The Rate of Cesarean Section and Newborn Apgar score In Two Types Of Physiological Delivery and Facilitated Delivery in Mothers with First Pregnancy.

Introduction: Labor pain is often severe and its lack of relief can have a bad effect on the mother's physiological condition. Accurate measurement and appropriate treatment of pain is an important problem. There are several choices for the control of labor pain, however, each method has its own risks and benefits regarding its efficiency and availability; therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the rate of cesarean section and newborn Apgar in two types of physiological delivery and facilitated delivery among mothers with first delivery.

Effect of cell-free fetal DNA on spontaneous preterm labor.

Inflammatory phenomenon, including cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA), is one of the various causes of preterm delivery. Always, there is a trend in the prediction and prevention of preterm labor. Herein, the aim of this study is to assess the value of cffDNA levels in serum of pregnant women for prediction of spontaneous preterm labor.

MTHFR C677T and eNOS G894T variants in preeclamptic women: Contribution to lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress.

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the association between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) G894T polymorphisms with lipid peroxidation, total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and the risk of preeclampsia in preeclamptic women.

Design And Methods: We screened a sample of 198 unrelated women with mild and severe forms of preeclampsia and 101 unrelated women with normal pregnancy with the eNOS and MTHFR variants using PCR-RFLP method. Also, the serum malondialdehyde (MDA) and TAC levels were determined using HPLC and commercial kits, respectively.

Thrombophilic mutations and susceptibility to preeclampsia in Western Iran.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the frequency and the possible association between thrombophilic mutations of factor V Leiden (FVL) and prothrombin G20210A with preeclampsia among Kurdish population of Western Iran. We studied 198 women with preeclampsia including 128 women with mild and 70 women with severe forms and 101 healthy pregnant women with uncomplicated pregnancy. Among cases there were 23 women with early onset preeclampsia and 175 cases with late-onset preeclampsia.
