abstract background: in order to evaluate the role ofketoconazole in the prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) undergoing ovarian stimulation with gonadotropins, a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study was done on one-hundred and nine pcos women that had been refeited to be treated by gonadotropins. method...

The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy in- vitro fertilization, and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in patients with hyper-response Ovarian Stimulation for intrauterine insemination (IUI). A Retrospective study, conducted Ferty9 Fertility Center. Rescue IVF-ET offered forty seven IUI cycles having excessive follicular development patient consent. Patients were counseled IVF conversion whe...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Overcoming chronic hemiparesis from a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) can be challenging for many patients, especially after the first 12 months after the CVA. With the use of established motor control theories, the present study investigated electromyogram (EMG)-triggered neuromuscular stimulation and bilateral coordination training. METHODS Twenty-five CVA subjects vol...

OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to compare the results of fixed versus flexible GnRH antagonist protocols in controlled ovarian stimulation for Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) in patients with PCOS. MATERIALS AND METHODS A randomized clinical trial was performed on 100 PCOS women, who were admitted to a tertiary infertility clinic and were candidate for IVF/ICSI. They were divided...

Restoration of movement following spinal cord injury (SCI) has been achieved using electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves and skeletal muscles. However, practical limitations such as the rapid onset of muscle fatigue hinder clinical application of these technologies. Recently, direct stimulation of alpha motor neurons has shown promise for evoking graded, controlled, and sustained muscle c...

The ovarian stimulation has been applied in order to increase the number of oocytes to compensate for the poor results of in vitro fertilization, allowing the selection of one or more embryos to be transferred. Our aim is to compare the results obtained in IVF/ICSI cycles using the short protocol for controlled ovarian stimulation to the results from the modified mild protocol used in our depar...

The induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampal CA1 region requires both presynaptic activity and large postsynaptic depolarization. A standard protocol for inducing LTP using whole-cell recording is to pair low-frequency synaptic stimulation (100-200 pulses, 1-2 Hz) with a depolarizing voltage-clamp pulse (1-3 min duration). In this standard protocol, a Cs(+)-based internal so...
