Cardiovascular autonomic and peripheral sensory neuropathy in women with obesity.

Introduction: A higher incidence of neural dysfunction in people with obesity has been described. We determined the prevalence of neuropathic lesions in obese women and evaluated their potential association with anthropometric and laboratory parameters.

Patients And Methods: In our cross-sectional study, we enrolled female patients with obesity and without diabetes before obesity treatment.

Associated perinatal determinants of vanishing twin pregnancies achieved by in vitro fertilization vs. spontaneous conception.

Purpose: To evaluate whether vanishing twin (VT) pregnancies following spontaneous conception have a more adverse perinatal outcome than those conceived after assisted reproduction techniques.

Methods: The retrospective cohort study consisted of 316 VT pregnancies derived from a hospital database between January 1994 and January 2016 (81 after IVF/ICSI and 235 after spontaneous conception).

Results: VT was significantly more prevalent after spontaneous conception (in 22.

Prevalences and pregnancy outcome of vanishing twin pregnancies achieved by in vitro fertilization versus natural conception.

Objective: To evaluate whether vanishing twin (VT) pregnancies achieved by in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ICSI) had a more adverse perinatal outcome than those after natural conception.

Design: Longitudinal, retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Tertiary university hospital.

Pregnancy Rate after Controlled Ovarian Hyperstimulation and Intrauterine Insemination for the Treatment of Endometriosis following Surgery.

Objective: To compare pregnancy rate after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and intrauterine insemination (COH-IUI) with no treatment in patients with endometriosis-associated infertility treated with laparoscopy.

Design: A clinical cohort study.

Setting: University-level tertiary care center.
