In the present study the expression pattern of the cholesterol side-chain cleavage cytochrome (P450(scc)), 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3beta-HSD) and aromatase (P450(arom)) was analyzed in the health and polycystic ovaries of gilts by means of the Western blot and immunohistochemistry. The polycystic status of ovaries was induced by i.m. dexamethasone (DXM) injections on days 7-21 of th...

no family history of cardiovascular disease, no use of oral contraceptive or preventive medication for stroke. She had been nulligravida before this pregnancy. Ultrasonographic examination of the ovaries was performed by the infertility clinic and revealed multiple, bilateral follicles, 0.5–0.7 cm in size. Induction of ovulation began 28 days prior to focal neurological symptoms. The patient re...

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a female endocrine disorder which severely distresses women’s health. The disorder is characterized by a collection of incomplete developed follicles in the ovaries. Manual analysis of PCOS diagnosis often produces errors. So, in recent years many researchers have been enthusiastically working in automatic detection of PCOS. This paper reviews follicle detect...

A 38 year old woman was thought to have bilateral polycystic ovaries and an absence of pelvic or abdominal adhesions at diagnostic laparoscopy. Post-operative transvaginal ultrasound noted bilateral homogeneous hypo-echoic masses with low-level echoes consistent with endometriomas. Transvaginal aspiration was unsuccessful due to the viscosity of the cyst contents. At second laparoscopy severe a...

Assessment of the ovarian morphology is one most commonly performed ultrasound examinations. Polycystic syndrome (PCOS) a multifactorial, multifaceted, polygenic disorder with varying phenotypes. It defines labyrinthine symptomatology including menstrual cycle irregularities, hormonal imbalance, and metabolic disturbance. Historically, this has been diagnosed clinically supportive lab parameter...

the laparoscopic findings of 32 patients with chronic pelvic pain were compared with findings of 62 pain free women who were candidates for laparoscopic tubal sterilization. the most common findings, normal pelvis, was found in 50% of patients and 80.6% of controls that was statistically significant (p<0.01). there was no significant difference with pelvic adhesions, polycystic ovaries, pelvic ...

Previous studies on the effect of repeated electro-acupuncture (EA) treatments in rats with steriod-induced polycystic ovaries (PCO), EA has been shown to modulate nerve growth factor (NGF) concentration in the ovaries as well as corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) in the median eminence (ME). In the present study we tested the hypothesis that repeated EA treatments modulates sympathetic nerve...

Consequences of stimulation of the ovaries include the serious and potentially life-threatening condition of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). This can occur with any type of ovulation induction or superovulation therapy for assisted conception procedures. The development of OHSS can be reduced by the cautious use of preparations, careful monitoring of stimulation cycles, and prediction...

polycystic ovary syndrom (pcos) is characterized by infertility, oligomenorrhea, and hyperandrogenism. clomiphene citrate (cc), an antiestrogen, is first-line treatment for pcos, if cc fails to induce ovulation, laparascopic electrocautery of the ovaries is offered. in this prospective controlled study, 52 women with clomiphen-resistant pcos (group 1) and 46 women with regular menstrual cycles ...
