Objective The success rates of assisted reproduction technology (ART) could be developed with the improvement of ovarian stimulation protocols as well as the optimization of final oocyte maturation. The goal of this study was to compare oocyte maturation, fertilization and pregnancy rates among women with concomitant FSH administration at the time of hCG trigger and the hCG trigger alone. Mater...

PURPOSE Post-implant dosimetry following prostate seed implantation (PSI) occasionally reveals suboptimal dosimetric coverage of the gland. Published reports of re-implantation techniques have focused on earlier-generation techniques, including preplanned approaches and stranded seeds. The purpose of this case report is to describe a customizable approach to perform corrective re-implantation u...

background: endometrial development has an important role in blastocyst adhesion and implantation. during ivf cycles, endometrial development is enhanced by progesterone. objective: the aim of this study was to compare ultrastructural and morphometrical characteristics of mice uterine endometrium in natural cycle with those in superovulated cycles received progesterone or sildenafil. materials ...

background: repeated implantation failure (rif) is one of the most intricate obstacles in assisted reproduction. the cytokine and chemokine composition of uterine cavity seem to play important roles in the implantation process. objective: to compare the cytokine profile in the endometrium of normal fertile women and those with repeated implantation failure. methods: after enzymatic digestion of...

introduction: meningioma is a benign and slowly-growing tumor that is responsible for 20% of brain neoplasms. it can be accompanied by some genetic disorders such as neurofibromatosis type 2 and is more common among women. as a space occupying lesion, it produces a wide range of signs and symptoms by compressing the adjacent and underlying tissues in the brain. trauma and viruses are possible e...

Separation by plasma implantation of oxygen (SPIMOX) has been suggested as an economic alternative for separation by implantation of oxygen (SIMOX) to form the silicon-oninsulator (SOI) structure. The chief advantage of SPIMOX is the high throughput and low-cost implanter. The operation regime of implantation for SPIMOX, which uses dc plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) for the oxygen impl...
