Association of maternal serum vitamin D level with fetal pulmonary artery Doppler indices and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.

Purpose: Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is potentially fatal in infants. The present study investigated the association of maternal serum vitamin D level with fetal pulmonary artery Doppler indices and neonatal RDS.

Methods: This cross-sectional-analytical study was conducted on 260 mothers admitted for delivery.

Association between fetal liver diameter and glycemic control in pregnant women with gestational diabetes: A pilot study.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between fetal liver length (FLL) and maternal glycemic status in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), as well as to determine whether FLL measurement in the third trimester is associated with neonatal outcomes.

Method: A total of 51 singleton GDM pregnancies were included in this pilot study, and transabdominal ultrasound biometry and FLL measurements were performed between 34 and 36 weeks of gestation. Maternal indicators of glycemic control, including hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), fasting blood sugar (FBS), and 2-h postprandial blood sugar were also evaluated during this period.

Remdesivir in pregnant women with moderate to severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19): a retrospective cohort study.

Data on the efficacy of remdesivir in Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) are limited in pregnant patients since they have been excluded from clinical trials. We aimed to investigate some clinical outcomes following remdesivir administration in pregnancy. This was a retrospective cohort study conducted on pregnant women with moderate to severe COVID-19.

Prophylactic use of tranexamic acid for decreasing the blood loss in elective cesarean section: A placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial.

Introduction: Tranexamic acid is used as a known treatment of post-partum hemorrhage both in natural vaginal deliveries and cesarean sections, but its use in elective cesarean as a prophylactic measure to decrease the blood loss is not so common.

Objective: This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of tranexamic acid in decreasing the bleeding in women undergoing elective cesarean section.

Method: 200 term singleton pregnant women who were scheduled for elective cesarean section were randomized to 2 groups and received a bolus of 1 gm tranexamic acid if body weight was <90 kg and 1.

The Failure Rate, Related Factors, and Neonate Complications of Vaginal Delivery after Cesarean Section.

Background: The rate of Cesarean Section (CS) is high in Iran. A successful Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC) section can protect mothers against the risk of having multiple CS. This study aimed to evaluate the success rate of VBAC, related factors, and the causes of failure.

Risk factors and clinical significance of abdomino-pelvic free fluid after cesarean section: a prospective study.

Post-partum hemorrhage is a major cause of maternal mortality. Ultrasonography is a safe, rapid, and noninvasive diagnostic tool which can be used to identify and measure the abdomino-pelvic free fluid in post-partum period. This study was conducted to evaluate the risk factors and clinical significance of abdomino-pelvic free fluid after cesarean section.
