background: c-reactive protein (crp) can be increased after hormonal stimulations. the changes of crp might affect the success of in-vitro fertilization (ivf). objective: the aim of this study was to determine the possible relationship between the serum crp level and outcome of controlled ovarian stimulation, and pregnancy rate in patients undergoing ivf or intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ic...

Background: The affordable protocol to prevent the severe OHSS in two groups of patients PCO syndrome and non PCO high responder. Methods and Materials: PubMed and Medline were searched from January 2000 till end of May 2014. This Study investigates whether the mild protocol is associated to prevent severe OHSS in infertile female. Results: According to this survey, 9 studies were included and ...

One hundred and one patients with sustained unimorphic ventricular tachycardia underwent programmed ventricular stimulation with one of two protocols. Fifty patients underwent programmed stimulation with protocol A, which consisted of burst overdrive pacing, single, double, and triple extrastimuli at the right ventricular apex, right ventricular outflow tract, or septum, and then at the left ve...

Background: This study aims to verify if luteal estradiol pre-treatment improves IVF/ICSI outcomes in a GnRH antagonist protocol as compared to a micro dose GnRH agonist protocol in poor-responding patients. Materials and Methods: A total of 116 IVF/ICSI cycles were included in this prospective randomized clinical trial. The selected women were randomly assigned to receive an estradiol pre-trea...

Introduction: Low-frequency stimulation (LFS) has a delaying effect on kindled seizures acquisition. In the present study we examined the role of galanin receptors in the inhibitory effects of LFS on kindled seizures induced by electrical stimulation of perforant path. Methods: Animals were stimulated daily at the AD threshold intensity with a rapid kindling procedure. LFS was applied immed...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the double-stimulation protocol efficacy over conventional ovarian stimulation in recovering a more adequate number of oocytes and increase the number of embryos to be transferred or to be genetically analyzed. METHODS A retrospective and comparative study with 13 patients who underwent unsuccessful in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles with a conventional antagonist ovari...

Abstract Study question Is the cost per oocyte lower in antagonist ovarian stimulation protocol vs progestin primed donation program? Summary answer The is program What known already 1. use of progesterone during effective blocking LH surge, and it does not affect number oocytes collected or quality embryos obtained. Progestins can be used orally are less expensive than GnRH analogues. These ne...

[Purpose] To investigate the effectiveness of three different neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) protocols for the deep lumbar stabilizing muscles of patients with lumbar degenerative kyphosis (LDK). [Subjects and Methods] Twenty patients with LDK were recruited. Three stimulation protocols were investigated: stimulation of the abdominal muscles (protocol A); stimulation of the lumbar ...
