Regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor-A and its soluble receptor sFlt-1 by luteinizing hormone in vivo: implication for ovarian follicle angiogenesis
·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2007.03.097

ObjectiveTo determine in vivo whether LH supplementation during the late follicular phase induces ovarian follicle angiogenesis in humans, as reflected by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A, its soluble receptor sFlt-1, and placent…

Do Soluble Cell Adhesion Molecules Play a Role in Endometriosis?
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.8755-8920.2000.430305.x

PROBLEM: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with diverse immunologic disturbances. Cell adhesion molecules are essential for the development of immune and inflammatory reactions. This study was conducted to investiga…

Massive retroperitoneal bleeding: a complication of transvaginal ultrasonography–guided oocyte retrieval for in vitro fertilization–embryo transfer
·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(00)00637-3
article 1999
Levels of soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 are increased in women with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(99)00015-1

ObjectiveTo determine whether plasma and peritoneal fluid levels of soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) are altered in women with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHS…

Reproducibility of Transvaginal Ultrasonographic Measurements of Endometrial Thickness in Patients with Postmenopausal Bleeding
·doi:10.1159/000010031

The aim of the study was to establish the reproducibility of transvaginal sonographic measurements of endometrial thickness in patients with postmenopausal bleeding (PMB). In a prospective blind study, two examiners measured the endometrial…

article 1997
Elevated levels of interleukin-6 in the follicular fluid at the time of oocyte retrieval for in vitro fertilization may predict the development of early-form ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(97)81489-6

ObjectiveTo determine the possible predictive role of interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) in the development of early-form ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).DesignNested, case-control study.SettingAn IVF…

Infected endometriotic cysts secondary to oocyte aspiration for in-vitro fertilization
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.humrep.a138789

Two weeks after oocyte aspiration for in-vitro fertilization, a 38-year-old woman with a history of endometriosis presented with abdominal pain and fever. On exploratory laparotomy, both ovaries were enlarged and contained seropurulent flui…
