objective: to compare the pregnancy outcomes achieved by in vitro fertilization (ivf) between minimal stimulation and conventional antagonist protocols in poor ovarian responders (pors). materials and methods: in this randomized controlled trial, 77 pors undergoing ivf were selected and divided into two groups. first group was the minimal stimulation group (n = 42) receiving 100 mg/day clomiphe...

AIM To determine whether minimal stimulation with clomiphene and gonadotropin provides outcomes and direct costs comparable with those of a conventional GnRHa-gonadotropin stimulation protocol for infertile patients undergoing in vitro fertilization. METHODS A non-randomized clinical trial was conducted from 1 July 1996 to 31 March 2003 at the Infertility and Assisted Reproductive Unit, Ramat...

introduction: although hippocampus is the most famous brain area involved in temporal lobe epilepsy, hippocampal kindling (hk) develops very slowly. hence, rapid kindling is usually preferred to the traditional kindling and it is widely used. in this article we aimed at finding the optimal stimulus pattern, which yields the fastest hk rate. methods: stimulus patterns with different duration (2,...

background: poor ovarian response to controlled ovarian stimulation is one of the most important interest points in assisted reproduction. mild ovarian stimulation seems to be preferable to high dose of fsh regimens in women with a history of poor ovarian response in previous protocol. clomiphene citrate and letrozole alone or in combination with fsh have been used in mild ovarian stimulation p...

PCOS is still a problem in gynecology and infertility. Especially in ART the problem of PCOS patients is bigger and more highlighted. These patients are prone to over and under stimulation. Strategies to overcome hyper stimulation are: use of metformin, ovarian drilling, use of minimal stimulation, suppressing LH with use of OCP or GnRh analogues, use of GnRh antagonist in COH. But none of thes...

OBJECTIVE To compare the pregnancy outcomes achieved by in vitro fertilization (IVF) between minimal stimulation and conventional antagonist protocols in poor ovarian responders (PORs). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this randomized controlled trial, 77 PORs undergoing IVF were selected and divided into two groups. First group was the minimal stimulation group (n = 42) receiving 100 mg/day clomiphe...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether minimal stimulation with clomiphene and one injection of 150 IU of human menopausal gonadotrophin (hMG) provides pregnancy rates comparable with those in a conventional full hMG stimulation protocol for infertile patients undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI). METHODS A prospective study was carried out at the Infertility Clinic of a teaching institute and ...

background: to compare a flexible, multi-dose gnrh antagonist protocol with a long gnrh .agonist protocol in poor respo materials and methods: a randomized clinical trial of 70 poor responder patients (35 patients in gnrh antagonist protocol and 35 patients in long gnrh agonist protocol) was performed at royan institute, tehran, iran. both groups were given a fixed dose of human menopausal gona...

abstract physical injuries during taekwondo competitions often happen due to physical contacts during fighting; therefore, a training protocol was designed in line with the physiological stress of a real competition according to la, hr and rpe changes so that the athletes could perform the techniques with a pad instead of a real opponent. for this purpose, 12 professional taekwondo players from...
