background: determination of oocyte fertilization and embryo quality are one of the most important purposes in art cycles. follicular fluid provides an important microenvironment for development of oocytes and some biochemical characteristics of the follicular fluid, such as pregnancy-associated plasma protein-a (papp-a), may play an important role in prediction of success rate of art. objectiv...

objectives: to evaluate the effect of two simultaneous protocols in reducing recovery time and assessment of adverse effects of different fluid replacement therapy in management of diabetic ketoacidosis. materials and methods: in this randomized clinical trial study, two standard protocols were chosen to evaluate recovery time and incidence of dka complications. results: 18 subjects who had sev...

Introduction: The ability of quadratic dose protocol to maintain a good quality image for an overweight and obese patient is well reported. However, a practical approach to the implementation of this protocol in whole-body imaging in Malaysia is currently lacking. Hence, the aim of this study is to derive the quadratic dose formula that suits our PET system. Metho...

The goal of ovarian Stimulation for assisted reproductive technologies (ART) is obtaining multifollicular growth ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS) is one of the most Severe and also potentially Life-threatening complications, which happens in 1-10% of IVF cycles. The most common risk factors which are related to OHSS are polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), younger age, high preovulatory...

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...

background: for effective treatment of organophosphate (op) poisoning, development of a standardized protocol with flexible dose regimen for atropine and pralidoxime is an essential step. in this study, we aimed to assess the protocol devised in our setting; bach mai hospital poison treatment center, for treatment of op poisoning that included a higher dose regimen of pralidoxime (2pam). method...

in mobile ad hoc networks, the absence ofinfrastructure and the consequent absence of authorizationfacilities impede the usual practice of establishing a practicalcriterion to distinguishing nodes as trusted and distrusted.since all nodes in the manets would be used as router inmulti-hop applications, secure routing protocols have vital rulein the security of the network. so evaluating the perf...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) applications have spread all over the world. In order to provide their security and privacy, researchers proposed different kinds of protocols. In this paper, we analyze the privacy of a new protocol, proposed by Yu-Jehn in 2015 which is based on Electronic Product Code Class1 Generation 2 (EPC C1 G2) standard. By applying the Ouafi_Phan privacy model, we s...

background: premature luteinization during in vitro fertilization was commonly happened before the introduction of gnrh analogues. high level of unwanted progesterone is associated with adverse pregnancy outcome and is thought to be induced by inappropriate lh elevation.objective: to evaluate the progesterone level on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) triggering in gnrh agonist and ...
