AI Article Synopsis

  • Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) can cause pleural effusion, mainly in young women undergoing ovulation induction treatment.
  • The pleural effusions associated with OHSS are classified as exudates, unlike the transudates seen in Demons-Meigs syndrome.
  • Typically, the pleural effusions in OHSS tend to resolve on their own over time.

Article Abstract

The syndrome of ovarian hyperstimulation is an exceptional aetiology of pleural effusion. It should be thought of any young women who are under treatment to induce ovulation. The effusions are exudates and not transudates as occurs in Demons-Meigs syndrome. The regression of effusions is usual.

Aim: This study compared the cost-effectiveness of two recombinant follicle-stimulating hormones (rFSH) formulations, Follitropin Delta and Follitropin Alfa, in controlled ovarian stimulation using cumulative live birth rates as an efficacy indicator.

Methodology: This retrospective study was conducted across five clinics in Japan from April 2022 to December 2023, involving 446 first assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles (200 with Follitropin Delta and 246 with Follitropin Alfa) were treated with rFSH monotherapy using either Follitropin Delta or Follitropin Alfa. We compared clinical outcomes such as cumulative pregnancy and live birth rates and analyzed cost-effectiveness using the cumulative live birth rates as the efficacy indicator and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER).

Myo-inositol plays a vital role in human health, functioning as a second messenger of FSH and facilitating the transport of glucose into the cell. Consequently, myo-inositol is regularly utilized in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), wherein it acts upon metabolic factors, improving insulin sensitivity and reducing total androgen levels. Patients with PCOS frequently suffer from infertility; thus, the use of myo-inositol has been explored in improving assistive reproductive technique (ART) procedures.

As part of a conventional controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) regimen, final follicular maturation is usually triggered by a single bolus dose of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). COH, which combines GnRH antagonist co-treatment with GnRH agonist(GnRHa) trigger, is often used in attempts to eliminate severe early ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and to improve oocyte/embryo yield and quality. Recently, the combination of GnRHa, with hCG trigger has also been implemented into clinical practice.

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autoinflammatory disease characterized by periodic fever, serositis, and arthritis. In women, FMF attacks can sometimes be triggered by the menstrual cycle. Once diagnosed, prophylactic treatment with colchicine is generally recommended.

We assessed the safety and efficacy of rhFSH-CTP, a novel long-acting FSH agent, in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for patients undergoing ART. A multi-center, open-label, randomized, positive-control, non-inferiority clinical trial was conducted. The study consisted of a phase III randomized design, with a 1:1 ratio favoring the rhFSH-CTP group over the control group.
