Extractions: Anovulation (no ovulation) is a disorder in which eggs do not develop properly, or are not released from the follicles of the ovaries. During menopause, anovulation marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. Although menstruation can take place even when ovulation does not occur, anovulation often leads to infrequent menstrual periods (oligomenorrhea). The disorder may result from hormonal imbalances; eating disorders; hypothalamic dysfunction; hyperprolactinemia; polycystic ovary syndrome; luteal phase defects; or tumors of the pituitary gland adrenal gland or ovaries. Other causes are primary ovarian failure, resistant ovary syndrome and autoimmune oophoritis Diagnostic test may include Serum assays LH (on days 13 and 15 of menstrual cycle, to detect midcycle peak) FSH Progesterone Prolactin DHEA-SO Testosterone and SHBG (for obtaining Free Androgen Index [FAI] or calculated free testosterone levels) CT scan or MRI scan of pituitary and hypothalamus Endometrial biopsy Ovarian biopsy Specific antibody tests

Extractions: Email: a.shelling@auckland.ac.nz Two articles in this issue of the Journal by Driscoll et al. ) and McAuley et al ) describe patients with premature ovarian failure (POF) with associated defects on the X chromosome which offer insights into the aetiology of this complex disorder. POF is characterised by secondary amenorrhoea, hypoestrogenism, and elevated gonadotrophins in women under the age of 40 years. It is a common condition and occurs in 1% of women under the age of 40 years, and will affect 0.1% of women before the age of 30 years.( ) POF is becoming a challenging issue for couples, particularly as women delay having families until later in life. Two significant consequences of POF are the loss of fertility, and the clinical effects of hypoestrogenism. Low levels of oestrogen from a young age appear to increase the risk of osteoporosis and coronary heart disease.( POF is clearly a heterogeneous disorder, and only a few causes can be identified.(

Extractions: HUMEGON® Organon Human Gonadotropin Human Gonadotropins Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Humegon (human gonadotropin) is a purified preparation of gonadotropins extracted from the urine of post menopausal and pregnant women. It contains follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), both of which are necessary for the normal gamete maturation (follicle ripening in the female and spermatogenesis in the male) and for gonadal steroid production. Unlike menotropins, human gonadotropin is standardized with hCG. Human gonadotropin is used to stimulate these processes in selected cases of disturbed gonadal function. It is generally used in combination with a gonadotropin with LH activity, such as human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). The combined treatment may be either sequential (in the case of ovulation induction) or concomitant (in the case of Leydig cell stimulation). tag_IndicationsIndications

Extractions: What's it all about? The doctor is usually both an obstetrician and a gynaecologist, although some have special interests and some sub-specialise further. There are overlaps between the two subjects, but essentially obstetrics is the science of pregnancy, and gynaecology is female reproductive medicine. In the course of obstetrics and gynaecology, you might also cover sexual health more widely, areas such as male reproductive health and infertility. The practice of obstetrics and gynaecology includes outpatient clinics, inpatients, theatre, assisting with deliveries and possibly some postnatal and neonatal care.

Extractions: We're the Infertility Pharmacy Fertility Medications Women have two ovaries located in the pelvis alongside the uterus. Their main functions are to release eggs and produce hormones. At birth, the ovaries contain thousands of eggs, each surrounded by cells that develop into small fluid-filled blisters known as follicles. When a woman is ovulating normally, each month one of these follicles will grow to about 20 millimeters in diameter and release an egg (ovulation). The egg then passes down the fallopian tubes, where fertilization occurs. The fertilized egg (embryo) travels to the uterus to implant itself in the lining (endometrium) and develop as a pregnancy. If the egg is not fertilized in the fallopian tubes, the endometrium is shed as a menstrual period about 14 days after ovulation. The normal female reproductive cycle is principally controlled by hormones released from several organs in the body. At the base of the brain, the hypothalamus gland produces gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) . This hormone, in turn, stimulates the pituitary gland to release two important reproductive hormones:

This study examines whether the course of adrenarche [rise of serum dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS)] and pubarche (Tanner stage PH2) is independent from ovarian function. Serum DHEAS levels (n = 867) were longitudinally measured in 111 girls with Turner syndrome between 1990 and 2002. Of these, 22 had spontaneous puberty onset (Tanner stage B2), and 45 had primary ovarian failure (POF). Serum DHEAS levels were assayed by chemiluminescence

Extractions: It is possible that the main title of the report is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Information on the following diseases can be found in the Related Disorders section of this report: The sole symptom of Primary Amenorrhea is absence of the first menstruation and the lack of a regular monthly cycle of menstruation. Other features may include lack of secondary sexual characteristics (i.e., the development of axillary hair and pubic hair), and incomplete or underdeveloped sexual organs (external genitalia) and breasts. Laboratory tests may reveal a deficiency in the functioning of the ovaries or an underactive pituitary gland. The hymen may completely cover the opening of the vagina (imperforate hymen). Primary Amenorrhea is usually caused by an excess or a deficiency of a hormone called gonadotropic-releasing hormone (GnRH), which is produced in the hypothalamus. Severe eating disorders (i.e., Anorexia Nervosa), crash dieting, emotional stress (i.e., depression), and obesity can cause Amenorrhea. Tuberculosis or Lymphoma can alter the function of the hypothalamus gland resulting in Primary Amenorrhea.

Extractions: March 1997 FORMULARY ADDITIONS Insulin Lispro (Humalog7) 100units/ml: 10ml vials Eli Lilly Insulin lispro is an analog of insulin indicated for the management of diabetes mellitus. It exhibits a faster onset, peak effect, and duration of action in comparison to regular insulin. After subcutaneous injection, insulin lispro is more rapidly absorbed than regular human insulin and more closely mimics the normal physiologic insulin response after a meal. Extensive studies have shown that insulin lispro has a rapid absorption after subcutaneous injection with good overall control of blood glucose and postprandial hypoglycemia. Studies have shown there are no significant differences in the adverse reactions of insulin lispro and regular human insulin. The main complication of insulin lispro is hypoglycemia, but this occurs less frequently with insulin lispro than with regular human insulin. Unlike other available insulin products, insulin lispro is a prescription only drug. Insulin lispro is intended for subcutaneous injection. Doses need to be administered 15 minutes prior to meals and are individualized based on metabolic needs, eating habits, and other lifestyle variables. Insulin lispro exhibits potency comparable to regular human insulin but its onset of action is more rapid following subcutaneous injection. When added to long acting preparations, insulin lispro=s absorption may be decreased. A 10ml vial of insulin lispro costs KUMC $20.61.

Extractions: Through the Eyes of Chinese Medicine All medicines can be categorized into their inherent energetic effects. This section will cover some of the most commonly used drugs in reproductive medicine, and provide its energetic function according to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. We can then apply the techniques of TCM to enhance their intended effect, while reducing their unwanted side effects. This greatly enhances their efficacy. One common drug given by Western medicine for infertility is the drug, Clomid. Clomiphene citrate is an orally administered nonsteroidal, ovulatory stimulant designated chemically as 2-p-2-chloro-1,2-diphenylvinyl phenoxy triethylamine citrate. Its potent action is indicated for the anovulatory patient desiring pregnancy. Its mechanism of action is that it is capable of interacting with estrogen receptor containing tissues, including the hypothalamus, pituitary, ovary, endomentrium, vagina, and cervix. It may compete with estrogen for estrogen receptor binding sites and may delay replenishment of intracellular estrogen receptors. Clomid initiates a series of endocrine events culminating in a preovulatory gonadatropin surge and sybsequent rupture. First, after a course of Clomid therapy, the pituitary gonadatropins increase. This initiates steroidogenesis and folliculogenesis, resulting in growth of the ovarian follicle and an increase in the circulating level of estradiol. Following ovulation, plasma progesterone and estradiol rise and fall as they would presumably in a normal ovulatory cycle.
