Exercise Induced Myoglobinuria is Determined by Haptoglobin Polymorphism.

Background: In professional soccer players (n = 27), confounders of quantitative myoglobinuria following physical training were assessed in order to improve interpretation of post-exercise myoglobinuria.

Methods: Urine samples were collected in the morning before training sessions, 48 to 72 hours following a game. Urine myoglobin was assayed using immunoturbidimetry.

Correlation between sonographic follow-up of follicular growth, serum and salivary estradiol in women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation (IVF/ICSI).

Aim Of The Study: Investigation of the correlation between serum estradiol (E2), salivary E2 and sonographic measurements of follicles in women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) for IVF/ICSI.

Methods: This is a prospective study performed at the Department of Reproductive Medicine of Ghent University Hospital (Belgium) between November 2016 and January 2017 over a total of 40 patients. During routine COS, two-dimensional measurements of the follicles were performed using transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and E2 was measured in saliva and serum.

Correlation between follicle dimensions recorded by patients at home (SOET) versus ultrasound performed by professional care providers.

Introduction: Serial measurements of the number of follicles and their growth by ultrasound is a standard way of monitoring fertility treatments using controlled ovarian stimulation. This is stressful for both the patient and the professional. Self-operated endovaginal telemonitoring (SOET) is more patient friendly and less time-consuming.
