A Case of Recurrent Hemorrhagic Corpus Luteum with Elevated Follicle-Stimulating Hormone, Controlled by Estrogen/Gestagen Therapy by Yoshihide Inayama, Koji Yamanoi, Baku Nakakita, Shimpei Shitanaka, Jumpei Ogura, Tsutomu Ohara, Mie Sakai, Haruka Suzuki, Koji Yasumoto, Ichiro Kishimoto, Yusuke Sagae, Yoshimi Kitawaki, Koh Suginami

“…Besides markedly elevated FSH level, slightly elevated LH (31.2 mIU/mL), normal total inhibin B (35.3 pg/ml), abnormally low anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) (<0.03 ng/mL), and poor FSH response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone stimulation test were found. In the absence of FGA, we conclude that certain disorders of inhibitory factors for FSH function, including inhibin and AMH may exist, which could attribute to the patient’s symptoms. …”

Addressing Shortcomings in Contingency Standards of Care by Alexander Quan

“…The acute scarcity of critical care resources forced doctors in these countries to make allocation decisions at the bedside, which often resulted in de facto age-based allocation as well as experiences of moral distress and shame among providers.[4] In France, medical allocation guidelines and statistics were never released to the public, raising concerns over the role of transparency in implementing crisis standards and triage guidelines and causing the public to question the trustworthiness of provider triage.[5] Though many states in the US have crisis standards of care that can be implemented in the case of a large-scale triage event, these measures vary widely. …”
