Unilateral vulvar edema after intraperitoneal Hyskon administration.

Two patients are presented who developed vulvar edema after intraperitoneal instillation of Hyskon. Regardless of the route of extravasation, Hyskon's high molecular weight and osmotic effects may lead to further soft tissue swelling. Correct diagnosis warrants the exclusion of wound infection, hematoma, or seroma. Special attention to ensuring peritoneal closure may lessen the risk for the development of this complication.

Nonsurgical ovum transfer as a treatment for intractable infertility: what effectiveness can we realistically expect?

Using previously reported human, primate, and cattle reproductive performance data, we developed a mathematical model to predict the cumulative probability of pregnancy per woman per month theoretically obtainable by ovum transfer. We then conducted a preliminary ovum transfer clinical trial and compared the results of that trial to the results predicted by the model. Based on the nine spontaneously ovulating fertile donors and seven spontaneously ovulating infertile recipients available for the trial, the model predicted occurrence of between 0.63 and 8.65 pregnancies during the 6-month period of the study. We actually obtained two pregnancies. The model further predicted, with sufficient numbers of donors to produce one match per ovulation for each prospective patient, that the probability of that patient becoming pregnant from ovum transfer ranges from 0.05 to 0.35 per cycle.

The effects of superovulatory doses of clomiphene citrate on spontaneous luteinizing hormone peaks in regularly ovulating women.

The effects of superovulatory doses of clomiphene citrate (150 mg orally every day for 5 days) on normal spontaneous menstrual cycles were studied in 16 women. Eight-eight percent of treatment cycles had clearly defined, timely luteinizing hormone (LH) peaks indistinguishable from those observed in normal cycles. Eight percent of treatment cycles did not have clearly defined LH peaks but were ovulatory. One cycle (4%) was anovulatory. Treated cycles were 2.1 days longer than previous control cycles (p less than 0.005). The follicular phase was significantly longer than control cycles (p less than 0.025) whereas the luteal phase was not (p greater than 0.05). There was a direct positive correlation between previous menstrual cycle length and follicular phase length in the treated cycle (r = 0.730, 0.01 less than p less than 0.05). The conclusion was that 96% of menstrual cycles of normally ovulating women remained ovulatory when the women were given superovulatory doses of clomiphene and that 88% of the cycles had clearly defined LH peaks.

Nonsurgical ovum transfer as a treatment in infertile women. Preliminary experience.

This report summarizes our experience with nonsurgical ovum transfer at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. In 29 attempts, 12 ova have been recovered and transferred. Two ongoing intrauterine recipient pregnancies have resulted from this preliminary research. There were two complications: one ectopic pregnancy in a recipient woman and one retained pregnancy in a donor woman who aborted spontaneously.

Effect of urinary bladder fullness on fundal height measurements.

Measurements of fundal height were obtained on 117 obstetric patients with a full and with an empty bladder. Statistical testing demonstrated a significant difference between the two measurements. A full urinary bladder can change fundal height measurements and thus be a source of false positive variations in the progression of fundal height. There is a need to establish a baseline (with the bladder empty) before measuring fundal height.

Granular-cell tumors of the vulva: a report of three cases.

Three black women were found to have granular-cell tumors on the vulva; in one, there were several additionally in other cutaneous sites. Although this benign neoplasm is uncommon on the vulva, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of nodular lesions on the vulva. Granular-cell tumors in multiplicity occur frequently and are not a sign of metastatic disease. This lesion has predilection for blacks. Pseudocarcinomatous hyperplasia occurs typically in overlying squamous epithelium and may be misinterpreted as squamous-cell carcinoma.

Pregnancy with microsurgical vas sperm aspiration from a patient with neurologic ejaculatory dysfunction.

Patients with neurologic ejaculatory dysfunction who wish to have a child commonly undergo electroejaculation, which, unfortunately, may fail to stimulate either antegrade or retrograde ejaculation of sperm. Even when sperm are obtained with electroejaculation, conception still may not be achieved. We describe the achievement of a pregnancy after the intrauterine insemination of sperm obtained from microsurgical aspiration of the vas deferens. The intrauterine insemination of electroejaculated sperm had failed to achieve a pregnancy on three previous occasions. The relative merits of vas sperm aspiration and electroejaculation as part of the assisted reproduction regimen for men who have neurologic ejaculatory dysfunction are discussed.
