Systematic Review: Investigating the Impact of COVID-19 on Mental Health Outcomes of Individuals With ADHD.

Background: According to the WHO, the COVID-19 pandemic could have a negative impact on the mental health of individuals, such as an exacerbation of existing difficulties. Individuals with ADHD may be specifically challenged by the pandemic.

Aims: To provide a systematic review of evidence regarding the COVID-19's impact on mental health of individuals with ADHD during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Reproductive outcome using a GnRH antagonist (cetrorelix) for luteolysis and follicular synchronization in poor responder IVF/ICSI patients treated with a flexible GnRH antagonist protocol.

To investigate the possible beneficial effect of a new stimulation protocol (termed 'CRASH') on the outcome of poor responder patients, a multicentre, prospective longitudinal study including a total of 36 women undergoing 72 IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles with patients serving as their own controls, was conducted. A poor responder patient was defined as a patient with four or fewer oocytes extracted from five or fewer follicles and with a total FSH consumption exceeding 2000 IU in a preceding long agonist down-regulation protocol. The CRASH protocol included 3 mg of the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist cetrorelix given in the late luteal phase on cycle day 23.

High ratings of satisfaction with fertility treatment are common: findings from the Copenhagen Multi-centre Psychosocial Infertility (COMPI) Research Programme.

Background: The aims were: (i). to identify gender differences in evaluation of medical and patient-centred (psychosocial) care in fertility clinics and (ii). to identify predictors of satisfaction.

Time interval between FSH priming and aspiration of immature human oocytes for in-vitro maturation: a prospective randomized study.

This prospective randomized controlled study was performed to examine the influence of coasting for 2 days versus 3 days following a fixed daily dose of FSH for 3 days. The outcome was 2-fold. In the first experiment (n = 50 cycles), the incidence of apoptosis in granulosa cells was compared.

Patients' attitudes to medical and psychosocial aspects of care in fertility clinics: findings from the Copenhagen Multi-centre Psychosocial Infertility (COMPI) Research Programme.

Background: The aims were (i) to identify gender differences in motivations to seek assisted reproduction and gender differences in expectations about medical and psychosocial services and (ii) to examine factors that predict the perceived importance of, and intention to use, psychosocial services among infertile people.

Methods: We conducted an epidemiological study based on questionnaires among all new couples attending five fertility clinics with a response rate of 80.0% and a total of 2250 patients.

Maternal serum supplementation in culture medium benefits maturation of immature human oocytes.

This study compared the rates of maturation, fertilization, cleavage and pregnancy among oocytes matured in medium containing either human serum albumin (HSA) or maternal serum. Immature oocytes were obtained from 51 consecutive regularly cycling women <38 years of age. Immature oocytes were aspirated transvaginally on cycle day 8-9 after priming with FSH (Gonal-F 150 IU/day for 3 days, initiated on day 3).

[The first 100 early medical abortions].

Early medical abortion was introduced in Denmark in 1998. This article describes our experiences with the first 100 patients at Herlev University Hospital. The regimen was 600 mg mifepriston (RU486) given orally on day one.

[Prophylactic use of prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors in connection with IUD insertion].

In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study conducted at a contraception clinic, 55 women (three nulliparous) were given either ibuprofen 600 mg or placebo 1-4 hours prior to insertion of IUD, 4-6 hours after insertion of IUD and the following morning. Pain was assessed by ten point Numerical Rating Scales during insertion, in the first 4-6 hours and in the following three days. No benefit of ibuprofen was demonstrated at insertion or at any other time during the first three days.

[The antiprogesterone preparation mifepristone (RU 486). Should this "abortion pill" be introduced in Denmark?].

The antiprogesterone mifepristone (RU 486) was synthesized in 1980 by Roussel-Uclaf (Paris). Since 1982 several studies have examined the ability of the drug to interrupt early pregnancies. 600 mg of mifepristone given by mouth to pregnant women with an amenorrhea of less than 50 days will lead to vaginal bleeding in more than 97% of the cases.

Serious intestinal complication five years after insertion of a Nova-T.

This report presents a case of sigmoid perforation five years after insertion of a Nova-T. This case illustrates that serious complications of third generation IUDs may occur even after several years of intraabdominal location. An IUD, which has perforated the uterus, cannot be left in the peritoneal cavity.

[Diagnosis and treatment of women with urinary incontinence at Danish gynecologic departments].

The routine practice in the diagnosis and treatment of urinary incontinence was investigated by means of a questionnaire to which all 32 departments replied. Miction charts were employed routinely in 17 departments and for selected patients in eight departments. Weighing of diapers was employed in 13 departments for all patients investigated for incontinence, but only for selected patients in ten departments.

Risk factors and sib correlation in physiological neonatal jaundice.

The effect of a number of explanatory variables on the degree of physiological jaundice in mature infants was evaluated by multiple regression analysis. The sampling was designed so that comparisons could be made between siblings. We found an effect of gestational age, gender, infant nutrition, ABO incompatibility and induction of labour.

Clinical value of pregnancy-specific beta 1-glycoprotein (SP1) and beta-hCG determination in serum in suspected ectopic pregnancy.

We compared the clinical value of pregnancy-specific beta 1-glycoprotein (SP1) determination in serum by means of a highly sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) versus that of beta human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) determination in suspected ectopic pregnancy. The study comprised 58 women admitted consecutively with suspected ectopic pregnancy but without signs warranting immediate surgical intervention. Both SP1 and beta-hCG were found in 11 patients with ectopic pregnancy and in 8 patients with early intra-uterine pregnancy, whereas beta-hCG was detected in 4 and SP1 in 7 of 8 women with a recent abortion.

Phenoxybenzamine reduces bladder outlet obstruction in benign prostatic hyperplasia. A urodynamic investigation.

Nine patients with bladder outlet obstruction attributable to benign prostatic hyperplasia were treated with 15 mg of phenoxybenzamine daily. Spontaneous urinary flow, water cystometry, simultaneous pressure-flow-EMG, and the urethral closure pressure profile were measured before and at the end of 4 weeks of treatment with phenoxybenzamine. A significant reduction in residual urine volume and a significant increase in the first sensation and bladder capacity were found.

Bladder function after abdominoperineal resection of the rectum for anorectal cancer. Urodynamic investigation before and after operative in a consecutive series.

In a consecutive series of 26 patients (10 men and 16 women) undergoing abdominoperineal resection of the rectum, cystometry and pressure-flow-EMG measurements were made preoperatively and three and 6-12 months after operation. Two patients developed neurogenic bladder paresis (7.7%, 95% c.
