Estrogen and progesterone receptors in endometrium in women with unexplained infertility.

Aim: The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the relationship between endometrial concentrations of estrogen and progesterone receptors throughout the menstrual cycle in women with unexplained infertility.

Material And Methods: In forty four infertile women with unexplained infertility, biopsy of the endometrium was performed during simultaneous laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. Material was prepared for immunohistochemical staining.

Correlation between hyperprolactinemia, MRI of hypophysis and clinical presentation in infertile patients.

Unlabelled: The aim of the study was to investigate symptoms of hyperprolactinemia such as oligomenorrhea, amenorrhea, galactorrhea, and correlation between hyperprolactinemia and MRI of hypophysis in infertile women.

Material And Methods: During the 10 years period, we have studied 87 patients investigated for infertility causes and with hyperprolactinemia findings, in our patients we have controled the serum prolactin levels, performed MRI of hypophysis, evaluated menstrual cycle disturbances and galactorrhea. Patients were between 20-43 of age.

Insulin resistance and lipid accumulation product in corelation to body mass index in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Introduction: Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) are at increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and metabolic disorders including: dyslipidaemia, hypertension, insulin resistance, gestational diabetes, type 2 diabetes, systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. The prevalence of obesity and insulin resistance in women with PCOS is significantly higher compared to the general population. Lipid accumulation product is a new, cheap and easily available predictor for metabolic syndrome both in general population and in women with PCOS.

Laparoscopic treatment of ovarian dermoid cysts is a safe procedure.

Experienced laparoscopic surgeons should consider laparoscopy as an alternative to laparotomy in management of ovarian dermoid cysts in selected cases. The aim of this study was to analyze the safety of laparoscopy in ovarian dermoid cysts treatment and risk of chemical peritonitis. We report 63 cases of patients (mean age of 37) with ovarian dermoid cysts originating from the ovary, treated from 2002 to 2010.

Should diagnostic hysteroscopy be a routine procedure during diagnostic laparoscopy in infertile women?

The aim of this study was to clarify the role of simultaneous combined diagnostic approach using laparoscopy and hysteroscopy in the evaluation of female infertility. In a retrospective study, 360 infertile women underwent complete fertility evaluation. All the patients were examined by simultaneous combined laparoscopy and hysteroscopy as a part of the routine infertility evaluation.

[Vaginal application of misoprostol for labor induction after 36 weeks of pregnancy].

Objective: The aim of this study was to confirm efficacy and safety of misoprostol in induction of labour in patients in late pregnancy.

Material And Methods: Misoprostol 50 microg tablets were applied in the posterior vaginal fornix in 130 primigravidae which were (Bishop score 6 or <6) in late pregnancy. In the first group (61 patients), misoprostol was applied every 4 hours, while in the second group (69 patients) every 6 hours.

Clinical outcome and hormone profiles before and after laparoscopic electroincision of the ovaries in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

The aim of study was to evaluate clinical outcome and hormone profiles of laparoscopic electroincision of the ovaries in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) before and after treatment. Forty five clomiphene-citrate resistant women with polycystic ovary syndrome underwent laparoscopic electroincision of the ovaries. Serum levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone (T), androstenedione, 17 OH progesterone and beta endorphins were recorded before and 24 hours after the treatment.

Laparoscopy after previous laparotomy.

Following the abdominal surgery, extensive adhesions often occur and they can cause difficulties during laparoscopic operations. However, previous laparotomy is not considered to be a contraindication for laparoscopy. The aim of this study is to present that an insertion of Veres needle in the region of umbilicus is a safe method for creating a pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopic operations after previous laparotomy.

[Pregnancy after laparoscopic treatment of ovarian endometriotic cysts].

Objective: The aim of study was to present the optimal laparoscopic treatment of the ovarian endometriotic cysts in patients who had been treated of sterility and to present the success of the sterility treatment.

Methods: Ovarian endometriotic cysts do not have proper reaction to hormonal supressive therapy and surgical treatment is required. Laparoscopic cystectomy of ovarian endometriotic cysts using electrocision was performed in 45 patients who previously underwent laboratory tests specific for that type of patients, as well as sperm analysis of their husbands.
