Investigating the Post-Disaster Reproductive Health Challenges of Iranian Women: A Systematic Review.

Objectives: Disasters pose serious threats to people's health, including reproductive health (RH); therefore, we conducted this study to investigate Iranian women's post-disaster RH challenges.

Methods: This study was conducted as a systematic review, and all published articles until the end of May 2022 were selected by searching in international and domestic scientific databases, including Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, SID, and Magiran. The quality assessment of the studies was done using the Strobe checklist.

Blood Cells Parameters in Second Trimester of Pregnancy and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common complications during pregnancy. There is inconsistency between previous studies regarding the blood and inflammatory parameters levels among pregnant women and its association with GDM. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between blood parameters in relation to GDM.

The impact of a lifestyle promotion program on anthropometric and clinical manifestations in adolescents with polycystic ovarian syndrome: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Lifestyle modification can have beneficial effects on improving symptoms of ovary syndrome and anthropometric changes, particularly in obese individuals… However, it is not clear whether these affects in obese adolescents with PCOS are the same as non-PCOS adolescents. We had a study question" Can lifestyle promotion programs, which focus on changing behavioral habits, have an effect on anthropometric parameters and the manifestation of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in adolescents?"

Methods: This was a cluster randomized trial (CRT) that started from January 2021 and follow-up ended in March 2022. 128 participants included adolescent girls (from 14 to 18 years old).

Impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance in a prenatally-androgenized rat model of polycystic ovary syndrome in later life.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), one of the most common endocrine disorders in reproductive-aged women, is associated with metabolic disturbances. The present study aimed to examine changes in body weight (BW) and glucose and insulin tolerance in a prenatally-androgenized (PNA) rat model of PCOS compared to control with increasing age. Pregnant rats in the experimental group were subcutaneously injected with 5 mg of free testosterone on the 20th day of pregnancy, while the control group received the solvent.
