background and aim: age implantation is one of the effective factors on speech production outcomes in cochlear implanted (ci) children. the purpose of this study is to determine the role of age implantation on formant frequencies and production of three persian vowels including /a/, /u/, /i/ in ci children. methods: sixty nine congenitally deaf children who received ci were divided into three g...

background: it has been demonstrated that performing a mock embryo transfer (et) significantly improves the pregnancy rate in ivf cycles. the mock et could be performed prior to the stimulation cycle or immediately before real et. the problem of the first procedure is the possibility of variation in the uterine position and or cervico�uterine angle. objective: the purpose of this study was to d...

background: the aim of this study was to determine the correlation between ultrastructural studies for pinopodes expression after ovarian hyperstimulation and progesterone injection in mice. materials and methods: adult nmri mice were superovulated using human menopasual gonadotropic (hmg) and human chorionic gonadotropic (hcg) hormones; after that, daily injection of progesterone (1 mg/mouse) ...

background: there are some controversial data on application of progesterone and progesterone plus estrogen at luteal phase. objective: to investigate the effects of different luteal support hormones on the alkaline phosphates (alp) activity in the endometrial epithelium and endometrial thickness during superovulation process for obtaining the optimized endometrial receptivity in animal model. ...

background: physalis alkekengi (p. alkekengi)has been used as an abortive plant in iranian traditional medicine for many years. objective: to investigate the effects of p.alkekengi on the fertility rate in female rats. material and methods: in this experimental study, 40 female albino rats were divided randomly into two groups; group 1/for investigating the implantation sites and group 2/ for i...

background: natural endometrium in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (fet) may have some benefits upon implantation in patients with repeated implantation failure (rif). it might be due to possible differences between natural and stimulated endometrial growth factors and cytokins secretions. objective: the objective of this study was to compare the pregnancy rate of fet on modified natural cycle ve...

Introduction: Literature regarding the different degrees of hearing loss in patients with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CDLS) reports that half of the affected patients exhibit severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss. We present the first pre-school child with CDLS who underwent cochlear implantation for congenital profound sensorineural hearing loss.   Case Report: A 3-year-old boy with CD...

Background: Because implantation failure is more frequent, many methods have been suggested to improve the implantation; however, their results have been inconsistent. One of the most hopeful methods is local endometrial injury. To explore the possibility that local injury of the endometrium increases the incidence of implantation and pregnancy rate in the subsequent IVF cycle in patients havin...
