Autoimmunity is a well-established causative factor of premature ovarian failure (POF), and evidence for the same has been well reported in the literature. Detection of specific autoantibodies remains the most practical clinical research marker of any autoimmune disease. Variation in efficiency and
The objective of this study was to compare premature ovarian failure animal models established by several different source of inducers. Female ICR mice, KM mice, and SD rats were treated by cyclophosphamide at 120 mg/kg, busulfan at 12 mg/kg, cisplatin at 3 or 4 mg/kg, 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide
Specific concerns regarding mature women with epilepsy (WWE), specifically epilepsy-associated issues during perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause, have been emerging in the epilepsy community. This chapter presents evidence that for WWE, seizure frequency may increase during perimenopause and
Serum anti-ovarian antibodies (AOAs) have been shown in autoimmune premature ovarian failure and in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) cases. The specificity of assays detecting these antibodies has been questioned. Researchers have used several techniques (e.g., ELISA and indirect
OBJECTIVE
To review our experience with low dose intravenous pulse cyclophosphamide in the treatment of patients with severe connective tissue diseases.
METHODS
Ninety patients (68F:22M) with severe connective tissue diseases received a total of 883 cyclophosphamide pulses with 78 of 90 patients
To date, no formal definition of female androgen insufficiency (FAI) based on strong epidemiological data exists. However the proposed key symptoms of FAI, being reduced libido, diminished well-being, and lowered mood, have been reported to respond well to testosterone replacement, generally without
The concept of a female androgen insufficiency syndrome, although not new, remains somewhat controversial. Androgens are quantitatively the predominant sex steroid in women, circulating in the micromolar and nanomolar concentration range, compared with picomolar levels of oestrogens. The most
Human ovarian tissue can be successfully cryopreserved, with good survival and function after thawing. Experimental animal studies regarding ovarian tissue cryopreservation resulting in live-born offspring preceded the present freezing systems in humans. On the basis of current knowledge, the
