Normal motor activity of the fallopian tube is critical for human reproduction, and abnormal tubal activity may lead to ectopic pregnancy (EP) or infertility. Progesterone has an inhibitory effect on tubal con...
In children, recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) therapy for treatment of short stature has raised concerns of the early onset of puberty. Puberty is initiated by the activation of the hypothalamus-pituita...
Singleton pregnancy is encouraged to reduce pregnancy complications. In addition to single embryo transfer (SET), selective and spontaneous fetal reduction (SEFR and SPFR) can also achieve singleton pregnancie...
