The management of poor responders in IVF cycles is extremely controversial due to their inadequate response to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation.. A low ovarian response may be idiopathic or may be associated with many different factors including age, diminished ovarian reserve, endometriosis and prior ovarian surgery, and a reported incidence 9-24% of IVF patients. Several strategies have be...

BACKGROUND The overall incidence of poor ovarian response in IVF cycles has been reported to be between 9 and 24%. The management of these patients remains a significant challenge in assisted reproduction. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of myo-inositol (MI) on ovarian function in poor responders undergoing ICSI. METHODS The study is a prospective controlled observatio...

purpose : to compare the cosmetic and functional results of frontalis sling procedure using silicone rod with polytetrafluoroethylene (ptose-up) in congenital ptosis with poor levator function (lf) methods : in a prospective randomized study, 90 eyes of 66 patients with congenital ptosis that underwent frontalis suspension surgery [31 patients (18 unilateral, 13 bilateral cases) using a silicon...

background: to discuss the experience of diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cyst in infants. materials and methods: a retrospective review was conducted on 20 infants who suffered from ovarian cyst. results: there were no dysplasia ovarian was found in children which were preoperatively diagnosed simplex cyst. within thirteen children preoperatively detected mixed cystic-solid lesion, six cases...

CAPSULE Mechanisms that control the survival of oocytes and, by extension, the duration of ovarian function have been identified. However, it is still not clear whether oocyte "quality" is related to survival, nor is the role of the granulosa cells of follicles in follicle survival entirely understood. Here, we consider oocyte-intrinsic and oocyte-extrinsic mechanisms of oocyte loss and argue t...

background: premature ovarian failure (pof) is a common condition; its incidence is estimated to be as great as 1 in 100 by the age of 40 years. physiologic replacement of ovarian steroid hormones seems rational until the age of normal menopause. temporary return of ovarian function and pregnancy may occur rarely in women with pof. we report a case of pof who conceived during hormone replacemen...

apparent rise in the incidence of infertility in females and the trend shifting towards delayed child bearing brought up the concept of ovarian ageing. women in their early thirties show poor ovarian reserve which is an entity named as early ovarian ageing. early ovarian ageing is mostly genetically determined, but acquired modifiable factors like smoking, or ovarian surgery have some roles. in...

Background Reduced ovarian reserve has been known to predict poor ovarian response and poor success rates in infertile women undergoing assisted reproductive technology. Ovarian reserve also decreases with age but the rate of decline defers from a woman to another. The aim of this study was to detect any difference in ovarian reserve as measured by basal serum FSH and AMH between matched cohort...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether poor response to controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) is due to a qualitative decline in ovarian function. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 436 patients younger than 35-years old, undergoing COS for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Patients with four or fewer MII oocytes after COS (poor-responder group, PR, n = 52) were age-matched with...

BACKGROUND There are still some patients who show poor response to ovarian stimulation prior to evidence of normal ovarian reserve in vitro fertilization. However, there are few studies about how to treat the unexpectedly ovarian poor responder in vitro fertilization. The main aim of this study evaluate the effect of prolonging administration follicle-stimulating hormone in woman with the unexp...
