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.

Laparoscopic ovarian drilling before IVF/ICSI in polycystic ovarian syndrome patients with high antimullarian hormone.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of performing laparoscopic ovarian drilling [LOD] before proceeding to in vitro fertilization [IVF] or intracytoplasmic sperm injection [ICSI] on the cycle outcomes in polycystic ovarian syndrome [PCOS] patients with high antimullerian hormone [AMH] levels.

Study Design: A retrospective case-control study.

Patients And Methods: The study was conducted in the Fertility Care Unit in our University Hospital.

High FOXA1 immunohistochemical expression level associates with mucinous histology, favorable clinico-pathological prognostic parameters and survival advantage in epithelial ovarian cancer.

Background: Forkhead box (FOX) A1 is a potential therapeutic biomarker that has been investigated in various human cancers. Limited data exist about FOXA1 biologic role in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).

Aim: This study assessed FOXA1 immunohistochemical (IHC) expression and evaluated its association with clinico-pathological parameters in EOC including overall and disease-free survivals (OS, DFS) and patient's outcome.

Minilaparotomy for Excision of a Functioning Noncommunicating Rudimentary Horn and Endometrioma in a Patient with Solitary Kidney: A case report.

Müllerian duct anomalies result from abnormal formation, fusion, or reabsorption of the Müllerian ducts during fetal life. A close embryologic relation exists between the development of the urinary and reproductive organs. Hence, renal tract defects are likely to be found in women with congenital uterine malformation.

Timing of initiation of low-molecular-weight heparin administration in pregnant women with antiphospholipid syndrome: a randomized clinical trial of efficacy and safety.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effect of different timing of initiation of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) administration on the pregnancy outcomes in women with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).

Materials And Methods: A randomized controlled study was conducted on women with obstetrical APS. All participants were randomly divided at documentation of positive pregnancy test into two groups; early initiation group in which LMWH therapy was started once positive pregnancy test was established (in the fifth week of gestation), and later initiation group in which LMWH therapy was started after sonographic confirmation of fetal cardiac pulsation (in the seventh week of gestation).

Early fetal reduction to twin versus prophylactic cervical cerclage for triplet pregnancies conceived with assisted reproductive techniques.

Objective: To compare the obstetric outcomes of triplet gestations managed by early fetal reduction to twins with those managed by prophylactic cervical cerclage in women conceived with assisted reproductive techniques (ART).

Materials And Methods: Retrospective study of the pregnancy and neonatal outcomes of trichorionic triplet gestations achieved by ART and managed either by early transvaginal fetal reduction to twins (n = 53) or by prophylactic placement of cervical cerclage (n = 65).

Results: The pregnancy duration was significantly longer with fetal reduction and the incidences of delivery before 34 and 32 weeks gestational age were significantly lower with fetal reduction.
