Assisted Reproductive Technology Outcomes After Ethanol Sclerotherapy in Poor Responder Patients with Endometriomas: A Before-After Clinical Trial.

Background: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes after ethanol sclerotherapy (EST) in poor responder patients with endometriomas.

Methods: In this before-after clinical trial, the outcomes of ART of 31 poor responders with endometriomas were evaluated after EST between July 2023 to March 2024. These patients had undergone ART at least in one cycle before and did not respond well.

Vaginal discharge concentrations of β-human chorionic gonadotropin, creatinine, and urea for the diagnosis of premature rupture of membranes.

Objective: To determine the diagnostic value of vaginal discharge concentrations of β human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG), creatinine, and urea to identify premature rupture of membranes (PROM).

Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted between 12 June, 2014, and 11 June, 2015, among 120 women who were admitted to an Iranian hospital at 28-41 weeks of pregnancy. Women with positive pooling and nitrazine test results were assigned to the PROM group (n=60), whereas those with negative test results were assigned to the control group (n=60).

Nuclear medicine for imaging of epithelial ovarian cancer.
