Journal ArticleDOI
Overweight and obese anovulatory patients with polycystic ovaries: parallel improvements in anthropometric indices, ovarian physiology and fertility rate induced by diet
Pier Giorgio Crosignani,Michela Colombo,Walter Vegetti,Edgardo Somigliana,Alessio Gessati,Guido Ragni +5 more
TL;DR: Weight loss through a controlled low-calorie diet improves anthropometric indices in obese PCOS patients, reduces ovarian volume and microfollicle number and can restore ovulatory cycles, allowing spontaneous pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of luteal phase profile in gonadotrophin stimulated cycles with or without a gonadotrophin-releasing hormone antagonist
Guido Ragni,Walter Vegetti,E. Baroni,Michela Colombo,Mariangela Arnoldi,G.C. Lombroso,Pier Giorgio Crosignani +6 more
TL;DR: GnRH antagonists can be safely administered in gonadotrophin-stimulated IUI cycles without luteal phase supplementation because no deleterious effects of GnRH antagonist administration were noted on luteAL progesterone concentration or on the duration of the luteAl phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Notch-directed microenvironment reprogramming in myeloma: a single path to multiple outcomes
Michela Colombo,Leonardo Mirandola,Natalia Platonova,L. Apicella,Andrea Basile,Alejandro Figueroa,Everardo Cobos,Maurizio Chiriva-Internati,Raffaella Chiaramonte +8 more
TL;DR: This review will explore the evidences of Notch deregulation in multiple myeloma, the state of the art of the currently known roles of its signaling in the fatal interaction between multipleMyeloma cells, extracellular matrix and cells in the bone marrow stroma, and recent findings concerning the arguments for or against a therapy addressed to Notch signaling inhibition in the cure of multiple Myeloma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of double intrauterine insemination in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation cycles
Guido Ragni,Paola Maggioni,E. Guermandi,Alessandra Testa,E. Baroni,Michela Colombo,Pier Giorgio Crosignani +6 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that two IUIs performed 12 hours and 34 hours after hCG administration is the most cost-effective regimen for women undergoing COH cycles with clomiphene citrate and gonadotropins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anti-Notch treatment prevents multiple myeloma cells localization to the bone marrow via the chemokine system CXCR4/SDF-1
Leonardo Mirandola,L. Apicella,Michela Colombo,Yuefei Yu,D.G. Berta,Natalia Platonova,Elisa Lazzari,M. Lancellotti,Gaetano Bulfamante,Everardo Cobos,Maurizio Chiriva-Internati,Raffaella Chiaramonte +11 more
TL;DR: This is the first evidence that a Notch-targeted approach effectively prevents MM cell migration, proliferation and resistance to apoptosis by reducing CXCR4 and SDF-1 levels.
