Myomectomy during cesarean section: A retrospective cohort study.

Objective: To evaluate the value of myomectomy during delivery by cesarean section (CS) in pregnant women with uterine fibroids.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study of pregnant women diagnosed to have uterine fibroids during index pregnancy. Women who underwent myomectomy during CS (study group; n = 91) were compared with women in whom myomectomy was not performed during CS (control group; n = 87).

Timing of initiation of low-molecular-weight heparin administration in pregnant women with antiphospholipid syndrome: a randomized clinical trial of efficacy and safety.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effect of different timing of initiation of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) administration on the pregnancy outcomes in women with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).

Materials And Methods: A randomized controlled study was conducted on women with obstetrical APS. All participants were randomly divided at documentation of positive pregnancy test into two groups; early initiation group in which LMWH therapy was started once positive pregnancy test was established (in the fifth week of gestation), and later initiation group in which LMWH therapy was started after sonographic confirmation of fetal cardiac pulsation (in the seventh week of gestation).

Vaginal progesterone for prevention of preterm labor in asymptomatic twin pregnancies with sonographic short cervix: a randomized clinical trial of efficacy and safety.

Purpose: To evaluate the value of vaginal progesterone therapy for reduction of preterm labor in asymptomatic women with twin pregnancies and sonographic short cervix.

Methods: This randomized controlled study was conducted in Mansoura University Hospital and private practice settings in Mansoura, Egypt. Of 322 women with dichorionic twin pregnancy, 250 asymptomatic women with cervical length of 20-25 mm at 20-24 weeks of gestation were included in the study.
