Background: Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM) is common in obstetrics and management such patients depends on whether the rupture has occurred or not. With membranes ruptured fetus deprived protection provided within amniotic cavity. Beta-Human chorionic gonadotrophin (β-HCG) a hormone present high concentration fluid as well blood urine mother studied possible predictor preterm labour mark...

Abstract Introduction: Delayed childbearing is increasing. Increased maternal age has been associated with increased risk of pregnancy complications. On the other hand, the adolescent pregnancy has traditionally been considered high-risk, especially in developing countries. Objective: This study aimed to compare the adverse pregnancy outcomes in different age groups of pregnant women. Materi...

Introduction: Vaginal discharge is the most frequent complaint among women of child bearing age that requires care and hygiene. Pathological vaginal leads to multiple complications in both mother fetus. Aims Objectives: Purpose this study was determine prevalence discharge, pattern, common infectious causes, risk factors associated with pathological its complications. Materials Methods: A prosp...

The aim of the study was to demonstrate that preterm birth (PTB) is associated with altered C19MC microRNA expression profile in placental tissues. Gene expression of 15 placental specific microRNAs (miR‑512‑5p, miR‑515‑5p, miR‑516‑5p, miR‑517‑5p, miR‑518b, miR‑518f‑5p, miR‑519a, miR‑519d, miR‑519e‑5p, miR‑520a‑5p, miR‑520h, miR‑524‑5p, miR‑525‑5p, miR‑526a and miR‑526b‑5p) was compared between...

Introduction. Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) usually has a multifactorial etiology that is often unknown, although the most frequently reported cause is infection by group B Streptococcus. Therefore, the etiology of PPROM, although probably infectious, remains unknown in most cases. This case describes a PPROM caused by infection from oropharyngeal microbiota. Case presentation....

BACKGROUND Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) occurs in 3% of pregnancies and 30-40% of preterm labors are related to this problem. Early diagnosis of PPROM is very important due to its impact on pregnancy outcomes. OBJECTIVE To determine the diagnostic value of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in vaginal fluid for the diagnosis of preterm...
