INTRODUCTION: There are conflicting data regarding the relation between serum uric acid (SUA) and severity of preeclampsia (PE). The aim of the study was to assess the relation between SUA and the severity of PE. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 110 pregnant women were studied; 55 with mild PE were compared to 55 women with severe PE in this cross-sectional study, which was conducted in Maternity Hospital.

This review looks at the use of botulinum toxin in the gynaecological field with the aim of determining what needs to be further investigated to achieve a standardized application. Numerous studies have been conducted to explore how botulinum toxins (BoNT) can be applied, and it is becoming popular for treating various disorders such as chronic pelvic pain, vestibulodynia, and vaginism. However, the exact dosage and ideal location for injections still need to be clarified. The objective of this study is to point out which aspects need to be more carefully studied to ensure a consistent use of BoNT in gynaecology...

INTRODUCTION: The aim was to investigate the response of pregnant women when the COVID-19 vaccination policy shifted from restricted to required, and the confusion that ensued during pregnancy, bearing in mind that women undergo unique physiological and immunological changes during pregnancy, making them at risk of developing a more severe course of COVID-19 infection compared to their non-pregnant peers. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out at the outpatient clinics at Jordan University Hospital for all pregnant women during the period of the survey from 1st October 2021 to 31st December 2021, focusing on the source of information about the vaccine, receiving the vaccine, and the reasons for rejecting the vaccine, especially during pregnancy...

The gold standard of treatment for patients with early-stage cervical cancer is radical hysterectomy, in agreement with the entire scientific community. During the last decade, growing evidence has supported the minimally invasive approach. Several studies have suggested that the minimally invasive approach could improve surgical and perioperative outcomes. Because of these findings, ESCO/ESTRO/ESP guidelines state that a "minimally invasive approach is favoured" in comparison with open surgery, as a grade B recommendation...

INTRODUCTION: A paraovarian cyst (POC) is a cyst in the broad ligament or mesosalpinx. Paraovarian cysts have an estimated prevalence of 5-20% amongst the adnexal masses. Despite the high prevalence and availability of advanced imaging modalities, an accurate pre-operative diagnosis of POC is still made in less than 50% of patients. CASE REPORTS: Two females with suspected ovarian torsion underwent laparotomy and had POCs. A 42-year-old hysterectomized female underwent surgery for a suspected POC which turned out to be a mesenteric cyst...

Ovarian cancer is a complex disease, mostly observed in postmenopausal women, and is associated with poor survival rates. It is the sixth most common cancer and the fifth most common cause of death due to cancer among women in developed countries. Thus, despite representing less than one third of all gynaecologic cancers, deaths due to ovarian cancer account for more than two thirds of deaths due to gynaecologic cancers. Its prevalence is higher in Western Europe and Northern America than Asia and Africa. In sub-Saharan Africa, there is a considerably lower prevalence of ovarian cancer than other parts of Africa...

INTRODUCTION: Communication skills help people have a better life. Due to the changes caused by menopause and their effects on interpersonal communication, it is essential to reinforce communication skills during this period. This study aimed to investigate the effect of communication skills training (CST) using the transactional analysis (TA) approach on menopausal women's marital adjustment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This quasi-experimental study with a parallel design was performed by the availability sampling method with participation of 46 married menopausal women...

Angiomyomatous hamartoma (AMH) of the lymph node is an extremely rare, benign vascular disease of unknown etiology. It is characterized by partial or complete replacement of the lymph node parenchyma by irregularly distributed, thick-walled blood vessels, smooth muscle bundles and adipose tissue in a fibrotic stroma. Angiomyomatous hamartoma occurs mainly in inguinal and femoral nodal regions, but there are a few reports of some other locations - submandibular, cervical, popliteal and paraaortic lymph nodes...

INTRODUCTION: Treatment of refractory thin endometrium during IVF is a relatively challenging problem, considering that optimal endometrium thickness is one of the critical factors for successful implantation and pregnancy. Autologous intrauterine platelet-rich plasma (PRP) infusion is an adjuvant therapeutic alternative for enhancing the endometrial thickness (EMT) and echo pattern. It was shown that PRP could expand EMT and improve pregnancy outcomes with its high content of growth factors and cytokines, and its role in the regulation of the immunological interaction between the embryo and the endometrium...

INTRODUCTION: To evaluate the efficacy of ferric carboxy maltose (FCM) in the treatment of iron deficiency/iron deficiency anaemia (ID/IDA) during pregnancy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Pregnant women ≥ 20 years old diagnosed with ID (serum ferritin < 15 µg/l) and moderate IDA were included in this study for correction of their ID/IDA. The participants received an FCM infusion for correction of their ID/IDA. The pre-treatment ferritin, haemoglobin (Hb), and red blood cell (RBC) indices were compared with the 6- and 12-week post-treatment values to evaluate the efficacy of FCM in the treatment of ID/IDA during pregnancy...

Membranous dysmenorrhoea is an uncommon condition characterized by the spontaneous flaking of endometrium into a single piece that maintains the shape of the uterus. The common symptom of membranous dysmenorrhoea is a colicky pain caused by uterine contractions. Because only a limited number of cases have been published in the literature, the case report we present is peculiar. This report describes a case of membranous dysmenorrhoea that occurred after an artificial frozen thawed embryo transfer cycle using vaginal progesterone...

INTRODUCTION: Menopause is a vital stage in which the risk of the appearance of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases is increased. Cardiovascular risk in menopausal women must be monitored because it is one of the most common causes of mortality in these women. Smoking is an important risk factor for the development of many diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, so promoting smoking cessation in these women is important for the maintenance of cardiovascular health. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Current smoking cessation programs mainly include nicotine and varenicline as therapeutic agents, due to their history of success, safety, and efficacy in aiding in cessation, but they do not include "new" agents such as cytisine as coadjuvant in the elimination of the habit of smoking...

INTRODUCTION: Gender medicine is an innovative medical approach that studies how some biological variables are influenced by the male or female sex and gender. This issue is under debate because it characterizes the impact of tailored or individual medicine. In this scenario, the aim of this study is to study the correlation between heavy metal exposure and pathologies of neurodevelopment, according to the sex of newborns. In particular, this is an observational study under the name of the Neurosviluppo Project, involving 217 mother-child couples...
