Comparison the Results of Hysterosalpangiography in Patients with Ectopic Pregnancy Treated by Laparoscopic Salpingostomy, Laparotomy, and Treated with Methotrexate.

Background: Ectopic pregnancy (EP) occurs in 1% of pregnancies, and may seriously effects on women's health and future fertility so this study aimed to compare the results of hysterosalpingography (HSG) after treatment of EP by laparoscopy, laparotomy, and methotrexate (MTX) therapy.

Materials And Methods: This was a clinical trial study was done on 112 EP women with treatment indication referred to Isfahan Al-Zahran and Shahid Beheshti Hospitals from 2017 to 2018. They were divided into 33 populated groups of laparoscopic salpingostomy, laparotomy and MTX.

Which Protocol is better for Treatment of Ectopic Pregnancy by Methotrexate? Single-dose or Multiple-dose.

Background: Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is the most common cause of death in the first trimester of pregnancy. Methotrexate (MTX) is an acceptable treatment in the cases with the lack of tube rupture or no important one, which has reduced surgical treatment. Despite numerous studies, there is still no consensus about medications.

Method and key points for isolation of human amniotic epithelial cells with high yield, viability and purity.

Objective: Human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs) which are isolated from the amniotic membrane have stem cell-like properties and immunomodulatory effects. Several protocols have been proposed for isolation of hAECs, nevertheless, there is no report concerning isolation of highly viable hAECs, with desirable yield, and without significant purity reduction. In the current study, a detailed protocol with some modification of previous ones is presented in which the amendments led to isolation of hAECs with high purity, yield and viability.

The effects of vitamin E supplementation on endometrial thickness, and gene expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and inflammatory cytokines among women with implantation failure.

Objective: Data on the effects of vitamin E supplementation on endometrial thickness, and gene expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and inflammatory cytokines among women with implantation failure are limited. This research was performed to determine the effects of vitamin E supplementation on endometrial thickness, and gene expression of VEGF and inflammatory cytokines among women with implantation failure.

Methods: A randomized clinical trial was done among 40 women with implantation failure aged 18-37 years old.

Omega-3 supplementation effects on polycystic ovary syndrome symptoms and metabolic syndrome.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common female endocrine disorder with unknown etiology and with different complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of omega-3 supplementation on PCOS symptoms and metabolic syndrome.

Materials And Methods: This double-blind clinical trial was performed in 2015 in Alzahra and Shahid Beheshti Hospitals, Isfahan, Iran, on 88 patients with PCOS.

Comparison of the effect of betamethasone versus dexamethasone on the amniotic fluid index in the women at risk of preterm labor.

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the biophysical profile parameters (BPP), especially amniotic fluid index (AFI), before and after administration of corticosteroids (dexamethasone and betamethasone) and these two groups with each other.

Materials And Methods: This double-blind clinical trial study was done on 70 patients for 28-34 weeks women having at least one preterm labor in their previous pregnancy has been submitted in Al Zahra and Shahid Beheshti clinic in 2012-2013. 70 women were randomly allocated in two groups.

Effect of sesame on sperm quality of infertile men.

Background: High level of semen reactive oxygen species is considered as an important factor in male infertility. Sesame has antioxidant properties, which could be effective on improvement of semen parameters. This study was designed to determine the effects of sesame on sperm quality.

The effect of using maternal care log book on pregnancy outcome in clients referred to private gynecologists and midwives offices.

Background: One of the important health indicators in every society is maternal and neonatal health status. Provision of the best prenatal care can reduce mortality rate in these two susceptible groups. This study focused on the effect of maternal care log book on pregnancy outcome.

The prevalence of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance according to the phenotypic subgroups of polycystic ovary syndrome in a representative sample of Iranian females.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with metabolic abnormalities which are also parts of metabolic syndrome (MetS). It is debated whether all women with PCOS should be screened for MetS and Insulin resistance (IR), since they may vary in terms of PCOS phenotype, ethnicity and age. This large scale study aimed to determine the prevalence of MetS among Iranian women diagnosed with different phenotypic subgroups of PCOS based on the Rotterdam criteria.

Effect of soy phytoestrogen on metabolic and hormonal disturbance of women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Background: Phytoestrogens are a group of plants derived compounds with weekly estrogen effect that appear to have protective effects on metabolic and hormonal abnormalities of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). So the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of soy phytoestrogens on reproductive hormones and lipid profiles in PCOS women.

Methods: In this quasi-randomized trial, 146 subjects with PCOS were divided into two groups; the experimental group who received Genistein (Bergamon, Italy) 18 mg twice a day orally and the control group that received similar capsules with cellulose for 3 months.

Icodextrin reduces adhesion formation following gynecological surgery in rabbits.

Background: Adhesion is a common complication of gynecology surgery so different barrier agents and solutions have been used during these operations to separate and protect tissues from adhesion after surgery. Adept is one of these solutions that have been postulated to reduce the chance of adhesion following gynecolgy surgery.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of 4% icodextrin in reducing adhesion formation in comparing with sterile water and human amniotic fluid in rabbits.

The prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome in Iranian women based on different diagnostic criteria.

Background: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in Iranian women based on different diagnostic criteria.

Material And Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2009 in Isfahan, Iran among females referred to the mandatory pre-marriage screening clinic. Menstrual irregularity was assessed as the presence of chronic amenorrhea or a menstrual cycle length of less than 21 days or more than 35 days, or more than four days of variation between cycles.
