Impact of Treatment Induced Premature Menopause on Quality of Life
MenopausePrematureTo understand the impact of treatment induced menopause on quality of life and sexuality following blood and marrow transplantation.
Genetic Etiology in Premature Ovarian Insufficiency
Primary Ovarian InsufficiencyGenetic Predisposition to DiseasePremature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI), first described by Albright in 1942, is defined as an increase in Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), an insufficiency of the ovarian function leading to an early menopause (<40 years of age).Today, only 35% of POI's etiology can be explained. Causes enlightening POI may be enumerated as follows, according to their frequency: genetic mutations, autoimmune defects and abnormalities detected on the X chromosome.The purpose of the study is to determine the frequency of the genetic abnormalities and polymorphisms described above in the POI Turkish population
Ovarian Laparoscopic In Vivo Activation of Ovary for Premature Ovarian Insufficiency
Primary Ovarian InsufficiencyThe OLIVA device will enable to perform shallow slashes on the ovarian cortex in patients undergoing oophorectomy. Prior to the resection of the ovary from the pedicle we will perform 5 parallel slashes 3 cm long. following oophorectomy investigation by the pathologist as to the depth of cuts and proximity to blood vessels and later.
Ovarian Histopathology and Laparoscopic Assessment of Premature Ovarian Failure
Premature Ovarian Failure25 women with Premature Ovarian Failure who attended Fayoum university hospital gynecology outpatient clinic (case group) and another group of 25 women with normal ovarian function (control group). *Pelvic laparoscopy and ovarian biopsy will be done ovarian biopsy preparation For assessment of autoimmune oophoritis, sections were immunostained with anti-LCA (CD45) monoclonal antibody
Genetic Analysis of Familial Cases of Premature Ovarian Failure
Familial Premature Ovarian FailureThe Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a rare syndrome observed in women under 40 who induced estrogen deficiency and often leads to infertility final. The etiologies of POF remain unknown in more than 85% of cases. There are 5-10 % of familial cases.The main objective of this study is to recruit, phenotype and genotype 20 families with at least two subjects with nonsyndromic POF in order to identify new loci using a single technical standard nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). This study will also include related population and population control.
Pregnancy Chances in Classic Galactosemia
GalactosemiasPrimary Ovarian InsufficiencyWith this study, in which the incidence of pregnancy in classic galactosemia patients is studied, we aim to provide new insights to improve counselling. Our hypothesis is that the chance that a galactosemic woman with POI becomes pregnant is higher than the 5-10% that has been reported for women with POI due to other causes. Chance of spontaneous pregnancy will be evaluated through semi standardized interview in women with classic galactosemia aged 18 years or older. During the interview, questions will be asked regarding fertility and pregnancy.
Ovarian Follicle Function in Patients With Primary Ovarian Failure
AmenorrheaHypoaldosteronism3 moreNo proven therapy to restore ovarian function and fertility is available to patients with karyotypically normal spontaneous premature ovarian failure. We know that one-half of these patients have primordial follicles remaining in the ovary, and these follicles can function intermittently. This is a diagnostic omnibus protocol that permits baseline clinical evaluation of patients with prematurem ovarian failure. The findings will determine patients' suitability for specifically focused therapeutic research protocols.
Levels of Selected Macroelements in Premature Ovarian Insufficiency
Premature Ovarian FailureAim: To evaluate plasma zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), selenium (Se), strontium (Sr), aluminum (Al), antimonium (Sb), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), potassium (K), barium (Ba) and thallium (Tl) levels in women with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and to compare the results with those of healthy subjects. Methods: This prospective study will be included 70 women with idiopathic premature ovarian insufficiency and 70 controls. The blood/urine/hair for analyses will be obtained at the early follicular phase of the menstrual cycle and plasma zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), selenium (Se), strontium (Sr), aluminum (Al), antimonium (Sb), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), potassium (K), barium (Ba) and thallium (Tl) levels will be measured using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry.
Establishing the Diagnosis Standard and Analysis the Risk Factors of POI in Chinese Women
Primary Ovarian InsufficiencyThe study aims to establishing the diagnosis standard of POI and analyzing the risk factors in Chinese women.
Establishing of an Early Warming System of Premature Ovarian Insufficiency
Primary Ovarian InsufficiencyPremature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a clinical syndrome defined by loss of ovarian activity before the age of 40 years. The POI guideline development group of ESHRE recommends the following diagnostic criteria: oligo/ amenorrhea for at least 4 months and an elevated follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level >25 mIU/mL on two occasion >4 weeks apart. Some clinicians and researchers proposed that POI was a progressive disease and there were three stages of POI: occult POI, biochemical POI, overt POI. However, there is lack of reliable indicators to assess the different stages of POI. The present study is to explore the change of menstruation condition, basal follicle-stimulating hormone, anti-müllerian hormone and antral follicle count during the development of POI, and whether those marks can assess the different stages of POI.
