the objective of this study was to examine the correlation between both midfollicular fsh/lh ratio and number(s) of follicles with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss) in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos). this was carried out in ivf unit at mirza kouchak khan hospital. to induce ovulation, pcos patients were stimulated with gonadotropines. fifty four pcos patients with norma...

The mechanisms that regulate the gradual exit of ovarian follicles from the non-growing, primordial pool are very poorly understood. A better understanding of the signals that initiate follicular growth in mammals, and of the conditions necessary for sustained growth of early preantral follicles in vitro, could have practical implications for contraception, alleviation of infertility, and regul...

(i) What are the chief lesions associated with vascularization of the cornea ? (ii) To what extent do the various modes of vascularization facilitate a differentia! diagnosis ? (iii) Is there a demonstrable factor common to the lesions concerned ? (iv) What is the real significance of these adventitious vessels ? (v) Does experimental work throw any light upon the problem ? (vi) Is it possible ...

Omental adipose stromal cells (O-ASC) are a multipotent population of mesenchymal stem cells contained in the omentum tissue that promote endometrial and ovarian tumor proliferation, migration, and drug resistance. The mechanistic underpinnings of O-ASCs' role in tumor progression and growth are unclear. Here, we propose a novel nitric oxide (NO)–mediated metabolic coupling between O-ASCs and g...

Homozygous mice with a null mutation in the MMP-9/gelatinase B gene exhibit an abnormal pattern of skeletal growth plate vascularization and ossification. Although hypertrophic chondrocytes develop normally, apoptosis, vascularization, and ossification are delayed, resulting in progressive lengthening of the growth plate to about eight times normal. After 3 weeks postnatal, aberrant apoptosis, ...

A 65-year-old male presented to us with symptoms of severe pain in right eye with loss of vision for 1 week. He had undergone a manual small incision cataract surgery elsewhere 2 weeks back. 48–72 hours post-surgery, his vision started decreasing and he presented to us in a state shown in the figure 1. On examination, a provisional diagnosis of post-operative endophthalmitis was made. The anter...
