Abstract
Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common presenting symptom indicative of abnormal menstrual bleeding patterns that may occur in anovulatory or ovulatory women.There are different ways to diagnose AUB, all requiring much time and energy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the value of endometrial biopsy, transvaginal ultrasonography with dilation and curettage (D&C) which is the current gold standard procedure.
Methods: A prospective-descriptive study was conducted on fifty patients referred to our center for refractory abnormal uterine bleeding who were candidates for hysterectomy. All patients underwent endometrial biopsy and transvaginal ultrasonography , followed by D&C as a Gold standard procedure in operating room just before surgery.
Results: Mean age of patients was 46.62 years. Transvaginal utrasonography offered a sensitivity of 70% and specificity of 68% demonstrating the lowest numbers compared to D&C. Endometrial biopsy had a sensitivity of 70% and specificity of 75% that was better than sonography alone.
Conclusion: D&C was the most useful and valuable procedure and addition of endometrial biopsy with transvaginal ultrasonography will not be of high value in diagnosis.

Abstract
Background: Vaginal vault prolapse is a significant longer-term complication in patients undergoing hysterectomy. An important cause is generally acknowledged to be weakness in the uterosacral and cardinal ligaments. Vaginal delivery is known to be a risk factor, and obesity and menopause are predisposing factors. Urogynecologists are constantly looking for simple, safe and effective ways to cure vaginal apex prolapse. Infracoccygeal sacropexy, also known as posterior intravaginal slingplasty, is a useful and less-invasive procedure, with low morbidity. The aim of this study is to confirm the efficacy, safety and long-term outcome of infracoccygeal sacropexy for the treatment of vault prolapse.
Methods: In a prospective observational study, we performed infracoccygeal sacropexy to treat 26 patients who had at least grade 3 symptomatic vault prolapse secondary to transvaginal hysterectomy. Data collection included anatomic outcome, and intra- and post-operative complications.
Results: The mean patient age was 67 years. The mean operation time was 30 minutes and mean blood loss was 130 ml. No intraoperative rectal perforation was seen, and all patients were discharged within 24 hours of surgery. The symptomatic cure of prolapse rate, urgency, nocturia and pelvic pain was 96.2%, 88.8%, 92.6% and 77% orderly. Only one tape rejection occurred in one of the 26 patients.
Conclusion: Our initial experience with infracoccygeal sacropexy shows an efficacy similar to other more established surgical techniques for the cure of vault prolapse, but with less surgical morbidity. Therefore, the procedure is found to be efficient and safe, with shorter operation times, reduced postoperative complication and shorter hospital convalescence.

Abstract
Background: Infectious diseases are problematic in all around the world especially in the developing countries and early diagnosis of infections and one etiologic agents has a major role in the treatment of one patients. There are some culturing methods consist of conventional, semiautomatic and automatic. One of automatic methods is BACTEC system worked by fluorescent technology and Co2 production of organisms in culture media.
Methods: This study is based on observational-descriptive method with simple convenient sampling. We analyzed 262 samples of body sterile fluids of patients admitted in pediatric and internal wards of a university (Rasol- Acram) Hospital. They are consisting of 150 blood, 46 synovial, 32 CSF, 24 pleural, and 10 peritoneal samples.
Results: There were no differences between two sex in BACTEC and Conventional methods. Average age of patients with positive and negative culture in two methods had not differences. 72 (27.5%) samples were positive that 32 (12.2%) samples only in BACTEC method, 4 (1.5%) in conventional method and 36 (13.7%) in two methods had statistical differences (p=0.003). That means positive cultures are seeing in BACTEC more than Conventional method. Comparison of two methods in positive blood culture samples had statistical differences (p=0.02) but no statistical differences in other body fluids were seen. i. e. positive cultures were seen in BACTEC more than Conventional method. Positive culture in these two methods had statistical differences in antibiotic utilization (p<0.001). Positive culture in antibiotic utility were seen in BACTEC more than Conventional method. The average time of culture to become positive were 17.5+ 5.88 hours in BACTEC against 62.36+ 13.98 hours in Conventional method. Contamination was seeing in 4 samples in BACTEC and 2 in Conventional method that had no significant differences.
Conclusion: According to these data organism detection in BACTEC culture media from body sterile fluids overall and specially from blood is more successful than Conventional method. It is a better method in antibiotic utilization. BACTEC can isolate organism in shorter duration than Conventional method. BACTEC can facilitate early and accurate diagnosis of infectious etiology, shorten duration of hospital stay and decrease mortality and morbidity and cost.

Background: The abdominal sacrocolpopexy is the gold standard method of vaginal prolapse
correction and posterior intra- vaginal slingplasty (posterior IVS) is a newer procedure with minimal invasion.
This study is going to compare the effectiveness and complications of these two
surgical methods.
Methods: In this study, 51 patients with prolapse
admitted to vali-e-asr Hospital
of Tehran University of
medical science were evaluated during years 2001-2004. 26 patients were operated
by posterior IVS method (the first
group) and 25 of them had
undertaken sacrocolpo-pexy (the second group). Data were primarily gathered
from patients' folder and further complimentary information were achieved by
two years follow-up and inviting patients to interview or exam.
Results: Eighty
percent of women with abdominal sacrocolpopexy were cured
compared to 96.2 percent with posterior IVS. Surgery complications was reported in one patient (4%) of second group while none of patients in first group experience this and
the difference was not statistically meaningful. Short-term post surgical
complications (hemorrhage-perforation fever and abdominal distention) were also
negative in first group (posterior intra vaginal slingplasty) but these
problems such as fever and abdominal distention were positive in 36% of second group (abdominal sacrocolpopexy) which
was evidently statistically meaningful (p=0.001). Long- term post surgical complication (tape and mesh disfunction) were
seen in 7.7% of first group
while none of second group patients showed these complications.
Conclusion: According
to shorter operating time, lower complications and efficient response to
therapy in posterior IVS
method, it can be an alternative in prolapse surgery it is preferred in elderly
patients with medical problems.

Abstract
Background: Gross difference in return to work exists in pilonidal
sinus patients operated by primary and secondary repair. This survey was to
evaluate the results of surgical management of pilonidal sinus with primary or
secondary closure.
Methods: In a randomized clinical
trial, patients with pilonidal sinus referring to the surgical clinic of Shariati
Hospital in Tehran, Iran between March 2007 and March 2009 were underwent either
excision with midline closure (primary, n=40), or excision without closure (secondary, n=40). The recorded outcomes were
hospital stay, healing time, time off work, postoperative pain, patient's
satisfaction and the recurrence rate.
Results: Majority of the patients were
male (87.50%). There was no significant
difference in the hospital stay. Time off work (8.65±1.73 Vs. 11.53±2.33 days, p=0.001) and healing time (3.43±0.92 Vs. 5.3±0.79 days, p=0.001) were shorter in primary
group but, there were no significant differences in hospital stay and number
of visits. Intensity of postoperative pain in the 1st (37.75±6.5 Vs. 43.63±5.06, p=0.001), 2nd (26.75±6.66 Vs. 34.63±5.48, p=0.001), 3rd (18.25±6.05 Vs. 27.88±6.88, p=0.001), and 7th (8.45±3.85 Vs. 17.88±6.19, p=0.001) days were lower in primary
closure group. There was not significant difference in complication rates in
groups. Patients' satisfaction was higher in primary group (4.15±0.53 Vs. 3.6±0.5, p=0.001).
Conclusion: According to this study excision and primary
closure is the preferred procedure in patients with pilonidal sinus. It has the
advantages of shorter time off work earlier wound healing, lesser
postoperative pain, higher patients satisfaction and comparable complication
and recurrence rates with excision and open wound.

Abstract
Background: Early detection of fetal gender can provide an alarm for parents who complicated by genetic disorders. Moreover, the invasive tests are used for detecting any sex-specific genetic syndromes before 12 weeks of gestation. This study was de-signed to discover any association between placental location and fetal gender between 11 to 13+6 weeks of gestation.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 singleton pregnant women. They were referred for Down syndrome screening sonography to prenatal clinic, Imam Khomeini Hospital a tertiary referral university affiliated hospital, Ahvaz, Iran, in 2013. Women were included if they are singleton and at 11 to 13(+6) weeks gestational age. Exclusion criteria were multifetal, ectopic pregnancies, or dead fetus. Information about placental location (upper, middle, below, anterior, posterior), gravidity, and fetal gender were recorded. All participants of our study were evaluated by one trained gy-necologist in ultrasound examinations during nuchal translucency (NT) examinations. Ultrasonography was performed using the Accuvix V10 OB/GYN ultrasound. All patients were followed-up till delivery for confirming the predicted gender. Information regarding gender of newborn were collected using medical chart review or by phone contact.
Results: Among 200 placenta which had been assessed, 103 (51.5%) were anterior and 97 (48.5%) were posterior. Our results showed that 75 (72.8%) from girl cases had an anterior placenta, while just 28 (27.2%) from boy cases had an anterior placenta (P< 0.001). In addition, there was significant association between placental location regard-ing below, middle, and upper and fetal gender.
Conclusion: According to our results, an anterior and posterior positions of the placen-ta had significant relation with fetal gender. Our findings are consistent with previous studies regarding prediction of fetal gender using placental location. We suggest that more research with large sample size is required as well as investigations with more de-tails about placental locations.

Abstract
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorders in reproductive age women. These women confer with complications of pregnancy such as gestational diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension, preeclampsia and neonatal complications such as small for gestational diabetes (SGA) are more prevalence in women with PCOS. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of complications associated with PCOS in pregnant women.
Methods: This was an observational and prospective study which recruited 205 pregnant women with PCOS from Imam Khomeini Hospital, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences (AJUMS) between 2013 and 2014. Inclusion criteria were women with PCOS and gestational age over 20 weeks. The demographic and clinical variables including mother's age, body mass index (BMI) and conditions of pregnancy including pregnancy-induced hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and overt diabetes and neonatal complications such as preterm labor (PTL), SGA and intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) were recorded.
Results: The prevalence of hypertension disorders, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and overt diabetes were observed in 44 (21.5%), 18 (8.8%), 29 (14%) and 22 (11%) patients, respectively. The history of familial diabetes was shown in 28 patients (13.6%). In addition, the history of pregnancy induced hypertension was reported in 25 patients (12.1%). Only 6 patients (2.9%) had history of gestational diabetes. Among neonatal complications due to PCOS, SGA with 15.3% and then PTL with 12.6% had highest prevalence. IUFD was shown only in 2 patients.
Conclusion: Pregnant women with PCOS are at the higher risk for pregnancy and neonatal complications. Specifically, these women should be evaluated for pregnancy induced hypertension during pregnancy than others.

Abstract
Background: Rash is a common complaint in children that has many causes and the various differential diagnoses. Therefore, urgent and appropriate clinical diagnosis is necessary to provide immediate medical intervention. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the causes of skin rash in children hospitalized due to rash.
Methods: This descriptive-analytic study was performed on all patients admitted for skin rashes in Hazrat Masoumeh Hospital in Qom, Iran from 2010 to 2015. In this study, the data of 317 patients who were admitted to the early diagnosis of rash were collected from patients' files and recorded in the checklist.
Results: According to our study, the most common causes of skin rashes in children were viruses with a share of 40.69% (129 cases), allergic causes being as prevalent as 21.77% (69 cases) and drug induced rashes that accounted for 20.50% (65 cases). Based on the site and type of rashes, the most common type of rashes were maculopapular rashes with 42% and hives with 31.9% prevalence, and the most common site of involvement was diffuse involvement that would account for 84% of the cases. In terms of drug use history, 35.6% had a history of antibiotic use prior to admission, and 14.5% had an antiepileptic drug use history. There was a significant relationship between the cause of rashes and the season of presentation (P< 0.05) as well as the age of presentation (P< 0.05).
Conclusion: This study showed that there is a significant relationship between the season and age of occurrence, but the use of these factors as a benchmark for the diagnosis of rash requires more studies. Paying attention to the causes of rash in children, knowing about these factors, and continuous evaluation of these patients can help in advancing a proper management of the problem of patients. The most frequent factors were viruses and then allergic and pharmaceutical agents, and the most common type was maculopapular.

Abstract
Background: There is some demand for nasogastric tube insertion in unconscious or ICU patients. Nasogastric tubes are generally made of flexible plastic materials, prone to twisting and deviation by the tracheal tube, when passing through the pharynx and esophageal opening, making it difficult to insert the NG-tube properly. We hypothesized that NG-tube insertion with help of guidewire can significantly increase a successful first-try insertion rate in contrast with the conventional "neck flexing" technique in unconscious intubated patients.
Methods: One hundred adult intubated patients, in the emergency ward at Sina Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences were enrolled in this prospective clinical trial study from February 2020 to July 2020. These patients were randomly divided into two groups, with and without use of the guidewire insertion technique. Parameters such as successful NG tube insertion average time, first and second try failure, total failure and occurrence of complications such as kinking, twisting, sticking, moderate hemorrhage and traumatic injuries to the nasopharynx pathway were studied.
|
Results: One hundred patients were enrolled in this study. The median age of patients was 55.4±10.8 years (12-75 yr). First-try insertion success was 98% in the guidewire group and 74% in the control group (P=0.001). First, the try insertion failure percentage was 2% in the guidewire group and 26% in the control group (P=0.001). The time needed for NG tube insertion was significantly lower in the guidewire group, as 38.3±4.8 seconds in the guidewire group vs 61.5±6.2 seconds in the control group (P=0.001). A significantly lower number of complications like twisting, sticking, hemorrhage and traumatization were seen in the guidewire group. Remarkably, that no case of absolute insertion failure was seen in the guidewire group but there were three such cases in the control group.
Conclusion: The incidence of a successful first-try NG tube insertion has been significantly improved by the use of Steel Wire rope against the conventional neck flexing technique, in unconscious intubated patients, and causes less traumatization and complications as well.

Abstract
Background: Urinary stress incontinence occurs due to weakness of the urethral sphincter and/or weakness of the pelvic floor muscles. The purpose of this study is to investigate the complications of TOT surgery in the treatment of women with stress urinary February.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that was conducted on women suffering from stress urinary incontinence who underwent TOT surgery in Rohani and Mehregan Hospitals of Babol between March 2010 and February 2019. In order to record early complications, the medical records available in the clinic were referred to for the examination of patients one week and two months after the operation. The late complications of the operation were also investigated at the time of entering the study. Also, satisfaction with the procedure was scored using a visual scale (score 0 to 100). SPSS version 26 software was used in this study. Also, the significance level is less than 0.05.
|
Results: The study included 59 patients, the majority of whom were housewives (91.5%), had an education level below high school (74.6%), and were menopausal (71.2%). The average age of the participants is 54.92±9.40 years. The most common postoperative complications were Dyspareunia (20.3%), lower urinary symptoms (13.6%), and incontinency (10.2%). Also, the rarest complications were intraoperative injury to the urethra or bladder (1.7%), mild Vaginal erogenous (1.7%), pain at the operation site (3.4%), and need for adjuvant treatment (3.4%). In response to the question of whether you would recommend this surgery to others who have the same problem, 53 people (83.89%) responded positively. The average level of patients' satisfaction with the operation (on a scale of 0 to 100) was 88.64±23.44. According to the T-test, there is a statistically significant relationship between the incidence of postoperative complications and the level of patient satisfaction (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Dyspareunia is the most common and complications during surgery such as damage to the urethra are the rarest complications of TOT surgery.

Abstract
Background: Mucormycosis is a rare and aggressive opportunistic fungal infection that has grown significantly in recent years. This infection is rarely seen in healthy people. Mucormycosis usually appears as an acute infection with manifestations in the rhino-cerebral, pulmonary and skin areas, and sometimes its manifestations can be seen as a widespread infection. The special importance of mucormycosis is due to its high mortality rate, which leads to death in 75 to 80 percent of cases. The specific susceptibility of some patients to mucormycosis points to the importance of iron absorption in the pathogenesis of mucormycosis, therefore, we decided to investigate the relationship between serum iron and ferritin levels and mucormycosis disease in patients with underlying factors predisposing to COVID-19.
Methods: This study is a case-control type, in which patients with mucormycosis after contracting COVID-19 and also with a history of diabetes mellitus as the case group and patients with COVID-19 and a history of diabetes mellitus are considered as the control group and the serum level of iron and ferritin will be measured and compared in both groups and the outcome of the study will be determined based on the obtained results.The study took place in hospitals of the Kermanshah university of medical sciences in the Kermanshah city from March 2021 to March 2022.
|
Results: In this study, 38 patients were examined in two groups of patients with mucormycosis along with COVID-19 and diabetes in the case group and patients with COVID-19 and diabetes in the control group with an average age of 63 years. In this study, there was no significant difference between the average age in the two studied groups. However, a significant difference was observed between serum iron and ferritin levels in two groups.
Conclusion: Hyperferritinemia is considered not only as an indicator of the systemic inflammatory process in the infection of COVID-19, but also indicates an increase in free iron level, which, as a result, contributes to the growth and spread of the fungus (mucormycosis).
