Background: Anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) could be involved in the abnormal folliculogenesis in the polycystic ovary syndrome which affects 5-10% of women of reproductive age worldwide and is the most common cause of oligoanovulation , infertility , and hyperandrogenism. Materials and Methods: A prospective study included 66 women aged 21-24 years referred for in vitro fertilization (IVF) ,26 pa...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of 125I particle implantation during R2resection for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Data from 23 patients with NSCLC and macroscopic residual diseasefollowing surgery (R2 resection) between March 2010 and May 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Among these patients, 12 patients [4 with T-residual disease (incomplete resectio...

Abstract Background Polymorphism A1298C of the methylenetetrahydrofolate-reductase (MTHFR) gene has been implicated in spontaneous abortion. In this study, we determined the allele and genotype frequencies of this polymorphism in recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) and implantation failure after in vitro fertilization (IVF). Materials and Methods We performed a case–control study on 60 wom...

BACKGROUND Meta-analysis revealed that embryo placement 20 mm from the fundal endometrial surface resulted in higher pregnancy rate, ongoing pregnancy rate, and live birth rate compared with placement 10 mm from the fundal endometrial surface. Pregnancy and implantation rates according to relative position were higher when the catheter tip was positioned close to the middle of the endometrial c...

BACKGROUND Despite major advances in assisted reproductive techniques, the implantation rates remain relatively low. Some studies have demonstrated that intrauterine infusion of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) improves implantation in infertile women. OBJECTIVE To assess the G-CSF effects on IVF outcomes in women with normal endometrial thickness. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this...

IMPORTANCE Pediatric primary posterior intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in children older than 24 months has become the standard of care. Results of the Infantile Aphakia Treatment Study have concluded that primary IOL implantation before age 7 months has no advantages over aphakia. The current evidence does not address our understanding of the risks and benefits of primary IOL implantation ...

Introduction: One of the most common reasons of infertility is un-ovulatory period. Hormone therapy is the most common treatments of this type of infertility. Gonadotropins may exert toxic effects on the molecular organization of uterine surface, such as glycoconjugates. Glycoconjugates are the most important components of the uterine and trophoblast surface playing an important role in embryo ...

Background Implantation failure is the most important cause of recurrent in vitro fertilization/intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) failure. Several reports suggest that intercourse during the peritransfer period might improve pregnancy rates. This study is designed to determine whether intercourse during the peritransfer period will improve pregnancy and implantation rates in patients...

background:   objective: we evaluated the icsi outcome in our program for (htlv-1) serodiscordant couples (sdcs) with the female infected in comparison with control group.   materials and methods: this study was performed between 2007 and 2011 in novin infertility treatment center (mashhad, iran). we examined 32 icsi cycles of htlv-1 infected women in comparison with an age matched control grou...
