- The study aimed to compare mental health symptoms (depression, anxiety, stress) in pregnant women with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) versus those without RPL.
- It involved 47 women with RPL and 94 without, assessing their mental health using the DASS-21 scale and tracking pregnancy outcomes until delivery.
- Results indicated that women with RPL had significantly higher rates of moderate-to-severe mental health symptoms, and those with high stress levels had a greater risk of repeat miscarriages and preterm labor.
Objectives: To determine the efficacy of zinc sulfate supplementation in managing dysmenorrhoea.
Methods: In total, 103 high school students were randomised into an experimental arm (52 students) and a control arm (51 students) and received 40-mg zinc sulfate or placebo, respectively, over three cycles. Primary outcome measures were the mean Visual Analogue Scale score, which measured pain over three cycles, and the frequency of nausea and vomiting.

May 2023
Background: To our knowledge, there is no prior randomized trial on the efficacy of Mojeaga remedy (a special blend of Alchornea cordifolia, Pennisetum glaucum and Sorghum bicolor extracts) when co-administered with standard-of-care for correction of anemia in obstetrics practice. This study determined the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Mojeaga as adjunct to conventional oral iron therapy for correction of anemia in obstetric population.
Methods: A pilot open-label randomized clinical trial.
