The Efficacy Of In Vitro Fertilization In Treating Infertility Due To Anovulatory Pcos In Comparison To Ovulation Induction Via Letrozole, Amanda Salay
Capstone Showcase
Abstract:
Introduction: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder found in women of reproductive age that often causes infertility. The first-line treatment for infertility in anovulatory PCOS patients is ovulation induction. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a third line treatment often used as a last resort. PCOS patients have higher failure risks of first- and second-line medications. Therefore, this review analyzes if adverse pregnancy outcomes (O) are reduced more with IVF (I) versus using letrozole for ovulation induction (C) in women aged 20-30 struggling with infertility due to anovulatory PCOS (P).

The Benefits Of Statins As Adjunct Therapy For Non-Pregnant And Non-Lactating Women Diagnosed With Pcos, Claire Barre

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting about 20% of women in reproductive age. PCOS is associated with many health risks, one of which is an increased risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. There is no set treatment plan to help decrease the risk of cardiometabolic diseases, but some standard recommended treatments include lifestyle changes, oral contraceptive pill (OCP), and metformin. The review analyzes the potential benefit of adding statins as an adjunct therapy (I) to decrease the cardiometabolic disease risk (O) in women diagnosed with PCOS (P) compared to the current recommended intervention (C). …

The Effects Of Psychological Intervention On Pregnant Women With Elevated Cortisol Levels And Adverse Birth Events, Megan Mellon

Elevated levels of stress, anxiety, and depression during pregnancy are thought to influence cortisol levels. Dysregulations in cortisol, as a byproduct of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, have been associated with preterm birth and adverse birth outcomes. Studies have demonstrated poorer long-term effects of antenatal stress on child neurodevelopment, temperament, and cognition. Psychological interventions of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and gratitude have shown to have a positive effect on psychological wellbeing across various populations. The purpose of this literature review was to analyze a collection of randomized-controlled trials to conclude if psychological interventions during pregnancy for women with elevated levels of …
Efficacy Of Myo-Inositol In The Treatment Of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (Pcos), Rachel Mathews
Efficacy Of Myo-Inositol In The Treatment Of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (Pcos), Rachel Mathews

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a disorder that results from insulin resistance. Symptoms include chronic anovulation, polycystic ovaries, acne, hirsutism, and infertility. Although there is currently no cure for PCOS, treatments such as metformin, clomiphene citrate, and reproductive assistive techniques (IVF) have been used to target specific symptoms. Recent research has suggested that myo-inositol may be beneficial in the treatment of PCOS. Therefore, this review analyzes the addition of myo-inositol (I) in adult patients with PCOS (P) compared to current methods such as metformin, clomiphene citrate, and assisted therapies alone (C) in improving ovulation and fertility (O).
