Introduction: Prophylactic chemotherapy (PC) has been suggested to be effective in prevention of post molar gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (PGTN) in patients with high-risk molar pregnancies. The goal of this study is to assess the efficacy of single dose methotrexate as PC in terms of spontaneous remission, time to remission, and progression to PGTN.
Materials And Methods: Patients with molar pregnancy were recruited to the study and underwent cervical dilation and suction curettage.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to examine the prevalence of comorbidities among Arab patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to compare these rates with a control group without RA.
- The research included 439 patients with RA and 1756 matched controls, revealing that a higher percentage of RA patients (42.8%) had at least one comorbidity compared to 36.2% in the control group.
- Significant associations were found between RA and specific conditions like ischaemic heart disease, fibromyalgia, and cataracts, indicating RA patients have a much higher risk for these comorbidities.
Introduction: Ovarian granulosa cell tumor (OGCT) is a rare female pathology with few available demographic data. Besides, there are no comprehensive clinical characteristics regarding the OGCT in Iran. Thus, this study aimed to assess the clinical features and survival rate of OGCT patients in Iran to expand the scope of knowledge in this field.

We compared operation year-related mortality risk by race/ethnicity after high-risk operative interventions among patients receiving care within the VHA.
Methods: From the Veterans Affairs Corporate Data Warehouse and Surgical Quality Improvement Program, data were retrieved for 426,695 patients undergoing high-risk surgical procedures in non-cardiac, general, vascular, thoracic, orthopedic, neurosurgery, and genitourinary specialties between 2000 and 2018.
Introduction: The opioid receptor mu1 is a protein coding gene that can have different codes for a protein and may have variations (polymorphisms) affecting how opioids work. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of the most common opioid receptor mu1 polymorphism () and any relationship between this polymorphism and features following tramadol overdose.
Materials And Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of patients admitted with tramadol poisoning to an Iranian hospital.
