Heterotopic Gestation with Twin Intrauterine Implantation Following Transfer of Three Developmentally-delayed Embryos from Cryopreserved Oocytes: A Case Report.

Background: In vitro fertilization (IVF) data suggest improved live birth rates for embryos transferred at the blastocyst versus the cleavage stage. Embryos that have not reached the blastocyst stage by day 5 postthaw have diminished potential for implantation and live birth. Few data exist regarding embryogenesis and optimal timing of transfer for embryos derived from previously cryopreserved oocytes, but we report the case of 100% implantation following transfer of 3 developmentally-delayed embryos derived from cryopreserved oocytes.

Massive ovarian edema associated with a broad ligament leiomyoma: a case report and review.

Massive ovarian edema is a rare disorder in which there is marked accumulation of interstitial fluid in the stroma of the ovary. Grossly, the involved ovary is an enlarged solid mass with a smooth tan-white surface, easily confused with a neoplasm. Microscopically, it features diffuse interstitial edema sparing follicles and outer cortex, dilated lymphatic vessels, thick-walled veins, fibromatosis, and luteinized stromal cells.

Radiolucencies surrounding a smooth-stemmed radial head component may not correlate with forearm pain or poor elbow function.

Hypothesis: Radiolucencies surrounding the stems of smooth-stemmed metal radial head prostheses placed for comminuted radial head fractures are associated with proximal radial forearm pain.

Materials And Methods: Patients in whom 18 consecutive elbows that underwent metal radial head replacement with smooth stems for comminuted radial head fractures were assessed at least two years after surgery. Proximal radial forearm pain was assessed with a visual analog score (0-10) and elbow function with a Mayo index.
