Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare maternal morbidity and prenatal characteristics between two groups of women with placenta percreta: those with extrauterine disease (group B) and those with disease confined to the uterus (group A).
- A total of 73 cases were analyzed, revealing significantly higher blood loss, injury rates, and complications in group B compared to group A, highlighting the increased risks associated with extrauterine disease.
- The findings suggest that specialized care for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is essential, as cases with extrauterine disease are more complex and lead to higher maternal morbidity, indicating a need for differentiation in treatment approaches.
: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a widespread endocrine disorder affecting 5-18% of females in their childbearing age. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of combining a low dosage of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) along with clomiphene citrate (CC) for stimulating ovulation in infertile women diagnosed with CC-resistant PCOS. : A randomized controlled trial was carried out on 300 infertile CC-resistant PCOS women.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: To evaluate the effect of performing laparoscopic ovarian drilling [LOD] before proceeding to in vitro fertilization [IVF] or intracytoplasmic sperm injection [ICSI] on the cycle outcomes in polycystic ovarian syndrome [PCOS] patients with high antimullerian hormone [AMH] levels.
Study Design: A retrospective case-control study.
Patients And Methods: The study was conducted in the Fertility Care Unit in our University Hospital.

Objective: To evaluate the value of myomectomy during delivery by cesarean section (CS) in pregnant women with uterine fibroids.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study of pregnant women diagnosed to have uterine fibroids during index pregnancy. Women who underwent myomectomy during CS (study group; n = 91) were compared with women in whom myomectomy was not performed during CS (control group; n = 87).
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effect of different timing of initiation of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) administration on the pregnancy outcomes in women with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).
Materials And Methods: A randomized controlled study was conducted on women with obstetrical APS. All participants were randomly divided at documentation of positive pregnancy test into two groups; early initiation group in which LMWH therapy was started once positive pregnancy test was established (in the fifth week of gestation), and later initiation group in which LMWH therapy was started after sonographic confirmation of fetal cardiac pulsation (in the seventh week of gestation).
Background And Aims: Magnesium is a physiological antagonist of NMDA receptor and a calcium channel blocker. This study was designed to test the analgesic effect of magnesium sulfate (MgSO) when added to epidural anesthesia in mild pre-eclampsia.
Material And Methods: Sixty parturients with mild pre-eclampsia were allocated randomly to two equal groups.
Objective: To describe the use of intrauterine inflated Foley's catheter balloon for control of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) during cesarean section (CS) in cases of abnormally invasive placenta previa aiming to preserve the uterus.
Methods: Retrospective case-control study of the data of women who underwent elective CS on abnormally adherent placenta previa was carried out. Women in whom inflated Foley's catheter balloon was used for control of PPH during CS ( = 40) were compared with a control group of women who underwent elective CS by the same technique but without use of intrauterine catheter balloon ( = 38).
Objective: To compare the obstetric outcomes of triplet gestations managed by early fetal reduction to twins with those managed by prophylactic cervical cerclage in women conceived with assisted reproductive techniques (ART).
Materials And Methods: Retrospective study of the pregnancy and neonatal outcomes of trichorionic triplet gestations achieved by ART and managed either by early transvaginal fetal reduction to twins (n = 53) or by prophylactic placement of cervical cerclage (n = 65).
Results: The pregnancy duration was significantly longer with fetal reduction and the incidences of delivery before 34 and 32 weeks gestational age were significantly lower with fetal reduction.
Objective: Attempting in vivo healing of cyclophosphamide-induced ovarian insufficiency in a mouse model using bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs).
Methods: Female BALB/c white mice were used to prepare a model for premature ovarian failure by single intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide (80 mg/kg). Ten mice were injected with BMMSCs and then sacrificed after 21 days for morphometric evaluation of the ovaries.
Aims: The study aimed to assess the efficacy of accelerating the process of coasting through adding gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist (GnRH-ant) on the day of triggering of oocyte maturation without withholding the GnRH agonist (GnRHa) in women at risk for developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
Methods: Retrospective case-control study of the outcomes of GnRHa cycles in which women were at risk to develop OHSS. Women who underwent acceleration of coasting (n = 50) were compared with a control group of women who underwent usual coasting (n = 57).
Purpose: To evaluate the value of vaginal progesterone therapy for reduction of preterm labor in asymptomatic women with twin pregnancies and sonographic short cervix.
Methods: This randomized controlled study was conducted in Mansoura University Hospital and private practice settings in Mansoura, Egypt. Of 322 women with dichorionic twin pregnancy, 250 asymptomatic women with cervical length of 20-25 mm at 20-24 weeks of gestation were included in the study.
