Pregnancy Rate after Controlled Ovarian Hyperstimulation and Intrauterine Insemination for the Treatment of Endometriosis following Surgery.

Objective: To compare pregnancy rate after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and intrauterine insemination (COH-IUI) with no treatment in patients with endometriosis-associated infertility treated with laparoscopy.

Design: A clinical cohort study.

Setting: University-level tertiary care center.

Magnetic resonance vs. sonographic imaging: diagnostics of a large congenital pulmonary airway malformation.

Sonographic scan revealed a homogenously hyperechogenic lesion in the right fetal lung with microcystic pattern by a primigravid women at 22nd weeks of gestation. A large congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) was suspected with a lesion-to-lung ratio over 90%. The microcystic image of this thoracic anomaly was moderately visible on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at that early stage of the pregnancy.

Antiphospholipid antibodies in relation to sterility/infertility.

Of the systemic autoimmune diseases that lead to sterility/infertility, antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) has an outstanding importance; it may be associated with abortion and premature birth which are included in its diagnostic criteria, as well as preeclampsia, pregnancy-induced hypertension, foetal retardation, miscarriage, stillbirth and sterility. Between 2004 and 2009, on the Department of Immunology in the Zala County Hospital, 100 female patients with sterility (st)/infertility (if) (33/67), (mean age: 34.08 years) underwent, in addition to history taking and physical examination, an assessment by immune-serologic tests (ANA, anti-dsDNA, ENA-Profile, anti-TPO, a-sperm, aCL, aPS, aβ2GP1, aANX, and aPT).

[Comparative study of the efficiency of gonadotrope releasing hormone (GnRH) analogs for the treatment of endometriosis].

Introduction: Endometriosis is one of the most common gynaecological conditions in women of reproductive age. The aim of the authors' study was to compare the relative safety, efficacy and side effects of nafarelin and triptorelin.

Patients And Methods: They treated 133 patients for six months and followed up for at least an additional 6 months.
