In a preliminary study 10 cases of male sterility were treated with 800 mg/day per os of Samyr-Bioresearch over three months. Increased basal motiligy of spermatozoa was observed in 6 out of 10 cases. The results of the study confirm the value and efficacy of SAM in the treatment of male sterility.

The paper reports the results of a study of respiratory distress syndrome in premature birth, one of the most common and important forms of respiratory disorders affecting neonates during the first days of life. One hundred and fifty-six premature births from 1 January 1986 to 30 June 1988 were included in the study. From an analysis of results it emerges that there is a lower incidence of respiratory distress syndrome in both vaginal deliveries and cases treated with Ambroxol.
The paper reports the results of a study to assess the contraceptive efficacy of a new triphasic pill (Trinovum - Cilag AG). The pill was administered to 50 women aged between 18 and 41 years for 12 months, giving a total of 600 menstrual cycles. Data confirm the value of this pill which ensures excellent contraceptive efficacy and is well tolerated by patients with very few adverse effects.
Today the estroprogestagen pill is the most valid method of contraception given that its benefits far outweigh its risks. The paper stresses the importance of a thorough anamnestic, clinical and laboratory examination so as to obtain correct and safe steroid contraception. The efficacy and excellent tolerance of the combined method currently make it the most widespread form of oral contraception.

The paper reports 18 cases of womb rupture observed in the Institute of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the University of Turin from April 1978 to June 1988. Following an analysis of the data relating to the above cases, the paper concludes that in order to reduce the incidence of womb rupture it is important to hospitalize high-risk patients preferably before the start of labour so as to intervent using caesarian section.
Data are reported relating to the study of 100 pregnant women, aged between 30 and 49 years old, effected by one or more fibroma nodules on the body of the womb. From an analysis of results, it appears that appropriate obstetric care can significantly reduce the risk of both maternal and fetal complications.
Thirty-two cases of aspecific vaginitis treated with a ready-to-use providone-iodine solution are reported. Results were highly positive with regard to the efficacy and safety of the treatment.
In industrialised countries endometritis is a problem which represents an increasing risk to personal health and to society. In almost all cases the inflammatory process which affects the uterine mucosa forms part of a more generalised infection which involves the entire internal genital system (PID). The most important problem associated with pelvic phlogosis is increased sterility, a greater number of ectopic pregnancies and chronic pelvic pain. In order to treat the symptoms of genito-pelvic infection, an early diagnosis and adequate medical therapy are indispensable. In this event it may be possible to prevent invalidating effects on fertility and chronic pelvic pain.
A study has been carried out on 62 patients submitted to pre- and postoperative X-ray treatment, evaluating tolerance and effectiveness of orgotein administered i.m. The therapeutic results obtained may be considered very satisfactory.
Four women suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome recalcitrant to routine ovulation inducers have been submitted to electro-cauterization and ovarian resection. Hormonal changes after 24 hours and the incidence of ovulatory cycles in the 6 months subsequent to the execution of these surgical techniques are reported.
A study of 80 cases of dysplasia of the uterine cervix showed the coexistence of HPV infections in 52 cases. This association (65%) shows the important role played by the human papilloma virus in the genesis of cancer of the cervix.
The review of 55 cases of placental failure and the results obtained reveal a 54% mortality rate.
