, and provides fundamental information in detecting uterine, ovarian, or adnexal origin, but to reach to the best results we need to use suitable procedure. The aim of this article was to describe management of infertile patient in sonography department during infertility treatment cycles.���� Material...

This paper presents a new MRF optimization algorithm, which is derived from Linear Programming and manages to go beyond current state-of-the-art techniques (such as those based on graph-cuts or belief propagation). It does so by relying on a much tighter class of LP-relaxations, called cycle-relaxations. With the help of this class of relaxations, our algorithm tries to deal with a difficulty l...

BACKGROUND In daily practice, assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles are often cancelled under the assumption that a prolonged stimulation period lowers the likelihood of an appropriate ovarian response. The aim of the present study was to determine whether a prolonged cycle has an adverse effect on achievement of pregnancy. METHODS The study sample included consecutive women enrolled ...

Over the last years, digital preservation has become a particularly active research area. While several initiatives are dealing with the preservation of standard document formats, the challenges of preserving multimedia objects and pieces of electronic art are still to be tackled. This paper presents the findings of a pilot project for preserving born-digital interactive multimedia art. We desc...

Antagonist cycles have an inherent issue of lack of flexibility. As a result where batching of cycles is desired, it is not the preferred protocol in ART cycles. There is also the limitation of ovarian response in antagonist cycle due to the size heterogenesities of antral follicles at the start of stimulation. Among the different options available, use of estrogen in the luteal phase of the pr...
