Patrick Haentjens,Alain Van Meerhaeghe,A. Moscariello,Sonia De Weerdt,Kris Poppe,Alain Dupont,Brigitte Velkeniers +6 more
TL;DR: Among patients with OSAS, CPAP reduces 24-hour ambulatory MBP, with greater treatment-related reductions in ambulatory blood pressure among patients with a more severe degree of OSAS and a better effective nightly use of the CPAP device.

Journal ArticleDOI
Thyroid disease and female reproduction.
TL;DR: It is advisable to measure thyroid function and detect AITD in infertile women before ART, and to follow‐up these parameters after COH and during pregnancy when A ITD was initially present, as well as to treat women with thyroid dysfunction at early gestation stages with l‐thyroxine to avoid pregnancy complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of thyroid autoimmunity in fertility and pregnancy
TL;DR: Prevalence of thyroid autoimmunity is significantly higher among infertile women than among fertile women, especially among those whose infertility is caused by endometriosis or ovarian dysfunction.
