Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder, with complex etiology and pathophysiology, which remains poorly understood. It affects about 5–10% of women of reproductive age who typically suffer from obesity, hyperandrogenism, ovarian dysfunction, and menstrual irregularity. Indeed, PCOS is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility in industrialized nations, and it is associated with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and increased cardiovascular risk. Although insulin resistance is not included as a criterion for diagnosis, it is a critical pathological condition of PCOS. The purpose of this systematic review is the analysis of recent randomized clinical trials of inositol(s) in PCOS, in particular myo- and D-chiro-inositol, in order to better elucidate their physiological involvement in PCOS and potential therapeutic use, alone and in conjunction with assisted reproductive technologies, in the clinical treatment of women with PCOS.

Ectopic pregnancy continues to be one of the most common gynecologic emergencies. The incidence of ectopic pregnancies which are diagnosed much earlier with the help of advanced tools is in the increasing trend, probably due to extensive use of assisted reproductive technologies and increased pelvic infections. A total of 36 ectopic pregnancies were managed from April 2007- March 2008 among which 33 were ruptured ectopics with haemoperitoneum, treated surgically by emergency laparotomy and salpingectomy. Three unruptured cases were treated with single dose of intramuscular methotrexate followed by serum ß hCG measurement. Transvaginal sonography reassured that medical management of unruptured ectopic pregnancies with systemic single dose of methotrexate was successful with few side effects and a cost effective alternative to traditional surgical management for unruptured ectopic pregnancies.
