ABSTRACT
Background: guiding the travelers in Norouz is one of the important activities which are done by Youth Organization of Red Crescent society. This plan follows some goals as, to help travelers to have a safe trip [by making relief and safety recommendations]; to provide tranquility for them [by giving precise information about roads]; to develop the culture of humanism and kindness among young people [by increasing youth contribution in charities]; and also to improve various leisure facilities in Norouz. The present paper aims to study the mentioned plan, its weak and strength points and how people know about it
Methods: by using of questionnaires in this survey research, there were selected and completed about 3500 samples in 30 provinces
Findings: according to the findings, about 76% of responders had a positive view about the necessity of education. Also, they declared that for having a safe trip it is useful to cooperate with the Youth Organization of Red Crescent society. Over 80% of responders were satisfied with the plan and the given services in all provinces
Conclusion: relief services are important for Norouz travelers; therefore, it should be the main important priority for Youth Organization of Red Crescent society
ABSTRACT
Intrauterine insemination [IUI] has been widely used for the treatment of infertility. Several prognostic factors for IUI outcome have been proposed, including the endometrial thickness and follicle numbers, etiology and duration of infertility and morphology, type and motility of sperms. A total of 463 IUI cycles in which clomiphene citrate and/or human menopausal gonadotrophin [HMG] were used for ovarian stimulation analyzed retrospectively to identify prognostic factors regarding treatment outcome. The overall pregnancy rate was 13% per cycle. Logistic regression analyses were done on 14 sets of data, including age, Duration of infertility, Type of infertility, The etiology of infertility, Sperm count, Sperm motility before and after processing, The method of ovarian stimulation, Endometrial thickness, Type of catheter, Use of tenaculum, Season of IUI performing, The number of dominant follicle and cycle number. Logistic regression analysis revealed two predictive variables as regards pregnancy: number of the dominant follicles [P = 0.003] and the thickness of endometrium [P = 0.001]. The odds ratios for number of the dominant follicles and thickness of endometrium were 1.41 and 1.78 respectively. The results indicate that controlled ovarian hyperstimulation [COH] and IUI achieves the best results with increased number of preovulatory follicles and endometrial thickness
ABSTRACT
The most common complication of pregnancy is abortion. The etiology of recurrent pregnancy loss is not completely known. There are few therapeutics and diagnostic strategies in recurrent abortion. The aim of this study was to compare the use of heparin with aspirin vs prednisolone with aspirin in patients with recurrent pregnancy loss [RPL]. This randomized clinical trial study comprised of 50 patients with RPL referred to Fatemieh Hospital, Hamadan. These patients were selected when beta-HCG test was positive and were divided into two groups [n=25 for each group]. Patients in the first group received subcutaneous heparin [5000 U twice a day] and oral microcoated aspirin [80 mg once a day] up to 20[th] week of pregnancy. Ultrasonography was repeated 3 times for these patients. Ca tablet was administrated in order to prevent osteoporosis. Antiphospholipid and anticardiolipin antibodies were checked for all patients. Neonates were visited by a neonatologist and followed up for one month. Finally, the data were analyzed by t-test and Fisher's exact test. The mean age of prednisolone with aspirin group were 31.8 +/- 3.3 years while, it was 30.7 +/- 3.2 years in heparin with aspirin group and, this difference was not significant [P>0.05]. The mean pregnancy loss number was 2.8 +/- 1.1 while 2.4 +/- 1 in prednisolone with aspirin and heparin with aspirin groups respectively, which was not statistically significant [P>0.05]. Anticardiolipin antibody was positive in 4 [8%] patients, and antiphospholipid antibody was also positive in 4 [8%] patients. Pregnancy loss with heparin + aspirin was significantly higher than prednisolone + aspirin [P<0.05]. There was not any case of complications in two groups. The results of this study showed that prednisolone with aspirin are more effective than heparin with aspirin in the management of recurrent pregnancy loss and are preferred to use in these patients
