Objective: To explore the role of postoperative gonadotrophin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) therapy before treatment with intrauterine insemination (IUI) for infertile females with stage I-II endometriosis.
Material and methods: Ninety-seven patients diagnosed with stage I-II endometriosis before IUI were enrolled in this study. The clinical pregnancy rate, cumulative pregnancy rate, live birth rate and newborn conditions were compared between the two groups with and without GnRH-a therapy.
Results: The clinical pregnancy rate of IUI in the GnRH-a group was higher than that in the control group (15.29% vs. 11.82%, p = .035). By logistic regression analysis, patients treated with GnRH-a had a higher clinical pregnancy rate than those without (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 23.190, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.238-434.312). The live birth rate per IUI cycle in the GnRH-a group was also higher than in the controls (12.94% vs. 10%). However, the difference was not statistically significant (p = .311, AOR 4.844, 95% CI 0.229-102.320). The patients with GnRH-a therapy had a similar incidence of multiple pregnancy rate (0% vs. 0%), miscarriage rate (2.35% vs. 0.91%) and ectopic pregnancy rate (0% vs. 0.91%) as compared to the control group. The cumulative pregnancy rates were all higher in patients administered with GnRH-a than those without GnRH-a treatment in different cycles (one cycle: 17.07% vs 12.50%; two cycles: 29.27% vs 19.64%; three cycles: 31.71% vs 23.21%; ≥four cycles: 31.71% vs 23.21%), but the difference was not statistically significant. Notably, there was no more pregnancy after the third IUI cycle. The gestation weeks of delivery in the two groups were 39.09 ± 1.04 and 38.60 ± 1.17, respectively (p = .323). Nor was there difference in birth weight between the two groups (3236 ± 537 g vs 3435 ± 418 g, p = .360).
Conclusions: The administration of GnRH-a in patients with stage I-II endometriosis could be beneficial to the outcomes of IUI. It is recommended that IUI should be discontinued after three failed attempts. KEY MESSAGESEndometriosis is a common cause of infertility, but the exact mechanism remains unclear.The administration of GnRH-a before IUI treatment is beneficial for patients suffering from stage I-II endometriosis.After three failed attempts, IUI should be stopped in patients with stage I-II endometriosis.
目的探讨子宫内膜异位症I-II期不孕女性在接受宫腔内人工授精（IUI）治疗前术后使用促性腺激素释放激素激动剂（GnRH-a）治疗的作用：本研究共纳入了97例在宫腔内人工授精前确诊为I-II期子宫内膜异位症的患者。比较两组接受和未接受 GnRH-a 治疗的患者的临床妊娠率、累积妊娠率、活产率和新生儿情况：结果：GnRH-a 组人工授精的临床妊娠率高于对照组（15.29% 对 11.82%，P = 0.035）。通过逻辑回归分析，接受 GnRH-a 治疗的患者的临床妊娠率高于未接受 GnRH-a 治疗的患者（调整后的几率比（AOR）为 23.190，95% 置信区间（CI）为 1.238-434.312）。GnRH-a 组每个人工授精周期的活产率也高于对照组（12.94% 对 10%）。然而，差异并无统计学意义（P = .311，AOR 4.844，95% CI 0.229-102.320）。与对照组相比，接受 GnRH-a 治疗的患者多胎妊娠率（0% vs. 0%）、流产率（2.35% vs. 0.91%）和宫外孕率（0% vs. 0.91%）的发生率相似。使用 GnRH-a 的患者在不同周期的累积妊娠率均高于未使用 GnRH-a 的患者（一个周期：17.07% vs 12.50%；两个周期：29.27% vs 19.64%）：29.27% vs 19.64%；三个周期：31.71% vs 23.21%）：31.71% vs 23.21%；≥四个周期：31.71% vs 23.21%），但差异无统计学意义。值得注意的是，第三个人工授精周期后没有再怀孕。两组的分娩孕周分别为（39.09 ± 1.04）和（38.60 ± 1.17）（P = 0.323）。两组的出生体重也没有差异（3236 ± 537 g vs 3435 ± 418 g，p = .360）：结论：对 I-II 期子宫内膜异位症患者施用 GnRH-a 可能有利于人工授精的效果。结论：对 I-II 期子宫内膜异位症患者施用 GnRH-a 有益，但建议在三次尝试失败后停止人工授精。关键信息：子宫内膜异位症是导致不孕的常见原因，但其确切机制仍不清楚。在人工授精治疗前使用 GnRH-a 对 I-II 期子宫内膜异位症患者有益。

ABSTRACT Rooting, defined as a spectator’s demonstrative encouragement of a contestant’s effort, ideally has the morally positive aspects of benevolent concern and helpfulness but in practice strains against reasonable standards of conduct by being rude, excessively biased, exploitative, fanatical, and superstitious. Rooting may activate an atavistic, morally cogent sense of fighting for one’s group that is at odds with the universalism of civilized morality. The ‘merely play’ excuse can cut both ways, deflecting moral objections but also removing moral credit from rooting. Although rooting is often not humane, humane rooting can occur and is supported by humane commentary by sports participants, broadcasters, and journalists. Humane rooting supports the premise of benevolence theories (Mengzi, Hutcheson) that morally ideal benevolence has a foothold in an innate general benevolence – seen in this area especially in benevolence toward efforts. Being partisan, excited, and demonstrative, rooters cannot perfectly embody ‘universal calm benevolence’, but they can consciously minimize the inhumane aspects of rooting and achieve a more fully prosocial satisfaction.

The central premise of the book draws on the familiar observation that sport and state based legal systems are both rule governed practices that share a great deal in common: as the authors put it, ‘sports and games are, in a clear and recogniz-able sense, legal systems’. With that premise in mind, the book aims to both put some flesh on the bones (by suggesting examples and putting forward relevant comparisons) and, more interestingly, to prompt the reader to consider whether there is anything that each can take from the other. However, the authors also make interesting comparisons between sports and provide introductions to theoretical and philosophical concepts to help underpin and justify comparisons and to assist the reader in thinking about the aims and purposes or creating and interpreting rules in any context. As a result, the book is an excellent resource for law students and law tutors (and not just those interested in sport) who should be able to latch on to the well-chosen examples and extracts to develop under-standing of key legal concepts and skills and also underlying ethical and philosophical concepts that are equally relevant to law and sport. Of particular note are the recurring themes of definition and interpretation, the purpose and nature of sanctions, the difference between rules and standards, the use of discretion and the rationale for choosing standards of proof. Whilst the book is primarily aimed at a legal audience, it should prove of interest for philosophers of sport as an opportunity to reflect on how different sports and legal systems deal with some of the ethical problems that arise. It also provides a source of sporting examples from which to draw interesting ethical dilemmas to engage students with.

ABSTRACT In 2006, mountaineer David Sharp died on the slopes of Mount Everest. Sharp’s death led to public outrage after allegedly 40 climbers passed by the dying Sharp on their way to the peak, without stopping to help. But, since the slopes of Everest are a high-risk environment and rescuing Sharp would have entailed great risks for the rescuers, it is not clear whether the other mountaineers had a moral duty to rescue him. In a recent article, Patrick Findler introduces a principle to analyse such cases which states that we have a duty to rescue under dangerous circumstances, if the involved risks are not higher than the risks we are already taking in the pursuit of our own, morally less worthy ends. However, Findler then rejects this principle as too demanding. In this paper I will defend the principle against its inventor and argue in favour of such a duty. And while it may be true that the other mountaineers were justified in passing Sharp for different reasons, the principle shows that not only climbers, but adventure-sport athletes in general and people who engage in high-risk endeavours, may have a duty to rescue that doesn’t apply to others.

ABSTRACT Commentators on strategic fouling have not focused on what is most ethically relevant. I contend that strategic fouling in basketball is unethical in all of its forms because it violates the essence or true ethos of the sport: the display of the full realization of the skills of the game. I give an account of the essential skills, how they are determined, and how historical rule changes about fouling have principally been directed toward rewarding skill and increasing freedom of player movement. I explain why the disciplined restraint from strategically fouling is a competitive virtue as well as a way to show full respect to opponents. Moreover, I contend that the physical contact involved in strategic fouling can elicit a desire to retaliate, an indication of an ethical aspect of strategic fouling that has been overlooked in the scholarly debate.

ABSTRACT Johnson and Hudecki argue that Bernard Suits fails to refute Wittgenstein’s ‘family resemblance’ view of games because Suits’s account of how games begin, how they are played, and the ends they involve, fails to match basic facts of player experience. In reply, the current paper describes three keys to interpreting The Grasshopper: (1) distinguishing the four perspectives from which Suits describes games, (2) recognizing Suits' dispositional view of rule following, and (3) understanding the geometrical metaphor Suits uses to describe rules. In light of these, this paper argues that Johnson and Hudecki’s critiques are either mistaken or are actually affirmations of Suits' position.

disappointing that excellent and relevant work published within the literature goes relatively unnoticed. This is not an uncommon critique of works (see Edgar 2022) that delve into sport philosophy topics. Recognition for the previous spadework done would greatly benefit the sport humanities literature, but it is still a strength of the book that new voices and alternative perspectives are on offer. As such, this is a valuable resource for academics interested in non-analytic philosophy, as a tool for developing sociocultural/historical course content, or for graduate students interested broadly in the sport humanities. It is an important work that helps us grapple with our understanding, for better or worse, of sport’s importance.

ABSTRACT The three social practices – democracy, philosophy and sport – are more similar than we might initially suspect. They can be described as ‘essentially agonistic social practices’, that is, they are manifestations of ‘agon’ (contest). The possibility to participate in agonistic social practices derives from the human condition, i.e. from the necessity to care for one’s existence, which requires ongoing attention and decision-making, and which sometimes means going against others. We call this character of human existence by the ancient Greek term ‘polemos’ (struggle), which can be manifested through various types of agon. If society cherishes agonistic social practices, it enables its citizens to compete to prove themselves and achieve goals (e.g. to push through a persuasive argument, or to win in sport) in a respectful, peaceful and productive way. Believed to have played a significant role in ancient Greece, agon presents itself in both intellectual and physical forms – in philosophy, democratic politics and sport – suggesting that the relationship between these practices is deep-rooted and significant. This paper explores the idea that developing our understanding of polemos and agon can enhance our experience of agonistic social practices and enable our existence to proceed in a more free, pro-social and enriching way.

They can be described as ‘essentially agonistic social practices’, that is, they are manifestations of ‘agon’ (contest). The possibility to participate in agonistic social practices derives from the human condition, i.e. from the necessity to care for one’s existence, which requires ongoing attention and decision-making, and which sometimes means going against others. We call this character of human existence by the ancient Greek term ‘polemos’ (struggle), which can be manifested through various types of agon. If society cherishes agonistic social practices, it enables its citizens to compete to prove themselves and achieve goals (e.g. to push through a persuasive argument, or to win in sport) in a respectful, peaceful and productive way. Believed to have played a significant role in ancient Greece, agon presents itself in both intellectual and physical forms – in philosophy, democratic politics and sport – suggesting that the relationship between these practices is deep-rooted and significant. This paper explores the idea that developing our understanding of polemos and agon can enhance our experience of agonistic social practices and enable our existence to proceed in a more free, pro-social and enriching way.","PeriodicalId":46532,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Philosophy of Sport","volume":"49 1","pages":"246 - 262"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43922955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
