Hormonal strategies for fertility preservation in patients receiving cyclophosphamide to treat glomerulonephritis: a nonrandomized trial and review of the literature.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Prepubertal patients receiving chemotherapy are relatively resistant to cyclophosphamide-induced germinal cell alterations. We studied the possible protective effect of testosterone and triptorelin to inhibit gonadal activity in men and ... Read more...

Ultrastructural abnormalities of respiratory cilia: a 25-year experience.

30 Oct 2008 CONTEXT: Ciliary dyskinesia is a rare, but significant, cause of chronic respiratory infections, and transmission electron microscopy is a critical adjunct to making the diagnosis. OBJECTIVE: To investigate a single institution's experience with ... Read more...

Genetic counseling in Robertsonian translocations der(13;14): frequencies of reproductive outcomes and infertility in 101 pedigrees.

13 Oct 2008 Robertsonian translocations 13/14 are the most common chromosome rearrangements in humans. However, most studies aimed at determining risk figures are more than 20 years old. Their results are often contradictory regarding important topics in ... Read more...
