objective: the study assessed the efficacy of low dose ketoconazole in addition to clomiphene citrate ( cc) and hmg on ovulation induction. materials and methods: a double blind, randomized, clinical trial was performed on fifty infertile patients with pcos who had failed to respond to a daily dose of hmg and 100 mg cc for controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in vali-e-asr reproductive health re...

background: the prevalence of polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) particularly is increased in adolescents. very few longitudinal follow-up for assessment of ovarian reserve in women of late reproductive age with previously confirmed pcos have been conducted, especially after its diagnosis and treatment in adolescence. objective: the aim of the present study was to compare of the ovarian reserve...

abstract the gnrh analogue (agonist and antagonist gnrh) changed ovarian stimulation. on the one hand, it improved chances of pregnancy to obtain more oocytes and better embryos. this leads to an ovarian hyper-response, which can be complicated by the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss). on the other hand, the gnrh analogue can prevent the incidence of ohss: gnrh antagonist protocols, gnrh...

121 women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and clomiphene citrate resistance underwent laparoscopic ovarian cautery, 63 patients were type I or typical PCOS with ovarian volume >8mL and 58 patients were type II PCOS with ovarian volume O.05). It therefore appears that the result of laparoscopic ovarian cauterization does not depend on ovary size in clomphene citrate resistant patients with...

Background Ovarian tissue cryopreservation is an option for patients who require immediate gonagonadotoxic treatment of cancers. when there is insufficient time to conduct ovulation induction This procedure can be used in patients with genetic mutations with a high risk for premature ovarian failure.This strategy is the only option for fertility preservation in prepubertal girls or in women who...

background: poor ovarian response phenomenon has been observed in some of the in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer patients. some investigations found that follicle stimulating hormone receptor (fshr) gene plays a role in the process, but no direct evidence shows the correlation between genotypes of fshr and ovarian response. objective: exploring the molecular mechanism behind the mutation of...

background and aims: ovarian cancer is one of most common causes of cancer related women's mortalities. human papilloma virus is a known factor concerning cervical cancer but its role in causing ovarian cancer is not yet verified. a few studies also identified hpv dna in ovarian carcinoma tissues. however, some studies did not detect hpv dna in ovarian carcinoma tissues. in this article, we inv...

Ovarian fibromas are the most common benign solid ovarian tumors, which preoperative diagnosis often is difficult. Ovarian fibromas, especially in bilateral cases, may be representative of Gorlin syndrome.Gorlin syndrome (GS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder with predisposition to basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and other various benign and malignant tumors. To report a case of a young patien...

primary fallopian tube carcinoma is a rare tumor that histologically and clinically resembles epithelial ovarian cancer. here we introduce a case of tubal carcinoma in a postmenopausal woman. the diagnosis of primary fallopian tube carcinoma is rarely considered preoperatively and is usually first appreciated by the pathologist. because of low frequency of tubal carcinoma, there are few systemi...

background: ovarian cancer is the most fatal tumor of female's reproductive system, and several genetics and environmental factors are involved in its development. various studies have already identified suitable biomarkers to facilitate the early detection, prognosis evaluation, and the assessment of treatment response. however, the aim of this review was to investigate the role of long n...
