“…Both the basal serum AMH level (odds ratio, 1.7856; P = 0.0003) and serum E2 level on the day of hCG injection administration (odds ratio, 1.0005; P = 0.0455) proved to be significant predictors of OHSS by logistic regression analysis (9). Furthermore, some studies have demonstrated that the high risk factors associated with OHSS mainly include (6,14): (1) 6) having a history of OHSS (15,16). Studies have also shown that multiple follicles developed at the same time during the ovulation induction cycle, higher number of eggs obtained in the ART cycle and higher doses of exogenous human chorionic gonadotropin administration during the ovulation induction cycle, as well as pregnancy, may lead to an increased risk of OHSS (17).…”

ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to explore the risk factors of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) and to establish a nomogram model evaluate the probability of OHSS in PCOS patients.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed clinical data from 4,351 patients with PCOS receiving IVF/ICSI in our reproductive medical center. The clinical cases were randomly divided into a modeling group (3,231 cases) and a verification group (1,120 cases) according to a ratio of about 3:1. The independent risk factors correlation with the occurrence of OHSS was identified by logistic regression analysis. Based on the selected independent risk factors and correlated regression coefficients, we established a nomogram model to predict the probability of OHSS in PCOS patients, and the predictive accuracy of the model was measured using the area under the receiver operating curve (AUC).ResultsUnivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that FSH (OR, 0.901; 95% CI, 0.847–0.958; P<0.001), AMH (OR, 1.259; 95% CI, 1.206–1.315; P<0.001), E2 value on the day of hCG injection (OR, 1.122; 95% CI, 1.021–1.253; P<0.001), total dosage of Gn used (OR, 1.010; 95% CI, 1.002–1.016; P=0.041), and follicle number on the day of hCG injection (OR, 0.134; 95% CI, 1.020–1.261; P=0.020) are the independent risk factors for OHSS in PCOS patients. The AUC of the modeling group is 0.827 (95% CI, 0.795–0.859), and the AUC of the verification group is 0.757 (95% CI, 0.733–0.782).ConclusionThe newly established nomogram model has proven to be a novel tool that can effectively, easily, and intuitively predict the probability of OHSS in the patients with PCOS, by which the clinician can set up a better clinical management strategies for conducting a precise personal therapy.

Retroperitoneal abscess with pylephlebitis caused by lumbar acupuncture: a case report

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Retroperitoneal abscess (RA) is an unusual life-threatening disease that has insidious and occult presentations. Although the incidence of this disease is low, diagnosis and treatment are challenging due to its nonspecific presentation and the complex anatomy of the retroperitoneal space. Recently, we experienced one case of a RA with extensive thrombophlebitis of the portal venous system. Case presentation An 80-year-old male presented to the emergency room with symptoms and signs of septic shock; however, the decision making for diagnosis and treatment was difficult, as no clinical and radiological evidence supported key findings regarding the origin of sepsis. Although this patient eventually recovered after surgical drainage, we suggested that more straightforward diagnostic and treatment procedures were required in this patient to avoid possible critical complications. Through a retrospective review of operative findings, patient history, and microbiology, we found that the RA in this patient was caused by lumbar acupuncture, which is usually performed for the management of chronic back pain with long needles. Conclusion Early surgical intervention should be considered for RA whenever the patient does not respond to broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment. Acupuncture is a possible cause of otherwise unexplained soft tissue infections, such as RA, especially in Asian countries.

Puerperal Retroperitoneal Abscess Caused byClostridium difficile: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract: Puerperal retroperitoneal abscess caused by C. difficile can present with minimal symptoms. Prompt recognition, early surgical intervention, and optimal use of antibiotics can reduce morbidity and prevent death.
