Intrauterine insemination experience in a government teaching hospital setup

Abstract

Objectives: Intrauterine insemination with or without controlled ovarian hyperstimulation is a viable treatment option for male factor, cervical factor and unexplained infertility. We enumerate our 10 year experience in performing intrauterine insemination at a government teaching hospital setup. Study Design: Retrospective observational study. Results: Nine hundred eighty nine couples were observed for 3104 treatment cycles. Male factor and anovulation were the two common causes of infertility in this cohort. Out of the 232 pregnancies that occurred during the study, 34.05% resulted in live birth. Highest cycle fecundity was seen in cases of idiopathic infertility (16%) followed by male factor infertility (15%). 91.8% conceptions occurred in the 1st cycles of intrauterine insemination. Conclusion: In the resource deprived Indian scenario controlled ovarian hyperstimulation with intrauterine insemination is an effective, less invasive, feasible & financially acceptable modality for the treatment of sub-fertility.

Ultraviolet Absorption Spectra, Solvent Effect and Non-Linear Optical Properties of Tetrahydroxy-1,4-quinone Hydrate by Hartee-Fock and Density Functional Theory

“…NBO analysis of some pharmaceutical compounds has been performed by many spectroscopists [10][11][12]. The loan pair-anti-bonding interaction can be quantitatively described by second-order perturbation interaction [13][14][15][16] energy E(2). For each donor (i) and acceptor (j), the stabilization energy E(2) associated with the delocalization i→j is estimated as:…”

“…In extension of the earlier works on the ultraviolet absorption spectra of some substituted compounds of benzene [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13], the present investigation is confined to the study of the UV absorption spectrum of tetrahydroxy-1,4-quinone hydrate (TH-…”

Interfering Effect of Alcohol Swabbing on Capillary Blood Glucose Concentration Using a Glucometer: A Brief Report

“…High speed, low cost, and easy portability are important advantages of glucometers. Furthermore, glucometer results are very helpful in regulating insulin doses and clinical management of the patient (8,9). Continuous blood glucose monitoring is the basis of diabetes management, and self-monitoring with a glucometer has made a significant difference in the Mod Care J.…”
