Live birth rate following endometrial preparation with daily versus depot GnRH agonist.

Background: Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) downregulates gonadotropin secretion in the pituitary gland. It is used both in ovulation induction protocols and in artificial endometrium preparation. Frozen-thawed embryo transfer to artificially prepared endometrium (FET-APE) is a frequent procedure in vitro fertilization (IVF) which requires GnRHa.

Hepatitis A seroprevalence and demographic risk factors in the susceptible population: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: The epidemiology of hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection is influenced by variables such as age, sex, environmental conditions, and vaccination status. This study aimed to evaluate HAV seropositivity after the inclusion of hepatitis A vaccination in the national childhood immunization program and identify demographic risk factors of the susceptible population before routine vaccination.

Patients And Methods: This cross-sectional epidemiological study was conducted by retrospectively examining the laboratory records of patients who underwent HAV serology testing in a tertiary care center in eastern Turkey between 2008 and 2019.

Double daily doses of cetrorelix may raise follicular phase progesterone more compared to single doses in poor ovarian response patients.

Purpose: There is evidence that follicular phase progesterone rise [FPPR] adversely affects fresh in vitro fertilization [IVF] cycles. A single daily dose of cetrorelix has been used to prevent early luteinizing Hormone (LH) surge. We speculated that doubling the daily dose might have a positive effect in patients who have early LH surges despite receiving the single daily dose treatment.

Acute Acalculous Cholecystitis after Measles.

The recent increase in measles cases will result in a higher incidence of associated complications. Hepatobiliary complications are among rare complications of measles. Here, we present a case of measles complicated by acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC), which we believe to be only the second case reported in the literature.
