Urine alkalinization with oral sodium bicarbonate seems to improve urinary symptoms in female patients with overactive bladder with acidic urinary pH. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the effect of oral sodium bicarbonate and tolterodine in women with symptoms of overactive bladder with acidic urinary pH. In this single-blind randomized clinical trial, 72 female patients with symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome with acidic urinary pH in the age group of 28-60 years were referred to the gynecology clinic of Mahdieh Hospital affiliated with Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran in 2021-2022 were studied. These patients were randomly divided into two groups oral sodium bicarbonate (36 patients) and tolterodine group (36 patients) and received the treatment for one month. Group matching was performed between patients. At the end of the study, the Overactive Bladder–Validated 8-question Awareness tool (OAB-V8), frequency, nocturia, urgency, and urinary incontinence (UI) was measured and compared between patients in the two groups. Patients were matched for age, underlying disease, BMI, acidic urinary pH, and menopause status at the baseline. After 30 days of medication therapy, a significant decrease in OAB-V8 score, frequency, nocturia, urgency, and urinary incontinence (UI) was observed in both groups receiving oral sodium bicarbonate and tolterodine in female patients with symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome with acidic urine. The degree of improvement in outcomes after treatment was similar between both groups. Oral sodium bicarbonate administration in patients with overactive bladder with acidic urinary pH has a significant positive effect on OAB-V8 symptoms, frequency, nocturia, urgency, and urinary incontinence (UI) and these results are similar to tolterodine treatment. Given that the acidic urinary pH may play a role in the etiology of an overactive bladder, it seems that sodium bicarbonate improves the symptoms of an overactive bladder by alkalizing the urine.

Performing myomectomy concurrently with a caesarean section has been controversial for many decades. The present study mainly aims to evaluate the consequences of concurrent myomectomy and caesarean section versus caesarean section alone. In this systematic review, we have followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Electronic resources, such as MEDLINE, Cochrane, EMBASE, Scopus, and PubMed, were searched. A total of 3057 articles were reviewed. Of these, 33 met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. The reviewed outcomes were hemoglobin (Hb) before and after the operation, blood transfusion rate, hemorrhage, operation time, duration of hospitalization, and complications, such as fever. A meta-analysis of 33 articles with 5586 participants in the caesarean myomectomy (CM) group and 2935 participants in the caesarean section (CS) group showed a statistically significant Hb decrease in the CM group [MD = 0.26, CI=95%(-0.33 to -0.19)]. The transfusion rate was higher in the CM group [OR=0.39(0.42-0.67)], and intraoperative hemorrhage was higher in the CM group [OR=0.56 (0.45 - 0.75) CI=95%]. The mean operation time [MD=1.17(1.10 -1.24) CI=95] and hospitalization time [MD=0.41 (0.34-0.48) CI=95%] were significantly higher in the CM group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of fever between the two groups [MD =1.06, CI=95%, p=0.923(0.78-1.43)]. Concurrent CM is associated with a reduction in mean Hb and an increase in operation time and hospitalization time; however, it prevents additional surgery and costs; it is worthwhile to perform myomectomy at the time of caesarean section, especially by experienced surgeons with necessary preparations.

In the COVID-19 epidemic, pregnant women, fetuses, and newborns are a high-risk population that is more susceptible than the general population. These groups are more susceptible to serious respiratory illnesses and pneumonia because of their weakened immune systems. This study compared maternal and neonatal outcomes in postpartum women with COVID-19 with similar healthy women at the hospital In this retrospective cohort study, the characteristics of 100 pregnant women with COVID-19 (confirmed by a positive PCR test during pregnancy) were compared to 150 healthy pregnant women who were referred to Fatemieh Hospital in Hamadan from March, 2020 to February, 2021. The maternal and neonatal outcomes were collected from the medical record of patients and analyzed using SPSS software (Ver. 26). No significant differences were observed in the average ages (± standard deviation) of the two groups of COVID-19 (30.25 ± 6.24 years) and healthy (29.48 ± 6.73 years) women. In this study, pregnant women were infected with COVID-19 from weeks 7 to 41 of gestation, with a median infection time of 35 weeks. The odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of pre-eclampsia and preterm birth was significantly higher in women with COVID-19 than in healthy women with the following values 2.79 (1.61, 7.34) and 22.26 (2.86, 173.33), respectively. Pregnant women suffering from COVID-19 had considerably greater rates of gestational issues, neonatal difficulties, pre-eclampsia, and premature delivery, according to the findings of this study. During epidemics, it is advised that pregnant women and their newborns receive more basic care.

Preterm birth (PTB) remains a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality in the United States and worldwide. Efforts to predict and delay preterm birth have been largely unsuccessful thus far. This paper seeks to illuminate the history and relevant discoveries regarding the role of progesterone in the prevention of PTB, which includes maintaining quiescence of the myometrium and counteracting cervical ripening. We will review the outcomes and methodologies of recent clinical trials, which have led to debate over the efficacy of progesterone in delaying PTB among at-risk women. The aim of this paper is to explore the historical and scientific basis for progestin treatments in the prevention of PTB, briefly discuss the results of recent clinical trials, and suggest direction for future research.

Fatigue is a complex phenomenon. It is a common problem that occurs at all periods of childbearing. Pregnancy and labor are recognized as a normal physiological process, and fatigue, a common symptom that occurs frequently throughout the childbearing experience, has the potential to negatively affect the woman’s prenatal and birth experience. Fatigue is often overlooked by health professionals. The aim of this systematic review is to review the literature regarding the factors influencing maternal fatigue during childbirth and its management. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) systematic review was used to guide this study. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) was performed to report this systematic review. The database was searched from CINALH, Pubmed, PsyInfo, ThaiJO, and other sources for grey literature from 1990-2021. The methodological quality process used the critical appraisal tool for RCT study and MINORS (Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies). Nine published articles were selected for this study. The factors influencing maternal fatigue during childbirth were found to be physiological, psychological, and situational. The physiological factors were age, parity, uterine contractility, available energy substrate, nutrition adequacy, and prenatal exercise. The psychological factors were pain and anxiety. The situational factors were childbirth education, pain medication, prenatal employment, sleep, breathing technique, and pushing intervention. The managing of fatigue during childbirth were 1) assessing maternal fatigue in early pregnancy; 2) childbirth preparation; 3) conservation of energy; 4) shortened duration of labor; and 5) reduced labor pain and anxiety. Maternal fatigue during childbirth impacts the mother, the child, and the family. It is important for nurses to understand the deleterious effects of fatigue on childbearing women and to promote interventions that reduce or prevent fatigue during pregnancy and childbirth.
疲劳是一种复杂的现象。这是一个普遍的问题，发生在生育的各个时期。怀孕和分娩被认为是一个正常的生理过程，疲劳是在整个生育过程中经常出现的一种常见症状，有可能对妇女的产前和分娩经历产生负面影响。疲劳常常被卫生专业人员所忽视。本系统综述的目的是回顾有关影响分娩时产妇疲劳及其处理的因素的文献。采用乔安娜布里格斯研究所(Joanna Briggs Institute, JBI)的系统评价来指导本研究。采用系统评价和荟萃分析首选报告项目(PRISMA)来报告该系统评价。数据库从CINALH、Pubmed、PsyInfo、ThaiJO和其他来源检索1990-2021年的灰色文献。方法学质量过程使用RCT研究的关键评价工具和未成年人(非随机研究的方法学指数)。本研究选取了9篇已发表的文章。影响分娩时产妇疲劳的因素有生理性、心理性和情境性。生理因素包括年龄、胎次、子宫收缩力、有效能量基质、营养充足性和产前运动。心理因素为疼痛和焦虑。情境因素包括分娩教育、止痛药、产前就业、睡眠、呼吸技巧和推入干预。分娩疲劳管理:1)评估妊娠早期产妇疲劳;2)分娩准备;3)能量守恒;4)缩短劳动时间;5)减少分娩疼痛和焦虑。分娩期间的产妇疲劳会影响母亲、孩子和家庭。护士必须了解疲劳对育龄妇女的有害影响，并促进干预措施，减少或预防怀孕和分娩期间的疲劳。

Meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) may increase maternal and neonatal complications. The favorable mode of delivery is controversial in women with MSAF. This study aimed to compare umbilical cord arterial blood gas (ABG) and neonatal outcomes in deliveries complicated by meconium and clear amniotic fluid during the active phase of labor. This observational study was performed on 144 term pregnant women (72 with MSAF and 72 with clear amniotic fluid) during the active phase of labor with ruptured membranes admitted to Al-Zahra and Taleghani hospitals in Tabriz, Iran from June 2019 to June 2020. A checklist was used to record the ABG and neonatal outcomes. The frequency of cesarean delivery in the MSAF group (25%) was significantly higher than in the women with clear amniotic fluid (20%) (P= 0.006). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups regarding pH, base excess, PCO2, 1- and 5- minute Apgar scores, and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission of the newborn due to MSAF (P> 0.05). There was no incidence of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, sepsis, and seizure. Given the non-significant difference between two groups of women with and without MSAF during labor in terms of neonatal outcomes and umbilical cord ABG, it seems that MSAF alone is not an indication for cesarean delivery. Thus, vaginal delivery is recommended in pregnant women with MSAF.

They motivate the intestine microbiome and back the gut immune activity and prevent the duplication of pathogenic microorganisms as well. Although postbiotics are a type of probiotic waste, they can apply some beneficial effects on human health such as anti-obesity, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and anti-carcinogenic. Accordingly, many studies suggested a conclusive effect of postbiotics on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women and depressive symptomatology. The aim of our study was to provide an updated review of these subjects. We conducted a systematic search of literature in multiple databases such as Web of Science, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and PubMed based on some keywords. In the current review, we have focused on an effective, better understanding of postbiotics on consumers’ health and present a base for future investigation.
后生物制剂被称为含有惰性微生物和/或其成分的制剂，可激活宿主的健康效益。它们激发肠道微生物群，支持肠道免疫活动，并防止致病微生物的复制。虽然后益生菌是一种益生菌废物，但它们对人体健康具有抗肥胖、抗氧化、免疫调节、抗癌等有益作用。因此，许多研究表明，后生物制剂对女性多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)和抑郁症状有决定性的影响。我们研究的目的是提供这些主题的最新综述。我们对Web of Science、Google Scholar、Science Direct、PubMed等多个数据库进行了基于部分关键词的文献系统检索。在当前的综述中，我们的重点是有效地，更好地了解后生物制剂对消费者健康的影响，并为未来的研究奠定基础。

This study aimed to compare the effect of jainus syrup and Ondansetron syrup on nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. The present study isa single-blindrandomized clinical trial that was conducted on 120 pregnant womenreferred to the health centers of Hamadan during 2017-2018 year.The participants were randomly divided into two groups of control and intervention with 60 subjects in each group.Two groups of 60 received jalinus syrup and Ondansetron syrup for 7 days. Data collection tools, demographic questionnaire, and information associated with pregnancy, and PUQE-24 questionnaire were used to assess the severity of nausea and vomiting, and questions related to the assessment of side effects as well asparticipants’ level of satisfaction with the treatment were provided. All the data were analyzed using the SPSS software version 16. P-value < 0.05 was considered significant. The severity of nausea and vomiting in both groups decreased after the intervention, but considering the independent t-test, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of severity of nausea (P <0.05). According to the Chi-square test, the severity of nausea of all participants was moderate in both groups before taking the medication, and after taking the medication, the severity of nausea reduced in most participants and they were placed in the mild group. Education based on the theory of planned behavior could significantly affect the fear of childbirth and increase the vaginal delivery rate Due to the similar effects of jalinus syrup and Ondansetron syrup in the treatment of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy and the absence of side effects arising from its use, herbal medicine can be used instead of chemical drugs.
