Comparison of urodynamic volume measurements using room and body temperature saline: a double-blinded randomized crossover study design.

Introduction: Urodynamic studies, routinely performed in women with lower urinary tract symptoms, have a large impact on clinical decision making. Unfortunately, these studies are insensitive in reproducing idiopathic detrusor overactivity (IDO). We set out to examine whether serial cystometry with different distending fluid temperatures could better reproduce symptoms.

Gynecologic emergencies.

Gynecologic emergencies are relatively common and include ectopic pregnancies, adnexal torsion, tubo-ovarian abscess, hemorrhagic ovarian cysts, gynecologic hemorrhage, and vulvovaginal trauma. The purpose of this article is to provide a concise review of these emergencies, focusing on the evaluation and treatment options for the patient. In many cases, other causes of an acute abdomen are in the differential diagnosis.

A luteal estradiol protocol for anticipated poor-responder patients may improve delivery rates.

Objective: To compare IVF data and outcomes between a standard protocol and a luteal phase E(2) protocol.

Design: Retrospective cohort analysis.

Setting(s): Large academic assisted reproduction technologies center.

A luteal estradiol protocol for expected poor-responders improves embryo number and quality.

Objective: To compare embryo and oocyte data between a standard protocol and a luteal phase estradiol protocol.

Design: Retrospective paired cohort analysis.

Setting: Private in vitro fertilization (IVF) center.

Low-dose aspirin use does not improve in vitro fertilization outcomes in poor responders.

Objective: To assess if aspirin improves pregnancy outcome in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) with a diagnosis of poor response.

Design: Retrospective cohort analysis.

Setting: Academic private practice.

Changes in measured endometrial thickness predict in vitro fertilization success.

Objective: To assess the predictive ability of endometrial thickness and changes in endometrial thickness on pregnancy outcomes in patients undergoing IVF.

Design: Retrospective cohort analysis.

Setting: Academic IVF center.

Surgical competence of obstetrics and gynecology residents performing microsurgical tubal anastamoses.

Objective: To assess tubal patency rates after microsurgical tubal anastamosis in a residency program.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort analysis. Primary outcome measurement was tubal patency rates.
