Ultrasound Evaluation of Visceral Fat Thickness for Prediction of Metabolic Syndrome in the First Trimester of Pregnancy in a Sample of Non-obese Iranian Women.

Objectives: Ultrasonography is a noninvasive and safe modality for assessing body fat and is routinely performed in developed countries. Although pregnant women with obesity are at risk for many unfavorable outcomes, the relationship between abdominal fat distribution and metabolic syndrome (MS) is evident in some studies. Therefore, it is important to evaluate fat thickness in non-obese women and predict MS using fat thickness measurement.

A case report of Ggeneralized uterine arteriovenous malformation after molar pregnancy in an infertile woman.

Although this malformation is infrequent, it is potentially life-threatening. Transvaginal Doppler ultrasonography is a widely available, noninvasive and excellent diagnostic method.

Comparing the effect of oral and vaginal isosorbide dinitrate in pre-induction cervical ripening in term pregnancy: A controlled clinical trial.

Background: Cervical ripening for labor induction is one of the most important issues in midwifery. Isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) is one of the most important choices that have been proposed for cervical ripening, but still there are controversies regarding its prescription. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of vaginal and oral ISDN compared to the control group for pre-induction cervical ripening.

Main risk factors for ectopic pregnancy: a case-control study in a sample of Iranian women.

Background: Although the risk factors of ectopic pregnancy have been determined in previous studies, the main risk factors of ectopic pregnancy are different in various countries due to different cultural and social characteristics. Determination of main risk factors of ectopic pregnancy leads to a rapid diagnosis and an improvement in strategies for its prevention. The purpose of this study was to determine the main risk factors of ectopic pregnancy in a sample of Iranian women.

Treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding of endometrial origin: randomized controlled trial of medroxyprogesterone acetate and tranexamic acid.

Purpose: This study aimed at comparing the efficacy of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) and tranexamic acid (TA) for treating heavy menstrual bleeding of endometrial origin (HMB).

Methods: A randomized controlled trial was carried out in three gynecology clinics in Tehran, Iran.
