Early diagnosis of impending rupture uterus during U/S: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Uterine rupture is a rare condition that typically occurs in a scarred uterus and can happen during late pregnancy, labor, or the early postpartum period. Since most cases are seen in patients with a history of cesarean surgery, the anterior lower uterine segment is the most affected area. Most patients present with acute symptoms that compromise the fetus and the mother in a life-threatening manner.

Evaluation of cardiac sphericity index among intrauterine growth restriction and normal fetuses.

Foetal growth restriction (FGR) describes the pregnancy complications of pathological reduced foetal growth, leading to significant perinatal mortality and morbidity, and subsequent long-term cardiovascular outcomes. This prospective case-control study was performed on pregnant women referred to the hospitals of Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 2017-2019. All pregnant women underwent ultrasound scan and doppler sonography.

A study on sexual functioning and depression in Iranian women following cesarean hysterectomy due to placental abnormality after 3-6 months.

This study aims to investigate the prevalence of depression and impaired sexual function following the hysterectomy in Iran. This study was performed as a retrospective cohort study, from August 2017 to August 2018. Fifty-two patients with a cesarean hysterectomy and 52 with cesarean section were considered as the cases and controls, respectively.

Umbilical Cord Diameter at Early Second Trimester: Relation to Trisomy 21.

Background: To compare the umbilical cord diameter (UCD) at early second trimester (at 17-19 weeks of gestation) in trisomy 21 and normal fetuses and determined value of measuring UCD in screening trisomy 21.

Methods: This was a case-control study. The UCD was measured in 39 fetuses with trisomy 21 (documented by chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis) and 39 fetuses in control group at 17-19 weeks of gestation.

Predictors of Cranial Ultrasound Abnormalities in Intrauterine Growth-Restricted Fetuses Born between 28 and 34 Weeks of Gestation: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Background: Doppler parameters have been commonly used for the prediction of neonatal outcomes. However, controversies exist with regard to the value of Doppler parameters in predicting the risk of neurological outcomes among neonates.

Objective: This prospective cohort study attempted to assess the value of Doppler parameters in predict ing cranial ultrasound abnormalities (CUAs) in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) among fetuses at 28-34 weeks of gestation.

Ultrasound measurement of fetal adrenal gland in fetuses with intrauterine growth restriction, an early predictive method for adverse outcomes.

Objectives: Comparing the sonographic measurements of fetal adrenal gland in pregnancies with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) versus healthy controls and to assess whether the changes in adrenal gland measurements could predict adverse pregnancy outcomes in IUGR fetuses.

Methods: This prospective cohort study evaluated 97 pregnant women (48 with IUGR pregnancies and 49 healthy controls) during their third gestational trimester. All mothers underwent two dimensional ultrasonography of the fetal adrenal gland, and the fetal zone in transverse, sagittal, and coronal planes.

Pre-induction translabial ultrasound measurements in predicting mode of delivery compared to bishop score: a cross-sectional study.

Background: By increased concerns about the accuracy of the traditional methods to predict outcomes after induction of labor, developing new standards has a great clinical importance. Here, we compared the predictive value of translabial ultrasound measurements with Bishop Score to determine the suitability of induction of labor.

Methods: A homogenous population of primigravid women was recruited.

Induction of Labor Using Native (OXYTIP) in Comparison to Foreign Oxytocin (SYNTOCINON).

Objective: This study was conducted with the aim to investigate and compare Iranian produced and foreign oxytocin for use in induction of labor.

Materials And Methods: This random clinical trial was conducted on a population of 198 pregnant women with live fetus and cephalic presentation and conditions conducive to induction of labor, monitored by obstetricians and gynecologists. They were randomly divided into group A (n = 99) received 10 units of Syntocinon (Novartis Pharma Canada) in 500 cc Ringer lactate, and group B (n = 99) received 10 units of Oxytip (Caspian Tamin Company Iran) in 500 cc serum, who entered the study to commence induction, by signing written consent.

Effect of aspirin in prevention of adverse pregnancy outcome in women with elevated alpha-fetoprotein.

Background: To evaluate the effect of low-dose aspirin in prevention of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APO) in women with second trimester alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) >2.5 multiple of median (MOM) and to compare aspirin effect on women with normal and abnormal uterine artery (UtA) Doppler. The primary outcome was the adverse pregnancy outcome.

Comparative efficacy of probiotic yoghurt and clindamycin in treatment of bacterial vaginosis in pregnant women: a randomized clinical trial.

Objective: This study was performed to determine the comparative efficacy of probiotic yoghurt and clindamycin in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis in pregnant women in the third trimester.

Methods And Materials: This randomized clinical trial was performed as an open-label study. 310 symptomatic patients with BV were recruited.

Comparison of 8-h urine protein and random urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio with 24-h urine protein in pregnancy.

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between 24-h and 8-h urinary protein excretion and protein-to-ceratinine (p:c) ratio in random urine sample. As well as determining a best cutoff for p:c ratio for accurately diagnose significant proteinuria.

Methods: Fifty hospitalized pregnant women who need 24 h urine collection for medical complications were studied.

Betamethasone effects on the endocervical inflammatory cytokines in preterm labor: a randomized clinical trial.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of betamethasone treatment on the endocervical concentration of IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, and TNF-α in preterm labor patients.

Study Design: We studied 68 prime-gravid women in preterm labor between 34 and 37 weeks of gestation without clinical infection. Endocervical concentrations of inflammatory cytokines were assessed; immediately on admission and 48 h after administration of two doses of intramuscular betamethasone (12 mg/kg).

Middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity and ductus venosus velocity in the investigation of nonimmune hydrops.

Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the cause of nonimmune hydrops fetalis by measuring the peak systolic velocity (PSV) in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) and velocity waveforms of the ductus venosus (DV) with Doppler.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was done on 19 pregnancies referred to three university teaching hospitals for further investigation of nonimmune hydrops fetalis in 2007 and 2008. The MCA-PSV and DV velocity waveforms were recorded in all fetuses.

Caesarean or normal vaginal delivery: overview of physicians' self-preference and suggestion to patients.

Purpose: Caesarean delivery in the absence of any medical indications has become a major issue of concern among the women's health professionals. The patients' choice of caesarean is influenced by several factors predominating by their physicians' suggestion. Our objective was to examine factors that may affect the physicians' responses to patients consulting the mode of delivery.
