Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most prevalent infectious diseases in older women, especially those over 65 years of age. Physiological changes related to aging, comorbidities, and frequent use medical devices such as urinary catheters increase susceptibility. Increasing antimicrobial resistance further complicates treatment strategies. This study aims describe epidemiological profile UTI women age, focusing on characterization etiological agents, observed patterns, commonly...
To find a pretreatment predictor for achieving live birth. Assisted reproduction technology with IVF/ICSI is the ultimate chance some couples to conceive child. The expectations are high and it important give them realistic perspective about chances of birth.A retrospective cohort study all cycles performed in our center between 2012 2016. We considered only those birth delivery after 24 weeks, or no surplus embryos left. following data was evaluated: AMH; AFC; age; BMI; previous diagnosis;...
OBJETIVO: comparar parto e seguimento de gravidez entre grávidas adolescentes não-adolescentes que pariram num hospital terciário da região Lisboa (Portugal). MÉTODOS: estudo retrospectivo com 10.656 partos. Foram avaliados: gravidez, idade gestacional no parto, tipo necessidade episiotomia lacerações graves, índice Apgar quinto minuto peso ao nascer. As foram divididas em dois grupos, acima abaixo dos 20 anos. O grupo anos foi depois subdividido menos ou mais 16 Foi usado o teste do χ2 para...
The aim of this study was to build an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) complemented by a decision tree predict the chance live birth after In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)/Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) treatment, before first embryo transfer, using demographic and clinical data. Overall, 26 data from 1193 cycles who underwent IVF/ICSI treatment at Centro de Infertilidade e Reprodução Medicamente Assistida, between 2012 2019, were analyzed. An ANN constructed selecting experimentally...
Uterine malformations are a heterogeneous group of congenital anomalies resulting from abnormal development Mullerian ducts. Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome is rare condition that includes the triad uterus didelfus, blind hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. We report case with premenarche diagnosis treatment make review illness. A 11 year old female was referred for pediatric nephrology neurodevelopment consultation due to prenatal left pelvic ultrasound performed an anomalous...
O câncer não é incomum nem incurável: 85% dos doentes com menos de 45 anos diagnosticados nos EUA em 2002 sobreviveram mais 10 anos. As maiores taxas sobrevivência verificam‐se jovens da mama, testicular e hematológico. Contudo, para tratar estes tumores que são usados os fármacos gonadotóxicos, assim como doenças hematológicas autoimunes também requerem terapêuticas potencialmente lesivas as gônadas o seu controle. comité ético Sociedade Americana Medicina Reprodução considera “existem...
Müllerian anomalies are very common, and a frequent cause of infertility. The most used classification system until now, proposed by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in 1988, categorizes comprehensively uterine but fails to classify defects cervix or vagina. This is based on developmental theory that postulates müllerian duct fusion unidirectional, beginning caudally extending cranially, which does not account isolated cervical vaginal defects. More recently, European Human...
Abstract Objective To establish a relationship between serum progesterone values on the day of frozen blastocyst transfer in hormone-replaced cycles with probability pregnancy, miscarriage or delivery. Methods This was an ambispective observational study including all frozen-thawed embryo performed at our department following vitro fecundation from May 2018 to June 2019. The outcomes evaluated were β human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG)-positive pregnancy and Groups compared according level...
To determine whether a rescue strategy using dydrogesterone (DYD) could improve the outcomes of frozen embryo transfer cycles (FET) with low progesterone (P4) levels on day blastocyst transfer. Retrospective cohort study including FET performed between July 2019 and October 2020 following an artificial endometrial preparation cycle estradiol valerate micronized vaginal P4 (400 mg twice daily). Whenever serum value was below 10 ng/mL morning planned transfer, DYD three times added as...
Thyroid associated ophthalmopathy is an uncommon disease, characterized by a diffuse inflammation of the orbit in bilateral and asymmetric pattern, causing proptosis swelling eyelids conjuntiva. In 90% patients it with Graves' however may occur hipothyroidism or even without thyroid disease. During its course spontaneous remission exacerbations are common, evolving independently from most often serious complications for patient, being blindness worse them, 1% cases. The cause still...
OBJECTIVE: To compare the rate of vaginal birth in women attempting after caesarean delivery (VBAC) through labour induction with dinoprostone versus a trial spontaneous labour. METHODS: A 10-year retrospective cohort study tertiary care hospital one prior delivery. Women who attempted VBAC were compared undergoing Logistic regression analyses performed to assess relationship between success and taking into account confounding variables. Both maternal neonatal safety studied find difference...
Múltiplos estudos sugerem que os valores de β‐hCG e progesterona podem ser bons preditores gravidez. Investigar o potencial dos na previsão gravidez evolutiva gemelar, 14 dias após punção ovocitária em ciclos FIV/ICSI, estabelecer um modelo previsão. Estudo retrospetivo com transferência embriões a fresco entre maio/2011 setembro/2015. Os grupos definidos foram: sem gravidez; não evolutiva; (única ou gemelar). A análise estatística considerou α = 5%. Para avaliar capacidade prever gemelar...
