Clinical and ultrasonographic parameters in assessment of labor induction success in nulliparous women.

Evaluation of simplified Bishop score and ultrasound cervicometry in the assessment of labor induction success in nulliparous women. Prospective cohort study included 146 nulliparous women with singleton pregnancy and indications for labor induction. Prior to labor induction, cervicometry and Bishop score were determined.

Influence of adiposity on leptin, LH and androgen levels in lean, overweight and obese PCOS patients.

Background: Leptin modulates hypothalamic-pituitary-gohadal axis functions.

Objective: To assess the influence of leptin on LH, and to investigate the potential association of leptin with body mass index (BMI) and androgen concentrations in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Design: Levels of leptin, LH, FSH, E2, testosterone, and androstenedione were measured.

The most frequent hormone dysfunctions in juvenile bleeding.

The main goal of this study was to investigate the precise hormone dysfunction that leads to dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) in adolescent girls so that, with the appropriate therapy, the occurrence of organic dysfunctions of their reproductive function can be prevented. This study included 70 adolescents with DUB aged 14.70 +/- 1.

Endometriosis in a woman with mosaic Turner's syndrome: case report.

The coexistence of endometriosis and Turner's syndrome is extremely rare, and therefore poses certain questions on the mechanisms of endometriosis. We present a case of a 27-year-old woman with Turner's syndrome [(46, X(x) (q10); 45X], primary amenorrhea and menopausal hormonal profile in which peritoneal endometriosis was revealed laparoscopically.

Inhibin B: a potential marker of gonadal activity in patients with anorexia nervosa during weight recovery.

Inhibin B is a product of the gonads and a marker for ovarian follicular development. This was a cross-sectional study designed to assess awakening of the reproductive function by studying secretion pattern of inhibin B during the weight restoration in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN). Twenty patients with AN participated at low weight [body mass index (BMI) 14.
