Objective: Ovarian stimulation (OS) with high daily gonadotropin doses are commonly offered to patients attempting social/elective egg freezing. However, the optimal daily gonadotropin dose that would allow a higher oocyte yield in the successive IVF cycle attempt was not settled and should be determined.
Patients And Methods: Data from all women admitted to our IVF unit for social/EEF, who underwent two consecutive IVF cycle attempts, with only those who used in the first attempt a starting daily gonadotropin dose of 300IU were analyzed.
Background: Low serum magnesium (sMg) is associated with cardiovascular risk factors and atherosclerotic disease.
Objective: To evaluate the association between sMg levels on admission and clinical outcomes in hospitalized non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of all patients admitted to a single tertiary center with a primary diagnosis of NSTEMI.
Objective: Adherence to treatment regimen is a key factor in the success of Growth Hormone (GH) therapy. Our objective was to assess the long time adherence to treatment in a large cohort of patients.
Design: It is a retrospective study.
Background: Hypertension (HTN) is associated with coronary artery calcification (CAC). We hypothesized that preexisting CAC is associated with the development of HTN.
Methods: This study included 483 normotensive subjects (mean age 54 years, 83% males) who underwent a baseline evaluation of their CAC score with ungated dual-section computed tomography during 2001-2002 and returned for at least the first annual follow-up.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic heart failure (CHF) leads to frequent hospital visits and has a poor long-term outlook; a single-center day care service provided care for CHF patients over five years.* -
- The service treated 190 patients, mainly with advanced CHF, using various intravenous medications and managed to maintain a low rehospitalization rate of 0.68 per patient per year while monitoring their overall health.* -
- The study suggests that this supportive day care service may lower morbidity and mortality rates in advanced CHF patients through effective treatment and comprehensive patient support.*
