In women stimulated with GnRHa and hMG/FSH for IVF, elevated serum progesterone levels on the day of hCG administration were associated with diminished implantation rates and live birth rates regardless of ovarian reserve.

Cervical mucus aspiration before IUI might improve clinical pregnancy rates by yet-to-be-defined mechanisms.

The GAGS may provide more precise and comprehensive information about acne severity in obese or hirsute patients with PCOS because this grading system includes evaluation of the type (comedones, papules, pustules, nodules) and location (anatomic area) of acne lesions.

Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIHT) increases both maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity in pregnant women. We sought to investigate the electrocardiographic findings in pregnant women with PIHT. Seventeen pregnant women (29.4 ± 5 years) with PIHT and 24 pregnant women (27.3 ± 6.1 years) with normal blood pressure (control group) were included in the study. A 12-lead surface electrocardiogram was used to evaluate the electrocardiographic parameters. Pregnant women with PIHT had higher blood pressure (p = 0.001). The Tp-e interval was longer in PIHT pregnant women at 83.5 ± 7.8 ms versus 75.8 ± 8.4 ms in the control group (p = 0.007). The Tp-e/QTc ratio was higher in pregnant women with PIHT than that in healthy controls (0.19 ± 0.02 vs. 0.18 ± 0.02, respectively). This study demonstrated that Pd, QTd and the P wave durations were similar in the PIHT pregnant women and control group, but the Tp-e and Tp-e/QTc ratio were higher in pregnant women with PIHT than in normotensive pregnant women.

Increasing awareness of restless legs syndrome among obstetricians is essential as it might be related to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, which is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes.
