Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the prevalence of secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure among pregnant women in Cairo, Egypt, and explored their attitudes and knowledge regarding SHS.
- It involved a survey of 200 pregnant women in their third trimester, revealing that two-thirds had smoking husbands and a significant portion were exposed to SHS, particularly in rural areas.
- Despite high levels of SHS exposure, many participants underestimated the risks to themselves and their unborn children, highlighting the need for better education and awareness campaigns.
Objective: To evaluate the value of intrauterine platelet-rich concentrates among patients with intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis.
Methods: Four different databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and ISI web of science) were searched for the available studies from inception to November 2021. We selected randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that compared platelet-rich concentrates in the intervention group versus no injection of platelet-rich concentrates in the control group among women with intrauterine adhesions after operative hysteroscopy.

Objective: To evaluate piroxicam effect on different pregnancy outcomes among infertile women undergoing assisted reproductive technologies (ART).
Methods: We searched for the available randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in four different databases during January 2021 that compared piroxicam (intervention group) to placebo/no treatment (control group) in infertile women performing ART. We extracted the available data from included studies and pooled them in a meta-analysis model using RevMan software.
