Serum oestradiol FSH ratio to predict poor responders among patients undergoing IVF and ICSI
Objective: The aim of this work was to evaluate the plasma E2/FSH ratio as an index of ovarian stimulation response and a predictor of poor response in patients undergoing IVF and ICSI treatment, compared to plasma E2 or FSH alone. Design: Stepwise regression analysis in a group of patients attending ART procedures in year 2000. […]
Low Dose of Ethinyl Estradiol Can Reverse the Antiestrogenic Effects of Clomiphene Citrate
Fifty healthy, voluntary patients aged between 20 and 30 years with regular menstruation and plasmatic progesterone level 110 ng/ml at the midluteal phase have been enrolled in this study. They were randomly treated with clomiphene citrate (CC; group A) or CC + ethinyl estradiol (0.05 mg group B, or 0.02 mg group C). We estimated […]

Use of ethinyl estradiol to reverse the antiestrogenic effects of clomiphene citrate in patients undergoing intrauterine insemination
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of clomiphene citrate used alone and in combination with ethinyl E2 for the induction of ovulation in patients undergoing IUI. Design: Randomized, double-blind study. Setting: Four infertility treatment centers. Patient(s): Women aged 25–35 years with infertility of at least 2 years’ duration and oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea associated with a positive […]
Use of Intramuscular Progesterone versus Intravenous Albumin for the Prevention of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome
This study was designed to compare the effectiveness of intramuscular progesterone with that of intravenous albumin in the prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Ninety-six patients at high risk to develop OHSS (estradiol concentration 19,000 pmol/l on the day of hCG administration and over 20 follicles of a diameter larger than 14 mm observed by […]

Trattamento della ipercontrattilità uterina in gravidanza e riduzione del rischio di parto prematuro
La prematurità rimane la principale causa di morte perinatale in bambini non malformati. II parto prematuro ha una incidenza del 6-10% ma è responsabile di oltre il 60% < della mortalità perinatale. Tale incidenza di parto prematuro negli ultimi 10 anni a dispetto dell a disponibilità di numerosi agenti tocolitici e rimasta invariata. Vi sono […]
Luteal Phase Support with 17·-Hydroxyprogesterone versus Unsupported Cycles in in vitro Fertilization: A Comparative Randomized Study
This study was designed to determine the efficacy of 17·-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17-OHPc) for luteal phase support in in vitro fertilization (IVF). For this purpose, a total of 86 IVF patients undergoing embryo transfer were randomly allocated to two groups as follows: (1) group A, including 43 patients who received the support of luteal phase through […]

La determinazione dei corpi lamellari amniotici come metodica alternativa per la diagnosi di maturità polmonare fetale
Nel corso di uno studio eseguito per valutare diverse metodiche per la diagnosi di maturità polmonare fetale con i metodi classici (Shake test, 00650, rapporto Lecitina/Sfingomielina per TLC), abbiamo sperimentato un metodo alternativo, rappresentato dalla valutazione dei corpi lamellari amniotici che possono essere determinati con il Coulter Counter. La nostra casistica è rappresentata da 45 […]
