Formulation of monocrotophos.

Monocrotophos is an old product that is still very much appreciated as a low-cost and efficient insecticide. Due to its water solubility, formulation recipes are rather simple and no sophisticated equipment is required in a formulation plant. Formulations can easily be manufactured locally where they are going to be used.

[Induction of follicle maturation with "pure" FSH in polycystic ovary syndrome].

The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCO) is characterised by an elevated ratio of serum LH to FSH in presence of an intrafollicular deficiency of FSH activity. Ovulation induction by "pure" FSH seems therefore a reasonable approach to longstanding chronic anovulation in infertile patients suffering from PCO. 68 treatment cycles have been conducted in 30 patients with PCO and chronic clomiphene-resistant anovulation.
