Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyEffectiveness of nitrous oxide for postpartum perineal repair: a randomised controlled trial.
To compare the effectiveness of self-administered 50% nitrous oxide and conventional infiltrative anaesthesia with 1% prilocaine hydrochloride in postpartum perineal repair. ⋯ Nitrous oxide self-administration during genital tract suturing after vaginal childbirth is a satisfactory and effective alternative to infiltrative anaesthesia.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyPrevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in GnRH agonist IVF cycles in moderate risk patients: randomized study comparing hydroxyethyl starch versus cabergoline and hydroxyethyl starch.
To assess whether, in GnRH agonist IVF cycles where there is a risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), the addition of cabergoline to the hydroxyethyl starch (HES) infusion could decrease OHSS incidence and severity. ⋯ The co-administration of cabergoline in patients receiving HES due to OHSS risk did not reduce the rate or severity of OHSS in GnRH agonist IVF cycles.

Blockade of endothelin receptors with bosentan limits ischaemia/reperfusion-induced injury in rat ovaries.
To investigate the role of endothelin receptors in ovarian ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats using the endothelin receptor antagonist bosentan. ⋯ Administration of bosentan protects the ovaries against oxidative damage and I/R-induced injury.
