BACKGROUND: There is no agreement on which of the 2 gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist protocols are the most efficient, neither there is any consensus on which one yields a better clinical pregnancy percentage. OBJECTIVE: The present study aims to compare the effectiveness of reduced dosages of long- and short-acting GnRH agonists on pregnancy outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this randomized controlled clinical trial, 400 women were randomly assigned to 2 groups (n = 200/group): the reduced dosage of long-acting GnRH agonist group (group 1, 1...

Prostate-related metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC) accounts for 50% of all MSCC cases and constitute an oncological emergency. Metastatic spread has a detrimental impact on patient quality of life and the whole management strategy. We sought to identify the prognostic factors influencing the survival rate of patients operated for prostate-related MSCC. Sixty medical records of patients operated for prostate-related MSCC were selected from January 2002 to December 2014 in the Neurosurgery Department, Yopougon Teaching Hospital, Abidjan, Ivory Coast...

We aimed to explore whether ovulation induced by a GnRH analogue (GnRHa), followed by daily GnRHa luteal support provides an efficient platform for natural cycle frozen embryo transfer (NC-FET). In this cohort study, included were normo-ovulatory women who underwent NC-FET cycles, under the age of 40, with an antral follicle count > eight. Ovulation was triggered with triptorelin (0.2 mg Decapeptyl; Ferring), and luteal support was initiated two days later, using a Nafarelin inhaler (Synarel, Pfizer), 200 μg twice daily...

Central precocious puberty (CPP) develops due to premature activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, resulting in early pubertal changes and rapid bone maturation. CPP is associated with lower adult height and increased risk for development of psychological problems. Standard treatment of CPP is based on postponement of pubertal development by blockade of the HPG axis with gonadotropin releasing hormone analogs (GnRHa) leading to abolition of gonadal sex hormones synthesis. Whereas the hormonal and auxological effects of GnRHa are well-researched, there is a lack of knowledge whether GnRHa treatment influences psychological functioning of treated children, despite the fact that prevention of psychological problems is used as one of the main reasons for treatment initiation...

BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is seventh most common cancer in women worldwide. Approximately 1.3% of women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer at some point during their life time. The majority of tumours arise from surface of the ovary (epithelial). Two thirds of these women will present with advanced disease, requiring aggressive treatment, which includes debulking surgery (removal of as much disease as possible) and chemotherapy. However, most women (75%) with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) will relapse following surgery and chemotherapy...

BACKGROUND: Children with central precocious puberty (CPP) present various somatic and psychological abnormalities. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to evaluate growth changes in girls with central precocious puberty treated with GnRH analog therapy and to analyze the factors affecting the auxological response to this treatment.

In order to assess the feasibility of subcutaneous administration of Triptorelin with 6-week intervals for the suppression of pituitary-gonadal axis and changes of clinical signs in girls with idiopathic central precocious puberty (ICPP), 46 girls with ICPP were treated with GnRHa. Triptorelin (Decapeptyl, 3.75 mg) was administered subcutaneously (SC) at 6-weeks intervals or intramuscularly (IM) at 4-weeks intervals randomly for more than 12 months consecutively. During GnRHa therapy, clinical parameters and laboratory data, including height, weight, pubertal stage, bone age, uterine volume and ovarian size, serum levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol (E2), were monitored and analyzed...

Combined therapy with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue and growth hormone (GH) has been used to increase the height of adolescents who are not GH deficient and who have normally timed puberty. Its use, however, is still controversial. For 2 years simultaneously, we treated eight healthy girls with very low predicted adult height (PAH < 145 cm) who were entering into normally timed puberty. The GnRH analogue triptorelin pamoate (Decapeptyl, 100 microg/kg intramuscularly every 4 weeks) and GH (0...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze the safety and efficacy of resectoscopic myomectomy and to evaluate the influence of GnRH analog pretreatment on short- and long-term surgery outcome. METHODS: Data were collected from 80 consecutive resectoscopic myomectomies performed on premenopausal women. Forty-two patients (52.5%) had not received any preoperative medical treatment and in their case surgery was performed during the early proliferative phase (group A), whereas 38 patients (47...

The present study was conducted to assess effects of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) triptorelin in dairy heifers. The peptide was released from a commercial 4-week depot formulation (Decapeptyl Depot) administered at animals' estrus (day 0). First experiment (EXP I, n=5), which was aimed to explore the availability of peptide, detected a maximum of triptorelin concentration between day 2 and 5 after depot injection, and the peptide remained detectable by RIA in peripheral blood for about 3 weeks...

OBJECTIVE: Higher risks of infertility have been found in overweight women. The purpose of the present study was to explore whether protein metabolism profiles related to body mass index (BMI) and to find out whether these parameters should affect IVF/ICSI outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 52 patients were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent an ovarian stimulation either with recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (Gonal-F) or human menopausal gonadotropin (Menogon) after pituitary down-regulation with Goserelin (Zoladex) or Triptorelin (Decapeptyl Gyn)...
