Introduction: Pelvic venous insufficiency (PVI) presents a significant clinical challenge due to its high prevalence, severity of manifestations, and risk resulting reproductive disorders. Data suggests that PVI progression in women is accompanied by nonspecific reaction changes. The aim this study was evaluate lipid peroxidation activity antioxidant defense mechanisms ovarian blood patients wi...

Abstract Ovarian reserve is essential for fertility and influences healthy aging in women. Advanced maternal age correlates with the progressive loss of both quantity quality oocytes. The molecular mechanisms various contributing factors underlying ovarian have been uncovered. In this review, we highlight some critical that impact oocyte during aging. Germ cell follicle at birth determines repr...

 The use of ovarian stimulation for infertility treatment is associated with side effects of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and potential cancer risk. This is also true in high risk women such as those polycystic with ovary (PCO) and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). In vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes was primarily developed to make IVF safe for women with PCO and at high risk of ...

Using measurements of circulating anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in diagnosing and managing reproductive disorders in pediatric patients requires thorough knowledge on normative values according to age and gender. We provide age- and sex-specific reference ranges for the Immunotech assay and conversion factors for the DSL and Generation II assays. With this tool in hand, the pediatrician can use ...

The ovarian reserve represents the stock of quiescent primordial follicles in the ovary which is gradually depleted during a woman's reproductive lifespan, resulting in menopause. Müllerian inhibiting substance (MIS) (or anti-Müllerian hormone/AMH), which is produced by granulosa cells of growing follicles, has been proposed as a negative regulator of primordial follicle activation. Here we sho...

The origin of the isolated secondary adrenal insufficiency is unknown in most cases. An observation of a group of over 100 patients with secondary adrenal insufficiency and coexisting autoimmune abnormalities suggests that autoimmunity could be a frequent cause of idiopathic secondary failure, similarly as in Addison's disease. We studied 176 patients with idiopathic isolated secondary adrenal ...
