Liver damage induced by ovarian stimulation has been demonstrated in some cases reported in the literature. However, there has never been a fruitful debate on this topic. The present manuscript tried to fill this gap. We reported a case of a 35-year-old nulliparous woman admitted to our obstetric emergency room for severe pre-eclampsia. She had been subjected to four cycles of controlled ovaria...

In vitro fertilization (IVF) and other assisted reproductive technologies present an enormous hope to couples with fertility difficulties. Assisted reproductive technology is one of the risk factors that can result in anxiety in these couples. Indeed, IVF-treatments cause a stress, for both the woman and her partner. The different stages of the IVF-procedure can affect the emotional life of the...

hyper ige syndrome (hies) is a rare primary immunodeficiency disease. most of hies cases are sporadic. hies type ad is caused by mutation in signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (stat-3). a number of mosaicism hies has been reported that is associated with intermediate phenotype. autosomal recessive hies (ar-hies) is due to mutation in dock-8 or cytokine sis 8 and tyk2 or tyrosine...

Ovarian torsion is one of the common gynaecologic surgical emergencies. stimulation in infertility treatment has become a major risk factor for ovarian torsion. The diagnosis condition challenging early pregnancy and timely can prevent morbidity both mother foetus. We present case 28 years old primi gravida known polycystic syndrome (PCOS) conceived after ovulation induction, at 7 weeks period ...

BACKGROUND Recently the laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) has been used as a surgical treatment for ovulation in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), although its mechanism and outcomes are still unclear. This study was undertaken to evaluate the in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcomes in clomiphene-resistant women with PCOS who were treated wit...

BACKGROUND Release of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) by ovaries in response to HCG administration is one of the main mechanisms of ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome. Since Dopamine/dopamine receptor2 (Dp-r2) pathway activity -mediated by VEGF/ Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR- 2) signaling-, is associated with angiogenic events, dopamine agonists were used for th...

Isolated unilateral pleural effusion is uncommon presentation of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. The pathogenesis of this syndrome involves an increased permeability of ovarian capillaries and mesothelial vessels triggered by the release of vasoactive substances by the ovaries under human chorionic gonadotropin stimulation. Physicians should consider this potentially life-threatening diagnos...

background: evaluation of anti-mullerian hormone (amh) cut-off levels in assisted reproductive technology (art) as predictive factor for individualization of stimulation protocols and to avoid ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss). materials and methods: in a retrospective study, 177 infertile patients were assessed for amh in serum and follicular fluid (ff) on the day of follicular puncture...
