pulsatile luteinizing hormone secretion in hypothalamic amenorrhea anorexia nervosa and polycystic Ovarian Disease during naltrexone treatment
Fertility and Sterility, 1992Co-Authors: Magda C. Armeanu, Gerda M J Berkhout, Joop SchoemakerAbstract:Objective To determine if chronic treatment with the long-acting oral opioid antagonist naltrexone can increase luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion in women with secondary amenorrhea. Design Prospective. Setting Large reproductive endocrinology unit of an academic hospital. Patients Three groups of women with oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea: (1) hypothalamic amenorrhea; (2) anorexia nervosa; and (3) polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD). Intervention Naltrexone 50mg every day for 4days. Main Outcome Measures Luteinizing hormone pulse pattern, frequency and amplitude, mean LH and FSH levels, measured by serial blood sampling over a 6-hour period before and after naltrexone. Results Naltrexone caused a significant increase ( P Conclusion The luteal LH pulse pattern in weight loss-related amenorrhea is caused by a non-opioid, undernutrition-linked factor.

A Quasi Experimental Study to Assess the Effect of Structured Teaching Programme on The Level of Knowledge Regarding Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease Among Students in Selected College of Nursing Kanchipuram District Tamil Nadu India
Global journal for research analysis, 2016Co-Authors: C. Lina, L.kulanthai Theras Mercy, Revathy. DAbstract:A quasi experimental study was conducted to assess the effect of structured teaching programme on the level of knowledge regarding poly cystic Ovarian Disease among students in a selected college of nursing, Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu. The objectives were to assess the pre & post test knowledge on poly cystic Ovarian Disease to evaluate the effect of structured teaching programme and also to associate the pre test level of knowledge regarding poly cystic Ovarian Disease among students with the selected demographic variables. Simple random sampling technique was used and 40 students were selected for the study. Structured questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge on poly cystic Ovarian Disease. The result revealed that the overall post test mean regarding knowledge on poly cystic Ovarian Disease (20) is higher than the pretest mean (19) and the standard deviation of the pretest &post test knowledge level on 3.71&7.61. After the structured teaching programme the paired‘t’ value was 12.59 with the p

Outcome of Ovarian Diathermy in Infertile patients with Polycystic Ovarian Disease
Gomal Journal of Medical Sciences, 2010Co-Authors: Sadia Razaq, Nargis Danish, Aziz Un-nisa Abbasi, Abdus SalamAbstract:Background: Polycystic Ovarian Disease is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by disruption of the regular processes leading to ovulation. The majority of women anovulation leading to infertility. This study was carried out to determine the outcome of Ovarian diathermy in infertile patients with polycystic Ovarian Disease. Methodology: It was a descriptive study conducted at Department of Obstetrics Gynaecology, Ayub Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad from July 2004 to June 2005. The study population included all cases presenting with primary or secondary infertility due to polycystic Ovarian Disease. All study subjects underwent a complete clinical workup including history, physical examination, relevant investigations. Minilaparotomy and Ovarian diathermy was performed in all patients. A regular follow-up was done for ovulation and conception rates for one year. The data were collected on predesigned proforma and analysed by SPSS version 10. Results: Eighteen (58.1%) patients presented with primary infertility, while 13(41.9%) had secondary infertility. Ovulation occurred in 21(67.7%) cases, while 16(51.6%) cases conceived the pregnancy. Nine (50.0%) cases with primary infertility and 12(92.3%) with secondary infertility had positive ovulation, p=0.013. Conception occurred in 6(33.3%) cases of primary infertility and 10 (76.9%) cases of secondary infertility, p=0.017. Conclusion: Ovarian drilling by diathermy results in ovulation and conception in significant number of infertile patients with clomiphene resistant polycystic Ovarian Disease.

Minilaparotomy and Ovarian diathermy drilling for clomiphene resistant poly cystic Ovarian Disease.
Journal of Ayub Medical College Abbottabad, 2003Co-Authors: Aziz Un-nisa Abbasi, Anwar Sultana, Raeesa Izhar, Shamshad Begum, Sadia RazaqAbstract:Background: This study was carried out to determine the effectiveness and safety of minilaparotomy and Ovarian drilling for sub fertile women with clomiphene resistant polycystic Ovarian syndrome. Methods: During a 2 year period (August 2000 to August 2002) 16 patients with polycystic Ovarian Disease were managed by minilaparotomy and Ovarian drilling by diathermy. All the patients underwent full infertility workup and then treated with cyclical clomiphene citrate for 6 months. Results: Six patients (37.5%) presented in age group 15–25 years. Eight patients (50.0%) were in age group 26–35 years. Only 2 (12.5%) patients presented in age group 36–44 years. Eleven (68.75%) patients had primary infertility. Five (31.25%) patients presented with secondary infertility. After treatment and 6 months follow up, ovulation occurred in 14 (87.5%) patients. Eleven (68.75%) women conceived pregnancy. Conclusion: Ovarian drilling is a powerful tool in the treatment of polycystic Ovarian Disease. Key Words: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome, wedge resection, ovulation induction.
