Fetal Neuroprotective Mechanism of Maternal Magnesium Sulfate: Proteomic Analysis.

Mg supplementation has been shown to protect preterm fetuses from white and gray matter damage, but the mechanism is unclear. The purpose of this study was to study the effect of maternal inflammation on the overall protein panel of the fetal rat brain, as well as the neuroprotective effect of magnesium-sulfate (MG). Pregnant rats at e20 (n = 6, 18 total) received injections of i.

The Efficacy and Safety of CO Laser Treatment for Sexual Function and Vaginal Laxity Improvement in Pre-Menopausal Women.

Background And Objectives: Vaginal laxity lacks standardized diagnosis and severity criteria. It is considered as a subjective complaint that reflects decreased sexual satisfaction due to vaginal loosening. Treatment modalities have included physiotherapy and plastic surgery.

The safety and efficacy of CO laser in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Conservative treatment is recommended as first-line therapy for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). We hypothesized that CO laser treatment would demonstrate safety and efficacy for women with SUI.

Methods: A prospective, open-label, cohort study of 33 women (mean age 43 years) referred from a continence clinic after urologist/urogynecologist assessment, with a verified stress urinary incontinence diagnosis based on urodynamic testing.

Fetal neuroprotective mechanism of maternal magnesium sulfate for late gestation inflammation: in a rodent model.

Maternal administration of magnesium sulfate (Mg) is used in humans to protect the fetal brain during preterm delivery. We sought to determine the neuroprotective mechanism of Mg in a rat model of late gestation maternal inflammation. Pregnant rats at 20 d of gestation (20 total, four groups,  = 5 in each group) received i.

Characteristics and Outcomes of Ptyalism Gravidarum.

Background: Ptyalism gravidarum (PG) is a condition of hypersalivation that affects pregnant women early in gestation. Symptoms include massive saliva volumes (up to 2 liters per day), swollen salivary glands, sleep deprivation, significant emotional distress, and social difficulties.

Objectives: To examine maternal and fetal characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of patients with PG.

Comparison between Lornoxicam and Paracetamol for Pain Management after Dilation and Curettage for Abortion.

Background: Management of postoperative pain has become a growing concern, even for minor gynecological procedures. Proper postoperative pain management has been shown to lead to earlier mobilization, shortened hospital stay, and increased patient satisfaction. The optimal means of reducing the pain of pregnancy termination has not yet been determined.

The effect of maternal hyperoxygenation on fetal circulatory system in normal growth and IUGR fetuses. What we can learn from this impact.

Purpose: The objectives of study were to assess and compare the effects of maternal hyperoxygenation on fetal circulation, in fetuses with intrauterine growth retardation and normal fetal growth.

Methods: Twelve singleton pregnant women with normal fetal growth and 12 singleton pregnant women with intrauterine growth restriction were recruited. Mean gestational age of 35.
