GnRH antagonists are safer than agonists: an update of a Cochrane review Background GnRH agonists or antagonists can be used to prevent LH surges during ovarian stimulation for assisted reproduction. GnRH agonists downregulate GnRH pituitary receptors. GnRH antagonists directly and rapidly inhibit gonadotrophin release. In a 2006 systematic review involving 29 trials, the average clinical pregn...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Riboflavin plays an important role in myelin formation, and its deficiency is implicated as a risk factor for multiple sclerosis. Here, we systematically reviewed the literature concerning the health benefits of riboflavin on MS. The literature recorded within four main databases, including rel...

We review the world literature on leafhoppers (Cicadellidae) that have probed human skin, update the names presented in those published reports, and sort out which are original accounts and which are citations of previous reports (Table 1). We add 19 new records, representing five subfamilies, and at least 13 genera, all from Panama (Table 2). We speculate as to why these normally phytophagous ...

La compression médullaire d’origine métastatique est une complication neurologique fréquente du cancer.

L’imagerie par résonnance magnétique (IRM) constitue l’examen de choix pour l’exploration de l’ensemble de la moelle. La prise en charge thérapeutique doit être multidisciplinaire incluant la...

BACKGROUND Ooplasmic transfer (OT) technique or cytoplasmic transfer is an emerging technique with relative success, having a significant status in assisted reproduction. This technique had effectively paved the way to about 30 healthy births worldwide. Though OT has long been invented, proper evaluation of the efficacy and risks associated with this critical technique has not been explored pro...
