This document discusses prediction and prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in non-IVF cycles. It defines OHSS and describes its degrees of severity. Risk factors for OHSS include polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) history and high antral follicle count (AFC) or anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels. Prevention strategies discussed include using a low-dose gonadotropin protocol, monitoring estrogen levels and ultrasound findings closely, triggering with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist instead of hCG, and administering hydroxyethyl starch or cabergoline. The document emphasizes that primary prevention through risk assessment and modified stimulation protocols is crucial to avoiding

Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

1. OHSS in a previous cycle
2. PCOS (Met or LOD)
3. Young patient: ≤30 y
4. BMI: ≤20
5. Basal investigations (NICE, 2013)
Total AFC > 16
AMH>3.5 ng/ml (25.0 pmol/l)
FSH<4 IU/l

9. II. During stimulation
1. US :
Number of the immature follicles is more important
than the number of mature follicles in predicting
OHSS.
>4 follicles ≥ 14 mm
(Kamrava et al., 1982; Hugues et al., 2006).
Doppler: low intraovarian vascular resistance
Combination of E2 & US: best chance for prediction

10. 2. E2
High E2
<1000 pg/ml: No OHSS
1500-2000

11. Moderate OHSS.
Both ovaries are enlarged and are observed in the posterior cul-de-
sac.
The ovaries are in close contact and displace the uterus
anteriorly.
Both ovaries contain several large Aboubakr Elnashar unruptured follicles.
13. Prevention
OHSS must be prevented rather than treated

21. 2. Step down protocol in PCOS (2nd line)
• Mimics hormonal pattern in natural cycle.
• Starting dose: once dominant follicle of 12 mm
• Reduce dose by 37.5 IU sequentially
• Not preferred
Aboubakr Elnashar
22. 2. HCG
a. HCG Withholding:
Rationale: hCG is the main triggering cause of
OHSS
Cycle cancellation
financial and emotional implications, frustrates both
patient and physician
Cycle cancellation before administration of HCG is an effective strategy for
the prevention of OHSS, but the emotional and financial burden it imposes
on patients should be considered before the cycle is cancelled. (III-C)
Aboubakr Elnashar
23. b. Decrease HCG dose:
As low as 3300 IU
2000 IU: ineffective, lower successful oocyte recovery
(Kashyab et al, 2010).
does not prevent OHSS
(Kol, Dor, 2009)
There is no clear evidence that lowering HCG dose
will result in a decrease in the rate of OHSS. (III)
Aboubakr Elnashar
24. d. Replacement of hCG
a.HP HCG (Choriomon): No difference
b.Rec HCG: (Ovitrell) No difference
d. Rec LH (Luveris)
safer than hCG
too expensive
Dosage:15,000–30,000 IU
The use of either LH or HCG for final oocyte
maturation does not influence the incidence of
OHSS. (I)
Aboubakr Elnashar
25. d. GnRHa
No cases of moderate/severe OHSS in 1,152 cycles
Requires use of GnRHan in COS
GnRHa short half-life (3-5 h) eliminates the risk of
OHSS in nonconception cycles.
PR: 17%, with a low rate of multiple pregnancy.
Aboubakr Elnashar
26. 3. Progesterone for LPS not HCG.
Progesterone, rather than HCG, should be used for
LPS. (I-A)
Aboubakr Elnashar
27. II. Monitoring in superovulation
I. US
• Assessing the follicular maturity
• Growth rate: 2- 3 mm/d in a stimulated cycle.
• Follicle 18—20 mm: contain a mature oocyte.
Serial
D5-7 of stimulation. D4: PCOS
Repeat /2-3 d depending on the size of leading follicle,
until it is 18 mm
Aboubakr Elnashar
28. a. Follicles:
number & size
Documentation of all follicles >10 mm {predict the
risk of multiple pregnancies}.
1 or 2 follicles 18-20 mm: HCG
>4 follicles ≥ 14 mm: stop HCG
(Kamrava et al., 1982; Hugues et al., 2006).
Aboubakr Elnashar
29. II. E2
• Correlates closely with the stage of development
of the dominant follicle
• D8 stimulation E2 >200 pg / ml indicates adequate
dose of Gnt (Speroff et al, 2006).
E2 on day of HCG
<200
500-1500 1500-2000 >2000

Aboubakr Elnashar
30. III. Modification of technique
Rescue IVF
If we convert to IVF + freeze all embryos and then ET in next cycle (as
cases with very high E2 levels are not only at high risk for OHSS but also
lead to “out of phase endometrium” with lower implantation rates).
Aboubakr Elnashar
31. IV. Adjuvant
1 - IV albumin:
Immediately on the day of hCG
Effectiveness:
IV albumin does not reduce severe OHSS.
(Youssef, Al-Inany et al, Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2011; Venetis : a
systematic review and metaanalysis.2011)
Albumin or other plasma expanders at the time of egg retrieval are not
recommended for the prevention of OHSS. (I-E)
Aboubakr Elnashar
32. 2. 6% HES
slow infusion of 500 mL of 6% HES on day of
HCG
significantly reduced the incidence of moderate-severe
OHSS
HAES Sterile= HES (6%) in isotonic saline or
Voluven= 500 ml (68 EP)
Aboubakr Elnashar
33. HES Vs Albumin
Much cheaper
More effective
No anaphylactic reaction
(Abramov et al,2001; Chen et al, 2003)
HES markedly decreases the incidence of severe
OHSS.
(Youssef, Al-Inany et al, Cochrane Database SR 2011; Venetis :
SR and MA. 2011)
Aboubakr Elnashar
34. 3. Dopamin agonist (cabergoline)
0.5 mg daily for 8 days from day of hCG
(Seow et al, 2013)
Type 2 receptors for VEGF are believed to be
involved in the pathophysiology of OHSS
Effective for the prevention of OHSS. without
sacrificing PR
(Esinler et al, 2013).
Reduces the incidence, but not severity of OHSS,
without compromising pregnancy outcomes.
(Yousef et al, 2010, SR and MA)
Aboubakr Elnashar
35. less effective for tt of OHSS.
(S R and MA., Baumgarten et al, 2013)
Cabergolin VS IV albumin
more effective and less costly
(Tehraninezad et al, 2012)
Cabergoline starting from the day of HCG
reduces the incidence of OHSS in patients at
higher risk and does not appear to lower PR. (II-
2)
Aboubakr Elnashar
36. 4. Metformin in PCOS
Mechanism
: reduction of intraovarian androgen by reducing hyperinsulinism:
reduction in E2 and favours orderly follicular growth in response to
exogenous GnT
reduction of AMH and a reduced insulne dependent VEGE (Tang et al
2006)
reduces the risk of OHSS
no effect on CPR or LBR
improves the rates of miscarriage and implantation
(Palomba et al, 2013).
The addition of metformin should be considered in
patients with PCOS because it may reduce the
incidence of OHSS. (I-A)
given 2 months before starting stimulation (Castello et
al 2006)
Aboubakr Elnashar
37. 5. Calcium gluconate
10 ml of 10% solution in 200 ml NS within 40 min of
OR and continued on day 1, day 2 and day 3.
prevent severe OHSS and decreases OHSS
occurrence rates
Ca gluconate Vs Cb2
comparable success rates
(Naredi et al, 2013).

Primary prevention
1. Prediction of OHSS from history, exam, and US
2. LOD in PCOS
3. Metformin in PCOS
5. Close monitoring during stimulation
6. Low-dose gonadotropins
6. Chronic low dose protocol
