Controlled Ovarian Stimulation- An Overview
•
0 likes•120 views
Controlled Ovarian Stimulation is a process that involves hormonal regulation of the ovarian follicles to maximize retrieval during Ovum Pick Up in an IVF cycle. It is a process where patients are put on hormonal injections of Agonists or Antagonists, along with gonadotropins to artificially regulate and maximize multiple follicular growth to retrieve multiple eggs. This is stimulated compared to a single follicle growth and egg maturation in a natural cycle.

PUERPERAL GENITAL HAEMATOMAS
This document discusses puerperal genital haematomas, which are collections of blood outside blood vessels in the genital tract following childbirth. It covers the types (infralevator below levator ani muscle, supralevator above), causes (injury during birth, coagulopathies), risk factors (episiotomy, instruments), symptoms (pain, bleeding), investigations (blood tests, imaging), and management (conservative for small, surgery or embolization for large). Prompt diagnosis is key as excessive perineal pain should prompt examination, and treatment may require resuscitation, antibiotics, and monitoring for recurrence of bleeding.
Pet in gynecological malignancies
PET scan plays an important role in gynecological malignancies by identifying malignant cells with high sensitivity. It has applications in initial staging of cancers of the cervix, ovary, and endometrium by detecting lymph node and distant metastases. PET scan is also useful for detecting recurrence through increased glucose uptake in cancer cells and can change treatment plans in up to 30% of cases. Overall, PET-CT provides benefits as a single imaging test for accurate staging and response assessment in gynecological cancers.
Fertility preservation 3
Fertility preservation options are important for cancer patients of reproductive age undergoing treatment. For women, established options include embryo freezing for married patients and oocyte freezing for single patients, both of which require delaying cancer treatment. Ovarian tissue freezing can be done at any age or relationship status and does not delay treatment, but reimplantation success is currently low. For pre-pubertal patients, ovarian tissue or testicular tissue freezing are the only available options. Future methods may allow in vitro gamete maturation or stem cell derived gametes. Multidisciplinary care and individualized counseling are key to help patients preserve their fertility whenever possible before cancer treatment.

Ovarian Stimulation Protocols
This document discusses various ovulation induction protocols including:
- Clomiphene citrate is commonly used as a first line treatment but some women are clomiphene resistant.
- Gonadotropins like hMG can cause multifollicular development and increase risks of complications like OHSS.
- A novel protocol uses a combination of hMG for several days followed by clomiphene to promote monofollicular development while reducing risks of complications. Initial studies found this protocol increased follicle recruitment over hMG alone without increasing LH levels or risks.

Fertility preservation in gynaec oncology
This document discusses fertility preservation options for cancer patients. It begins by outlining how cancer treatments can impact fertility through damage to reproductive organs and systems. For men, sperm banking is the most established option, though there are challenges around timing and ability to produce samples. Alternatives include testicular sperm extraction and intracytoplasmic sperm injection. For women, embryo cryopreservation has the highest success rate, while oocyte cryopreservation and ovarian tissue cryopreservation are also options. The document then reviews potential paths to parenthood post-treatment and challenges to fertility preservation.
IVF stimulation protocol- Agonist and antagonist
This document discusses protocols for using GnRH agonists in assisted reproductive technology (ART). It begins by explaining that initial studies found premature LH peaks occurred in 20-50% of cycles due to high estrogen levels, leading to poor outcomes. GnRH agonists were added to compensate for stimulation-induced changes.
It then describes the mechanisms of GnRH agonists, including their initial "flare effect" followed by downregulation of pituitary function. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of different GnRH agonist protocols (long vs. short), preparations, doses, and administration routes. Issues around optimal schemes, doses and types of agonists are examined through various studies. The document concludes by looking at strategies for preventing ovarian cyst
POOR RESPONDERS: Minimal Vs. Maximal stimulation
This document discusses poor responders in IVF treatment. It defines poor responders based on the Bologna criteria as women aged 40 or older, or with another risk factor, who have produced 3 or fewer oocytes in a conventional stimulation protocol or have an abnormal ovarian reserve test. The document discusses using lower gonadotropin doses (150-450 IU) for poor responders to reduce risks while still achieving pregnancy. It also analyzes the use of long agonist versus antagonist protocols, finding the long agonist protocol may increase maturity and lower cancellation rates for expected poor responders. Finally, it presents a study showing double stimulation protocols over 4 weeks can produce twice as many oocytes and blastocysts for poor

Lap ovarian drilling
The document discusses laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) as a treatment for ovulation induction in women with polycystic ovary syndrome who are clomiphene citrate resistant. It outlines the advantages and disadvantages of LOD. The optimal amount of thermal energy needed during LOD is debated, with studies suggesting 600 Joules per ovary or 60 Joules per cubic centimeter of ovarian volume may be most effective doses. Unilateral LOD appears to have similar outcomes as bilateral LOD but with fewer risks of adhesions. Larger ovarian volume, especially in the right ovary, correlates with higher ovulation and pregnancy rates.
Infertility and PCOS
This document discusses infertility and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It defines PCOS and outlines its diagnosis criteria. PCOS is diagnosed based on somatic or lab indicators of hyperandrogenism, oligo-anovulation, and polycystic ovarian morphology, while excluding other disorders. Treatment options for PCOS include weight loss, exercise, clomiphene, aromatase inhibitors, metformin, and gonadotropins. Long-term management may involve birth control pills, metformin therapy, and lifestyle changes to reduce risks of weight gain, hyperandrogenism, and cardiac or metabolic diseases.
Ovarian drilling
Laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) is a surgical treatment for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) that involves using cautery or a laser to puncture the ovaries. It was developed as an alternative to ovarian wedge resection. The main indications for LOD are PCOS patients who are clomiphene citrate-resistant and infertile. LOD works by reducing androgen levels and restoring the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. It has been shown to induce ovulation and increase pregnancy rates in many PCOS patients. While complications can include bleeding, adhesion formation, and potential risks to ovarian reserve, LOD remains an effective second-line treatment for infertility in appropriately selected PCOS

How to stimulate your patient for IVF / ICSI
This document provides guidelines for stimulating patients undergoing IVF or ICSI treatment. It outlines the typical IVF/ICSI treatment steps including pituitary desensitization, controlled ovarian hyperstimulation with gonadotropins, triggering with hCG, oocyte retrieval, fertilization, embryo culture, embryo transfer, and luteal phase support. It then describes two common protocols - the GnRH antagonist and GnRH agonist protocols - and provides details on gonadotropin dosing and timing of administration. The document also provides recommendations on patient evaluation prior to treatment, ultrasound monitoring during stimulation, factors to consider when determining gonadotropin dose, and endometrial thickness goals.
MRI in obstetric practice part 2
MRI uses magnetism, radio waves, and computers to create images of areas inside the body. It involves four basic steps: (1) placing the patient in a magnetic field, (2) transmitting radio frequency pulses, (3) receiving signals from the patient, and (4) transforming the signals into images using computer processing. MRI provides superior soft tissue resolution compared to ultrasound and allows for multiplanar imaging. It is useful for evaluating various fetal and maternal conditions like brain abnormalities, tumors, placental issues, and complications in multiple pregnancies. While a valuable tool, MRI also has some limitations including high cost, inability to be used in early pregnancy or if metallic implants are present, and longer scan times than ultrasound.
Ovarian stimulation
This document discusses different types of ovarian stimulation and anovulation. It describes four types of anovulation classified by the WHO and treatments for each. It covers controlled ovarian stimulation, types of gonadotropins used for stimulation including urinary and recombinant preparations, and protocols for use of clomiphene citrate, aromatase inhibitors, metformin, and gonadotropins in treatment. Adjuvant treatments to improve outcomes with clomiphene citrate are also discussed.
Fibroid and infertility
This document discusses types of fibroids and their impact on fertility. It describes 3 main types of fibroids - submucosal, intramural, and subserosal - and provides details on their classification systems. The document also summarizes several mechanisms by which fibroids can affect fertility, including effects on fertilization and implantation. It reviews findings on the relationship between fibroid characteristics like location, size, and number and fertility outcomes like pregnancy rates. The document concludes by outlining treatment options for fibroids impacting fertility, including expectant management, medical therapies, and various surgical approaches.
Fertility preservation lecture
1) Fertility preservation is emerging as an important discipline for cancer patients, as treatments can damage reproductive organs but survival rates are improving.
2) Established methods for fertility preservation include embryo and oocyte cryopreservation before cancer treatment begins. Experimental methods like ovarian tissue cryopreservation should only be offered in a research setting.
3) Options for both male and female fertility preservation should be discussed and offered to patients before starting cancer treatments that could impact fertility. This allows choices to be made without delaying critical medical care.
EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICAL TIPS FOR LUTEAL PHASE SUPPORT BY DR SHASHWAT JANI
This document provides evidence-based practical tips for luteal phase support. It summarizes various diagnostic criteria and treatments for luteal phase deficiency, including progesterone, hCG, and estrogen. While no single diagnostic test is definitive, vaginal progesterone is widely considered the most effective treatment due to its direct delivery to the endometrium. Progesterone supplementation is recommended over hCG to prevent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
