advantages of mild-stimulation have long been appreciated, while there was a called for more patient-friendly approach in ovarian stimulation around 20 years ago (1)...

Cancer is not uncommon and no longer considered to be an incurable disorder. 10% of cancer cases occur under the age of 45. There is a remarkable improvement in treatment and survival rates. Today women have been delaying initiation of childbearing because the incidence of most cancers increases with age. Delayed childbearing results in more female cancer survivors. As a consequence there is an...

background: release of vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) by ovaries in response to hcg administration is one of the main mechanisms of ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome. since dopamine/dopamine receptor2 (dp-r2) pathway activity -mediated by vegf/ vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (vegfr-2) signaling-, is associated with angiogenic events, dopamine agonists were used for th...

background: the luteal phase defect is a common event following the ovarian stimulation. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the use of human chorionic gonadotropine (hcg) and progesterone hormones to improve the luteal phase defect. materials and methods: 60 mice were superovulated routinely with human menopausal gonadotropin (hmg) (7.5u) and hcg (10u). the mice were mated and divided...

Background: This study intends to present the role of rescue in vitro maturation (IVM) in polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS) patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment who have inappropriate responses to ovarianstimulation.Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective case series study of five PCOS patients undergoing IVF treatmentconsidered for cycle ca...

background: this research investigated the response of vascular active factors, vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) and angiotensin-ii (at-ii) to ovarian stimulation during 24 hours in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos). materials and methods: in this clinical trial study, 52 patients with pcos and 8 control cases were stimulated with human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) on the ...

Cryopreservation of embryos and gametes has become an indispensible service for infertility treatment. Vitrification is now a prevalent technique for cryopreservation in assisted reproductive technology (ART) replacing, in many cases, conventional slow cooling methodology. Fertility preservation in female patients has become a very topical issue. Various malignant and nonmalignant diseases have...
