Article Synopsis
- The study explores the effects of calcitriol (active vitamin D) on dopamine receptors in healthy adults, utilizing a randomized, double-blind design with PET scans before and after amphetamine administration.
- Findings indicate that calcitriol enhances dopamine receptor availability in certain brain regions (ventral striatum and dorsal putamen) and influences dopamine release after amphetamine.
- These results suggest a potential role for vitamin D in targeting dopaminergic function, which may be relevant for treating disorders with dopamine dysregulation.
Objective: To determine whether the adjunctive administration of aminophylline and magnesium sulfate to mothers at risk for preterm birth can reduce the rate of intraventricular hemorrhage in neonates born at less than 30 weeks of gestation.
Study Design: A prospective study was conducted to determine whether the rate of intraventricular hemorrhage was different in patients at risk for preterm delivery treated with ritodrine, magnesium sulfate, aminophylline, and corticosteroids (group A) versus patients treated with ritodrine and corticosteroids (group B). During the study period (January 1996 to December 2001), 125 patients enrolled in the study.
The aim of this prospective, randomized trial was to compare the clinical results and the cost-effectiveness of urinary FSH (uFSH) and recombinant FSH (rFSH) in ovarian stimulation for intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients. One-hundred and seventy PCOS infertile patients undergoing IUI were enrolled, and protocols of ovarian stimulation with uFSH or rFSH were randomly assigned. The total number of cycles performed was 379 (182 and 197, respectively).
