Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between ultrasonographic findings and serum progesterone and cancer antigen-125 (CA-125) levels in threatened miscarriage and to predict pregnancy outcome.
Materials And Methods: In a prospective comparative case-control study, serum CA-125 and progesterone levels were measured for 100 pregnant women with threatened miscarriage who attended the outpatient clinic or the causality department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Kasr El-Aini Hospital, Giza, Egypt, during the period from March 2013 to October 2013. Ultrasound was performed for fetal viability, crown-rump length (CRL), gestational sac diameter (GSD) and fetal heart rate (FHR).
Objective: To correlate vitamin D level in Egyptian mothers with that of their newborns, and examine risk factors related to maternal vitamin D deficiency.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out at the university teaching hospital in Cairo, Egypt. Serum 25(OH) D levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 135 pregnant women at ≥37 weeks' gestation immediately before delivery and in cord blood of their newborns.
Objective: To study various biomarkers in prediction of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
Patients And Methods: Prospective observational study included 400 pregnant women. Maternal serum sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), uric acid, creatinine and albumin were measured before 15 weeks of gestation.
