PURPOSE: To establish an index to predict ART outcomes and to identify infertile patients who need LH supplementation during ovarian stimulation. METHODS: Serum LH concentrations were measured during the mid- and late-follicular phase in 8…
AIM: To clarify the effect of laparoscopic cystectomy for ovarian endometrioma in infertility patients, the pregnancy outcome was evaluated. METHODS: This was a retrospective study. From August 2002 to February 2006, 33 infertility patient…
AIM: Women with unexplained infertility frequently become pregnant after diagnostic laparoscopy. In this study the effect of laparoscopic surgery on such women was evaluated by the pregnancy rate after laparoscopic surgery. METHODS: A tota…
Aim: The aim of the present study was to establish a standard protocol for ovarian stimulation with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog (GnRH-a) long protocol using recombinant-follicle stimulating hormone (rec-FSH) preparations for assi…
PURPOSE: Intraovarian arterial blood flows before and after follicular rupture in ovulation induced cycles were examined by transvaginal color flow Doppler imaging. The changes observed in the intraovarian arterial resistance before and aft…
PURPOSE: To demonstrate our hypothesis that a correlation exists between oocyte maturity and a decrease in intraovarian blood flow resistance in assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment cycles, oocyte maturity and total antioxidant …
PURPOSE: Color Doppler imaging permits the accurate localization of vessels and high-frequency pulsed Doppler ultrasonography has improved the resolution of flow velocity waveforms. In this study, intraovarian arterial blood flow before and…
