Long-term impact of pregnancy on renal function among Egyptian women with lupus nephritis: A case control study.

Few studies tackled the long-term effect of pregnancy on lupus nephritis (LNs); thus, the study aimed to explore the long-term impact of pregnancy on renal outcomes in Egyptian patients with LN. Group I patients included females who had their first pregnancy after LN onset with ≥5 years elapsing after delivery; group II patients included females who had never got pregnant for ≥7 years after LN onset. Data were retrospectively collected at baseline (T) and the last visit (T).

Sexual dysfunction in Egyptian females with systemic lupus erythematosus: a cross sectional study.

Objectives: Sexual dysfunction in systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) patients is an important issue to be tackled. We aimed to study the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in SLE women and detect its association with depression, functional disability and quality of life.

Methods: This study included 94 SLE females.

Impact of Uterine Scar on Pain Experienced During Outpatient Hysteroscopy: A Prospective Blinded Comparative Study.

Study Objective: To study the impact of uterine scar on pain experienced during outpatient hysteroscopy.

Design: A prospective blinded comparative study (Canadian Task Force classification II-1).

Setting: Outpatient hysteroscopy clinic at a university hospital.

Amino acid chelated iron versus an iron salt in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia with pregnancy: A randomized controlled study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and tolerability of iron amino acid chelate (IAAC) and ferrous fumarate (FF) in treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) with pregnancy.

Study Design: A total of 150 pregnant women having iron deficiency anemia (IDA) were randomized to receive either IAAC or FF for 12 weeks. Hemoglobin, red cell indices, serum iron, and serum ferritin were measured at baseline and then 4, 8, and 12 weeks after treatment.

The impact of altering filling pressures in diagnostic outpatient hysteroscopy on the procedure completion rates and associated pain: a randomised double-blind controlled trial.

Background: Several studies have compared different distension media and analgesics to optimise the efficiency of outpatient hysteroscopy. However, studies comparing different uterine filling pressures are scarce.

Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare different uterine filling pressures during diagnostic outpatient hysteroscopy in an attempt to find the optimal pressure allowing adequate visualisation while minimising pain and increasing patient satisfaction.
