The effect of methyl farnesoate (MF) on the ovaries of female red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, undergoing vitellogenesis was determined both in vivo and in vitro. The in vivo assay showed a positive effect of MF on oocyte growth when injected alone and in combination with 17 beta-estradiol, but not in combination with JHIII or 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone. A higher level of incorporatio...

The distribution of arbitrarily-classed large (~>4 mm dia.) and small (<4 mm dia.) follicles between the ovary with the lesser number of corpora lutea and the ovary with the greater number of corpora lutea was studied in pregnant cows, sows and ewes. At mid-pregnancy in the cow, numbers of large follicles reached a low level and remained at that level to the end of pregnancy on the ovary that c...

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a highly prevalent endocrine-metabolic illness that has alarmingly high rates of infertility and other significant effects on the health women. This review study highlighted Insulin appears to damage every part hypothalamus-hypophysis-ovary axis, insulin resistance in ovarian tissue leads impaired metabolic signalling but intact mitogenic steroidogenic activi...

A 61-year-old postmenopausal female with a past medical history of type 2 diabetes, nephrolithiasis, and recurrent urinary tract infections presented to an outpatient urology clinic chief complaint frequency, urgency, burning after micturition. Associated symptoms included nausea, low-grade fever chills, right flank pain. After treatment antibiotics did not relieve all her symptoms, imaging was...

Introduction. Extramedullary sites of leukemic proliferation, harboring an adverse outcome, are rare and usually found in the blastic phase chronic myeloid leukemia. We report a case newly diagnosed patient with leukemia phase, infiltration right ovary on disease presentation. Case report. The presented abdominal pain, leukocytosis, anemia. A peripheral blood smear indicated leukemia, cytoreduc...

Background: Meta-analysis was used to evaluate the efficacy and safety of aspirin combined with letrozole in treatment polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most frequently seen endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age with a prevalence of about 10%. AIMS To investigate the efficiency of growth differentiation factor 9 and bone morphogenetic protein 15 during folliculogenesis in a dehydroepiandrosterone-induced mouse Polycystic ovary syndrome model. STUDY DESIGN Animal experimentation. METHOD...

In an effort to uncover genes associated with ovary activation in honey bee workers, the extent to which eight candidate genes co-varied in their expression with experimentally-induced changes in worker reproductive state was examined. Groups of caged, queenless workers narcotized with CO(2) on consecutive days early in adult life showed a significantly lower level of ovary activation than did ...

Diagnosis of adnexal torsion can be difficult, especially during pregnancy. Delay in diagnosis can lead to necrosis and loss of the affected ovary compromising the reproductive capacity, especially in young women. A 22-year-old primigravida presented to the emergency room at 10 weeks of gestation with acute onset left iliac fossa pain. Ultrasound examination showed a live intra-uterine gestatio...
