Background: Prenatal and postnatal depression (PND) is associated with adverse outcomes for mother, fetus, and child. The aim of study was to examine the prevalence and risk factors of prenatal and postnatal depressive symptoms.
Materials And Methods: This was a cross-sectional and hospital-based survey of 2305 pregnant women and post-partum women (18-48 years) that was registered in the Babol Pregnancy Mental Health Registry (BPMHR) database from June 2020 to March 2021.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and the medication sertraline in treating depression, anxiety, and infertility stress in women experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) in comparison to usual care.
- A total of 60 depressed infertile women with RPL participated, being randomly assigned to one of three groups: CBT, sertraline, or control (usual care), with various assessments conducted throughout the trial to evaluate outcomes.
- Results indicated that CBT significantly reduced depression symptoms and infertility stress compared to sertraline, while sertraline effectively decreased anxiety levels, with both treatments being more beneficial than the control group.
Most of the findings have focused on the importance of CD4HLA-G and CD8HLA-G regulatory T cells (Treg) during pregnancy. It has been demonstrated that these HLA-G T cell subsets could induce maternal immune tolerance against semi-allogenic conceptus during pregnancy. There are only a few experiments regarding the Treg cells in the context of unexplained infertility (UI).

Background And Objective: Hyperhomocysteinemia is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Although metformin therapy can increase homocysteine (Hcy) levels, it frequently is used as an oral medicine in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), who might be at risk of catching diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of metformin on the levels of serum Hcy, vitamin B12 (vit B12), and folic acid in patients with PCOS.

This study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of early versus delayed postcaesarean section oral feeding regarding gastrointestinal complications and patients postoperative satisfaction after C- section.
Methods: This clinical trial study was conducted on 200 pregnant women undergoing planned C-section under spinal anesthesia (Registration Number: IRCT: 138712211760N1).
Background: This study was designed to investigate the effect of metformin and flutamide alone or in combination with anthropometric indices and laboratory tests of obese/overweight PCOS women under hypocaloric diet.
Methods: This single blind clinical trial was performed on 120 PCOS women. At the beginning, hypocaloric diet was recommended for the patients.
