Clinical and historical features of cesarean scar pregnancies in a tertiary hospital with a high rate of cesarean section: A case-control survey.

Background And Aims: Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is a rare medical condition accounting for 1:2000 of all pregnancies with prior history of cesarean deliveries (CS). As the rate of CS is increasing worldwide, it is important to know the nature of CSP and its complications.

Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, we evaluated 264 pregnant women; 86 cases with ultra-sonographic findings of CSP and 178 controls: normal pregnancies with gestational age less than 12 weeks.

Effects of maternal age on the mode of delivery following induction of labor in nulliparous term pregnancies: A retrospective cohort study.

Background And Aim: Increased maternal age at the time of pregnancy and labor is believed to have potential complications. To evaluate the effects of maternal age on the mode of delivery among nulliparous women with term pregnancies who underwent labor induction.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 313 women with the gestational age of at least ≥37 weeks, were enrolled.

Sertaconazole versus Clotrimazole and Miconazole Creams in the Treatment of Otomycosis: A Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial.

Introduction: Fungal otitis extern or otomycosis, is common worldwide, and resistance of fungal organisms to antifungal drugs has been reported in otomycosis and other fungal infections. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of sertaconazole versus placebo, as well as miconazole and clotrimazole topical creams in otomycosis patients.

Materials And Methods: In this double-blinded clinical trial, 138 otomycosis patients (230 ears) were evaluated in four groups.

Automatic registration of a single SAR image and GIS building footprints in a large-scale urban area.

Existing techniques of 3-D reconstruction of buildings from SAR images are mostly based on multibaseline SAR interferometry, such as PSI and SAR tomography (TomoSAR). However, these techniques require tens of images for a reliable reconstruction, which limits the application in various scenarios, such as emergency response. Therefore, alternatives that use a single SAR image and the building footprints from GIS data show their great potential in 3-D reconstruction.

Relationship of Uterine Fibroids with Lipid Profile, Anthropometric Characteristics, Subcutaneous and Preperitoneal Fat Thickness.

Background: Uterine fibroids (UFs) are the most common benign tumors of the uterus with an unknown etiology, affecting many women of reproductive age. We aimed to evaluate the association between UFs and anthropometric features, subcutaneous and preperitoneal fat thickness and lipid profile.

Methods: This is a case-control study conducted on 212 women who were available in the Al-Zahra specialized referral hospital from March 2018 to March 2019.

Frequency of chemoradiotherapy-induced mucositis and related risk factors in patients with the head-and-neck cancers: A survey in the North of Iran.

Background: In this study, we aimed at evaluating the frequency of chemoradiotherapy-induced mucositis (CIM, RIM) and its related risk factors in patients with the head-and-neck cancers (HNCs).

Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional prospective descriptive study, we evaluated a total of 54 HNCs patients referred to the Oncology Chemoradiotherapy Department of Razi and Amiralmomenin University Hospitals of Rasht, for site and grade (WHO classification) of CIM/RIM, based on their demographic features and possible risk factors. SPSS software version 18 and statistical tests (i.
