Assessment of decreased ovarian reserve and systemic inflammatory markers.

Given the significance of investigating ovarian reserve in infertile women, the limitations of existing diagnostic tests, and the absence of similar studies in this area, the present study aimed to examine the relationship between systemic inflammatory markers in patients with diminished ovarian reserve referred to the fertility clinic of Alzahra Hospital in Rasht in the year 2023. This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on 174 patients referred to the Alzahra Hospital fertility clinic in Rasht. Patients were divided into two categories based on their serum levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH):AMH >1.

Cell-free pregnancy-associated microRNAs in blood plasma as potential biomarker in early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy.

Purpose: Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is one of the life-threatening disorders in early pregnancy and current strategies are inadequate in its clinical management. There is a need to identify more accurate biomarkers for early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy.

Methods: This case-control study was conducted in a group of 35 women diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy and 31 women with a normal singleton pregnancy.

The effect of date fruit consumption on early postpartum hemorrhage: a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage, anemia, and iron deficiency are important health problems. Using safe, cheap, and available methods to reduce the amount of hemorrhage after childbirth can be effective for the mother's health during this period. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effect of date fruit consumption on the amount of hemorrhage after natural childbirth.

The association between reproductive history and menopausal symptoms: an evidence from the cross-sectional survey.

Background: During menopause, women experience annoying symptoms which may affect their daily activities and quality of life. This study aimed to determine whether reproductive history, an important indicator of estrogen exposure across the lifetime, is associated with the severity of menopausal symptoms in women.

Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study conducted on 214 women aged 35-65 who were randomly selected, and data was collected by a predesigned structured questionnaire.

Maternal death due to COVID-19.

Background: Despite 2.5 million infections and 169,000 deaths worldwide (as of April 20, 2020), no maternal deaths and only a few pregnant women afflicted with severe respiratory morbidity have been reported to be related to COVID-19 disease. Given the disproportionate burden of severe and fatal respiratory disease previously documented among pregnant women following other coronavirus-related outbreaks (SARS-CoV in 2003 and MERS-CoV in 2012) and influenza pandemics over the last century, the absence of reported maternal morbidity and mortality with COVID-19 disease is unexpected.

Proteome profiling of low grade serous ovarian cancer.

Background: Serous carcinoma, the subtype of ovarian cancer has the highest occurrence and mortality in women. Proteomic profiling using mass spectrometry (MS) has been used to detect biomarkers in tissue s obtained from patients with ovarian cancer. Thus, this study aimed at analyzing the interactome (protein-protein interaction (PPI)) and (MS) data to inspect PPI networks in patients with Low grade serous ovarian cancer.

Predictive value of maternal serum β-hCG concentration in the ruptured tubal ectopic pregnancy.

Background: Measurement of serum β-hCG concentration commonly used to diagnose tubal ectopic pregnancy (EP) and follow up patients treated conservatively.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the predictive value of maternal serum β-hCG concentration in ruptured tubal ectopic pregnancy to help physicians identify those women who are at greatest risk.

Materials And Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted on all women with a diagnosis of tubal ectopic pregnancy who were treated in Alzahra Hospital, in Rasht, from March 2002 to February 2011.

The relationship between vaginal bleeding in the first and second trimester of pregnancy and preterm labor.

Background: Vaginal bleeding is a common complication during pregnancy, which is observed in about 1/4 of pregnancies and in half of cases can lead to abortion. If vaginal bleeding happens during pregnancy some adverse pregnancy outcomes, including perinatal mortality and morbidity, low birth weight and preterm delivery will be increased.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between vaginal bleeding and its characteristics in the first and second trimester of pregnancy and preterm labor.

Comparison of nucleated red blood cells in the umbilical cord of term neonates in healthy women and women with preeclampsia.

Background: Asphyxia is a common cause of perinatal mortality in 5-10% of all births worldwide. The present parameters for determining perinatal asphyxia, e.g.
