Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of beta tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) alone compared to β-TCP and Demineralized Bone Matrix (DBM) in regenerating localized horizontal maxillary alveolar ridge deficiencies prior to implant placement.
Study Design: The study included 20 patients with horizontal maxillary ridge deficiencies limited to one or more neighbouring teeth and initial ridge width of ≤ 5mmm. Patients were divided equally into two equal groups.
Purpose: Because of the accompanying increase in estrogen levels, safety of performing in vitro fertilization (IVF) in women with breast cancer is unknown. Our goal was to determine the effect of controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) using a combination of letrozole with standard fertility medications on disease-free survival in women undergoing embryo or oocyte cryopreservation before adjuvant chemotherapy.
Patients And Methods: A total of 215 women with breast cancer were prospectively evaluated for fertility preservation before adjuvant chemotherapy.
Context: Breast cancer patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) for embryo or oocyte cryopreservation should be induced by the method that leads to the least increase in estradiol (E(2)) levels.
Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the potency of anastrozole to suppress serum E(2) levels in breast cancer patients undergoing COH.
Design And Setting: A prospective sequential cohort study was conducted in an academic center for reproductive medicine between May 2003 and November 2005 for letrozole and between December 2005 and April 2006 for anastrozole.
