The effect of uterine artery ligation in patients with central placenta pevia: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Placenta previa is major obstetric surgical risk as it is associated with higher percentage of intraoperative and postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), increased requirement of blood transfusion and further surgical procedures. The current study aimed to evaluate uterine artery ligation prior to uterine incision as a procedure to minimize blood loss during cesarean section in patients with central placenta previa.

Methods: One hundred and four patients diagnosed with central placenta previa antenatally and planned to have elective caesarean section were recruited from the antenatal clinic at Minia Maternity University hospital.

Mechanisms underlying the protective effect of montelukast in prevention of endometrial hyperplasia in female rats.

Objective: To study the possible protective role of montelukast in endometrial hyperplesia (EH) rat model, induced by estradiol valerate (EV).

Methods/materials: Thirty six female albino Wistar rats were classified into 7 groups: normal control, EV (2 mg/kg/day, p.o.

Hysteroscopic adhesiolysis: efficacy and safety.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hysteroscopic adhesiolysis in patients with intrauterine adhesions (IUAs).

Setting: Minia Maternity University Hospital, Egypt.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Prevalence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in patients attending Minia Maternity University Hospital.

Background: Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer of the genital tract. Wide use of screening programs can help in prevention of cervical cancer.

Objective: To screen and evaluate the prevalence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) by visualization of the cervix after application of 5 % acetic acid (VIA) in Minia Maternity University Hospital.

Evaluation of cervical biopsies guided by visual inspection with acetic acid.

Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) in determining the site, the size, and the number of cervical biopsies in patients with positive cervical cytology.

Methods: This study included 486 patients with positive cervical cytology who presented to the Gynaecological Oncology Unit of Minia Maternity University Hospital, Egypt, in the period between January 2008 and September 2011. Visual inspection with acetic acid was done for all patients.
