Objective: Repeat adolescent pregnancy is a hot topic worldwide and imposes a challenge on the health system, especially when faced with limited resources. We aimed to assess maternal and neonatal outcomes in adolescent pregnant women with one prior cesarean section (CS).
Material And Methods: Singleton adolescent pregnant women with one prior CS scar were recruited and divided into two groups based on the obstetric decision for delivery and/or mother’s wish, either trial of labor (TL) or elective cesarean section (ECS).
Objective: Gestational diabetes (GDM) is increasing in prevalence with effects starting in-utero, leading to excessive fetal growth. It is the leading cause of many perinatal complications. The aim was to determine the rate of obstetric and neonatal complications in pregnant women with high fetal weight and a recent diagnosis of GDM during the third trimester, despite normal earlier glycemic control.

Objective: To assess the accuracy of hysteroscopy in diagnosing endometrial pathologies and to compare it with sonographic and histopathologic reports.
Patients And Methods: A prospective study conducted in the Baghdad Teaching Hospital on 60 Iraqi females having varying complaints from abnormal uterine bleeding in pre- and post-menopausal women, infertility, and chronic pelvic pain with normal or abnormal ultrasound findings.
Background: Repeated teenage pregnancy is a major burden on the healthcare system worldwide.
Objective: We aimed to compare teenagers with their first and third pregnancies and to evaluate the likelihood of neonatal complications.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on female teenagers (aged 19 yr) with singleton pregnancies.
Objectives: Teenage pregnancy with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) offers a real challenge to the health system and needs a special care. We aimed to evaluate possible obstetrical and neonatal adverse events of different treatment protocols in adolescent GDM including lifestyle, metformin (MTF), and insulin.
Methods: All teen pregnant women ≤ 19 years old visiting Baghdad Teaching Hospital throughout four years (from June 1, 2016 till May 31, 2020) diagnosed with GDM were included in this cohort study and followed-up closely throughout pregnancy and after delivery.
Objective: Tea lovers are increasing worldwide. We hope that this report is the first to discuss the possible impacts of high black tea consumption on gestational weight gain (GWG) and birth parameters.
Methods: Throughout one year, a total of 7,063 pregnant ladies coming for first antenatal visit were screened in a major tertiary center.
Background: The health care industry is witnessing an increasing trend in the use of generic medicines because of their presumed low cost compared with innovator medicines. The aim of this study was to determine and compare the performance of the copy drug Osveral and its innovator drug deferasirox (Exjade).
Methods: A prospective observational study including 223 patients receiving the branded medicine Exjade and 101 patients receiving the copy Osveral was carried out.
Background: Iron overload is a risk factor affecting all patients with thalassemia intermedia (TI). We aimed to determine whether there is a relationship of serum ferritin (SF) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) with liver iron concentration (LIC) determined by R2 magnetic resonance imaging (R2-MRI), to estimate the most relevant degree of iron overload and best time to chelate in patients with TI.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 119 patients with TI (mean age years) were randomly selected and compared with 120 patients who had a diagnosis of thalassemia major (TM).
