Impact of Uterine Scar on Pain Experienced During Outpatient Hysteroscopy: A Prospective Blinded Comparative Study.

Study Objective: To study the impact of uterine scar on pain experienced during outpatient hysteroscopy.

Design: A prospective blinded comparative study (Canadian Task Force classification II-1).

Setting: Outpatient hysteroscopy clinic at a university hospital.

Does dehydroepiandrosterone improve pregnancy rate in women undergoing IVF/ICSI with expected poor ovarian response according to the Bologna criteria? A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To provide the best available evidence on the role of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) treatment in improving the outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in women with poor ovarian response (POR).

Study Design: A randomized controlled trial conducted in Cairo University hospitals and Dar Al-Teb subfertility and assisted conception centre, Giza, Egypt. 140 women undergoing IVF/ICSI with POR according to the Bologna criteria were randomly divided into 2 equal groups.

Carbetocin versus oxytocin in the management of atonic post partum haemorrhage (PPH) after vaginal delivery: a randomised controlled trial.

Objective: The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of carbetocin vs. oxytocin in the management of atonic post partum haemorrhage (PPH) after vaginal delivery.

Methods: A prospective randomised study was conducted in which 100 pregnant women were randomised into 2 equal groups: group 1 received Carbetocin 100 µgm (Pabal(®) Ferring, UK) and group 2 received oxytocin 5 IU (Syntocinon(®), Novartis, Switzerland).

The impact of altering filling pressures in diagnostic outpatient hysteroscopy on the procedure completion rates and associated pain: a randomised double-blind controlled trial.

Background: Several studies have compared different distension media and analgesics to optimise the efficiency of outpatient hysteroscopy. However, studies comparing different uterine filling pressures are scarce.

Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare different uterine filling pressures during diagnostic outpatient hysteroscopy in an attempt to find the optimal pressure allowing adequate visualisation while minimising pain and increasing patient satisfaction.

Carbetocin versus oxytocin for prevention of postpartum hemorrhage after vaginal delivery in high risk women.

Objective: To compare effectiveness and tolerability of carbetocin versus oxytocin in prevention of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) after vaginal delivery.

Methods: A prospective double-blinded randomized study conducted on 200 pregnant women randomized into two groups: Group 1 (100 women) received single 100 μg IM dose of carbetocin and Group 2 received of 5 IU oxytocin IM. Both groups received their drug after fetal and before placental delivery.
