Materials And Methods: This study was a blinded, randomized clinical trial. Treatment protocols were either single- (50 mg/m(2)) dose MTX or multi-dose (1 mg/kg MTX + 0.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of calcium & vitamin D supplementation in infertile women suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and to assess levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D in these patients.
Methods: In a case control study, 100 infertile PCOS women based on a randomly divided into two groups. Group I (n = 50) were treated with metformin 1500 mg/day, and group II (n = 50) treated with metformin 1500 mg/day plus Calcium 1000 mg/day and Vitamin D 100000 IU/month for 6 months.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability of vaginal washing fluid creatinine level for the diagnosis of premature rupture of membranes (PROM).
Method: A prospective diagnostic study performed in Shahid Sedoughi Hospital on 160 pregnant women (30 definite PROM, 30 no PROM and 100 suspected PROM) at 28-40 weeks of gestation. The vagina was washed by injection with a syringe filled with 3 ml of saline solution, and the washing fluid was collected from the posterior vaginal fornix and send to laboratory.
Objective: To compare the efficacy of Laminaria tents with Misoprostol for cervical ripening before surgical process in missed abortion.
Method: In a prospective study, 70 women with missed abortion were assigned to have either insertion of a 3 mm intracervical Laminaria tent (n = 35) or vaginal Misoprostol 400 μg (n = 35) on the day prior to suction dilation and curettage (D/C). The women were interviewed just prior to the D/C with regard to pain, vaginal bleeding, and cervical dilator preference.
Objective: This study was performed to determine the effect of antenatal corticosteroid the interval between administration and delivery affect on neonatal outcomes.
Material And Methods: An observational study was performed on all deliveries between 28-34 weeks gestation where delivery occurred vaginally after completing a single course of antenatal corticosteroid (dexamethasone). Women were divided into 3 groups on the basis of the interval from first corticosteroid dose to delivery (<2 days, 2-7 and >7 days).
