Evaluation of Liver Enzymes in Normal Pregnancies in a University Hospital of Zabol Iran: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Objective: Changes in endocrine, nervous, renal, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems during pregnancy have been studied, but changes in liver function have been poorly studied. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the trend of changes in liver enzymes in normal pregnancy.

Materials And Methods: This prospective longitudinal study included 68 pregnant women who were referred to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic of Amiral Momenin Hospital in Zabol in 2021.

Low-Level Laser Therapy Effects on Reducing Surgical Complications and Wound Infection after Cesarean Section.

One of the main problems in cesarean section cases is represented by postoperative pain that can cause delay in recovery and intense complications for patients. Therefore, the present study evaluates the effect and quality of treating infectious tissue and surgical complications using low-level lasers after cesarean section. In this clinical study, 240 candidates for the same type of surgery using the spinal anesthesia technique, were randomly divided into a laser treatment group and a control group.

Protective Effect of Ursodeoxycholic Acid on Liver Function in Pediatric Patients with Seizure Treated with Phenobarbital.

Epilepsy is a common and devastating neurological disease. Its treatment, especially when using phenobarbital, causes liver complications, and it is therefore essential to identify a way to reduce liver complications. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of ursodeoxycholic acid on liver function in pediatric patients with seizure treated with phenobarbital.

Evaluation of The Relationship between Cell-Free DNA Fetal Fraction of The Circulatory System and Fetal and Maternal Pregnancy Prognosis: A Prospective Study.

Background: Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), sometimes called noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS), is a non-invasive prenatal genetic test using cell-free DNA in maternal blood. This method is used to diagnose fetal aneuploidy disorders such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18) and Patau syndrome (trisomy 13), which causes disability disorders or significant postpartum defects. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between high and low fetal fraction (FF) and prognosis of maternal pregnancy.

The Prevalence of Absolute and Functional Iron Deficiency Anemia in New Cases of Smear-positive Pulmonary Tuberculosis and Their Sputum Conversion Rate at the End of Intensive Tuberculosis Treatment Phase.

About one third of the population is infected with tuberculosis (TB). On the other hand, iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient deficiency in the world. A number of studies have documented anemia in patients with TB, however, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in patients with acid-fast bacilli (AFB) sputum smear-positive, and sputum conversion in these two groups of patients with absolute and functional IDA at the end of the second month of anti-TB therapy in Zahedan, Iran.
