Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in a renal transplant patient undergoing assisted conception treatment is reported. A couple with infertility secondary to tubal blockage and pelvic endometriosis received IVF treatment. Ovarian enlargement secondary to OHSS resulted in obstruction in the transplanted kidney and deterioration of renal function. No other systemic manifestations of OHSS were evident. Conservative management was successful and a twin live birth was later achieved by replacement of two frozen-thawed embryos.

Artificial insemination with motile spermatozoa prepared from HIV-infected men using standard procedures has been employed with many HIV-discordant couples. We have demonstrated that processing semen from HIV positive men can reduce HIV levels, measured as HIV1 RNA copies/ml using nucleic acid based sequence amplification (NASBA), to undetectable levels (less than 400 copies/ml) but not in all samples. We believe that all processed samples should be tested prior to insemination.

Sex determination using metacarpals and the first proximal phalanx was carried out on a sample (n = 60) of documented sex. Six measurements were taken on each of metacarpals 1 to 5 and the first proximal phalanx. Regression equations were calculated for determining sex from the bones. The equations were then applied to a second sample (n = 20) also of documented sex to establish the degree of accuracy they produced in assigning sex. The equations for metacarpal 1 produced the highest degree of correct sex determination and overall the degree of accuracy ranged from 74% to 94%.
