Intrapartum versus postpartum insertion of intrauterine device in women delivering by cesarean section.

Background: The intrauterine device (IUD), being a reversible and effective contraception method, is the most widely used worldwide. This study aims to demonstrate the efficacy of IUD insertion during elective lower segment cesarean section (LSCS) versus its insertion six weeks postpartum.

Methods: A cohort study was conducted on 200 women planned for elective cesarean delivery and desired IUD as a contraceptive method.

Effect of maternal BMI on labor outcomes in primigravida pregnant women.

Background: This study aims to detect the effects of increased BMI on labor outcomes in primigravida pregnant women.

Methods: A cross-sectional study involved 600 full-term singleton primigravida pregnant women who presented in the active phase of labor to the labor ward. They were divided according to BMI into three equals groups; women with normal BMI (group I), overweight women (group II), and women with class I obesity (group III).

Role of first-trimester three-dimensional (3D) power Doppler of placental blood flow and 3D placental volume in early prediction of pre-eclampsia.

Objective: To assess the efficacy of first-trimester three-dimensional (3D) placental volume as well as 3D power Doppler of placental vascular indices for early prediction of pre-eclampsia.

Methods: The prospective cohort study included over 2019 women with a singleton pregnancy in their first trimester at 11-13+ weeks of pregnancy. All women were examined by 3D abdominal ultrasound, including Doppler techniques for the placental volume and placental vascular indices.

Role of 3-D Transvaginal Ultrasonography in Women Undergoing in Vitro Fertilization/Intra-cytoplasmic Sperm Injection.

Both 2-D and 3-D transvaginal ultrasonography are effective imaging modalities for assessment of ovarian reserve. Our aim was to compare both modalities in assessment of ovarian reserve of women undergoing in vitro fertilization/intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI). Fifty women were scheduled according to their menstrual cycle to be examined by both 2-D and 3-D transvaginal ultrasonography.

The role of levonorgestrel intra-uterine system in the management of adenomyosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies.

Introduction: The levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) is a long-acting hormone-releasing uterine device that has many non-contraceptive benefits. The study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of LNG-IUS in the management of adenomyosis.

Material And Methods: We searched the following bibliographic databases: MEDLINE via PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), EMBASE and Google Scholar for the relevant studies which used LNG-IUS in management of patients with clinically or ultrasonographic diagnosed adenomyosis.

The value of amniopatch in pregnancies associated with spontaneous preterm premature rupture of fetal membranes: a randomized controlled trial.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of amniopatch in pregnancies associated with spontaneous preterm premature rupture of fetal membranes (PPROM). A randomized controlled trial that involved 100 women diagnosed with PPROM between 24 and 34 weeks of gestational age. Participants were randomized equally into two groups.

The Effect of Antenatal Vaginal Progesterone Administration on Uterine, Umbilical, and Fetal Middle Cerebral Artery Doppler Flow: A Cohort Study.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of vaginal progesterone (P) administration during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy on Doppler velocimetry of uterine, umbilical, and middle cerebral vessels.

Study Design: A prospective cohort study conducted on 80 women at risk for preterm labor. Uterine artery, umbilical artery, and middle cerebral artery (MCA) Doppler indices were measured before and after 1 week of administration of 200 mg twice daily vaginal P.

Prognostic accuracy of cerebroplacental ratio for adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnancies complicated with severe pre-eclampsia; a prospective cohort study.

Objective: The current study aims to assess the efficacy of fetal middle cerebral artery/umbilical artery pulsatility index ratio (cerebroplacental ratio CPR) in predicting the occurrence of adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnancies complicated with severe pre-eclampsia.

Materials And Methods: This cohort study included 100 pregnant women between 34 and 40 weeks of gestation attended the labor ward and diagnosed with severe pre-eclampsia. Doppler evaluation was carried out to measure the CPR.

Urinary tract injuries during cesarean section in patients with morbid placental adherence: retrospective cohort study.

Background/objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cases of lower urinary tract injuries during cesarean section with or without hysterectomy in cases with morbid placental adherence.

Methods: This record based retrospective study was conducted at Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital in Cairo, Egypt during the period between January 2014 and December 2016. It included all patients who had urinary tract injuries during cesarean section with or without hysterectomy in the cases with morbid placental adherence and they were collected from files of pregnant women who were admitted at hospital planned for termination of pregnancy.
