Impact of Ultrasound-Guided Transvaginal Ovarian Needle Drilling Versus Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling on Ovarian Reserve and Pregnancy Rate in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Study Objective: To compare the impact of ultrasound-guided transvaginal ovarian needle drilling (TND) versus laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) on ovarian reserve and pregnancy rate in patients with clomiphene citrate (CC)-resistant polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Design: A randomized clinical trial (Canadian Task Force classification I).

Setting: A university hospital.

Correlation between uterine artery Doppler indices and menstrual irregularities among levonorgestrel releasing intrauterine system and depot medroxyprogesterone acetate users: a prospective observational study.

Objective: To ascertain whether menstrual irregularities among users of levonorgestrel releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) and depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), were associated with changes in uterine artery Doppler indices or not.

Methods: This three-year prospective observational study included 102 women using LNG-IUS and 104 women using DMPA for contraception. Participants were followed at regular intervals over three years with performance of transvaginal ultrasound to measure uterine artery pulsatility index (PI) and resistance index (RI) before starting the method and at six months, 12 months, two and three years thereafter.

Predictors of poor obstetric outcome in women with systemic lupus erythematosus: a 10-year experience of a university hospital.

Objective: To compare the maternal and fetal outcome in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by a retrospective analysis from 2005 to 2010, and a prospective follow-up of pregnant SLE patients from 2010 to 2015 to find out predictors of poor obstetric outcome.

Methods: The study included 236 SLE pregnant females (retrospective group) whose data were viewed retrospectively from their medical records, and 214 SLE pregnant females (prospective group) who were followed prospectively to record their maternal and fetal outcome.

Results: There was a highly significant difference between the two groups regarding abortion, venous thromboembolism, prematurity, and intrauterine fetal death (p < 0.

Maternal and fetal outcome in women with gestational hypertension in comparison to gestational proteinuria: A 3-year observational study.

Objective: To assess the maternal and fetal outcome in women with gestational hypertension in comparison to gestational proteinuria.

Methods: This was a prospective 3-year observational study carried out at Menoufia University Hospital and included 106 patients with gestational hypertension and 124 patients with gestational proteinuria after 20 weeks' gestation. Enrolled patients were followed to assess the maternal and fetal outcome.

Lactoferrin versus ferrous sulphate for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy: a randomized clinical trial.

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lactoferrin in comparison to ferrous sulphate for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) during pregnancy.

Materials And Methods: This prospective, randomized, parallel-group, single-center study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Menoufia University Hospital, Egypt and included a total of 200 pregnant women in the second trimester with IDA who were enrolled and randomly assigned either to receive 150 mg of dried ferrous sulphate capsules or lactoferrin 250 mg capsules once daily for eight consecutive weeks. The primary efficacy parameter was the amount of increase in hemoglobin concentration by 4 and 8 weeks, the adverse effects related to iron therapy and the patient compliance to the treatment.
