10.30699/jogcr.7.6.518 Background & Objective: Autologous platelet-rich plasma consists of concentrated autologous plasma and several cytokines and growth factors released by activated platelets in injury and inflammation. There is an increasing trend towards the effectiveness of intrauterine PRP infusion in repeated implantation failure patients. The aim of the present study was to describe the impact of intrauterine platelet-rich plasma infusion on the live birth rate in patients with repeated implantation failure. Materials & Methods: The present retrospective uncontrolled study was performed on 96 patients with more than two failed intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles at Mehr medical institute between 2019 and 2021. Forty-eight hours before embryo transfer, patients received 1 mL lympho-platelet-rich plasma through an intrauterine insemination catheter. Patients were evaluated for pregnancy rate. Endometrial preparation for frozen-thawed embryo transfer was performed. Results: Participants' basal and stimulation characteristics, including gonadotropin dosage, the total number of oocytes, metaphase II oocytes and embryos, endometrial thickness, embryo transfer, quality of transferred embryos, and blastocyst transfer rate were evaluated. A total of 33 and 27 chemical (34.3%) and clinical pregnancies (28.1%) were achieved. Twenty (20.8%) and nineteen (20%) cycles resulted in ongoing pregnancies or live births, respectively. Conclusion: The current study suggests that platelet-rich plasma infusion 48 hours before frozen-thawed embryo transfer may be a good option for repeated implantation failure patients and results in 20% live birth.

Endometrial stromal sarcoma is a rare condition, constituting nearly 0.2% of all reproductive tract malignancies. The condition mainly affects the peri-menopausal population; however, it can occasionally be found in younger women and adolescents. Here, this is a case of a 20-year-old primiparous female who was referred to us with the main complaint of vaginal bleeding (menometrorrhagia), ongoing for 6 months after delivery. Her sonography report indicated a 5 cm intra-cavitary mass suspicious for myoma or placental polyp. Given the pathology report of low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) on samples obtained through hysteroscopy and D&C, she underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TAH+BSO). Endometrial stromal sarcoma is a rare uterine malignancy of mesenchymal origin that should be considered, even in very young patients.

Fraser syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by multiple structural abnormalities, above all of which are cryptophthalmos and syndactyly. According to reviews of reported cases, diagnostic criteria have been established. Here, we report a case of 18 weeks pregnancy diagnosed with Fraser syndrome presenting with cryptophthalmos, syndactyly, kidney agenesis, and hyper-echogenic lungs during an ultrasound examination. The pregnancy was terminated, and diagnostic features of the syndrome were confirmed afterward. Since the imaging characteristics are unique, it is of value that clinicians become familiar with the appearance of the syndrome to provide families with the opportunity to make timely decisions regarding pregnancy termination and use the prenatal diagnostic tools to have healthy children in subsequent pregnancies.

10.30699/jogcr.7.5.429 Background & Objective: Endometriosis is associated with the increased risk of coronary heart disease and immune alterations, which may be attributed to the altered lipid profile and decreased serum level of 25–hydroxyl vitamin D (25(OH)D). The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of radical laparoscopic surgery of endometriosis on serum lipid profile and 25(OH)D. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 47 women aged 15 to 45, with body mass index <30kg/m 2 , who were referred to Shohaday-eTajrish Hospital, from May 2018 until Jan 2020, for surgical treatment of endometriosis and did not have a systemic disease and did not use oral contraceptives and/or other hormonal therapies three months before surgery were enrolled into the study. The serum lipid profile and 25(OH)D levels of patients two months after surgery were compared with presurgical levels. The results were analyzed by using paired t-test. Results: A total of 47 patients completed the study (mean age: 32.8±7.5years). About half had no pregnancies (49.1%). Comparing the serum lipid profile of patients before and two months after surgery showed a significant decrease in triglyceride from 108.4±46.2 to 86.4±51.1 mg/dL ( P =0.001), ], total cholesterol from 172.5±26.5 to 160.0±28.3mg/dl ( P =0.002), and low-density lipoprotein levels from 97±28.3 to 89.8±26.1 mg/dL ( P =.003); however, high-density lipoprotein and 25(OH)D levels did not show a significant difference ( P >0.05). Conclusion: the results of the current study showed that laparoscopic resection of endometriotic lesions resulted in a significant reduction of the unfavorable lipid profile after two months, but not 25(OH)D levels.

Background & Objective: Persistent infection with some types of Human papillomavirus (HPV), which are high-risk genotypes, can lead the patients toward cervical cancer and, finally, death. Recent studies showed HPV co-infection with non-HPV sexually transmitted infections (non-HPV STIs) could increase the persistency rate of HPV infections. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of STIs and assess the association of HPV/non-HPV STIs co-infection on cervical cell changes based on cytological findings. Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, in addition to the routine cervical screening, including HPV testing and cytological assessment, non-HPV STI testing was performed on 1065 Iranian women. To assess the HPV and non-HPV STIs, commercial kits were used. Results: 964 (90.5%) women had normal cytology (NILM) results. The overall prevalence of HPV and non-HPV STIs were 39.1% and 68.5%, respectively. HPV-53 (6.5%), -16 (6.1%) and -31 (5.5%) were found as the most prevalent genotypes. Ureaplasma Parvum (UP) (42.7%), Group B Streptococcus (GBS) (23.7%), Candida Species (CS) (23.6%), Ureaplasma Urealyticum (UU) (9.6%), and Mycoplasma Hominis (MH) (7.1%) were found as the most prevalent non-HPV STIs. The co-infection of HPV with GBS played an important role in developing the cervical lesion ( P <0.05). Conclusion: In the present study, the STIs, including HPV, UP, GBS, CS, UU, and MH, were prevalent among the study participant, and it was found that the HPV/GBS co-infection played a significant role in the development of LSIL or worse cytological grades. To clarify this issue, further studies will be conducted.

Background & Objective: Diabetes Mellitus refers to a group of specific metabolic diseases with a hyperglycemic phenotype. The present study compares pregnancy outcomes and nonstress tests (NST) in insulin-treated diabetic women with healthy pregnant women. Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, pregnancy outcomes and NST results were evaluated in 45 diabetic pregnant women who had received insulin therapy and 90 healthy pregnant women. The NST tracings of all women were applied and evaluated regarding reactive and non-reactive parameters. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 20 and Fisher's exact test. Results: Our results demonstrated that NST was reactive in 75.6%and was non-reactive in 24.4% of diabetic mothers. There was a significant increase in macrosomia in diabetic mothers with non-reactive NST, while there was no statistical significance between NST results in the two groups. Conclusion: Pregnant women with diabetes are more prone to complications than healthy women. The main complication is the fetal size which leads to difficulties in delivery and increased incidence of cesarean section.

Clindamycin, IVIg, and corticosteroids are widely used in medicine. In this study, we represent an unusual case of sinus bradycardia following the administration of these drugs. The patient was a 31-year-old woman who presented a complaint of vaginal bleeding at Shahid Motahhari Hospital, Urmia, Iran. Vaginal examination revealed active bleeding. Laboratory tests reported a positive HCG level. Ultrasonography was performed, and the results showed the presence of retained products of conception. The patient became a candidate for curettage. The initial pulse rate was tachycardia. Laboratory data were reported, platelet count of 16000. Corticosteroids and IVIgs were started. Due to the possibility of infectious abortion, Clindamycin and Gentamicin was started. About 24 hours after curettage and 4 hours after starting clindamycin, the patient felt dizziness. Vital signs were obtained that PR: 38-40. We concluded that clindamycin and IVIg can result in severe bradycardia, even in patients with no previous cardiac history, especially when combined with corticosteroids. As a result, we recommend physicians be more cautious when administrating these medications.

As a result, we recommend physicians be more cautious when administrating these medications.","PeriodicalId":36115,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Cancer Research","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77933581","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}
Background & Objective: To see if 900 mg of vaginal isonicotinic acid hydrazide (INH) given 12 hours before insertion of a T380A copper intrauterine device (IUD) was more effective than placebo in increasing insertion ease and reducing insertion discomfort in nulliparous ladies. Materials & Methods: A double-blind, randomized controlled study recruited nulliparous women who wanted to use the Copper IUD for contraception. Women who were WHO-eligible for IUD implantation were recruited and randomly assigned (1:1) to vaginal INH 900 mg or placebo (n=100 in each group), 12 hours before the IUD was placed. The primary endpoint was the ease of insertion for the providers. The number of unsuccessful IUD insertions was also recorded. Results: The groups had similar baseline characteristics. The ease of insertion score in the INH group was lower than in the placebo group (3 (2-5).5 vs. 6 (3-8); P= 0.01), indicating that physicians in the INH group had an easier time inserting the device. The INH group had a reduced mean pain score during the procedure (3.97 ± 0.991 vs. 6.42 ± 0.66; P= 0.001). In the INH group, two incidences of failed IUD insertion occurred (2%) compared to four cases in the control group (4 percent). 0.594 is the p-value. Conclusion: Self-administered INH 900 mg vaginally 12 hours before a copper T380A IUD insertion successfully reduced discomfort during insertion and improved women's satisfaction and ease of insertion as measured by physicians in nulliparous teenagers and young ladies.
