thromboembolic phenomena are the serious consequences of assisted reproductive technology. we present a case of cerebral sinus vein thrombosis (cvst) following ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (ohss). ten days after recovering from ohss, the patient presented in the emergency department with thunderclap headache. her magnetic resonance venography (mrv) showed occluded left transverse sinus an...

objective: to determine the efficacy of ovarian drilling in pco patients who failed to achieve pregnancy with medical treatment. methods and main results: 75 patients with a diagnosis of pco of whom 48(64%) were primary infertile and 27(36%) were secondary infertile were clomiphene resistant. the other methods like bromocriptin, gonadotropins, gnrh -a and metformin had been given to these patie...

primary ovarian carcinoid tumors of the ovary are rare and represent less than 0.1% of ovarian malignancy. one of its subtypes is the strumal carcinoid in which the thyroid tissue is seen in intimate association with carcinoid tumor. we here report a 47-year-old woman with strumal carcinoid of the right ovary presented with cessation of menstrual periods in the past 3 months and was referred du...

introduction: among the endocrine diseases, hypothyroidism is the commonest after diabetes.thyroid hormones (t3,t4) are essential for genital organs function. apoptosis process in ovarian cells plays a significant role of development in ovarian follicles. the aim of the present study was determine the apoptotic index induced by hypothyroidism in rat ovarian follicles. materials and methods: in ...

background: based on classical two-cell, two-gonadotropin theory, in the follicle, follicle-stimulating hormone (fsh) and luteinizing hormone (lh) put on their main effects on the granulosa and theca cells. lh is essential for androgens production. androgens are used for estradiol production by granulosa cells. profound suppression of lh concentrations in some normogonadotropic patients can cau...

background: polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) has been shown to cause a reduction in health-related quality of life (hrqol). objective:  this study examines the extent of different clinical symptoms in pcos patients on hrqol. materials and methods:  a cross-sectional study was undertaken to ascertain the factors related to hrqol in 200 pcos patients in kashan, iran. main outcome measures were ...

an experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of different types of ovarian cycles on reproductive indices and blood metabolites in 61 holstein cows. blood samples were taken from each cow between day 12 and day 50 postpartum (pp). serum progesterone concentrations were measured to determine the onset of luteal function and different types of luteal dysfunctions in cows. serum glucose, ...

background: the ability of the ovary to respond to exogenous gonadotrophin stimulation and development of several follicles is essential in assisted reproductive technology. neither age and regularity of menses nor follicular phase fsh and estradiol concentrations are reliable predictors of ovarian response. day 3 serum inhibin-b level, during induction ovulation, has been proposed as a predict...

background: despite extensive progress in ivf techniques, one of the most difficult problems is the variability in the response to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (coh). recent studies show the effects of individual genetic variability on coh outcome. objective: to evaluate the correlation between lhβ g1502a polymorphisms in exon 3 of the lh gene and ovarian response to coh. materials and m...
