The interaction between follicular fluid total antioxidant capacity, infertility and early reproductive outcomes during in vitro fertilization.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to determine whether the relationship between antioxidant capacity of follicular fluid and early reproductive outcomes is influenced by the cause of infertility, polycystic ovarian morphology, age and smoking.

Patients And Methods: This was a prospective, cross-sectional study performed in an assisted conception unit and a teaching hospital. The study cohort was 34 women undergoing IVF treatment.

Secondary amenorrhoea with high inhibin B level caused by parasitic ovarian leiomyoma.

A 35-year-old patient attended the clinic after 1 year of primary infertility and 9 years secondary amenorrhoea. Her BMI was 21.9 kg/m².

Coexistence of polycystic ovaries and uterine fibroids and their combined effect on the uterine artery blood flow in relation to age and parity.

Objective: To examine the coexistence of fibroids and ultrasonically diagnosed polycystic ovaries (PCO) and their combined effects on the uterine artery blood flow in relation to age and parity in women with regular menstruation.

Study Design: One thousand seventy women, 18-40 years old, with gynecologic or infertility problems, were investigated with transvaginal ultrasound for uterine fibroids and PCO. A subgroup of 468 patients with regular cycles had repeated examinations up to ovulation time.

Prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome by early aspiration of small follicles in hyper-responsive patients with polycystic ovaries during assisted reproductive treatment cycles.

Objective: This study was designed to assess the efficacy of early aspiration of small follicles (EASF) in preventing moderate and severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in women with polycystic ovaries who experienced excessive ovarian response during the early part of assisted reproductive treatment cycles (ART).

Study Design: EASF was undertaken transvaginally during 15 in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles in 14 women with polycystic ovaries who produced more than 20 small follicles during the early part of the cycle. A minimum of 10 small follicles.

Heterotopic pregnancy: successful management with aspiration of cornual/interstitial gestational sac and instillation of small dose of methotrexate.

Objectives: Terminating a corneal pregnancy without jeopardizing a coexistent intrauterine pregnancy.

Methods: A 29-year-old woman with a 4-year history of primary infertility became pregnant after in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. A heterotopic pregnancy with a left cornual and intrauterine sacs was confirmed by early transvaginal scan examinations.
