Abstract

To describe and analyse the factors affecting the pregnancy rate of laparoscopic ovarian drilling for polycystic ovarian syndrome in women with anovulatory infertility. A retrospective study. A specialist infertility clinic based at a teaching hospital in England. One hundred and eighteen women, for whom hospital records and follow up data were available, with polycystic ovarian syndrome who underwent laparoscopic ovarian surgery for anovulatory infertility over a five year period, between January 1991 and December 1995. Ovulation and pregnancy rate. The cumulative conception rate 12 months after the treatment was 54%. Women who conceived following the surgery had a shorter duration of infertility, were treated with diathermy (rather than laser), had higher pre-operative luteinising hormone levels, were younger and were more likely to have ultrasonographic evidence of polycystic ovarian disease. Logistic multiple regression analysis showed that the duration of infertility, modality used in treatment (laser or diathermy) and the pre-operative levels were the main determinants of the outcome. Women with polycystic ovarian syndrome respond favourably to laparoscopic ovarian drilling. The success rate in women with infertility dura...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
