Competence of Combined Low Dose of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) and Clomiphene Citrate (CC) Versus Continued CC during Ovulation Induction in Women with CC-Resistant Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a widespread endocrine disorder affecting 5-18% of females in their childbearing age. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of combining a low dosage of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) along with clomiphene citrate (CC) for stimulating ovulation in infertile women diagnosed with CC-resistant PCOS. : A randomized controlled trial was carried out on 300 infertile CC-resistant PCOS women.

A novel triad for the diagnosis of endometriosis, the short anogenital distance combines with high endometrial BCL2 and low endometrial FASL.

Objective: To investigate the anogenital distance from the upper verge of the anus to the posterior fourchette (AGD), FASL, and BCL2 combination as a reliable and non-invasive tool for the diagnosis of endometriosis.

Methods: This study included 100 women with endometriosis and 50 women without endometriosis as the control group. All cases underwent history taking, body mass index (BMI) measurement, AGD measurement, and FASL and BCL2 immunohistochemical staining of the eutopic endometrial tissue.

Is uterine depth measurement by trans-vaginal ultrasound alone as accurate as measurement carried out by trans-abdominal ultrasound-guided trial transfer?

Objectives: To assess the reliability of trans-vaginal-scan (TVS) in measuring the uterine depth (UD) in comparison with ultrasound-guided trial-transfer (UTT).

Methods: This prospective study was conducted in 66 consecutive patients undergoing in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). The study took place in a private IVF center in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia between November 2013 and January 2014.

Trichorionic quadruplet delivered beyond 36 weeks of gestation: a case report and literature review.

Following one year of secondary fertility, a couple conceived with a quadruplet after transfer of three embryos through IVF-ICSI. At 36 weeks and 2 days of gestation, the mother developed gestational induced hypertension and delivered the next day by caesarean section. Pathology confirmed the zygosity to be trichorionic quadramniotic and all four babies were discharged home with their mother on postoperative day 3.

Predictors of cesarean section following elective post-dates induction of labor in nullipara with uncomplicated singleton vertex pregnancies.

Objective: Although post-dates is among the most common indications for induction of labor, no studies have identified the predictors of cesarean section (C/S) in that population. The high cesarean rate in our institution for this group of women triggered us to assess different induction practices to elicit potential causes.

Methods: We conducted a hospital-based retrospective cohort analysis using chart reviews of all nullipara women with induced labor at the Children's and Women's Health Centre of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, during the 2-year period, April 1998 to March 2000.
