Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, School of Medicine, University of Ondokuz Mayis, Samsun, Turkey.

Published: February 2010

We report a case of pure gonadal dysgenesis with streak gonads in which spontaneous conception occurred 10 years after the diagnosis. Her pregnancy proceeded as normal, and she gave birth to a live baby at term by cesarean section. A lactation period lasting for 1 year and afterwards proceeded as amenorrheic. Gonadotropins measurements in post-lactational period were at the menopausal levels again. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of pure gonadal dysgenesis with streak gonads in which spontaneous conception occurred.

Background: Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people seek gender-affirming care at any age to manage gender identities or expressions that differ from their birth gender. Gender-affirming hormone treatment (GAHT) and gender-affirming surgery may alter reproductive function and/or anatomy, limiting future reproductive options to varying degrees, if individuals desire to either give birth or become a biological parent.

Objective And Rationale: TGD people increasingly pursue help for their reproductive questions, including fertility, fertility preservation, active desire for children, and future options.

Pure yolk sac ovarian tumor in a young female-Case report with brief review of literature.

SAGE Open Med Case Rep

Department of Pathology, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, Karnataka, India.

Yolk sac tumors (YSTs) of the ovary are the second most common primitive germ cell tumors accounting for 20% of malignant ovarian germ cell tumors. They are derived from primitive germ cells of the embryonic gonad and can undergo germinomatous or embryonic differentiation. They commonly affect women in the reproductive age group but have a favorable prognosis due to chemosensitivity.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to analyze the testicular morphology and histology of local pigeons at different maturation stages to gain insight into their reproductive health.
  • - Results showed that the testis retains an oval shape and exhibits size differences between the left and right sides, with significant histological changes occurring from pre-puberty (smaller with collapsed tubules) to post-puberty (larger, closely packed tubules with mature cells).
  • - The findings emphasize the importance of understanding testicular structure changes in pigeons to assess male reproductive system complexity and the role of sex hormones and various cell types in testicular function.

Aim: Research on the effects of methylphenidate on female fertility is limited. This study evaluated the effects of methylphenidate on reproductive function, oxidants, antioxidants, proinflammatory cytokines, prolactin, and cortisol in female rats.

Methods: Forty-eight albino Wistar female rats were divided into four groups consisting of 12 rats, which were given pure water orally once daily for 7 days (HG-1), 10 mg/kg methylphenidate orally once daily for 7 days (MP-1), pure water orally once daily for 30 days (HG-2), and 10 mg/kg methylphenidate orally once daily for 30 days (MP-2).

Background: Age-related reproductive aging is a natural and irreversible physiological process, and delaying childbearing is increasingly common all over the world. Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is considered a new and effective therapy to restore ovarian function, but the relevant mechanisms remain unclear. Recently, it has been found that there is a local Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in human ovary and it plays a key role.
