Background Failure to achieve a successful pregnancy after 12 months of unprotected intercourse is a pathology of the reproductive system known as infertility. Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) not only reflects the ovarian reserve but also is known to be a predictor of several assisted reproductive techniques, e.g., in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and clomiphene citrate challenge test. In this study, AMH levels are correlated with the follicular output rate after the clomiphene citrate challenge test.
Aim: To assess the ferrous level in Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy. Methodology: Eighty four neonates from tertiary care hospital had been included. Neonates were classified as hypoxic on the basis of Sarnat and Sarnat scoring. 34 healthy neonates served as control. Among 50 patients two groups were made each containing 25 neonates. Group 1 comprising of 25 neonates of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy of mild degree. Group 2 comprising of 25 neonates suffering from moderate to severe encephalopathy. Results: Serum ferrous was significantly elevated in neonates suffering from Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy. Conclusion: The significant elevation of serum ferrous in hypoxic neonates reiterates the key role of serum ferrous in neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. Keywords: Ferrous, oxidative stress.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
