To evaluate whether parameters for calcium metabolism were associated with characteristics of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). A prospective cohort study. Ninety-one anovulatory, infertile women PCOS patients underwent clomiphene citrate (CC) stimulation. Main outcome measures parathyroid hormone (PTH); 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25OHD3); serum levels calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, albumin, and total protein; the calcium–phosphorus product; LH; FSH; sexual binding globulin; testosterone;...
Abstract Microvessel density (MVD) and blood lymphatic vessel invasion (BLVI) were investigated with regard to their influence on the disease ‐ free survival (DFS) in node negative breast cancer patients. Paraffin embedded microsections of 230 patients T1,2 NO immunohistochemically stained for factor Vlll related antigen. Every cluster consisting more than highlighted endothelial cells was considered a countable microvessel. MVD counted 4 fields 0.25 mm 2 each. All values are given as value...
Objective. To evaluate the effect of red clover isoflavone supplementation over vasomotor and overall menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal women. Methods. One hundred nine women aged 40 or more were assigned to randomly receive either two daily capsules active compound (80 mg isoflavones, Group A) placebo equal appearance (Group B) for a 90-day period. After washout period 7 days, medication was crossed taken 90 days more. Daily hot flush night sweat frequency symptom intensity (Kupperman...
To evaluate the incidence of endometriosis in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients who did not present with any symptoms and underwent laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) for clomiphene citrate (CC) resistance, 225 630 women CC-resistant PCOS without classic were included a retrospective study meta-analysis, respectively. All LOD. The main outcome parameter was prevalence incidental endometriosis. Laparoscopy revealed 38/225 (16.9%) (revised American Fertility Society (rAFS) stage I:...
Summary The presence of lupus anticoagulant (LA) predisposes to fetal loss and venous arterial thrombosis; however, a subgroup women is unaffected by pregnancy loss. Currently, no predictive markers are available for the identification positive LA at increased risk It was aim our study investigate whether anti-β2-GPI-antibodies predict in LA. We performed cross-sectional cohort 39 with persistent LA, who had total 111 pregnancies. Fifteen exclusively normal pregnancies (30 pregnancies) 24...
Ovarian stimulation in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) increases the risk for perinatal complications. Ovulation induction by laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) might improve overall pregnancy outcomes. The aim of our study was to assess adverse events or effects on LOD and clomiphene citrate (CC) patients who received metformin. Setting: Academic research institution. We retrospectively analyzed courses 40 spontaneous pregnancies after CC-resistance, CC stimulation, metformin...
There are emerging data indicating an association between PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) and metabolic derangements with potential impact on its clinical presentation. This study aims to evaluate the pathophysiological processes beyond particular focus carbohydrate metabolism, ectopic lipids their possible interaction. Differences two established classifications of disease should be additionally evaluated.A characterization was performed in 53 untreated patients as well 20 controls...
Objective . Evaluate in postmenopausal women the effect of red clover extract (RCE) isoflavones over subjective status skin, appendages, and several mucosal sites.

After washout period 7...
Abstract Endometriosis is a disease characterized by the localization of endometrial tissue outside uterine cavity. The differences observed in migration human stromal cells (h ESC ) obtained from patients with endometriosis versus healthy controls were proposed to correlate abnormal activation Raf‐1/ ROCK II signalling pathway. To evaluate mechanism which Raf‐1 regulates cytoskeleton reorganization and motility, we used primary eutopic (Eu‐, n = 16) ectopic (Ec‐, 8; isolated ovarian cysts)...
Endometriosis seems to have a strong negative effect on female fertility. The aim of this study was assess the rate tubal occlusion diagnosed via laparoscopic chromopertubation in infertile women with endometriosis and compare results without endometriosis. In retrospective cohort study, 275 49 undergoing diagnostic laparoscopy for primary or secondary infertility at Medical University Vienna between January 2012 December 2020 been investigated. During assessment patency, significantly more...
The structure and growth of developing follicles was monitored using vaginal ultrasound scanning in an outpatient programme in-vitro fertilization (IVF) embryo trarsfer (ET). Patients received either human menopausal gonodotrophin (HMG) alone or clomiphene citrate (CC) + HMG for controlled ovarian stimulation. Ultrasound data were compared with pre-ovulatory oestradiol (E2), luteioizing hormone (LH) progesterone (P) levels. Hormwal parameters results classified according to the main...
