The endometrium undergoes a dynamic proliferation of cells and vascular tissue under the influence ovarian steroid hormones. Implantation is an essential process in development pregnancy, where there close contact between embryo uterus, including supposition, adhesion, invasion. changes occur human endometrium, endometrial secretion changes, blood vessels, immune response, leading to uterine re...

OBJECTIVE To compare performance after cochlear implantation in children with mutations in connexin (Cx) 26 (GJB2) or Cx30 (GJB6) and children with deafness of unknown etiology. DESIGN Genetic analysis and speech perception evaluation was performed in the children with and without Cx mutations who had undergone cochlear implantation. Speech perception performance was retrospectively analyzed ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcome of cochlear implantation in young children in relation to the age at implantation. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective longitudinal and cross-sectional analysis of pediatric cochlear implant patients. PATIENTS All children with congenital deafness who underwent implantation before the age of 6 years (n = 48 for the longitudinal analysis and n = 70 for the cross-se...

It is known that psychological stress affects reproduction in women, but it is unknown whether the effect is by impairing implantation. Although studies suggest that long periods of auditory or restraint stress may inhibit implantation in rats and mice, the exact stage of pregnancy at which stress impairs implantation is unclear. Furthermore, whether stress impairs implantation by decreasing th...

To the Editor: Some patients with keratoconus have poor corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) associated with high refractive errors. According to our treatment protocol,1 the best approach for these cases is intracorneal ring segments (ICRS) implantation (usually one segment) to improve CDVA followed by corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) treatment 4 weeks later to stabilize the cornea and ...

background: dextrocardia is a congenital anomaly, which may have coexistent coronary artery disease (cad), arrhythmias and conventional indications for device therapy. however, the implantation of transvenous leads can be technically challenging and the approach needs to be tailored to the patient's individual anatomy. case presentation: a 54-year-old male with dextrocardia situs inversus ...

the incidence of microbial keratitis after intacs implantation is extremely low and channel infection has been infrequently reported. we present a 23-year-old woman with keratoconus of both eyes who underwent implantation of two intrastromal corneal ring segments (intacs, keravision, inc., fremont, ca, usa) in the right eye. after 2.5 months, the patient presented with decreased vision, inflamm...

background: the latest studies reported that local endometrial injury is a useful method to improve the success of ivf-icsi outcome. objective: to assess whether local endometrial injury occurred by pipelle in the spontaneous cycle could improve implantation rate, cleavage rate, and pregnancy outcome in the subsequent ivf-icsi cycle in patients who had recurrent ivf failure. materials and metho...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes and complications associated with early gold weight implantation for management of the paralyzed eyelid. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective review of clinical charts was conducted to analyze results and complications in patients who underwent gold weight implantation within 30 days of onset of facial nerve paralysis and to ...

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a combination of bone-marrow mononuclear cell (BM-MNC) implantation and sarpogrelate, a selective 5-HT2A antagonist, on endothelial function in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). Methods: We evaluated the leg blood flow (LBF) responses to acetylcholine and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) before and after BM-MNC implantatio...
