Fertility after oophorectomy due to torsion

Saudi Medical Journal

Abstract

To investigate the prevalence of infertility in patients who underwent salpingo-oophorectomy due to adnexal torsion (AT). All adult women admitted to the Teaching Institution of the University of Dammam, Dammam, Saudi Arabia who underwent surgery due to AT between January 2001 and 2010 were included. Complete data was collected from the time of admission to the follow up. The data was entered into the database and analyzed. The data of 26 patients was available for analysis. The mean age (±standard deviation) at presentation was 22.19±4.4 years, and average age at follow up was 34.81±5.75 years. The average delay in presentation was 37.76±47 hours, and the surgery was performed at 45.07±48.57 hours. The right side was involved in 13 (53.8%) of the cases. Fourteen (53.9%) women presented with infertility. Eleven (78.57%) were treated for infertility, and 5 (45.5%) conceived. Patients who were younger at the time of torsion fared better with regard to pregnancy (p<0.03, 95% confidence interval:-6.85; <0.58). Patients who undergo salpingo-oophorectomy for AT have an increased risk of infertility and should be warned of this impending complication.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
