In recent years hypermedia has been popularised by the rise and rise of the World Wide Web (WWW) [4]. This allows users to access distributed documents and navigate between them by following links, references embedded in the document currently being viewed. However, it has been argued that the WWW is nothing more then a distributed file system [47] and that its hypermedia functionality does not...

The following review aims to examine the available evidence to guide best practice in preventing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). As it stands, there is no single method to completely prevent OHSS. There seems to be a benefit, however, in categorizing women based on their risk of OHSS and individualizing treatments to curtail their chances of developing the syndrome. At present, both A...

BACKGROUND To report a case of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) with right pleural effusion following controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. CASE PRESENTATION A 24-year-old woman had severe OHSS as a complication of gonadotropin stimulation. The clinical picture showed enlarged ovaries, massive ascites, pleural effusion, abdominal pain, and dyspnea. Beside the medical treatment, ...

Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) is usually iatrogenic and potentially life-threatening complication of ovulation induction [1]. It has been categorized into three types according to the proposed mechanisms; type 1 corresponds to the mutated FSH receptor (FSHr) genes; type 2 corresponds to the spontaneous OHSS secondary to high levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), which is the ...

Background: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an iatrogenic complication that occurs in the luteal phase of an induced hormonal cycle. The aim of this study is to assess the association of herbal regimes and OHSS. Materials and Methods: This is a clinical trial study. 110 married patients were referred to Dr. Rasekh clinic from Aug 2011 to Nov 2012. All patients had a vaginal ultrasou...

If ovarian stimulation is performed accordingly to new strategies available, the occurrence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome will be eradicated. The strategy is to stimulate all women with GnRH antagonist and in case of need to -induce final egg maturation with GnRH agonist.

BACKGROUND The role of radiology is of utmost importance not only in diagnosing s-OHSS but also in ruling out other cystic ovarian diseases and to determine the underlying etiology and course of the disease. We presented a radiological algorithm for diagnosing the various causes of s-OHSS. CASE REPORT A 26-year-old female, gravida one was referred to radiology department with history of lower...

Final oocyte maturation is a crucial step in in vitro fertilization, traditionally achieved with a single bolus of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) given 36 hours before oocyte retrieval. This bolus exposes the patient to the risks of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), particularly in the face of ovarian hyper-response to gonadotropins. Although multiple measures were developed to prev...

thromboembolic phenomena are the serious consequences of assisted reproductive technology. we present a case of cerebral sinus vein thrombosis (cvst) following ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (ohss). ten days after recovering from ohss, the patient presented in the emergency department with thunderclap headache. her magnetic resonance venography (mrv) showed occluded left transverse sinus an...
