Recurrent empty follicle syndrome.

We report a case of recurrent empty follicle syndrome over two stimulated cycles in a patient having immunological infertility. All follicles contained follicular fluid but aspirated granulosa cells were rarely observed. No oocytes were obtained from a total of 24 follicles.

Noninvasive evaluation of cardiovascular hemodynamics during multiple follicular stimulation, late luteal phase and early pregnancy.

A noninvasive hemodynamic study in three moments of the gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) cycle was carried out on 25 patients: before beginning multiple follicular stimulation (MFS) (study I); after rapid increase of serum estradiol (E2) (study II); and 12 days after GIFT (study III). In the 25 patients, the rapid increase in E2 proved to be combined with a significant increase in the left ventricular end diastolic dimension (LVEDD), the left ventricular end systolic dimension, the heart rate (HR), the systolic index, the cardiac index, and a significant reduction in the mean arterial pressure, in the systolic arterial pressure and in the systemic vascular resistence index. In the 14 pregnant patients in study III, all of the hemodynamic parameters studied proved to be significantly modified with respect to study I. In the 11 nonpregnant patients between Studies I and III were no significant cardiovascular modifications except for a significant increase in LVEDD in Study III. It is concluded that, during MFS, the rapid increase in E2 is combined with hemodynamic modifications and that, in pregnancy, the cardiovascular adaptation modifications occur in the very early stages.

Induction of ovulation for gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) using a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist and "pure" FSH: results obtained in 30 normally menstruating women.

About 30% of the ovulation induction cycles in GIFT and FIVET programmes are cancelled due to an inadequate response of patients to gonadotropins and/or clomiphene citrate. GnRH agonist-gonadotropins and/or "pure" FSH combination has been successful in inducing ovulation in patients with a previous history of cycle cancellation and/or alterations in the menstrual cycles. In order to reduce the number of cycle cancellations and obtain more homogeneous oocytes, GnRH agonist-gonadotropins and/or "pure" FSH combination in all candidates for GIFT and FIVET has been recently hypothesised. The Authors report results obtained from GnRH agonist-"pure" FSH combination in 30 normally menstruating patients of the GIFT programme: in 93% of cases the harvested oocytes were preovulatory, in 27.6% of cycles and in 28.6% of the GIFTs respectively an ongoing pregnancy was obtained. While the results obtained must be considered preliminary, they nevertheless suggest that the use of a combination of GnRH-agonist "pure" FSH in all patients in the GIFT programme may be of real clinical validity.

Birth after direct intraperitoneal insemination with frozen semen of donor.

For the first time, as least as far we known, a pregnancy and a normal baby obtained with DII with frozen semen of donor are reported. Our experience not only shows DII with frozen semen may be used successfully in AID but that it poses interesting hypotheses, to be verified in future, of its use in association with, or as an alternative to, GIFT and IVF/ET in cases of AID failure and as a first approach to an insemination technique in AID in general.

The direct IgG-MAR test (mixed antiglobulin reaction test): results and correlations with seminal analysis in 1176 men from infertile couples.

The direct IgG mixed antiglobulin reaction (IgG-MAR) test was carried out as a screening test and as a routine test of semen analysis in 1176 male patients from infertile couples. We correlated the results of the IgG-MAR test with the semen analysis parameters. The test was only positive in 3.1% of the cases; other Authors describe incidences of much higher positive results than ours, for which reason we emphasize that our patients had not previously undergone any kind of preliminary section. The positive IgG-MAR test proved to correlate significantly both with the number and motility of the spermatozoa, while there appeared to be no correlation between its positiveness and the other parameters of the seminal liquid.
