The efficacy of intrauterine misoprostol during cesarean section in prevention of primary PPH, a randomized controlled trial.

Postpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide. To compare the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage in women eligible for elective cesarean section (CS) delivery when using intrauterine misoprostol added to oxytocin versus oxytocin alone. This parallel randomized controlled trial study was conducted in two institutions in Egypt (Kasralainy and Aljazeerah hospital) 0.

Diagnostic accuracy of serum miR-122 and miR-199a in women with endometriosis.

Objective: To evaluate the value of serum microRNA-122 (miR-122) and miR-199a as reliable noninvasive biomarkers in the diagnosis of endometriosis.

Methods: During 2015-2016, at a teaching hospital in Egypt, a prospective cohort study was conducted on 45 women with pelvic endometriosis and 35 women who underwent laparoscopy for pelvic pain but were not diagnosed with endometriosis. Blood and peritoneal fluid (PF) samples were collected; interleukin-6 (IL-6) was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and miR-122 and miR-199a expression was measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.
