Sexual dysfunction in migraine-affected women: A prospective cross-sectional controlled study.

Introduction: Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a common health problem that is inadequately investigated in Arabic countries, especially Saudi Arabia.

Aim: To assess the prevalence and trace predictors of FSD in Saudi women who suffered from migraine headaches comparable to healthy women.

Patients And Methods: A prospective cross-sectional, controlled study involved 400 Saudi women complaining of migraine () and another 400 healthy-looking Saudi women () during three months; from January 1 to March 31st 2023, in Jeddah city, Saudi Arabia.

Assisted reproductive technology after the birth of louise brown.

Background: Public interest in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) has remained high since the birth of the world's first in vitro fertilization baby, Louise Brown, in the United Kingdom. ART allows scientists to manipulate the fertilization process in order to bypass some pathological obstacles such as blocked fallopian tubes and non-functioning ovaries in the females, and blocked vas deferens and low sperm count in the males. The purpose was to provide a historical outline and identify the researches that most contributed to ART.

Screening for Chlamydia trachomatis infection among infertile women in Saudi Arabia.

Background: Chlamydia trachomatis infection is a worldwide-distributed sexually transmitted infection that may lead to infertility.

Objectives: This study aims to report the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis infection among infertile women in Saudi Arabia.

Patients And Methods: A community-based study carried out at the obstetrics and gynecology clinic at Jazan General Hospital, Saudi Arabia.

A clinical epidemiology study of spontaneous preterm birth in Jazan, Saudi Arabia.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB) in Jazan, Saudi Arabia, and identify related risk factors.

Study Design: A case-controlled study was carried out at King Fahd Central Hospital in Jazan consisting of 420 Saudi married pregnant women who were referred with a diagnosis of spontaneous (not induced) preterm birth with or without a preceding preterm premature rupture of membranes and 420 randomly matched controls who were admitted with a diagnosis of full-term birth over a 1-year period. Data were collected by structured interviews with women and review of their medical records using a risk factor checklist.

Prevention of postoperative peritoneal adhesions.

Adhesions are bands of tissue that connect organs together. It is frequently reported after surgery and remains a major problem for health and society. Efforts to prevent or reduce peritoneal adhesions mostly have been unsuccessful, hindered by their empirical basis, lack of good predictive animal models and complexity of adhesion pathogenesis.

The onset of human parturition.

Background: Despite impressive progress in the science and technology of reproduction, the mechanism by which labour is initiated in humans remains obscure.

Objectives: As the labour in humans is a distinct event differs from what happens in animals, this study aims to gather the current theories that could explain when and why the onset of human parturition occurs.

Methods: In a comprehensive review study done at the School of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Bristol, United Kingdom, MetaLib, the university web-based electronic library, was cross-searched for the factors behind the onset of labour in humans through different medical databases such as; Allied and Complementary Medicine Database (AMED), BIOSIS Previews on Web of Knowledge, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Medline and Web of Science, in-addition to the relevant printed medical journals and periodicals.
