HPV infection and endometrial polyps: insights from a case-control study.

Background: Endometrial polyps are common benign lesions characterized by localized overgrowths of endometrial tissue within the uterine cavity. The etiology and pathogenesis of these polyps remain unclear. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, known for its association with various genital tract conditions, has been investigated concerning endometrial polyps, although research in this area is limited.

Hysteroscopic‎ polypectomy with ‎endometrial resection preventing the recurrence of endometrial polyps: A single-blinded randomized clinical ‎trial.

Background: Recurrence of endometrial polyp following the hysteroscopic polypectomy is a significant concern for both the patients and physicians. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of combining hysteroscopic polypectomy with endometrial resection in reducing the rate of recurrence in women over 40 years old.

Methods: In a single-blinded clinical trial, 94 women with endometrial polyps who were unwilling to future pregnancy were identified and randomly allocated to the intervention (hysteroscopic‎ polypectomy + endometrial resection) ‎and control group (hysteroscopic‎ polypectomy alone) group (n=47/each).

The effect of vitamin D on recurrence of uterine fibroids: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study.

Background: and purpose: A deficiency of vitamin D has been suggested as one of the principal risk factors for uterine fibroids (UFs). We aimed to investigate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on the recurrence of UFs.

Materials And Methods: In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study, women who had undergone hysteroscopic myomectomy from November 2017 to June 2020 were randomly given either vitamin D (1000 IU tablet; n = 55), or placebo (n = 54) daily for 12 months.

One-Step Resection via Hysteroscopic Myomectomy and Prostaglandin F2α for Large Submucosal Myoma.

Study Objective: To assess the efficacy of prostaglandin F2α (PGF) in hysteroscopic myomectomy of submucous myomas.

Design: Single-blind, randomized clinical trial study.

Setting: Teaching hospital, affiliate of Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.

Conservative Management of Ovarian Fibroma in A Case of Gorlin-Goltz Syndrome Comorbid with Endometriosis.

Ovarian fibromas are the most common benign solid ovarian tumors, which are often difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Ovarian fibromas, especially in bilateral cases, may be cases of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS), a rare autosomal dominant disorder with predisposition to basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and other various benign and malignant tumors. This case report describes a 25 year-old female with GGS, bilateral ovarian fibroma, endometriosis and septated uterus, which was referred to the Gynecology Clinic of Rasoul-e-Akram Hospital in October 2016.

Can combination of hysterosalpingography and ultrasound replace hysteroscopy in diagnosis of uterine malformations in infertile women?

Background: Müllerian anomalies are associated with infertility. Hysteroscopy as the gold standard for evaluating Müllerian anomalies is an invasive, expensive and risky procedure which requires enough experience. Transvaginal sonography (TVS) and hysterosalpingography (HSG) are less invasive procedures, but there is little known about the accuracy of these tests.

A comparison between serum levels of interleukin-6 and CA125 in patients with endometriosis and normal women.

Background: The purpose of the present study was to compare the serum levels of IL6 and CA125 in women with and without endometriosis. They were also compared in mild, moderate and severe cases.

Methods: In this case-control study, CA125 and IL6 levels in 76 women with laparoscopic proven endometriosis were compared with 76 women without evidence of endometriosis.

The effect of magnesium sulphate on postoperative analgesia requirements in gynecological surgeries.

Objective: Recent studies have shown the positive effect of magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) on pain reduction and postoperative analgesic requirements in patients undergoing surgery. We assessed the effect of MgSO4 on intra-operative and postoperative analgesic requirements in patients undergoing lower abdominal gynecological laparotomy.

Materials And Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 30 female patients at Rasool-e-Akram (referral and academic) hospital in Tehran from August 2012 to March 2013.

Presenting features of idiopathic versus secondary restless legs syndrome in pregnancy.

Background: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is the most common movement disorder in pregnancy, which can be idiopathic or secondary. There are limited comparative data regarding these two forms of RLS. The aim of this study was to compare clinical features of idiopathic and secondary RLS in pregnant women.

The influence of dexamethasone on postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgeries: A randomised, controlled, double blind trial.

Objective: Dexamethasone, as a part of multimodal approach, can decrease nausea and vomiting following laparoscopy in high risk patients. We performed this study to find out whether the dexamethasone can improve postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients undergoing gynecology laparoscopic surgeries.

Materials And Methods: In this double-blind randomized clinical trial, 91 patients who underwent gynecologic laparoscopic surgery in Rasool Akram hospital in Tehran during 2011-2014 were enrolled.

Prevalence and associated features of restless legs syndrome in a population of Iranian women during pregnancy.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of restless legs syndrome (RLS) during pregnancy and to evaluate factors associated with RLS in a population of Iranian pregnant women.

Methods: In the present cross-sectional study, 443 consecutive pregnant women admitted for delivery underwent an interview within 2 days of parturition. The diagnosis of RLS was established by the 4 criteria of the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group (IRLSSG).

Effects of simvastatin in prevention of pain recurrences after surgery for endometriosis.

Background: To compare efficacy of simvastatin with GnRHa (Decapeptyl 3.75 mg) on endometriosis-related pains following surgery for endometriosis.

Material/methods: Sixty women with pelvic endometriosis, after laparoscopic diagnosis and conservative laparoscopic surgery, were treated with either simvastatin (n=30) for 16 weeks or Decapeptyl (n=30) every 4 weeks for 4 doses.

Colonic obstruction as an unusual presentation of endometrioma: a case report.

Endometriosis usually occurs in the pelvis but can be found nearly anywhere in the body. Bowel involvement in endometriosis is uncommon and it is estimated to be present in 3.7% to 35% of women with endometriosis.

Cerebro vascular reactivity (CVR) of middle cerebral artery in response to CO2 5% inhalation in preeclamptic women.

Objective: To compare the cerebro vascular reactivity (CVR) of middle cerebral artery (MCA) in response to CO2 5% inhalation between preeclamptic and normotensive pregnant women, also, between mild and severe preeclampsia.

Study Design: A comparative study was performed on 61 women with preeclampsia and 65 normotensive pregnant women who were in the third trimester of gestation. MCA transcranial Doppler ultrasound was used to measure CVR in response to CO2 5% inhalation.
