Prediction of metaphase II oocytes according to different levels of serum AMH in poor responders using the antagonist protocol during ICSI: a cohort study.

The aim of our study was to assess the value of serum AMH in prediction of metaphase II oocytes in poor responders. We performed a prospective cohort study included 206 poor responders candidate for ICSI using antagonist protocol. They were classified into 3 groups.

Carbetocin versus rectal misoprostol for management of third stage of labor among women with low risk of postpartum hemorrhage.

Objective: To compare effectiveness and safety of carbetocin and misoprostol for prevention of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) among low-risk women.

Methods: Randomized controlled trial among 150 pregnant women with low risk of PPH admitted for vaginal delivery at Kasr Al Ainy Hospital, Cairo, Egypt, between July 2018 and May 2019. Participants were assigned to two groups by a web-based randomization system ensuring allocation concealment.

Antepartum and postpartum uterine artery impedance in women with pre-eclampsia: a case control study.

This is a cohort study which included 100 cases with pre-eclampsia (PE) and 100 controls, done to compare the antepartum and postpartum uterine artery (UtA) Doppler velocimetry between them. UtA PI and RI were measured before and within 48-72 h after delivery. There was a highly significant difference between the cases and controls, regarding the UtA RI (0.

Perineal massage and training reduce perineal trauma in pregnant women older than 35 years: a randomized controlled trial.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of perineal massage, pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) and a pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) prevention educational program in pregnant women above the age of 35 years to prevent perineal tear and episiotomy.

Methods: A randomized parallel assignment study involved two groups of pregnant women at the obstetrics outpatient clinic 4 weeks prior to their due date. The first group (n = 200) was educated to do digital perineal massage and pelvic floor muscle training and received an educational PFD prevention program.

The effect of rectus muscle re-approximation at cesarean delivery on pain perceived after operation: a randomized control trial.

Cesarean section rate has increased dramatically worldwide but there is still debate about the optimum operative technique of cesarean section. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of rectus muscle reapproximation at cesarean delivery on the postoperative pain. This study was a prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial.

Prevalence of sexual dysfunction in infertile versus fertile couples.

Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that sexual dysfunction is higher in infertile females in relation to normal healthy women through comparing total and sexual domains scores in both groups. The secondary objectives were: to determine factors affecting occurrence of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) in all sample and to determine factors affecting the different sexual domain scores within the infertile group.

Study Design: This cross sectional study was done at Cairo University Hospital.
