Utero-ovarian arterial blood flow and hormonal profile were evaluated in 20 patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and in 22 patients with normal menstrual cycle (NMC) undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. In this controlled prospective clinical study the vascular impedance in the utero-ovarian arteries was measured in both groups on days 4, 13, 22 [introduction of gonadotr...

The DHCP protocol is used by hosts to dynamically allocate an IP address and con gure client hosts. The protocol greatly eases the administration of an IP subnetwork and is thus widely used. The basic approach of the DHCP protocol is for a client to broadcast a request for an address, and for one or more servers to respond with addresses. This creates signi cant opportunities for security risks...

The effectiveness of two kinds of dopamine antagonist (DA), metoclopramide (Met) and domperidone (Dom) combined with the gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue (D-Ala6, Des Gly10 ethylamide) GnRHa was assayed on the ovulation success, latency period, ovulation index (OI) and fertilization success of kutum, Rutilus frisii kutum (Kamenskii, 1901). Brood fish were injected intra-peritoneally as f...

In this study, the benefits of using the first Iranian made GnRHa[D-Ala6 des Gly10] mGnRH ethylamide, to induce spermiation in male rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, were evaluated, In addition, its effect on acceleration and synchronization, quality and quantity of milt and the plasma Testosterone (T) fluctuations were examined. For these purposes, 40 non-spermiating male rainbow trouts were...

Fail-stop cryptographic protocols are characterized by the property that they terminate when an active attack is detected, rather than releasing information valuable to the attacker. Since such a construction forces attacks (other than denial-of-service) to be passive, the protocol designer's concerns can be restricted to passive attacks and malicious insiders. A signi cant advantage of such pr...

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) peptide drugs including leuprolide and deslorelin have been successfully used for decades in humans, domestic animals, free-ranging wildlife and animals in zoological facilities, and more recently in avian and exotic companion animals. Typical uses for GnRHa include reproductive stimulation, reproductive suppression (contraception or hormonerespons...

Methods Clinical Records of 17 children (16 girls and 1 boy) were retrospectively analyzed over a period of 24 months (Mar 2012 to Mar 2014). All children satisfied the criteria for precocity based on clinical features, radiological assessment and GnRHa stimulation test. All 16 girls had idiopathic precocious puberty and the only boy had hypothalamic hamartoma. The mean age of presentation was ...

BACKGROUND It is important to differentiate central from peripheral causes of precocious puberty because of distinct management options. CASE CHARACTERISTICS 4 girls with discordant pubertal development. OBSERVATIONS All had low basal and GnRHa stimulated FSH and LH level with high estradiol level. Abdominal ultrasonogram helped in diagnosing precocious pseudopuberty- ovarian cyst in 3 chil...
