This study aimed to investigate the association between GDM and the incidence of EH and EC. Materials & Methods: We conducted a retrospective case-control study, including 300 women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) referred to Ayatollah Rouhani Hospital in Babol. Cases (n=152) were patients with HC and EC based on medical records, and the controls (n=148) were individuals without HC and EC. The groups were compared according to demographic information, GDM or diabetes mellitus (DM) history, and body mass index (BMI). The Chi-square, independent t-test, and logistic regression analyses were performed to compare groups. Results: Of 300 women studied, 72 people (24.1%) had a GDM history, and 64 people had a diabetes mellitus history. There was a significant difference between the incidence of EC and EH with GDM ( P =0.001). Both GDM and DM were associated with the increased EC (OR: 17.98, 95% CI: 6.73-48.08, and OR: 1.84, 95% CI: 1.26-2.68, respectively). GDM was also associated with the increased risk of EH (OR: 6.68, 95% CI: 2.77-16.10), whereas diabetes mellitus had not a significant role in the increased risk of EH ( P =0.14). Conclusion: This study indicated that a GDM history is significantly associated with HC and EC. Therefore, to prevent and control these two complications in the future, management and monitoring of diabetes during pregnancy should be considered.","PeriodicalId":36115,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Cancer Research","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82802285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Owing to developments of oncofertility, patients are now able to preserve their fertility and complete their childbearing, drafting from the standard of care in endometrial cancer. Strict criteria should be applied to make sure of selecting patients who benefit most from the fertility preservation approach. Furthermore, careful selection of patients increases the possibility of successful treatment. Most candidates for fertility preservation have risk factors in common with infertility, including polycystic ovarian syndrome, obesity, increasing of age and irregular menses; therefore, Advanced Reproductive Technology (ART) can improve their chances for pregnancy.

Materials & Methods: This randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted at the infertility department of Royan Institute, Tehran, Iran. A total of 170 singleton pregnant women aged 18-42 years old, diagnosed with CI by GA 14-24weeks, who had intact membrane with no signs of intrauterine infection, vaginal bleeding, or uterine contraction, were enrolled. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either cervical cerclage or pessary after cerclage. The primary outcome was spontaneous preterm birth (SPB) (<37weeks). The secondary outcomes were GA at the time of delivery, SPB (less than 34, 32 & 28 weeks), delivery method, neonatal outcomes, maternal adverse events, and maternal satisfaction with the intervention. Results: The incidence of SPB (<37, 34, 32 & 28weeks), method of delivery, GA at time of delivery, and neonatal outcomes were not significantly different between the two groups. The incidence of vaginal bleeding ( P =0.007) and pelvic pain ( P =0.03) significantly was less in the intervention group. The mean score of satisfaction in the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group ( P =0.01). Conclusion: The placement of an adjunctive pessary for pregnant women with singleton pregnancy and CI, did not result in a lower rate of SPB (<37weeks) compared to cerclage alone.

Different people, however, experience this pain on different levels. In fact, one's perception of labor pain is determined by physiological, cultural, social, mental, and psychological factors. The present study aims to investigate the relationship between personality traits and one's perception of labor pain. Materials & Methods: This study is a descriptive-analytical correlational study. Two questionnaires were used for Gathering information: one on personality traits and the other on labor pain. One hundred participants were chosen according to their demographic information from a pool of pregnant women at the Persian Gulf Hospital maternity ward in Bandar Abbas City. The data was analyzed using descriptive and analytical measures such as the Pearson Factor. Results: Meaningful positive relationship between labor pain and Neuroticism ( P =0.000, r=0.448), Openness ( P =0.000, r=0.517) and Agreeableness ( P =0.003, r=0.296). While Consciousness ( P =0.047, r=-0.199) is found to have a meaningful negative relationship, extraversion shows no correlation with labor pain.

The present study investigated the relationship between amniotic fluid index (AFI) and uterocervical angle in patients with PROM between 24 and 34 weeks of gestation. Materials & Methods: This study was a cohort study carried out on 50 pregnant women with PROM. Inclusion criteria were 24 to 34 weeks of gestation and singleton deliveries. Demographic characteristics and pregnancy history of the subjects were determined through interviews and examinations. Moreover, AFI and uterocervical angle were determined based on ultrasound results. Subjects were followed up until delivery. Results: Mean age of the patients was 25.14±5.32 years; 23 patients (46%) had delivery latency less than 7 days. The mean uterocervical angle in the delivery latency group ≤7 was significantly higher than that in the group more than 7 days ( P <0.001). Moreover, the mean AFI in the delivery latency group ≤7 was significantly higher ( P <0.001). The uterocervical angle above 107.7 with a sensitivity of 87% and a specificity of 88.9% had a predictive power and its area under curve (AUC) was 0.912 ( P <0.001). The mean AFI below 5.4 with a sensitivity of 81.5% and a specificity of 65.5% had a predictive power (AUC: 0.866, P <0.001). Conclusion: Uterocervical angle and AFI can be good predictors for assessing delivery latency in women with PROM. Furthermore, the mean uterocervical angle in the delivery latency group ≤7 days is significantly hi gher than that in the group more than 7 days, but conversely AFI is less.","PeriodicalId":36115,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Cancer Research","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88525235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, there is a linear association between thymus gland size and its performance. Given the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in Iran and scarce studies with conflicting results, subjecting maternal vitamin D concentration effect on fetal thymus, we decided to investigate maternal vitamin D concentration and its relation to fetal thymus size in mid-gestation. This study also aimed to generate a race-specific reference range. & Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of ultrasound measurements of the fetal thymus at 18-22 weeks of gestational age in 94 pregnant women and its correlation with maternal serum vitamin D levels from May to July 2021 at the tertiary center of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran, Iran. Results: The mean values of thymus perimeter, thymus-thoracic ratio, thymus transverse diameter, and thymus area in all participants were 4.18±0.56 cm, 0.37±0.04, 1.56±0.21 cm, and 1.11±0.76 cm 2 , respectively. There was a trend toward decreased thymus perimeter and transverse thymus diameter with decreasing level of maternal vitamin D. There was also a significant correlation between thymus perimeter and transverse thymus diameter with fetal biometric indices and gestational age. Furthermore, a significant correlation was observed between the thymus perimeter and transverse thymus diameter. Conclusion: We generated a race-specific nomogram for fetal thymus size in Iranian pregnant women. Moreover, the observed trend toward decreased fetal thymus size with decreasing maternal vitamin D levels requires further prospective investigations. A high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and low compliance with daily vitamin D intake during pregnancy was also shown, which requires a solution.","PeriodicalId":36115,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Cancer Research","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81682354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the efficacy of prophylactic use of metformin to prevent gestational diabetes mellitus in nondiabetic pregnant women with obesity was examined. Materials & Methods: This study was a clinical trial. Totally, 340 pregnant women who were in the first trimester were referred to the gynecology clinic of Motahhari hospital in Urmia after ensuring the absence of underlying diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, kidney, liver, and cardiovascular disease, without a history of allergy to metformin, in case of a singleton pregnancy, and Body Mass Index (BMI) above 30 were allocated to two equal groups. The intervention group was given 1000 mg of metformin, and the control group was given a placebo. Demographic information, including age, gravity, parity, live birth, birth, and maternal weight, previous delivery method, abortion, delivery method with its cause, polyhydramnios, NICU hospitalization, gestational age, mortality, and neonatal anomalies was also recorded.
