Pharmacokinetics of the progesterone-containing vaginal tablet and its use in assisted reproduction

Tally Levy, Yael Yairi, Itai Bar–Hava, Josef Shalev, more

Steroids > 2000 > 65 > 10-11 > 645-649

Natural progesterone, which is devoid of androgenic activity, is widely used in assisted reproduction for luteal and pregnancy support. The vaginal route has become the most established way to deliver natural progesterone because it is easily administered, avoids liver first-pass metabolism, and has no systemic side-effects. The vagina has a large potential for absorption, and through the 'uterine...

Objective: the beneficial effects of antepartum corticosteroids on the reduction of morbidity and mortality in the premature neonate have been amply demonstrated. The NIH consensus statement has, therefore, endorsed their use in women at risk from pre-term delivery between 24 and 34 weeks gestation. Patients at persistent risk of pre-term delivery may receive multiple weekly courses. However, increased...

Sigi Rotmensch, Claudio Celentano, Joseph Shalev, Tali H. Vishne, more

Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics > 1999 > 16 > 1 > 8-12

Purpose: Data about the effect of multifetal pregnancy reduction on midtrimester maternal serum levels of α-feto-protein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and unconjugated estriol (uE ₃ ) are scarce and contradictory. Differing gestational ages at fetal reduction, transvaginal versus transabdominal needle insertion, and injection of different feticidal agents compound the analysis of published data....

Single intrauterine fetal death (fetus papyraceus) due to uterine trauma in a twin pregnancy

Dan Peleg, Asaf Ferber, Raoul Orvieto, Itai Bar-Hava, more

European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology > 1998 > 80 > 2 > 175-176

Fetus papyraceus is a rare condition. We describe the intrauterine fetal death with subsequent fetus papyraceus of one twin due to blunt maternal trauma in the second trimester of pregnancy. Blunt maternal trauma should raise the clinical suspicion of fetal death and dictate further observation; in a twin pregnancy, the possibility of a single fetal death should be investigated.
