Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the causes and different modalities used for management of subfertile patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). The study comprised of 74 infertile women with FMF. All patients were diagnosed as having FMF. All patients underwent a full infertility work-up. They were scheduled to expectant treatment, ovulation induction and timed intercourse, intrauterine insemination or intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Anovulation was reported in 18 patients (24.32%). Anovulation was due to polycystic ovary syndrome in 12 (16.22%) cases and due to other causes in six patients (8.11%). Excessive clear peritoneal fluid was present in 56 (57.67%) and male-factor infertility was present in 14 couples (18.91%). Ovulation induction and timed intercourse was adopted for a maximum of six cycles and intrauterine insemination for three cycles. In vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection was needed in six cases using standard long agonist protocol. Twenty-six women became pregnant. The causes of infertility in patients with FMF are not different from those expected in the general population. Treatment of the problem should be causal, adopting the conventional lines of treatment up to in vitro fert...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.
