Ovarian Hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS) is one of the most serious and life threatening complication of ovulation induction and is a major concern and challenge for physicians involved in assisted reproductive technologies (ART). The main complication of OHSS is intravascular fluid and protein out flow into third space. Human chronic gonadotropin (hCG) increases vascular permeability by indir...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of markers of inherited thrombophilia in patients with severe form of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) DESIGN AND METHODS: Blood samples were analysed for markers of thrombophilia (mutation of factor V - Leiden, mutation of methylentetrahydrofolat reductase (MTHFR) C677T and mutation of prothrombin G20210A). The study group consisted ...

BACKGROUND Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an important and dangerous aspect of assisted reproduction techniques. Although elective cryopreservation of all embryos can prevent pregnancy-induced late OHSS, it cannot prevent early OHSS, which is induced by hCG administration. METHODS We undertook this trial to assess the efficacy with which the combined oral administration of angiot...

Induction of ovulation by gonadotrophins is one of the major developments in the treatment of infertility in the second half of the 20th century. Today, it is the treatment of choice for Ͼ40% of infertile women suffering from ovulatory failure. In addition, extracorporeal fertilization techniques, primarily in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer are used for mechanical problems, male ...

BACKGROUND Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) seems to be induced by the ovarian release of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which increases vascular permeability. Dopamine agonists inhibit VEGF receptor phosphorylation and thereby decrease vascular permeability. METHODS A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre study assessing three oral doses (50, 100, 200 ...

There are few reports on abdominal compartment syndrome that are caused by ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Here, a case of a 29 year old woman is reported in which intravesical pressure measurement was useful in the management of severe OHSS that had been complicated by abdominal compartment syndrome. The patient's urinary output and general condition did not improve after the initial...

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is a recognized complication of ovulation induction. Abnormalities in liver function have been considered to be a rare manifestation of the severe form of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). A 28 year old woman with primary infertility underwent ovulation induction and intrauterine insemination. She was diagnosed with moderate OHSS and was followed as an ...

This paper is focusing on some interesting issues about service publicity and usability while trying to move from the classic Open Hypermedia Systems (OHSs) to structural aware environments. Although the step towards structural computing provides a stable basis for new generation systems, these systems inherit from OHSs some long-period problems and aspects. Moreover, new usability problems are...

OBJECTIVE To report an efficacy of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist administration after freezing of all embryos for treatment of early type ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). METHODS In 10 women who developed fulminant early type OHSS after freezing of all embryos, GnRH antagonist (cetrorelix 0.25 mg per day) was started at the time of hospitalization and continued for...

OBJECTIVE Elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) were found recently to be a crucial marker for cardiovascular disease. This protein might have a role in endothelial cell activation, vascular damage and a thrombotic tendency. We sought to determine whether concentrations of CRP are altered in women with controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) or hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). DESIGN...
