Menstrual cycle length: a surrogate measure of reproductive health capable of improving the accuracy of biochemical/sonographical ovarian reserve test in estimating the reproductive chances of women referred to ART.
Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/s12958-015-0024-1

BackgroundAim of the study was to investigate whether menstrual cycle length may be considered as a surrogate measure of reproductive health, improving the accuracy of biochemical/sonographical ovarian reserve test in estimating the reprodu…

Pretreatment with oral contraceptive pills to identify poor responders that may benefit from rLH supplementation during GnRH-antagonist treatment for IVF: A pilot perspective study proposal.
Experimental and therapeutic medicine ·doi:10.3892/etm.2015.2734

Controlled ovarian stimulation, using a gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol, is a potential treatment option for women with a low response to other fertility treatments as it appears to be at least as effective as GnR…

Recombinant LH supplementation during IVF cycles with a GnRH-antagonist in estimated poor responders: A cross-matched pilot investigation of the optimal daily dose and timing.
Molecular medicine reports ·doi:10.3892/mmr.2015.3904

Although it is widely accepted that patients, who are considered poor responders to in vitro fertilization (IVF) benefit from recombinant luteinizing hormone (rLH) supplementation during an in vitro fertilization cycle, particularly when go…

Statins as Targeted “Magical Pills” for the Conservative Treatment of Endometriosis: May Potential Adverse Effects on Female Fertility Represent the “Dark Side of the Same Coin”? A Systematic Review of Literature
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719115584446

The aim of the study was to analyze all the available evidence from both in vitro and in vivo studies regarding the efficacy of statin therapy in the treatment of endometriosis, evaluating the potential efficacy, side effects, and contraind…
