Increasing NIH funding for academic departments of obstetrics and gynecology: a call to action.

Abstract:

:The National Institutes of Health funding for reproductive sciences research, specifically in academic departments of obstetrics and gynecology, is disproportionately low. Research is one of the most important pillars in advancing healthcare. Despite US Congress' vision in providing increased funding to the National Institutes of Health as a whole, underfunding for research in the departments of obstetrics and gynecology remains one of the several critical drivers in the decline in reproductive health and healthcare for women in the United States.

  • Clinical and cytogenetic studies of patients with polycystic ovary disease.

    abstract::Chromosomal studies in patients with polycystic ovary disease have produced contradictory findings. Whereas some patients showed various sex-chromosome anomalies, the majority had a normal karyotype. However, banding techniques were not employed in any of those studies. This report presents the result of cytogenetic s...
