Abstract
A randomized clinical trial study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of intravenous oxytoxin (50 cases) and intracervical prostaglandin E2 (0.5 mg Tab, 50 cases) on the ripening of the cervix and frequency of successful inductions in patients with low Bishop score (<5). Means of maternal age, gestational age, parity, BS at admission did not show any significant differences between the two groups. Until 6 hrs after beginning treatment, 72% of oxytoxin group and 74% of PGE2 group were achieved active labor and until 12 hrs, 70% and 76% delivered respectively. It was no statistically significant difference. The mean drug administration to delivery time was 7.3±3.1 hrs in oxytoxin group and 7.6±3.1 hrs in PGE2 group (without significant difference). No difference in route of delivery was found between the two groups. Maternal complications were seen in 60% of oxytocin group and 46% of PGE2 group, without significant difference. Between maternal complications, frequency of diarrhea was higher at PGE2 group (P=0.02). Fetal complications were seen 4% in the PGE2 group and 16% in oxytocin group, that was less in the first (RR=0.25 CI 95%: 0.06-0.97).

Abstract
In order to determine the frequency rate of urinary stress incontinence (S.I) after delivery and related factors a longitudinal study carried on primiparous women in Arash Hospital in 1379. Through a non probability sampling, 400 eligible women were recruited from available population. Patient with complain of urinary stress incontinence on third day after delivery, were examined and undergone for required diagnostic tests. After stabilizing the diagnosis of urinary stress incontinence, they were followed on 6th week, 3th month and the first year after delivery. The mean of maternal age was 23.5±4.3 years and the mean of gestational age was 37.9±2.1 weeks. The vaginal delivery and cesarean section rates were 83.7 percent and 16.3 percent respectively. From the cases, 50 women (12.5 percent) had S.I on third day after delivery, which 28 of them had this problem from their pregnancy (grup A), and in 22 patients (5.5 percent), S.I were began after delivery (group B). On first year after delivery, only 6 patients (1.5 percent) had complaint of S.I, totally. All patients with S.I had a vaginal delivery and no cases of S.I had found in cesarean section group (65 women). This difference was significant (P=0.019). Comparison of 3 groups A, B and C (including 285 women without S.I after vaginal delivery) had represented that the mean of maternal age and gestational age were significantly higher in group B than other two groups (P=0.0001 and P=0.0009 respectively).

Abstract
Background: Vulvovaginal candidiasis, the most common type of vaginitis, is usually caused by Candidia albicans. Patients experience a variety of symptoms. There are many types of vulvovaginal candidiasis with various microbial causes, symptoms, host circumstances, recurrence rates, and responses to treatment. The purpose of this study was to find the best method of treatment of complicated vaginitis as determined by its high prevalence, varying symptoms and signs and patient complaints.
Methods: In this open clinical trial without placebo control, we studied all patients aged 18 to 65 years, suffering from vaginitis symptoms that presented at the gynecological clinic of Arash Hospital, Tehran, Iran, during the year 2004. After obtaining informed consent, we assessed the response to a treatment of single 150 mg dose of fluconazole in one group, and sequential 150 mg doses of fluconazole in the other. The analysis was performed using SPSS statistical software (version 11).
Results: With regard to symptom severity, no significant difference was found between the groups. The rate of excoriation and fissure formation demonstrated significant difference between the two groups (p=0.048). Assessment of clinical and mycological response proved that patients with severe vaginitis treated with sequential doses of fluconazole had a better general status than those in the other group. The difference between the severity of vaginitis and positive response to the treatment in culture was not significant among patients with recurrent vaginitis.
Conclusion: Patients with mild to moderate recurrent vaginitis show better response to treatment. The high rate of positive culture on day 35 reconfirms the limitation of fluconazole and other azoles as fungistatic drugs.

Abstract
Background: Infectious complications of hysterectomy remain common despite the use of antibiotic. The usual existing methods of preoperative antisepsis do not control the vaginal bacteria that are the primary cause of contamination at the surgical site. Our goal was to assess whether febrile morbidity after total abdominal hysterectomy is decreased by the addition of povidone-iodine gel at the vaginal apex after the routine vaginal preparation with povidone-iodine solution.
Methods: We carried out a prospective randomized trial on women admitted for elective abdominal hysterectomy. Inclusion criteria included planned abdominal hysterectomy for benign or malignant gynecologic conditions. Exclusion criteria consisted of emergency surgery, current treatment for pelvic infection, and known povidone-iodine allergy. A total of 168 patients were randomized to either the control group or the intervention group, who received 20 cc povidone-iodine gel placed at the vaginal apex immediately before the operation. Both groups received the routine preoperative preparation of antimicrobial prophylaxis, abdominal and vaginal scrubbing with povidone-iodine solution prior to the operation. The primary outcome was post-operative febrile morbidity. Other outcomes included abdominal wound infection, vaginal cuff cellulitis or pelvic abscess. Data was analyzed using Fisher's exact test. p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The overall rate of febrile morbidity was 20.5%. Febrile morbidity occurred in ten of 80 (12.5%) women receiving the povidone-iodine gel preparation and 24 of 86 (27.9%) women not receiving the gel (p<0.05). The rate of abdominal wound infection was 18.6% (16) in the control group, and 5% (4) in the gel group (p<0.05). Vaginal cuff cellulitis was seen in three patients from the control group versus one woman from the gel group (p>0.05). Pelvic abscess was diagnosed in one patient from the control group and in no patients from the gel group (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Preoperative vaginal povidone-iodine gel is an effective technique for reducing febrile morbidity and the risk of abdominal wound infection after hysterectomy.

Abstract
Background: Approximately 10 percent of all pregnancies continue to 42 weeks'gestation. The true prevalence of pregnancies lasting longer than 41 or 42 weeks'gestation has been difficult to establish because many such diagnoses occur as a result of an inability to accurately establish time of conception. Several studies indicate that menstrual dating is often inaccurate and can lead to induction of labor for a presumed but inaccurate diagnosis of postterm pregnancy. It is now widely accepted that a more precise method of determining gestational age is the first trimester measurement of crown-rump length of the fetus.
Methods: We carried out a cross- sectional study on patients who were referred for a prenatal care to Arash hospital, Medical Sciences/University of Tehran. Women in the first trimester of pregnancy who presented to the center during the study period with precise date of last menstrual period were eligible to enroll. They underwent an ultrasound dating scan between 8 and 12 weeks, measuring crown-rump length. The estimated date of delivery (EDD) was changed if there was a discrepancy of more than 5 days from the gestation, calculated from the last menstrual period (LMP). For the remaining women (no-scan group), gestation was determined using the LMP. Data were analyzed using SPSS, 11. Statistical significance was assessed with Chi-square, student t-test and Anova, using a significance threshold of < 0.05.
Results: Of 217 women who were enrolled, 10.6% of the patients who underwent an ultrasound dating scan were postdate versus 3.7% of the patients whose gestational age calculated from LMP (p=0.005).
Conclusions: The application of first trimester sonographic measurement of crown-rump length of the fetus results in a significant reduction of the diagnosis of postterm pregnancies.
