Randomized Controlled TrialClomiphene citrate or anastrozole for ovulation induction in women with polycystic ovary syndrome? A prospective controlled trial.
To compare the effects of anastrozole (1 mg) and clomiphene citrate (CC; 100 mg) used for ovulation induction in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. ⋯ Anastrozole was associated with significantly fewer mature and growing follicles, thicker endometrium, and slightly higher pregnancy rate. Anastrozole may be helpful in situations in which multiple pregnancy is not desirable or the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is high.

To evaluate the hemostatic efficacy and handling of gelatin-thrombin matrix in abdominal myomectomy. ⋯ Reductions in hemorrhage in FloSeal-treated women undergoing a myomectomy are encouraging, and provide evidence for the ability of gelatin-thrombin matrix to reduce blood loss when applied immediately and directly to bleeding uterine tissue.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyIbuprofen and paracetamol for pain relief during medical abortion: a double-blind randomized controlled study.
To determine the efficacy of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug vs. paracetamol in pain relief during medical abortion and to evaluate whether nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs interfere with the action of misoprostol. ⋯ Ibuprofen was found to be more effective than paracetamol for pain reduction during medical abortion. A history of surgical or medical abortion was predictive for high pain scores. Despite its anti-prostaglandin effects, ibuprofen use did not interfere with the action of misoprostol.
