AIM To evaluate the effect of antitubercular therapy (ATT) on an ovarian function such as ovarian reserve, ovarian dimensions, and ovarian stromal blood flow. SETTINGS AND DESIGN Prospective study design. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty infertile women with female genital tuberculosis (FGTB) without tubo-ovarian masses diagnosed by positive acid-fast bacilli culture or epithelioid granuloma on ...

To define ovarian follicular kinetics in the equine ovary during anestrus and the breeding season, the follicular population of pony mares was investigated at mid-anestrus and at the beginning and end of the breeding season. There was a clear effect of season on the exit of reserve (primordial and initiated) follicles since at the beginning of the breeding season we noticed a higher mitotic ind...

Ovarian reserve depends on the number of primordial follicles in the ovarian cortex. It was suggested that determining the follicular density directly by obtaining ovarian biopsy might be more accurate than current indirect biochemical and ultrasonic tests, especially for women in the later stage of their reproductive life. It might also be important and beneficial for young patients having che...

Adnexal torsion may occur in girls and adolescents. Often it is associated with ovarian diseases resulting in ovarian enlargement. Adnexal torsion may involve the ovary, fallopian tube or both, and the main sympton is acute pelvic pain. An 8-year-old girl complaining of acute pelvic and abdominal pain, who was previously diagnosed with precocious puberty and who received treatment with a GnRH a...

Background: Ovarian aging may be reversible. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) has growth factors that promote cellular proliferation and folliculogenesis. Recently published studies case reports suggest ovarian rejuvenation can done by PRP treatment. The objective of the study was to evaluate effect platelet on reserve markers such as anti mullerian hormone (AMH) antral follicle count (AFC) in sub fe...

Abstract Testicular development and function rely on interactions between somatic cells the germline, but similar to other organs, regenerative capacity declines in aging disease. Whether adult testis maintains a reserve progenitor population remains uncertain. Here, we characterize recently identified mouse interstitial expressing transcription factor Tcf21. We found that TCF21 lin are bipoten...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic surgery is the gold standard treatment for ovarian endometriomas. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of two different laparoscopic methods on sonographic indicators of ovarian reserve in the treated ovary. METHODS In this prospective randomized clinical trial, 20 patients with endometriomas were randomly assigned to undergo either laparoscopic cystectomy ...
