The effect of complementary medicine on maternal health promotion: An experimental study.

Background: During the immediate post delivery period, women are particularly susceptible to distension of the bladder. Complementary and alternative medicine is becoming an established intervention modality within the contemporary health care system. However, very little is known about the impact of foot reflexology on the urinary system.

Abdominal Wall Leiomyoma: A Case Report.

Background: Fibroma or leiomyoma is the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive system, which is usually found in the uterus, but may also occur in other places, such as the ovary, the broad ligament, and in rare cases in the abdominal wall. The formation of the abdominal wall leiomyoma may result from the implantation of myometrium tissue following surgical removal of the uterine leiomyoma, but sometimes these masses occur in a person who has no history of myomectomy.

Case Presentation: This case was a patient who became a candidate for laparoscopy due to abnormal uterine bleeding and pain in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen and ovarian mass.

Enhanced delivery of melatonin loaded nanostructured lipid carriers during fertilization: NLC formulation, optimization and IVF efficacy.

In this study, the potential of melatonin hormone loaded in nanostructured lipid carriers (Mel-NLCs) in the fertilization (IVF) environment is investigated by measuring the oocyte maturation, the two-pre-nucleus embryo development, the two-cell stage embryo development, and blastocyst production on the oocytes of mice. Mel-NLCs are prepared using the hot homogenization-ultrasonication method. A response surface method is utilized to determine the best independent variables to obtain nanoparticles with a small particle size and high hormone entrapment efficiency.

Comparison of Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling Success between Two Standard and Dose-Adjusted Methods in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Background: One of the treatment methods for increasing the ovarian response to ovulation induction in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD). The optimal amount of the electrosurgical energy discharged in the ovaries to achieve maximum treatment response with minimal follicle injury is unknown. This study was performed to compare the success level of LOD by means of standard and dose-adjusted treatment methods among infertile clomiphene-resistant PCOS women.

Twin pregnancy in the unicornuate uterus and non-communicating rudimentary horn: A case report.

A unicornuate uterus is present in 0.1% of the general population. This müllerian anomaly carries significant obstetrical risk including abortion, preterm delivery, and rudimentary horn ruptures.

Successful Management of Spontaneous Quadruplet Pregnancy: A Case Report.

Triplet or higher-order multiple pregnancies are often caused due to ovulation induction. Spontaneous quadruplet pregnancy is a rare phenomenon which is associated with maternal and fetal complications. Here in, we report a spontaneous quadruplet pregnancy with no family history and as a result of an unwanted pregnancy.

Intrauterine synechiae after myomectomy; laparotomy versus laparoscopy: Non-randomized interventional trial.

Background: Leiomyomata is the most frequent gynecological neoplasm. One of the major complications of myomectomy is intrauterine adhesion (synechiae).

Objective: To evaluate and compare the rate and severity of synechiae formation after myomectomy by laparotomy and laparoscopy.

Evaluating success of curettage in the surgical treatment of endometrial polyps.

Objectives: To determine treatment efficacy of curettage on endometrial polyp.

Methods: The quasi-experimental pre-and-post study was conducted in 2011-12 at the gynaecology department of Imam Reza Hospital, Mashhad, Iran, and comprised patients who underwent hysteroscopy for endometrial polyp. Location, size, number and base condition of the polyps were recorded before the patient underwent curettage.

Effects of magnetized water on ovary, pre-implantation stage endometrial and fallopian tube epithelial cells in mice.

Background: Magnetized water has made many improvements in industry, agriculture and medicine. However its utilization in medicine still remains controversial.

Objective: In this study we aimed to investigate the effects of magnetized water on height of epithelial cells in pre-implantation stage endometrium and fallopian tube and number of corpus lutea in female mice.

The association between women's pelvic organ prolapse and joint hypermobility.

Objective: To determine whether joint hypermobility is associated with pelvic organ prolapse.

Methods: The case-control study was conducted from January to April 2011 and comprised 30 women with pelvic organ prolapse, stage > or = II and 30 controls with stages 0 and I with similar age and parity. They were recruited from the gynaecology clinic at Imam Reza Hospital in Mashhad, Iran.

The effect of extremely low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field on in vitro fertilization success rate in N MRI mice.

Objective: The effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) on reproduction systems have been widely debated. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether low frequency EMF could ameliorate the in vitro fertilization success rate in Naval medical research institute (NMRI) Mice.

Materials And Methods: In this randomized comparative animal study, ten NMRI mice were randomly divided into 2 equal groups (control and experimental).

Frequency and the type of chromosomal abnormalities in patients with primary amenorrhea in northeast of iran.

Objective(s): Primary and secondary amenorrhea are different from each other in that the former refers to a physiological failure in the onset of spontaneous menarche during the time when it is expected. whereas the latter involves the cessation of normal menstruation any time prior to menopause. In this study we aimed to investigate chromosomal abnormalities in patients with Primary Amenorrhea in Northeast of Iran by employing GTG banding.

The role of vitamin C in prevention of preterm premature rupture of membranes.

Background: Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is one of the most important complications of the pregnancy and cause perinatal morbidity and mortality. History of PPROM is a risk factor of recurrent PPROM. Vitamin C plays an important role in collagen metabolism and increases resistance maintenance of the chorioamniotic membranes.
