Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) represent the two most frequently utilized laboratory tests in determining ovarian reserve (OR). This study determined the clinical significance of their concordance and discordance in female infertility patients.

Over the past 12 years, it has become increasingly recognized that insulin resistance is central to the pathogenesis of the polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). The use of insulin-sensitizing agents, such as Metformin, a biguanide insulin-lowering agent in ovulation induction for IVF, has been widely studied.

Effective health policy requires a thorough understanding of intrinsic social, ethical, political and philosophical aspects of infertility and its treatment. The procedure with the highest success rate to address the clinical challenge of infertility for many patients is a relatively high-technology procedure, in vitro fertilisation (IVF).

Celiac disease occurs in roughly 1% of all humans. It is an autoimmune condition initially caused by hypersensitivity and hyperimmunity to a class of proteins, called gliadins, which are found in the outer husk of common grains such as wheat, barley, rye, and oats.

1. What is your most interesting case of celiac disease? 2. How common is celiac disease in women with amenorrhea? 3. If a woman is diagnosed with celiac disease, should she be screened for any other conditions?

For the past 40 years the rogress made in the field of reproductive physiology has been dramatic. Among key discoveries the understanding of the hormonal control of the Hypothalamic Pituitary Gonadal axis has been flabbergasting.
